States will be brought to realize the re-
sources of the southland by the Appalach-
Ian exposition, which is to be held in
Knoxville September IL to October IL of
this year. said Sanford H. Cohen of that
city.

waterways of that great territory, as well
as the development of the resources of the
entire section, which Is wonderfully fer

make exhibits of their resources, as well
as the cities and counties, showing the
mineral, manufacturing and agricultural
development OF that section.

ton is receiving great impetus from the
manufacturing and money interests of
other sections of the country"
