to arrange for a reception ofthe Kan

that Memphis would be particularly

THURSDAY, October 4th, has been
designated as Tennessee day at the
Louisville Exposition. Governor Bate
and staff, members Of the General
Assembly, and Of Congress, members
Of the House and representative citi-

1t would be well for as many as can
conveniently to attend, not only to see
what Tennessee has on exhibition and
to stimulate a prop,r feeling Of State
pride, but to SEQ what the people Of
other States and parts Of the world
are doing. The Nashville World
says: 1T is matter Of pride to all
citizens Of the State that Tennessee's
display is one Of the grandest in the
Exposition, and no Tennesseean has
cause to blush for it and certainly has
cause to rejoice that it has been and is
now in good hands, both as to general
supervision by Commissioner Nc
Whittier and local control by Colonel
0. e. Merrill and his accomplished
lady,"

to the Cape to work because he con
