THE BABY SHOW.
A marked feature of the Ioanaoement of /
the present Fair has been an evidence that |
those having it in charge are determined |
that the exhibition should not decrease in
| interest, but possess new and varied attrae-
tons each day, by the introduction of |
something pleasing, popular and entertain
ing Each day thus far, all have been |
pleased, and we are sure that it will be so |
to the end. The programme for to- day is a |
highly entertaining one, and thousands |
Will be there to see it carried out, To- |
morrow will close the exhibition, and one |
OF the crowning events of the dsy will be |
the premium for the finest baby eiahteen |
months old and under. Now there is |
nothing that mora quickly srorises |
maternal pride than the Acknowledged |
superiority of her baby. There is no
city or section Of country ia the world |
that has finer babies, larger babjes /
handsomer babies or more of them than
mas Nashville and vicinity. These youur
buds OF our future crop of population.
these little preface leaves 10 our future |
census books will be exhibited 70 adysn-
