TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL.
Preparations for Gathering a SPLEEN
did Foreign Display.

Activity is still marked in Centennial
circles. Mr.. A. Macchi, who was select
ed as Foreign Commissioner, has agreed
with the Director General as to the
course to be pursued. Mr.. Macchi has
been in the exposition business pro-
REASONABLY for seventeen years, and has
taken part in thirty-three shows of this
character. He has a vast experience
in the gathering of exhibits for great
expositions, He is very much delighted
with the grounds and the forward con-
dition of the buildings. In all his ex-
perience he has never seen the work of
an exposition 80 far advanced ten
months before the opening. He likes
the laying out of the grounds and the
disposition of the buildings. The build
ings are so near that it will be easy
to get from one to the other without ex-
posure to heat or rain, and without
tiresome journey.

Have you never felt the fever of the
twirling. whirling wheel,
OF the guiding and resisting of the shin
ing cranks of steel?
Never felt your senses reel
In the glamour and the gladness of the
misty morning sky,
AS the white road rushes toward you, as
the dew-bathed banks slip by,
And the larks are soaring high?
Never known the boundless buoyance of
the billowy, breezy hills,
OF the pine scents all around you, and the
running, ripping rills,
Chasing memory of life's ills;
Dashing, flashing through .he sunshine,
by the windy void and plain,
The distant blue heights Turing. onward.

OF the whirling wheels refrain?
Fled from prison, like a prisoner sped the
turning, spurning wheel,
Changed the city's stir and struggling.
jar and vexing, none can heal,
For the peace the fields reveal
And with spirits separate. straining above
the towns low reach,
Found a tender satisfaction, which the
steadfast submits teach
In their silence-fullest speech?
Never known the wistful. nd'ring back,
in pleasureable pain?
Net the kline from milking sauntering to
pastures sweet again,
Struggling up the wide-marged
lane?
You have never felt the gladness nor the
glory of the dream
That exalts as tired eyes linger still on
sunset. mead and stream?
Haste, then! Take this bliss SUI

Mrs. Lizzie Ramsey Jarnagin, of Rog-
ersville, writes to Mrs Kirkman, on be-
half of the Hawkins County Women
Commissioners, that the women of that
county are thoroughly interested in the
work of the Woman's Department, and
have intended since the incipiency of
the Exposition to have their historic old
county represented there by an exhibit.
They have already nice sum on hand
for the purpose, and have on foot plans
that will still further increase il.

DOLLARS
land
SENSE.

There are merchants that have both.
They use their dollars, they use their
sense In an everlasting search for good
goods, and low prices.
1t is to these Merchants this mes
sage is addressed.
There is Hat House in Nashville
selling goods at "cut prices''-selling
hats cheaper than any merchant can
buy them in New York, Cincinnati or
Chicago.
How can they afford it! There is a
reason of course. 1t is this: they have
an immense retail trade which pays all
expenses and makes them a living.
The ten per cent. profit they make at
wholesale is all clear profit.
If you have the idea that Louis
vile house can buy cheaper than a
Nashville house because they buy a
hundred thousand year more, then
you must admit that a st. Louis house
buying two hundred thousand more
than the Louisville house would get
them still cheaper; but there is house
in Chicago that buys half million
more than any st. Louis house, if your
idea was correct they could run all the
other hat houses out of business, but
such is not the case the Manufacturers
make no difference in the prices to
jobbers in the different cities.
Send this Nashville house an order
and if the goods are not twenty per
cent. cheaper than you ever bought
then, return them at their their ex-
pense. Who are they? Where are
they?

The American Cereal Company, of
Chicago, ILL.,, write that they have in
mind to make large exhibit at the
Centennial, provided they can get con-
siderable space for the booth they now
have on hand. This company had a
magnificent exhibit at Atlanta, and
their idea is to make that at Nashville
still larger, their aim being to create a
demand for their cereals here, making
an educational feature of the exhibit,
and demonstrating how cereals should
be properly cooked. They manufacture
the most complete line of cereals made
in the world by any one, and will show
something like 1875 different products
made from cereals.

