GRANDMA NASHVILLE.
How She Celebrated Her One Hun.
dreth Birthday,

The opening of the Centennial
Exposition at Nashville Saturday
last was celebrated by one of the
most imposing street pageants ever
witnessed in the south. The fes-
Invites were ushered in by q salute
of one hundred guns fired from
Capitol hill at sunrise. The deco
ratIons of stores and private resi-
dences were profuse, and the prin-
cipal thoroughfares were spanned
by arches of evergreens. Flags
Heated in countless numbers from
public buildings, business houses,
and family residences, and the en-
tire city was decked out in holi-
day attire. The streets swarmed
with strangers and every hotel and
boarding house was crowded to
overflow. The centennial process
sion, which was one hour and a
half passing a given point, was
grand imilItary and civic display,
perhaps the most brilliant ever
witnessed in southern city. The
colOred benevolent societies and
military companies were among
the most creditable features. In
the procession was a company of
soldiers in the old continental uni
form, and battalion of veterans of
the Florida and Mexican wars,
with battle torn flags.
These were greeted with cheers
all along the line of march. The
procession halted in Capitol square
at noon where an address was de-
llvered by Gov. Marks, and an
elegant Grafton on "the pioneers of
Tennessee" by Hon. John NJ.
Bright. The prize centennial ode
was read, also an interesting sketch
of the history of Nashville from
the pen of Arson Nelson, Esq.
At night the Centennial Indus trial
was formally opened in
the new building constructed for
the purpose,

For five long years we have
been trying to inform the public
of the incidents and accidents
of this neighborhood, and SO
far have done so without commit
ting a serious blunder, save one.
This last, which we regret beyond
measure. exposed us to the satir-
ical assaults of everybody and
everybody's neighbors. The head
and fro~t of our offending was that
we reported prematurely the death
of Mrs. Rittenbury. an excellent
woman for whom we entertain the
highest respect, and whom we are
rejoiced to know is still alive. What
is more, we hope that many years of
health and happiness are in store
for her, and that she may be spared
to adorn in the future as she has
In the past, the holy sphere
allotted in this life to pure and vir
tuous women. The mistake itself
was far more painful to the writer
than the jeers of those who made it
the subject of jest and sarcasm.
We have had in our midst, this
week, Mr.. L. j. Rea and family, Of
Maury, visiting friends and rela-
tires. Mr.. Rea and wife were
raised on this part of Big creek, and
q visit from them makes bright the
faces of all they meet. They have
a host or friends here who are ever
ready TO welcome them back to the
placid waters OF their parental
stream and make them happy while |
hey stay. Mr.. Willie Ross, of Odd |
Fellows Hall, paid our village a fly
ng visit this week. He still wears
he genial smile which renders his
ace so attractive TO a host of
rieEds. Mr.. Mack Alexander, in
ompany with two of his daughters,
drs. Boatright and Mrs. Cook,
ave gone TO Texas to visit friends
nd relatives. He goes to see
rothers whom he has not seen for
number of years. They are to
leet him at Marshall, we think.
Fe hope their trip may be pleasant. !

Fearful Work of Destruction
at Macon, Miss.

Paint Rock, Ala, April 26.-
This place was partially blown
away last night between 8 and {
O'Clock, the storm approaching
from the west and travelling east
ward. The path of the storm was
about seventy five yards wide
sweeping everything before it, blow
ing down five dwelling houses in
this place and vicinity and killing
in Mr.. p. M. Edwards family three
of his children-two sons and one
daughter. The storm was accom-
panied by terrible thunder and
lightning. The dwellings des
troyed were occupied by families
from three to eleven in number,
and no one was seriously injured,
except in Edwards family.

heavy storm passed over Macon,
Miss, last night, blowing away
twenty-five houses, including the
Mobile & Ohio machine shops,
round house, depot, telegraph office
and Master Mechanics office. Six
teen cars were blown from the
track, seventeen persons killed and
twenty-five wounded. The loss of
property is estimated at not less
than 100000. Meridian was call

eight have gone from there TO at

Balls of fire were seen

earful. Through a beating rain
