The County Seat of Nash
County and a Most Pros
porous and Fast
Growing Town.
SURROUNDED BY FINEST TOBACCO LAND
Connected by Rail With North, South, East
and West,

and West,
The quaint old town Of Nashville was
incorporated in 1869, and has the honor
Of being the birth place of many of
North Cardinals famous men, and has
record hard to surpass, in every case
when it was necessary to lend her stur-
dy sons to cause that would benefit
the Southland. Her civil war record
cannot be beaten.
When it became necessary to shoulder
the shot gun in behalf of their rights
the citizens of Nashville and Nash coun-
ty that were large enough to carry one,
went to the front and but few returned
They were fighting stock, and their
descendants have proven themselves Of
the same character. When the tight for
white supremacy was begun last year
Nashville came to the front again, and
the hard working Democrats of that inn
mediate section set an example for the
whole State to follow. Nashville is
growing town of some twelve hundred
souls.
Surrounded by unequalled farm lands,
especially for the production of the Inn
est grade Of tobacco Among its busl-
ness houses it numbers some fifteen line
tobacco warehouses.
Every kind of business is represented
in this typical North Carolina town, and
its citizens are as cordial as any in the
South Nashville, indeed, is a fine place
for a home. The finest lands may be
had at reasonable prices. The location
is all that could be asked. Healthy!
Well, yes, the mortality statistics show
but one death in the last nine months,
and the deceased was 50 at time of
death. Nashville has the distinction of
being the birth place of the father and
grandfather Of North Cardinals fine
orator, writer and lecturer, Mr.. Henry
Blount, who for many years ably edited
the Wilson Mirror. His beautiful writ
ings of North Carolina and the rural
home have been read and admired, and
will not be forgotten by many who have
have had the pleasure and privilege Of
reading his beautiful word paintings.

sometimes single pieces, but more oc-
GiOnally consist of pure iron, alloyed
with nickel The number of meteoric
bodies that have fallen and are pre-
served in cabinets is quite consider
able in this country. especially in Har-
ward, Yale and Amhurst colleges. The
finest collection in the world is at vi
emma, in Austria, and next to II in
Paris and London.
The number of shooting stars, which,
as mentioned before are distinguished
from meteorites by their smaller size,
and, perhaps by the fact that the aero
lite is a solid mass and the shooting
star a little cloud of dust and gas, is
extremely great. On the average a
person may see from five to eight every
hour, so that II is no exaggeration to
aver that the number of them which
come in contact with the atmosphere
Of the earth every day and are large
Ienough to be seen with the naked eye
amounts to millions. The number Of
shooting stars to be seen in the morn
ing hours Of the night exceeds by a
considerable quantity that seen in the
evening, for reasons which will be-
come quite plain and obvious when we
take into account that in the morn
ing we are. as to the orbital motion OF
the earth, in front of the earth, where
as in the evening we are in the rear.
Consequently, while in the evening we
see such meteOrs only as overtake us
In the morning we see all that we meet
and overtake. The person that is ex-
posed to a shower of rain, say, on the
cOwcatcher OF a locomotive In motion,
will get twice as wet as the one stand
ing on the platform Of the rear car.
While generally the shooting stars
appear here and there at intervals OF
several minutes, moving in random di-
rections there are times when they ap-
pear in large showers by thousands
nay. hundreds of thousands-for a few
hours and move from a fixed point in

South Of Beta Andromedae lies the

the Fishes, which, at present, in conse-

its containing the Vernal Equinox, the

constellation consists of Two Fishes

inconspicuous. while the southernmost

small stars lying below Alpha and

JAl[US>FACED MKINLEY
Mckinley SAYS:

Mckinley says:
1--WE are on a gold basis and we
mean to stay there"
Mckinley used to stand up III Con
gress and denounce the gold standard
in measured terms. He over and
over again insisted that it would ruin
the country. In the campaign of 60
he insisted that he was a good b'met-
alist and was an ardent advocate Of
free coinage by international agree
ment."
The majority of Republicans who
voted ior Mckinley wanted silver and
wanted the Republican parry to have
the honor of Iedeemipg the country.
Believing Mckinley to be a good
silver nan they voted for aim.
He now openly declares for i gold
standard and thus admits thai he.was
lying when he said he wa for silver
and was merely doing 1t TO catch
votes. Numerous Nevada kepuDll-
cans who voted for Mckinley in 90
said whenever they were thoroughly
convinced that TIE party was for the
gold standard they would cease to
belong TO it.
Now on the heels of NcKinley's
utteranCe the nOunCeme is made
that Gage, Secretary of the Treasury,
will in a few days publish a Treasury
circuit declaring for the gold star
dard.
Do the Silver men in the Republi-
can party want any further proof of
the real attitude of the party on the
money question?
