Commissioner E. O. Bruner of the

termination Mr. Vickers has mapped
out a plan of procedure that cannot
fail to accomplish large results, and
as the citizens of DonaldsonviIle are
evincing a spirit of interest and CO
operation greatly in excess of that
heretofore manifested, there can be
no doubt that the 1915 exhibition
will be bigger and better in every
respect than either of its two pre-
decessors, and a show worthy of the
group of fertile parishes and prosper,
GUS communities whose marvellous re.
sources and achievements it will
