facturers are moving in the work 0
getting up fine manufacturing ex
hibits from these points.
The Taeley & Meischer Nursery
Co., of Winchester, Tennessee, ha

Commission for space to exhibit theil
nursery products at st. Louis.

The GAINESVILLE Board of Trade have
endorsed the work of the State Com
mission and it's Secretary, and pledged
Clarksville to make the finest tobacco
exhibit she has ever made. Those
who remember the Tennessee Centen-
NAL Exposition, will recall the fact
that their display there was one of
the best ever made at any Exposition
in the United States. Capt. j. G.
Hendricks, of Clarksville, who made
that exhibit will have charge of the
work preparing and installing the to-
bacco exhibit at St. Louis, and that
means that Tennessee will have the
best tobacco exhibit that will be
found at st. Louis.
Tennessee is going to have fine
at St. Louis. That. is Ger
tainty. Thousands of Tennesseans
will visit the Exposition, but they
will every one feel Inundated, and it
will be humiliating to the pride of
every Tennessean unless we have a
state building. Every other state
and territory, and foreign countries,
will have state building, where their
citizens and their visitors will congre-
gate, and Tennesseans will be scatter
ed everywhere, homeless and humili-
ated, unless we have state building.
Tennessee should have stayed away
from the Exposition as she has usually
done, unless she can acquit herself
with credit and uphold her proud
before the world. Another
thing should be borne in mind, the
Hermitage, with the Jackson relics,
will draw more attention to the Ten
nessee state building than any other
state building on the ground will re-
ceive. Thousands from other states
will flock to see what kind of home
the Hero of New Orleans had in Ten
nessee, and thousands more will want
to see those historic relics of "Old
Nothing Tennessee can
show at St. Louis will create more
talk about Tennessee and excite more
and curiosity among the mil
lions in our state building at St.
Louis, and the exhibits therein of the
Jackson relics. The men of Tennessee
should 90 to work and raise money to
erect this building. The state made
no appropriation for this purpose, and
it must be done by private subscrip-
ton. The women and the children of
will go to work and raise
the money rather than see the state
as she would be without a
state building at the Worlds Fair.
1t is high time for steps to be taken
to raise the money for the state build
ing. Let every Tennessean resolve to
help the movement and it will sue
coed.
No such thing as summer CON-
plaint" where DR.. Fowler's Extract of
Wild Strawberry is kept handy. Ma
