is attracting universal notice
for its splendid fruits, mineral and
timber display. No other display
there receives more attentive examination
or creates greater admiration
from those who have heretofore considered
our state incapable of producing
much of anything. It is
only a question of a very few years
when we will take the lead of all
our sister states of the South in
agricultural industries. Already
immigration is beginning to fill up
and increase our population; and
the number of acres of valuable land
which has been taken up and homesteaded
in the past year or two is
wonderful. We see nothing to
hinder us from being the foremost
of all in point of wealth if the same
class of people keep on coming that
have been crowding in during the
last two years.
