The Tennessee Centennial.
DEAR ROPESONIAN.

LEAN NOEt+ooNlAN.
AS I have just returned from the Tell
nessee Centennial, at Nashville, 1 think
it duty l owe the exhibition and the
public to say that, in My opinion, it is
the greatest exhibition III many respects
that the world has ever seen, after hav-
ing compared it with the exhibition at
Philadelphia, in 1875, but as my opinion
is of little value 1 will give you an au-
thority that is good. 1 saw gentleman
from New York who has attended every
exhibition of the kind in the world in
Guiding the first worlds fair in London,
and he said that this exhibit exceeds
them all i'll quality, considering the ex-
hibits attempted and the space employed.
| We'll, its large er3ough.
The ride to BelleMeade is beautiful and
| also the ride to the Hermitage, where the
| dust of the immortal Andrew Jackson
sleeps.
| And of course there is much to see of
interest at both places, Nashville is a
beautiful city, and the surrounding coun-
| try lovely Nothing can exceed the
kindness and the hospitality of the peo-
pie particularly that portion whom God
made after he had tried his apprentice
hand OH man-God's master pieces
! There are many good roads i'll this state,
but in going to Nashville would advise
YOU to take the Seaboard Air Line, fol
you will feel at home all the time you
are on their trains and after getting there
and your heart yearns towards home, yor
have only to enter their large car on the
ground; or go to their exhibit i'll the
Agriculture building, and you will agaii
be there. And by stopping at Bel
Buckle, about sixty miles from Nash
vile on the main line, you can see tn
Webbs school which only turns out schol
airs. but christian gentlemen. Educa
ton without religion is a curse to tn
world. Education with religion is on
, of the greatest blessings
Hurrah for the Centennial of Tennes

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment Hall S
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucuous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that ii
fails to cure. Send for list of Tetimo-
