terday afternoon, being well pleased with what |
they saw Of their short visit and regret
ting they had not the time for visiting |
all Of the many interesting places in and !
around the city. Most Of the excursion !
lists visited the Capitol and took a view |
OF Nashville. Edgefield and the surrounding |
country, whose varied landscape, with hill and |
dale, and brook and flowing river, forms a scene
at once picturesque and enchanting to the Wis |
ion. If Kentucky has any other ladies so beau |
tltul and fascinating as the fair visitors from |

Happy memories, bright eyes and beauty's smile |
and golden dreams, laden with the hope of seeing |
them again, will be among the treasured feel |
ings and pleasant suggestions we shall ever have |
when thinking, as so often we must of those |
young ladies whose presence has been as sore |

seen that people have come here from every die

that there were ten thousand visitors present
franklin, Columbia aud other pieces
along the line # the Nashville and Decatur
railroad also sent many visitors to the EXPOSE
ton. increasing the numbers very peTccptihly.
We believe the Exposition could be run to advaT-
.age another week did the time and OppOrtuni-
lies OF the managers admit OF further attention
being shown this great enterprise, which has
eclipsed that of other cities in many Of the most
m pOTtaHt features. This alone should induce
Jur people to take greater and more active
measure for making the