Director General Lewis had thought
of Offering one-third Of the Commerce
Building for the foreign exhibits, but,
as a result of the conference yesterday,
it has been decided that the Commerce
Building is hardly big enough to accom-
modate American exhibits, to judge by
the way applications are pouring in.
1t was therefore determined to erect
special building for the foreign section,
which will be styled the Palace of All
Nations, and in this building will be
placed all exhibits from Europe, Asia,
Australia and the South American Re-
publics. The size of the building will
be determined by the end of the year,
according to the number of applications
received. This new building will put
no strain on Exposition finances, as
Mr.. Macchi proposes to charge for space
in it, so as to make the building pay for
itself and have surplus besides. This
idea is a very happy one, and it may be
safely put down that the Palace Of All
Nations will be success. Mr.. Macchi
was awarded by President Crespo, of
Venezuela, the decoration of knight
| Commander of the Order of the Liber-
ator of Venezuela, in recognition Of his
services at the Atlanta Exposition.

THE MAN JESUS.

Another Christmas has arrived. We agai II
celebrate the birth of the Man who bore the
message from Heaven of "Peace on Earth;
Good Will to Men," After two thousand years,
the "Man Jesus" is more generally remember
ed than any man alive, or who has lived i'll all
the worlds history, and His birthday is cele-
brated in every country and in every cline un-
der the sun, and by people of all races and
every condition.
The human race has given us great warriors,
great statesmen, here and there; has founded
and estabis ed religions that grew and EN-
braced millions of adherents; but one and all
are fading away, and surely disappearing to
the wonderful and potent touch of the "Man
Jesus" who lived an obscure life and died an
gnominious death
Nobody cares for Alexander the Great, the
Caesars of Rome, or Napoleon. America has
almost forgotten the birthdays of Washington
and Lincoln. W. seldom hear Of Gladstone or
Bismarck, and Moses only lives because he WIS
the predecessor of the "Man Jesus" Moses
gave the laws that have found place OIL the
statute-books of all civilized nations. Jesus
gave the world religion and code of morals
that finds adherents in all parts of the globe.
The one breathed dead form, and the other
living reality. The one became the progenitor
of governments that live only through force,
and the other is the progenitor OF new and
better life in the individual, which lives in the
sunlight of love. Jesus is the lofty ideal for
man, of all time-an isolated figure, without
even the nearest approach
How mean, compared with Jesus, are the
influences of Abraham, Moses or Solomon,
How contemplate Socrates, Budha or Mahomet.
AS yet, no man is more than an imitator.
No man has ever become so poor as the lowly
Nazarene, for humanity's sake. Poorer, He,
than the fowls of the air, or foxes of the EARTH
No man so gifted as He, for He spake as never
man spake. No man SO loving; no man SO

Government paper money is the mighty en-

KIND WORDS WHICH ARE HIGHLY APPRECIATED

We do not feel that any other
candidate suggested from any palt of the state
hls either superior claims or qualifications for
the position of state printer than the editor of
the AGITATOR. He has been with the move
ment from its inception, and is more nearly in
touch with the great body. of Populsts of the
state than any candidate mentioned. In ad-
dition to his political qualifications, he is a
practical printer who understands all the de-
tails of the business, and entirely competent to
discharge the duties of the position in a salts
factory manner. There are contingencies
which are likely to arise which would make
Mr.. Champe strong candidate in case he sees
fit to place himself by the wayside. He has
friends who have Influences in the councils Of
the party and who would be sincerely inter
ested in his success, and do all possible to pro-
mote it. The Journal knows of no better man
for state printer than the editor of the AGITA-
TOR.-Garnett Journal.

By last weeks Garnett AGITATOR the editor,

for state printer. Mr. Champe is rather late
qetting into the fray, bit the old saying "best

of this paper is a candidate and has been work
ing on that line since Nov. sd, we wish to say
in fairness to Mr.. Champe, that he is one of
the worthy reform editors of Kansas; is
practical printer-one of the necessary require
ments-and should he be elected will be true
servant of the people. To us it seems strange
that some candidates--nen who don't know the

contest. 1t would be burning shame not to
select a practical printer for the place. Pleas

THREE of the craft in the eastern part of the

In our reckless, headlong chase.
