They are Just the class OF citizens the.
South needs to still further develop the
wonderful resources of the great 'New
SOUTH" and the State Board of Agricul-
ture of North Carolina will have an
exhibit of the States products, occupy
ing two OF the biggest freight cars,
which will give the farmers OF that
comparatively cold and barren section,
some idea of what may be done tn this
most favored section.
The exhibit will be most compre-
hensive, and will consist OF agricultural
and horticultural specimens from the
ca ,tsr and Western parts of the states,
the fruits of the eastern section being
shosn in massive great bottles, while
those from the mountain section will be
shown in their natural slate. The
forestry department will he represented

plsnks about two feet long and from IL
to Is inches wide, which will give the
New Englanders anidea OF the var1-

scenes from the ocean to the mountains
will be shown, pOrtraying the wonder
full beauties of the western part of the
state in those gorgeous garments which
Dame Nature has so literally clothed
the mountains and valleys of North
Carolina.
The exhibit when in place in Pau
Revere Hall in Boston is expected tc
make most impressive showing, and
the expense will be repaid many times
over in the advertising this section vii
receive. It will be mentioned in all tht
advertising issued by the FAIR, which
will be done thro' the columns OF th'
country papers and by means of larg'
brightly printed posters, which will bt
placed all over the New England states
The city papers of the great city o
Boston will devote much space to tn
Fair, and of course to the North Caro-
lima exhibit, which, Mr.. Brunner states
will be the only Southern state exh1bl
there, the others from the South belni
represented merely as individuals.
There will be two and three excur
sions every day from all points in Ne,
England, and is conservatively esti

fine exhibit of North CarOlina's unsur
passed natural resources.
Mr.. Rrunner said the Board OF Agr
culture was extremely anxious for q
portions of the state to participate
this event by furnishing the Boar
with small pamphlets or folders, nicel
illustrated. and describing the bushes
opportunities in the different towns an
in their vicinities. It is especial
desirable to interest. said Mr.. Brunnel
all reliable real estate men and Othel
interested in securing new people an
additional capital to invest among then
Their names and q short list OF tf
properties they have for sale should a.

of an interesting nature, to insure b
ing taken home and carefully read.
The real benefit of this exhibitic
will come from this more serions cor
sideration of the opportunities presen
ed In this State for the hOme-seeke
the farmer and the capitalist. IT
exhibition and the free and extend'
mention it will receive thro' New En
land will arouse interest and 1t renal
for the different localities to prese
their arguments in such convincl
form and in such attractive manner
will eventually result in bringing ma
of these people into the State.
The Board of Agriculture, SAID n
Drummer, earnestly seeks this cooper
tion, and promises faithfully to d
tribute all advertising matter entrust
to it.
