that the Mississippi Centennial Expo
sition is in no way a Gulfport exposi-
ton. That the big show is essentially
a statewide enterprise, for all Nissis
sippi and to be made up Of all OF Mis-
sissippfs best in every way and from
every remote corner That Gulfport
has only such part in the affair as
may have every other city, town and
community in the State-that Of ex
plotting all its resources and advau-
tages before the eyes Of TIE thousands
of people who win be attracted to the
exposition That this exposition is q
giant OPPORTUNITY made by
Mississippians for gil Mississippi and
that even from Its very inception tie
project is designed to foster the wen
being and future prospects Of the most
remote corner Of the State
That individual or community which
fails to realize this truth is he victim
of a fatal civic blindness and is apt to
too late deplore the fact,
