STATE FAIR AT RICHMOND.

1t is gratifying 70 the people
of our section TO learn Of the
proposed State Fair in Rich
mond next fall. and Of great
satisfaction 10 the people
throughout Virginia. The pri-
mary OBJ sct of this enterprise
rs to afford an opportunity to
the people of Virginia to exhib-
II annuity TO the world our pro-
ductive resources and TO extend
and advertise our prosperity
thereby materially promoting
the welfare of our State. Ii
viii induce a healthy immigra-
ton, enhance land values and
encourage home industry.
People of this generation are
SO progressive they not only
want TO read about conditions.
but TO see for themselves.
Nothing is more readily con-
vincing than demonstration, a
State Fair will accomplish this
object more forcible than any
other means.
The organization proposes to
arrange this enterprise not only
to arouse competition among
our people, but TO attract inves-
tors from other sections. The
large aaount of Sl50,OOO rails
ed by the people of Richmond
indicates their purpose to spare
no expense TO make this occa-
sion a grand success from
every standpoint.
The success of the Fair should
and will appeal to every city -.
village and county in the State,
they should realize without
their cooperation and presence
the results we hope TO obtain
for the State would be mater
tally diminished.
Many sections OF the State
have already indicated their
purpose of extending a hearty
and cordial support, appreciat-
ing the results that would ma
terially accrue therefrOm. Our
people are progressive and will
be glad of the opportunity to
cooperate. The progress of the
Fair will be reported hereafter
in detail affording our people
such Information as they may
desire on the subject in general.
The people of Richmond were
especially fortunate in procur-
ing for the President of the
Fair Hon. III. c. Stuart of South
west Virginia. No man in the
State is better qualified for the
position, for he is a man of in. /
domitable energy, extensive
acquaintance and successful
experience. He will
be most valuable head for so
great an enterprise, aud worthy I
3 cause for the welfare of our
people.
