NASHVILLE, Aug. 18th, '7S.
EDITOR CITIZEN AS local poll
tics have subsidized and we are
not afraid to leave home and walk
the streets lest we be pulled limb
from limb by county candidates, q
word on other and more useful and
interesting subjects may not be
amiss. As TO the health of our city,
it never was at this eeason of the
year so free from sickness OF every
kind. The frightful ordeal of death
that our sister cities of the extreme
South are passing through has
aroused our police and sanitary Off
GERS to full sense of the response
bility resting on tnem, and Nash
vile was never so thoroughly clean
or free from disease as at the pres
ent time,
We have had our waterworks
Thoroughly oyerhauied and received
new boilers and engines for snpply
ing the CITY with water, and filters
through which it passes, assuring
US that we shall not only have pien-
ty of water, but shall have it of the
best possible quality.
7 he season has been a very pro-
pitious one in this and the adjoin-
ing counties. and aeyer have we had
more bountiful harvest of every
kind of crops, excepting that of
wheat, which was in most instances
light. The crop of corn is wonder
full and the fruit and vegetable crop
was unprecedented. ] am very glad
to say that there has been organ
lzed fruit and vegetable growers
association, which by its efforts has
succeeded in getting rapid and
cheap transportation for our pro-
ducts of that class.
There has been organized State
Fair Association, the object being
to hold annual fairs at our State
Capital. They haVe ppt the old
fair ground in first class condition,
and in a very few days all will be in
readiness for the grand reception"
The avenue leading to the grounds
has been regarded and made a
pleasant drive. A new bridge over
the stream tTaversing the grounds
makes things substantial at that
point. Every stable has been thor
oughly repaired and made comfort
able. The cattle shed has been rem
oEsted end made presentable so iai
as 1t is possible from the locality.
The pig and sheep pens, instead Of
being buried out of sight and out
of reach as they have formerly been,
have been removed to a pleasant
and convenient locality, and by
drant securing them pure water has
been provided especially for their
accommodation. The water pipes
all over the grounds have been refit-
ted and readjusted. The floral hall
has been repaired, new windows
have been put in, ard the hall newly
whiteyashed presents a lively and
pleasant appearance. New rooms
for the ladies with water and every.
convenience, leaves but little ut1- 4
done to insure the comfort and |
pleasure of exhibitors and visitors.
The premium list Is liberal and |
comprehensive, and everything in
dicates the largest and most sue
cessfui 1Ss!r ever held in the State.
The Secretary tells me that he is
in receipt of letters daily from the !
largest stock breeders in TIE South
and West, and shat the stock show
will be far superior i'll quality and
quantity to anything of the kind
ever held in the South.
The industrial department will
be fully represented by our mechan-
les, and the agricultural machinery
On exhibition here has never been
even approximated at any exhibit
lion of the kind in the Southwest.
We should feel glad to see such
evidences of success, and hope that
hey will be fully realized BY the
and practical men in
charge, and we hope to see an old
ashton reunion of the farmers of
Tennessee on the 10th of Sept. next.
Respectfully and truly, GILES.
