Although Nashville is rcputcd to be
one Of the strongest denominational
cities in the country, and it has Il great
many strong churches, it is II most
cosmopoli itan city, permitting great
latitude in the observance of Sunday.
While on the surface there appears to
be strict observance, almost anything

HOW TO VISIT NASHvILLE.
A few hints about the practical side
Of trip to Nashville may not he Il
miss.
In the first place do not take any
moro baggage than is absolutely nee
cssary. 1t will only be in the way
There is no occasion for style in Nash-
vile. BY all means take u satchcl or
telescope. If one saLchcl won't do,
take two, and unless you want to be
worried about the hauling Of II trunk
and the uncctainty Of getting it, and
rcch' cking it., leave it at home. Ladies'
in Nashville wear shirt waists Ind
crash or dark skirts, just as they do IN
Columbia or Charleston. In the next
place always try to go with some one
else. This is not q case where "twO is
company and three Il crowd" There
are dozen and one things in which it
Is more pleasant, more agreeable and
certainly more economical for asparty
Of two or more.
WORD AS TO ROOMS AND MEALS.
When you get to town there is no
need to rush to the most expensive hU-
tclS-you can get as good Accommodations
as you are accustomed to at u thousand
places, more or less. Get u room at
some hotel or private residence, near
the street car line. A good room need
not cost you moro than 81 or 81 Il night,
if you arc with II friend on friends the
expense will be reduced, dividing the
cost of the room to so cents or 81 at
most. Nashville is Il cheap place to
live. You can get Il meal, and very
cook one, too, for 20 cents. Any meal
will cost you from 20 cents to 81, aG-
cording to the style you put on, and the
excellence Of the service. Here is
where party does good again. II you
go to the Maxwell House, the Utopia
or any either of the larger restaurants
or hotels, everything is on the Euro.
pean plan. You order what You want
and pay for what you get. Suppose
there arc four at breakfast, there is no
need in the world to order four steaks,
two will be ample, the meal may be
diversified 10y ordering two omclcttcs,
and say two pieces OF pompano fish.

for one. In nine out of ten cases the
joint order gives moro variety at less
cost. No better meals need be wished
than those served al any OF The good
hotels or restaurants. The service is
fine, and the steak something to be
remembered. With the joint orders
meals will average so or 60 cents.
TIE CHEAP RESTAURANTS.
But the 2O-ccnt meals are very good,
and thousands patroniZc these rcstau-
rants. For instance, on one day they
will advertise this bill Of fare, all for
20 cents; Fish, rice, chicken, potato,
cabbage, bread, ice tea and pic. In al
most every part of the city these 20
cent restaurants arc to be found, and
they arc entirely respectable and
serve very good meals: certainly worth
the price asked. On the eating qucs-
LiOn there need be no fear of boing
gougcd, the competition is far too sharp
At the Exposition grounds Gcrst runs
several cafes. At the Vienna rcstau-
rant good square meal can be had for
30 cents. Here is Il sample menu:
Cream Of chicken, fried black bass,
prime roast beef, baked ham with
champagne sauoc, mashed potatoes.
new peas, bread pudding. land they
give you what is on the bill. Gcrst
has other restaurants where you can
order what you want, and in the wo.
mans building there is splendid cafe.
So it will be seen that ono can cat
cheap enough or us cxpcnsivcly as dc,
sired while on the Exposition grounds
The service, the food and the prices on
the grounds are vastly better than they
were at the Atlanta Exposition. II
you want to round of the day with q
real feast take table d'hOtc dinner at
the Maxwell for one dollar.
HOW TO GET TO THE EXPOSITION.
The best and quickest way to the Ex-
position grounds is by way Of the spc,
cial trains over the Nashville. Chatta-
