america. From manufacturing and
other standpoints, including climate
conditions and health, it is also the
most notable section Of the nation.
An effort will be made to bring to
the land show not lass than twenty
five to fifty thousand investors and
home-seekers, and with the rail-
roads OF the section cooperating as
they have promised to do, and ali
the active interests working TO get
people of the West and East to come
to the Land Show and from the
Land Show to personally investigate
all parts of the territory embraced
by the show, it is not thought that
an estimate of a possible fifty thous-

pect.
1t is generally agreed that no
more propitious time could have
been selected for the South to hold
its first Land Show as not only the

looked as we slipped our moorings
and sailed away! The steeples of
st. MichaeI's and st. Philips stood
out softly against the gray of the
early morning as we rounded the
Battery, and keeping James Islam l

blue the water locked in the morn

steamer was like a silver ribbon be-
