Some special features will be in our exhibit that have never been 

 attempted before and some things so attractive that they will be for 

 the attention of every one. All these details are not yet completed,

 plenty, quantity, and above all, quality, so that we shall have the 

 record of doing the most and best that has ever been done by any 

 State. We shall have this not only an educational feature, but a public 

 attraction as well, so that the general public may remember that 

 Missouri grows good fruits in abundance.
