The point Is that the Federal Government
has bought and set aside park Of 5,3O6
acres as a national park. 1t was 20 this
park that the excurSioniSts took an afternoon
drive. The Government has designated the
stations of the various brigades with iron
tablets stating the movements Of the troops
and the States have been invited 10 place
monuments on the battle ground in honor Of
the soliiery. 1t is stated that there are
about 800 State monuments on the grounds.

SAFE IN THE ROCK CITY.
Sunday morning the press pilgrims ar
rived in Nashville, 1.-The Rock City, as it
is called. 1t was bright and pleasant day
and gave the Carolinians favorable first
impression OF the city Nashville is decided
ly city Of hills and is all the more attrac-
tive as most of the promiuen, buildings are
on high SUBMITS, the Capitol building, Van

high hills of the Rock City. To get y1Vd
idea Of Nashville you can ride arou11 2,'

Glendale Park fo1 nickel and from the ter

lines, which, together with the belt lines,
givea splendid opportunity tor taking IN
the city.
NOT \ CYCLING CITY.
Bicycling ordinarily is a very good thing,
and there are few better and cheaper ways OF
seeing" city than with good ''bike, but
Nashville is not built Tor the cycllst. The
hills and inclines are so nUu.2 Gus that there
is no pleasure in riding bicycle, and for so
large city comparatively few wheels are to
be SEEN.
Nashville claims population ofl0O,00O,
and no doubt she has it, if Atlanta has So

President Aull arranged for the members
of the Press Association to attend the ser
vices at the First Presbyterian Church and at
Christ Episcopal Church. Both services
were well attended, and at the Episcopal
Church very fine music was neard.
THOSE PIoUs BARRIERS.
Although Nashville is reputed 10 be one
of the strongest denominational cities IN
the country, and it has great many strong
churches, it is most cosmopolitan city, per
mitt;ng great latitude in the observance Of
Sunday. While on the surface there ap-
pears to bea strict observance, almost any
thing that is wanted can be obtained, either
through regularly open places or by means

About the only gouge that was experienced
in Nashville was for shave on Sunday. II
appears that some time ago the "goody.
goody' BARRIERS petitioned the General AS
sembly to pass g law to prohibit Sunday
barbering. Now when person wants to get
shaved on Sunday he is run into some back
room, where there is half dozen BARRIERS at
work, and is charged twenty-five cents for
the shave, on the ground that the BARRIERS
have to run the risk Of being arrested for
violation of the law, the law which they
themselves had passed. fou can goright
across the street, and buy your cigars and
soda water at regular prices and the bar
rooms, are anxious enough TO sell you beer
at FIVE cents schooner, or any other drink
at the customary weekdays prices.
HOW TO VISIT NASHVILLE.
A few hints about the practical side Of q
trip to Nashville may not be amiss.
In the first place do not take any more
baggage than is absolutely necessary. 1t
will only be in the way. There IS no occa.
sion for style in Nashville. By all
means take satchel or telescope. If one
satchel won't do, take two and unless you
want to be worried about the hauling of a
trunk and the uncertainty Of getting it, aud
rechecking II, leave it at home. Ladies in
Nashville wear shirt waists and crash Of dark
skirts Just as they do in Columbia or Char
leston. In the next place always try to go
with some one else. This is not a case
where 1.-TWO is company and three crowd.
There are dozen and one things in which
it is more pleasant, more agreeable and GER
tainly more economical for a party Of two or
more.
a WORD AS TO ROOMS AND MEALS.
When you set to town there is no aeed
to rush 10 the most expensive hotels-you
can get as good accommodations as you are
accustomed TO at thousand places, more or
less. Get q room at some hotel or private
residence, near the street car line. \ good
room need not cost you more than 81 or s. g
night, if you are with friend or friends the
expense will be reduced, dividing the cost Of
the room to so cents orSl at most. Nash
villeis cheap place TO live. You can get a
cheap place to live. You can get a meal
and a very good one, too, for 20 cents. ANY
meal will cost you from 20 cents to 81, ac-
cording to the style you put or, and the ex-
cellence of the service. Here is where q
party does good again. If you go to the
Maxwell House, the Utopia or any other
ofthe larger restaurants or hotels, everything
is on the European plan. You order what
you want and pay for what you Get. Sup
pose there are four 81 breakfast, there is no
need in the world 20 order four steaks, Two
will be ample, the meal may be diversified
by ordering TWO omelettes. and say two
pieces OF pompano fish. The three dishes
will give each one a tirstclass meal at the
cost Of steak for one. In nine out Of ten
cases the joint order gives more variety at
less cost. No better meals need be wished
