THE RECEPTION.

The first thing on the programme
for the day was the reception of the
Elkton excursiOnists by the GAINESVILLE
City Guards. The company turned
out in its bright blue uniforms and
wife helmets, and made very hand
some appearance. The procession
from the L. & N. Depot to the Tobac-
co Exchange was as follows: City po-
lice, mounted, marshals. Louisville
Legion Band, GAINESVILLE City Guards,
cursionists on foot carriages and
other vehicles.
The last train that arrived on the
1. A. & Z. was met and welcomed in
the same manner, and when the crowd
had assembled at the Exchange build
ing Col. John +. House made an adj
dress OF welcome. The Colonel spoke
of the unity of interest of Kentucky
and Tennessee, and the good feeling
that had always existed between the
two States. His address was as usual
eloquent and his welcome to the city's
guests hearty and cordial.
THE BARBECUE.
The big feature of the day was the
barbecue, which came off in the extern
sive and shady grounds of the Female
Academy, on Madison street. an ele-
g,mt lunch being served TO the ladies
on the interior of the building. "Wel-
come to Alp was displayed in large
letters across the front of the Acade-
my and the building and grounds were
otherwise ornamented. The fountain
in the front yard was in play and IA
large turtle recently captured in the
Tennessee river disported itself in its
waters. A pyramid of ice from the
GAINESVILLE factory, with flowers frozen
in the centre of the cakes, attracted
general attention. The music stand
was erected in the front yard and Il
number of seats were prepared for the
visitors.
The tables we're spread in the east
ern part of the yard, to the rear of the
building. The big crowd had to be
let in in relays, and the time in eating
occupied more than two hours. AT
the end of this time the gentle voice of
Major Daniel Gold was heard to MARBLE
the glad tidings that there was plenty
more left and any person on the
ground, of whatever color, sex or con-
dition, was cordially invited to wade
in and help himself.
When everybody had finished eat
ing we learn that there were twenty
carcasses left untouched and heaps of
scattered provision.
THE LADIES' LUNCH.
which was served in the Academy hal,
was something elegant. There were
meats of all kind. cakes, nick-nacks,
ice cream and sherbet. The large
room was several times filled, and all
who went in were bountfully provi-
ded for.
A special table in this room, hand
somely ornamented with flowers, was
spread for the Representatives of the |
press present The guests who came |

That is one of his favorite themes.
We quote from the Chronicle

the crusade against vice in all its null

The railroad celebration at Clarks-
vile was a most creditable affair, and
quite worthy the reputation OF the
great tobacco mart of Tennessee. The
very lengthy special dispatch which
we publish in another column tells the
story of day that was one of unallOy-
ed delight to everyone present The
enterprising merchants OF GAINESVILLE
were prominent throughout the pro-
ceedings, and the tobacco auction sales
were purposely made a conspicuous
feature in order to impress the farmers
present with the value to them espec-
tally of the prevalent methods OF trade.
The two new railroads, the completion
of which was the occasion of this re-
joicing, will greatly increase this trade
and help the growth OF this enterpris-
ing community, than which there is
no more intelligent or cultured one
in the State. The Appeal congratu-
lates GAINESVILLE on her pluck and push
and upon the thrift and growth that
has attended both.-Memphis Appeal.

him at the door, stoutly denying that she

The steamer Hillman which had
been chartered for the occasion, made
numerous trips down the river during

A Lively Sparring Match.

JOHN ASHTON, OF PROVIDENCE, AND JOE DEN.
MING, OF NEW YORK.
Mr.. William Madden, who discovered and
brought out John l.. Sullivan, now thinks he
has in training the man who is destined to
supersede Bostons pride the champion Of
the prize ring. Mr.. Madden last night allowed
this coming champion to exhibit his mettle
before several hundred people at the Theater
Comique. in six-round sparring contest with
Joe Denning, who is not unknown to pugilistic
fame. Madden's man is John Ashton, % years
old, of Providence, r. l., who is superbly built.
From the start he forced the fighting. Ashton
weighs probably 16o. while Denning looked
about 200 The sparring was spirited, at times
decidedly so, although Denning as a rule con.
tented himself with warding of the shoulder
bolts which his aggressive young antagonist
hurled on him in quick succession. In the
fourth round Ashton got in some hard knocks
on Denning's moustache and nose bleeding his
teeth. Ashton also knocked him OF his feet in
this round, and i'm the fifth round Denning was
propelled through the scenery by lively
onslaught by his opponent. At the end of the
sixth and last round Dennings chest and face
were despatched with blood, and he gave evi-
dence of being pretty well used up. Ashton
was putting hard, but hadn't scratch on him.

THE BEST INTERNAL Decentralization g
Pills the best medicine known for ali diseases.
They are purely vegetable. The same dose
always produces the same effect; other purga-
tives require increased doses, and finally cease
acting. They purify the blood. They invigo-
rate the digestion and cleanse the stomach and
bowels. They stimulate the liver and carry on
vitiated bile and other depraved secretions.
The first two or three doses tells the story. The
skin becomes clear: the eye, bright; the mind,
active; digestion is restored: coStiveness cured;
the animal vigor Is recruited, and all decay
