and admiration the bright-eyed and
beautiful ladies of Clarksville. To
the citizens of Clarksville we would
say in words which well up from
the depths of our heart Of hearts,
we thank you for the kind welcome
you extended US. We had heard of
you through your ably edited and
literally patronized papers, and now
you feel to us like twice made friends.
You have taken us to your homes,
your hearts, and your tiresides and
treated us with princely hospitality
whose magnificence would rival the
grandest days of SarIlanapalus.
Through your papers we had heard
of your splendid educational insti-
tutions, whose renown, together with
y
have nearly made Clarksville the
Athens of America. They have
told us of your tobacco market, sec
ond to none in this great and pros
porous country; through them we
were familiar with your plow and
wagon factories and other industries
and enterprises that make a city
happy and attractive.
