Show Tta Tclr's Izllzzzzo. The greatest of World'i fairs is orer, and, contrary con-trary to predictions, it Las ben a success. Millions of persons Visited it,, and it is safe, to eay that all benefited. ' It has been a wonderful exposition, and its results are bound to accelerate the progress of the Nation. There has been little to criticise and much to commend in the management of the fair. It was not marred by wrangles, and the exhibits were wonderful won-derful in their scope and completeness. It was a great educator, and at the same time a source of wholesome, pleasure to all who visited it. The fair showed what the new South can do end is doing. St. Louis, while not so typically Southern as Memphis or New Orleans, is still essentially essen-tially Southern, and that she has given an expos!- tion that eclipsed anything of the kind yet attempted, at-tempted, speaks highly for the progress the South is making. The fair brought the people of North and South together more intimately than they have ever been, and a much better understanding is certain to follow. The men who planned and carried out the exposition ex-position are entitled to the highest praise. They have served their country well. |
