Col A. Cox and L. W. McCOrd took the
upward-bound train, through the cOur-
iesy of Capt. Bard, r. r. Agent, and
/ Mr. jas. Geddes, Supt., eR-rOate 10 meet
! The train upon which the latter named
/ gentleman haze comfortably stored thG
members of the Tennessee Press AssOcia-
/ ton. At Carriers Greek the trains met
and the committee returned with the
delegates, stopping at Colum bia TO take
on three members of the Press. Arriv-
ing at Pulaski at II: 90 D M, we found
number of citizens IN waiting with
carriages TO escort US to AntOinetIe Hall.
Here we will let the reporter of the
Nashville Banner speake:
"They had brought their elegant turn
outs to the depot and soon had their Wis
1tors driving along Main Street in a
style that would have moved the envy
of amy ordinary mOrtals The tidy,
handsome buildings along the eleanly
and even streets, revealed the besT built,
handsOmest, and generally one of the
most fiOurishing country towns in Ten
nessee, and, perhaps, even IN all this
Southern country.
The first place to which the newspa-
per folks were conducted was AnUoi-
nette Hall, a coy and tasteful little the
alter building that would do credit to a
town of twice the size. The ''Press As
5OciatiOn"-another name for Total Alb
stinence Society, were here induced to
fOrswear their leally resolves with such
wine as it were surely unchristian for
man to refuse, and being each of them
assigned to his host for the nOnce, be-
took them to the households of people
who had made up their minds that their
guests should not suffer in any wise, UNI
less from. oyer-indulgence.

THE CITIZENS WELCoME
was extended by Capt. JnO. c. Lester, i'm
behalf of the town authorities, and by
Gov. Brown in behalf OF the citizens.
Both addresses were brief, but abound
ed in logical suggestions and words of
welcome to our guests. Col. Griffith re-
piled in his usual felicitous manner in
behalf of the Association. After re-
turning thanks for the welcome and rec
Ognizing the hospitality for which Giles
is famous, he alluded to the public rec

GOV. BROWN's PRIVATE RECEPTION.
Here again we will permit 3 Nashville |
reporter to speak, as we feel unwilling |
surself to attempt description of this !
splendid affair:
"YOur reporter is not Jenkins, and |
has not been able to trace any relation
ship to any of that illustriOus name, yet, |
nevertheless, he must beg to say, that
the Governor and his excellent lady
know how to give royal reception, and
are not stinted in the use of this rare
knowledge, Among the guests were
many of the high bred gspUipe woman
hood of Giles. Mrs. Brown was assist
ed in her reception by Mrs HuRhk1. Ewz
ing, Mrs. Tyre Rodes, Miss Ada Foust,
Miss Bell Carter and Mrs. DR.. j. +.
Grant.
Now you khGw, and we all know that
the Middle, the Eastern and the West
ern portions of our State nays, each,
the very handsomest women that the
world ever saw, but it does seem that
Giles, In this respect, can boast of the
fairest of the most fair. These RnViahle
winds that gladly glide along these
grand old hills have touched their mod
est cheeks with cOlors that art has not
Learned.
AZ the Governors fete there was mu-
sic, there was dancing and there was ed
ibles good enough for Christian.
There, too, was voice that Nashville
never tires of, and none Of its sottness
and bird-like sweetness pas given IT
revocably to the ocean waves or LETT as
a lost legacy to our transatlantic kins-
men: and The Echo is the echo still.

At THE VINEYARD.
According to TIE program carriages
conveyed the press gang at 10 o'clock to
the famous vineyard ana wine cellars OF
col. A. Cox, which indeed was one OF
the most enjoyable excursions OF the
season. The editors fingered long anu
lovingly around those large tanks OF
vine and offered sentiment after senu-
ment to the genial proprietor. Col: Cox
afterwards took most of them nome
with him 10 dinner, and entertained
them in his own peculiarly bosplCaoie
manner. A reporter says:
