and state offices in various fraternal
orders, covers all details connected
with the proposed exposition and fair
GAS there has been no real big
worlds fair anywhere in the world
since the world war, and none in the
United States since the Panama Ex-
position in San Francisco in 1915, the
country is ripe for such an event"
said Mr.. Gleason to the correspond
ent of this news service. eve are
not unmindful of the celebration in
Philadelphia next year, and as 1t is
understood that this is local propo
sition, we believe the bigger success
it is, the better for a successful Geor-
.gia exposition, since it is now over
thirty years since the last exposition
was held in this part of the country"
Mr.. Gleason said he has travelled
several thousand miles in the interest
of the exposition, having made
hundred or more addresses on the
subject before boards of trades,
chambers of commerce, as well as
interviewing many prominent people
in all parts of the United States.
Mr. Gleason gives reasons why the
proposed maritime exposition should
be held in 1882 and in Savannah.
The proposed fair and exposition
would not conflict with state or
county fairs, while Savannah would
be making preparations for the event
for several years.
