a great man as the world measures
greatness, for he made no attempt to
do great things, but in his devotion TO
duty and in his strong adherence to
true convictions made him in the true

that q good man is the truly great

said that "The end is near it's all

No knight ever entered the gates Of

life that is worthy OF emulation. Tears
OF sorrow have been shed over his cof-

friendship and the little sprig of myr-
tie emblematic of knightly devotion.
The press OF the state has lost a valu-
able member and Pythianism a true
exponent OF its principles, but his wife

When person begins TO grow thin
there is something WRONG. The waste
is greater than the supply and it is
only question OF time when the end
must come.
In nine cases out OF ten the trouble
is with the digestive organs. If you
can restore them to healthy condi-
ton you will stop the waste, put on
new flesh and cause them to feel bet
ter in every way. The food they eat
will be digested and appropriated to
the needs of the system, and normal
appetite will appear.
Consumption frequently follows q
wasting of bodily tissue because nearly
all consumptives have Indigestion.

CENTENNIAL NOTES.

All buildings facing on the plaza OF
the Tennessee centennial exposition
will be supplied with wide verandas,
which will serve as grand stand. This
plaza will be centre of interest
throughout the 100 days Of the fair.
Tennessee is the producer OF some OF
the finest race horses and thorough
bred cattle in the world, and it is on
this plaza that hundreds OF them will
be paraded at intervals. 1t is also in
tended to keep troops encamped on
the grounds constantly, and these will
come there for dress parade every al
ternoon. Then on certain days there
will be bicycle races on the regula'
ton track between the scorchers Of
the world.
The city Of Nash Vile on Saturday en-
tertained the Chicago Southern States
Association and the First regiment II
linois troops with barbecue at Belle
Meade and in return the soldiers gave
battle drill on the centennial grounds
and a grand concert at the tabernacle
at night. The visitors numbered near
ly 1000, half Of them being wealthy
Chicago merchants, accompanied by
Governor Altgeld and staff, Mayor
Swift, of Chicago, United States Sena-
tor Shelby M. Cullom and other dis
tingaished men.
There will be no delay about the
opening OF the Tennessee centennial
exposition, and when it opens, Sep.
tember l, 1896, the management will
be ready for full criticism. All build
ings where exhibits are to be placed
must be finished by August l, 1896.
One month will then be allowed ex-
hibitors in which to place their dis.
plays, and il they are not ready by
September l they will be left out.
These decisions have, been made, and
they will be enforced.
The county centennial commission
ers should act and act promptly. But
if they are slow the people Of the coun-
ty should go ahead with the work and
push it along through the winter.
What is to be done? Gather and en-.
gage the best farm products OF the
past season, samples of the minerals
OF the county and every other thing
that is worth showing, and raise fund
by private subscription or county ap-
propriatic n, or both, TO place in The
hands OF some worthy person TO de-
fray expenses, and send him to the ex.
position next summer to place the ex'
hibit in place IN person. Gsllatin and
Sumner county have shown com
mendsble example on this point. The
county court showed 8 most favorable
