County Exhibits.

The Times Dispatch is gratiAed that
county papers In all parts Of the State
are urging upon the supervisors to make
appropriations for county exhibits at the
jamestown Exposition. The last Legis-
lature passed bill authorizing the
Board OF Supervisors OF each county to
appropriate an amount not exceeding
$1,000. to be provided for inFthe levies
of this summer. for the purpose OF adj
vertising the natural wealth. agriculture
horticulture. mineral and commercial re-
sources in their J. respective districts.
Every county which has anything to ad I
vertise should take advantage Of this
provision to make suitable exhibit at
the jamestown show. There will be- in
attendance upon the Exposition large
numbers Of prospectors and home seek.
ers. and they will be keen observers Of:
all the Virginia exhibits made. The
county which fails to have an u exhibit
cannot expect to profit by this oppor-
tunity.

The passing OF the free silver issue has

the Democrats who formerly opposed
him.. and then he has given Indication of
conservative tendencies on his
part. He published some time ago an
article lin "a lending magazine opposing
.theItheory OF Socialism, and this recon-
3mended him to New York Democrats,
who were perturbed over the Hearst
menace. Very recently II was reported
that Mr.. Bryan has given some strong

have partly triumphed In the rate bill

case, the Republican party is sure to

of anybody whom II may nominate, and

prove embarrassing than anybody else's
