Our Reputation.

Our Reputation.
That Nashville is a most desirable
place to ho'd big gatherings is proved
by the fact of the number that will
meet here this year. Other cities have
put in strong bids for these gather
ings. and they have been most 1atte~-
ing but these meetings havc been
awarded to Nashville The reGsoa
for this il because Nashville offer
the bes Inducements. This city ok
GELS NAM others n geograph csl To-
cation; the attractions in the way of
historical points of interest; the
great publishing concerns here are
other inducements, but added to these
is the reputation the people have
made for their most liberal hospital
ity.
The gatherings that vii assemb,a
here this year will be the guests Of
Nashville We do not entertain the
least doubt that the reputation this
city has attained will be maintained,
but we merely mention the fact here
that all may be on their guard We
do not expect to be awarded these
meetings every year, but we do de
sire that the delegates who attend
these meetings will go away with
such good impression that they will
long for an opportunity to come again.
On the sixth floor of one hundred
thousand dollar building in this city

been Disseminated against in life in
surance policies by some of the old
est companies in the world. The en-
tire proceedings were harmonious
and on a high order. The meeting
