OUR CORRESPONDENTS REUNION.
ON Saturday, September, 4, They VIII
See the Centennial City.


See the Centennial City.
All things come to those who wait.
Some of our corresT ondents had
grown somewhat impatient and
Uritle uneasy. for fear the HERALD'S
reunion feature would not material
ize this year. But the HERALD had
not forgotten them. While they
were wishing, we were planning,
and now the announcement comes.
1t seemed to be the general con-
seusus of opinion and the wish Of
all. that we should visit Nashville's
big show so, in obedience to their
wishes, we have selected the White
Centennial City as the meeting
place, and Saturday, September i,
as the day.
We will have two special coaches,
attached to the regular AccommO-
dation train which leaves Column
bia at $3.50 A. NJ. The train will
stop at all the regular stations,
and correspondents and their
friends can meet the train at
the station most convenient to them.
The special coaches will be put on
at Columbia. Persons getting on at
stations south of here will enter the
regular coaches, but will pay no
fare; at Columbia they will be eX-
pected to come to our special
coaches.
Returning, we will leave the
Nashville Union depot about II p. NJ.
We will announce the exact hour
in our next issue.
Each correspondent who has writ
ten-on an average-as often as
twice month, will be entitled to
two tickets; and-bear this in mind
no one will be admitted into the
coaches, without their tickets. Be
careful, therefore, not to lose or for
get your tickets.
In order to avoid all possible mis-
takes in post-offices or names, the
correspondents are all requested to
send at once to this office, their
names, their nom de plumes, and
their post Office addresses.
NECESSARY EXPENSES.
1t will not be obligatory upon any
to visit the Centennial grounds, but
it is supposed that nearly all will
want to spend the day at the Expo.
sition. To these the necessary eX.
penses will be only 60 cents each
To-wit, the fare from the depot tC
the grounds, will be cents, and
back 5 cents, and admission 80 cents
You can spent as much more az
you like, on side shows not worth
seeing. All that you will have time
to see, and all that is most worth
seeing, you will find in the public
buildings, and these are all free.
We would advise our friends tt
carry their lunches with them
enough both for dinner and supper
The restaurants on the grounds
charge unreasonably high for wha
they serve, and are provokingly
slow in serving it. You can have
