The Southern Railway has long demoted much attention to fair and exposition exhibits, showing the resources and products of the Southeastern States. This year's exhibit work is almost entirely within its own territory. At state and other large i fairs and exposition its is making * ? ?? r\ rrri _ comprenensive t;.\uiuiLs, ituscij cultural, which are mostly of an edu- j caticnal character, and which show what the people of the Southeast and Df special communities may do. A large exhibit will be made in November at New York City. In the line of publicity for calling attention to the opportunities of the Southeast, liberal amounts are appropriated. The Southern Field, giving Information about all the System's territory, is widely and regularly circulated. Booklets descriptive of the iifferent states, publications relating :o the various lines of farming, pamphlets giving general or special inlormation or lists of lands or business jpportunities are published for the benefit of homeseekers and manufac:urers. In advertising opportunities in the Southeast agricultural, trade and general publications in the North are lsed and special advertising is done n Europe. SOUTHERN RY.'S EXHIBITS nteresting Display of Southern Farm Products at Land and Irrigation Congress. New York.?At the American Land ind Irrigation exposition, which recently opened at Madison Square Garlen, there are displays of farm and erchard products from every portion )f the United States and from Canida, but none excels the exhibit from ;he Southern -states made by the Southern Railway system, which has expended several thousand dollars in eollecting material for exhibit purposes from all parts of the territory served by its lines. The Southern railway's booth is six;y feet long and the arrangements of ;he exhibit is most tasteful and atiractice. There are exhibits of cotion, tobacco, the grains, grasses and iorage, crops, sugar cane, and all rinds of garden truck and an unusualv fruit. disnlav. The walls are covered by a large map of the South, sheaves of grain and grasses, a score large colored photographs of typical Southern farm, field and orchard iriews. There are a half dozen tables of the Southern apples, which will convince all who see them that the Southern apple-growing districts ire surpassed by none. Special literature has been prepared for circula- . tion at the exposition telling of the Southeastern states and especially of their farmlands and products. Each day an illustrated lecture on the Southeast is delivered by M. A. Hays of the Land and Industrial Department of the Southern Railway. For this lecture 150 new colored slides have been made. The leeture covers the industries, the agricultural re- j sources and developments, the scenic attractions, the resort centers of the Southeastern states, gives characteristics of Southern life and tells about the wide variety of opportunities found in this section. 0H20HESTERSPSLLS D5AM0ND ?$11^ BRAND 0 ^ ^ LADIES!

VOT being able to make an c:-:case sometimes a man is compelled to speak the truth. It is never too late to do right, but J sometimes it is uncomfortable. __ I A man who pays too many cornpiiments will sooner or later find himself owing something he won't know how to pay. Courtesy isn't expensive, but you wouldn't believe it to see how stingy some persons are of it. There are people who are so concerned about getting even with some one else that they fall hopelessly behind the procession. Any chap can be brave ia the absence of danger. Few men ruin their health trying to lead an upright honorable life. Almost any friend can tell why we didn't succeed, but he doesn't come round to explain until we aren't in a humor to hear any reference to the subject. You never can tell what will happen next. Destiny may be waiting round the corner this minute. There is a great difference in people. Some amuse themselves hoping for the best, and others find their chief joy in seeing the worst.
