Nashville Exposition Opened with I'm
posing Ceremonies.
Though a rain storm had dis6gured
and bedraggled the ornate decorations
with which the city of Nashville. Tenn,
had been adorned, though flags and
bunting had lost their color, and
though rain at intervals fell all during
Monday morning, forcing the post
ponement of the grand parde, thous-
ands of people from all portions of that
State held their places on the line OF
march waiting for the procession.
Though set for 6>o'clock, it was IL be-
fore it moved.
When started the immense process
sion, with the United States Marine
Band in the lead, took two hours to
pass. In the first division came the
United States infantry and cavalry,
whose soldierly bearing was greatly
admired and applauded. Then came
the State National Guard, State and
city officials, old Confederate veterans
and the many civic associations. II
was a popular parade, all avocations
being represented, and the colored d.
vision was particularly noteworthy for
its magnitude and demeanor. About
2 o'clock the head of the procession
reached Centennial Park and the exer-
cises at the park we're begun. Presi-
dent J. w. Thomas proclaimed the
opening Of the centennial, and o
beautiful flag, the stars and stripes,
was hoisted to the top of 800 foot
fiagpole. Because of the delay of the
procession the exercises in which the
thousands of school children partici-
pated were held in the morning and
before the procession reached the
grounds. After the proclamation
by President Thomas and the flag
raising, the anniversary exercises
were held in the auditorium, opening
with prayer by Rev. ID G. Kelley.
Then came the singing of america"
by the childrep's chorus. Hon. y. NJ.
Dickinson, assistant attorney general
of the United States, delivered the
address of the day.
After these exercises there we're ex-
ercises held in the woman's building,
which was officially turned over to the
woman's board and then followed open
air concerts by the various bands.
Monday night there was grand dis
play of fire works and concert by the
Marine Band at the park attended by
large crowds.
Gov. Turney was not able to be pres
ent because of illness. The visiting
newspaper correspondents were given a
reception in the afternoon by Van Leer
Kirkman. vice-president of the centen-
NAL exposition, and Mrs. Kirkman,
president Of the woman's board.

Glodness Comes

With a better understanding Of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts--pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by ell
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating tho
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you prr-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but Tin need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general Satisfaction

pubourdieu Bids Adieu.

After most pleasant stop of three
weeks in that port, the French man-of-
war Dubourdieu bid adieu to New Or
leans Thursday afternoon about 4
o'clock, and weighing her ponderous
anchor she turned her prov down the
river and proceeded on her way to the
galf. AS the large frigate left her an
chorage off the head of Canal street
the steam craft in the river gracefully
saluted the foreign vessel with their
whistles and bid her a noisy good-by.
As jackson Barracks was passed sa-
lutes were also exchanged, and the
guns of the man-of-war were then put
in shape for the long cruise at sea.
The Dubourdieu, is bound for the
Indies on her regular summer cruise,
he being the a agsliip of the North
Atlantic squadron. During the stay
of the ship in port her officers have
been the recipients of. many social
courtesies from the large French pop
ulation of New Orleans, and their de-
parture was much regretted by the
many friends who have formed their
acquaintance.
