Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Citizen of to-Day: An Address Delivered Before the Third Annual Fair of the State of Arkansas at Little Rock, October 12th, 1870 Ladies And Gentlemen: This pleasing scene which greets us here to-day, can not fail to make an agreeable impression upon every one who has our public welfare at heart. It is not that we behold here a collection of people assembled for the festivities of some unmeaning gala-day occasion. It is not for this that we behold the comers who have flocked hither to this point of attraction, but the occasion which calls us together is one of deeper import than that. We have come to witness what display our State can make in spreading to the gaze of the public the emblems of her prowess; the accumulations of her industry; the specimens of her productiveness; and to convince the world of the exalted excellence that lies crouched within her borders. It is for this that we have come together from all parts of our extended land, - that we have declared a truce with the cares and engagements of life; that we have shaken off the dust of trade and profession; that we have put away from us the requirements of business, and here in the scope of these beautiful grounds, we are to weave anew the scattered threads of friendship, to intertwine with them golden threads from the skein of Hope, and to cluster around this altar in a joint libation to the Patron Saint of Agriculture, "whose ways are ways of pleasantness, and all whose paths are peace."
