TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL.
The Lowcst Rates Ever Made to an
Exposition In This Country.

The Exposition in commemoration of the
hundredth anniversary of the admission of
Tennessee into the Union is not a local af-
fair by any means. 1t far surpasses in ex.
tent of buildings, beauty of grounds, inter
esting exhibits and number of both foreign
and home attractions any exhibition ever
held in this country, with the possible ex.
az it is on the main line of the Louisville
Nashville Railroad it is in the direct line
of travel between the North and the South,
and can be visited en- route with loss of but
little time. The extremely low rates that
have been established make it cheaper to go
this great show, while its own attractions
will we'll repay a special visit: Write Mr..
c. P. Atmore, Gen'l Pass. Agent, Louis
vile, Ky, for matter concerning it.

BRITISH dogs will continue muzzled,
the board of agriculture having over
ruled the action of the London COM
mon council and other local authori-
ties in repeating the law. 1t justifies
its decision by statistics The number
of cases of rabies in 1889 was 312. In
that year muzzling order was passed,
and the cases diminished to 129 in 1890,
and to SO in 1892. Then the restraint
was removed, and in 1894 there were
24s cases, and in 1895 672 cases of rabies
and 20 deaths of human beings regis

THE manner in which they quench
thirst is Cuban art. Elevating the
clay bottle on his wrist until it is
slightly above the top of his head, the
native turns the water loose at dis
tance of 10 to 10 inches from his
mouth. The stream, about the size of
lead pencil, falls by pretty curve in
full view until it passes between the
lips. Thus the Cuban quenches his
thirst without spilling drop. The
accomplishment has its utility. AS the
water passes in this continuous pour
ing from the bottle to the mouth it is
before the eyes of the drinker, and
any foreign matter is seen.

work as sewing, typesetting, book

saving point is in breaking off at short

A well-known Swiss writer, who Wis.,

forced to remain here for some time on
account of illness, has joined the long
list of foreigners for whom America"
has been favorite subject for ''disser-
tation." In recent issue of the Neue

nous Swiss journals, under the head
line, ''What is American" he wrote:
America is a land compared with
which Europe is only a peninsula;
the United States forms country COM
pared with which the European king
doms are pygmies. America is the land
of unmeasured distances and dimen-
sions; the land of dollars and electric
ity; the land where the prairies are
more extensive, the rivers mightier,
the waterfalls deeper, the bridges
longer, the lightning expresses faster,
the catastrophes more terrible than in
any other country in the world. 1t is
the land where in a single raih Dad acci-
dent-and one occurs every few days
more people lose their lives than in
Europe in a whole year. 1t is the land
where the houses are higher, the Jail
birds more numerous, the rich richer,
the poor poorer, the millions greater,
the thieves more daring, the murder
ers more shameless, the educated few
er, the teeth more generally false, the
corsets narrower, the diseases more
deadly, corruption more general,

winters colder, the fires hotter,
the ice thicker, time more precious, the
men more nervous, than in any coun-
try in our pastoral Europe. 1t is, the
land where the old men are younger
and the young men older, the negroes
blacker, the whites more yellow, than
in any other place. 1t is the land Of
immeasurable natural wealth. In
short, it is the land of extraordinary
contrasts, of strange extremes, of nom
sensical pride, of reckless money-hunt-
ing, of senseless craze for gain-the
land of the colossal and the pyramidal

cans. How many have gone from our
peaceful home to the land of false hopes
to seek riches, fortune and better life,

who have not been called upon
for a settlement of their sub

we have endeavored to keep the
paper going without calling up
on delinquents, knowing that
money was difficult to get; but
now that times have improved
we feel that our patrons should
not only settle all arrearages,
but pay their subscription one

certainly offers au excellent location

advantage of a healthful climate, has

tai here would be great convenience
to all who are afflicted with disease,
and would also be the cause of retain
