To the Editors OF the Union and American.
Allow me to make suggestion through
your columns to the business men and
public spirited citizens of Nashville:
The 26th day of April being the tftieth
anniversary Of Odd Fellowship in the
United States, the different lodges Of the
brotherhood in Nashville have determined
TO celebrate the day in becoming man.
nsr They have invited the entire
membership of all the lodges
within the bounds of the
Middle Division of Tennessee and also
from all the towns in Kentucky connected
with our city by railroad. Not only this,
but they have made arrangements for half
fare tickets 10 ali who may come to Nash
Vile to attend the celebration that day.
The arrangements so far as have been
made for the celebration only provide for
procession through the streets
and an Grafton at some church or
hall during the day. What ia this
to induce three thousand sensible
men, residing in thirty towns within
hundred miles to visit Nashville? Why
cannot the enteaprising business men and
public spirited citizens of our thriving city
cooperate with the Odd Fellows and en-.
deavor to induce as many as possible Ia
visit Nashville on that day? The visitors
will come In on the early trains, they will
| spend the forenoon in the procession and
other acts of celebration. By one O'Clock
they will be through. Now, why cannol
the citizens arrange dinner on grand
scale for the visitors? If this is done, moi
less than three thousand Odd Fellows will
visit Nashville on that day, and many o
them will bring their wives and children
1t will be pleasant trip for them. They
6ill not only come to visit for the pleas
ure, but they will come TO make theil
spring purchases, and the money they
will leave in Nashville will amount Il
thousands of dollars. No merchant oil
other business man can fail TO see the i'm
portance Of this move, nor will any in NJ!

the arrangement.
would suggest that all who feel an in
terest in the matter meet at the office o
the Commercial Insurance Company OF
next Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock
for consultation. ENTERPRISE.
