AN 1NrERERrrNo MEETING.
The Plan Outlined by Which This Coun
ty Win be Represented at the
Worlds Fair.

Judge Tyler returned yesterday
from an interesting meeting of the
Worlds Fair commissioners at Nash
vile. The board will soon issue an
address to all the counties CT the
State, setting forth the conditions
upon which any county can be rep
resented in the Worlds Fair at Chi
cago 1t is thought that it will re-
quire a hundred thousand dollars to
have the entire State properly repre-
sented, but the bulk of this fund will
be under the control of the counties
making the subscriptions. There are
certain necessary expenses that must
be borne jointly by the counties par
ticipating in the exhibit; that is, by
the State at large. For instance a
house is to be erected which it is es-
timated will cost fifteen thousand
dollars and will cover the entire
space allotted to Tennessee. Other
general expenses will amount to per-
! haps ten thousand dollars or more.
, Each county before it can receive
ary space in the exhibit must con-
tribute its proper part of this general
expense, taking the assessed value OF
: property under the last comptroller's
: report as basis. The remainder of
= the fund contributed by any county
. will be controlled and expended by
agents appointed by the county act
= ing under the general supervision OF
: the State board of commissioners.

tax. II the general expenses
- amount to $4,000 dollars Mont
- gomery must pay one fiftieth of this
!, :, sum, cor five hundred dollars as hel

of the general expense will b

~ it is estimated that many conntie
~, will fail to respond it is providet
W that counties paying more thon thei
" part of the general expense shall re
ceive space accordingly. If Mont

:" pays to the general fund more tia
'o her fair proportion, taking the valu
" of property as a basis, she will re
ceive additional space above he
proper share.
