whole assurances Of welcome coming

since 1t was announced that Heads Of
Houses will make a visit to the volun-

there's buoyant "Tennessee-I-Hear.
You-C alling-Me" spirit abroad.
Colonel Charles b. Norton, who has
helped organize many such excursions,
predicted few days ago that the West
and Middle Tennessee visit will in
many ways be the most pleasant that
Louisville Heads OF Houses have ever
made. Some of the veterans Of these
Kentucky Tennessee get-together tours
found 1t pretty hard to believe that
any visit could possibly be more pleas
ant than that Of the Louisville Heads
Of Houses to East Tennessee last
spring. The weather was ideal, the
Louisville party received receptions in
every town that warmed the cookies
of the travellers hearts. and evidences
Of growth and progress were so nu-
merous that the Louisville business
men and civic leaders were amazed.

dictions that their towns and cities are
going to be found "the best on earth, !"
or "the garden spot of the world" COM

vile Board of Trade to wonder IL 1t Is
possible they shall find place OF more
promise than East Tennessee, or more
hospitable than that section. But here

from Middle and West Tennessee:

the emptiest Jail; the biggest barns
and the loveliest jerseys; the strong
est banks with the stuffedest vaults,

Good Time Assured.
The Fayetteville Board of Trade,
whose rhythmic slogan is Fortune
Favors Fayetteville" writes through
its secretary: I'VE had large and
