COL. AvERILL's EXHIBIT.

time representative exhibits is that of the
Georgia Railroad, which has been arranged
by Col. John H. Averill, as special commits
sioner. Col. Averill has done his work well,
and the display of the Georgia Railroad is
c%omplimented on all sides.
BELLE MEADE FARM.
The hurried trip to Belle Meade
stock farm was one of the pleasant incidents
of the trip. Gen. Jackson, a typical South
ernor, owns a blue grass farm 5000 acres
on which he raises horses, cattle, vegetables
and with all was a handsome home. Gen.
Jackson is a great admirer of Calhoun and
South Carolina, and took special pleasure in
entertaining the Carolinians, Gen. Jackson
is the over of "Iroquois," Duke Blackburn
and other celebrated horses. He has about
200 head of thoroughbred and graded cattle,
splendid dairy, and a game preserve stocked
with deer and game.

NASHVILLE NOTES.
One of the new. presses for putting up
round bales of cotton is on exhibition on the
grounds.
The Exposition management has done a
popular thing by making the price of admis-
sion to the grounds after 6 o'clock rs cents
The "brokers' about the city use pianos
to attract crowds.
To do as the Romans do in Rome you will
have to run your time-piece back an hour in
Nashville. The signs on the Exposition
grounds read: "Keep on the walk" instead
of the old time keep off the grass"
Mr.. Larry W. Boyd, of Laurens, and Mr..
Foster Hamilton, Of Columbia, are doing well
in Nashville. A great deal of the goods sold
within q radius of thirty or forty miles of
Nashville are sold out on wagons, thanks to
the fine roads.
The Tennessee State Capitol is not as new
as that in Columbia and the Assembly halls
look like Cooper and Taylor's Hall.
The railroads have done much to make the
Nashville Exposition the success that it is,
yet they say Cd the stage that love is the
only thing the Louisville and Nashville Road
does not control about Nashville.
There were several exceedingly pretty
young ladies with the Carolina Press Associ-
alton.
The Confederate Veterans will find o warm
reception in Nashville.
Such delightful trips as the one to Nash
vile make the members anxious TO want an
other trip next season, especially with Pres
ident Anil IN arranpe the details.
