I took three bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, began to improve at ouce, XjaL and gradually increased my weight from one hundred and twenty-fire to two hundred-pounds. Since then, I and ray family have used this medicine when needed, and we are all in the best of health, a fact which we attribute to Ayer's Sarsapariila.

The word consumption means wasting away, and dyspeptics often waste away as badly as consumptives. The reason people waste away is because either they don't get enough to eat, or they don't digest what they do eat | If the latter is ycur trouble, take ' Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will wKtr foelp you to digest your food and | stop your loss of flesh. Shaker Digestive Cordial is n ade from heibs, baiks and the juices of fruit, by the well known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. It possesses great tonic and digestive powers. Shaker Digestive Cordial Las cured many supposed consumptives (who were really dyspeptics), by simply helping their stomachs to digest their food, thus giving them nourishment and new strength.

It has also been approved by the authorities of the state of Tennessee, the legislature having appropriated $59,000 in order that the history, the products and the resources of the state might be properly presented. The county of Davidson aud city of Nashville, realizing the honor and advantage of having, this grand centennial jubilee within their borders, have donated $150,000; and other cities, connties and states, corporations, hrins and 10,000 individuals have augmented these appropriati >us aud donations until ? graud tocai of $1,000,000 has been ex pended in preparing Tor tms exposition, i "Men in all ages have celebrated ! great events by holidays, triumphal processions, grand festivals and towering monuments, and as Tennessee w&3 j TEE WOMAN'S the first state admitted into the Union ! formed from territory ceded to the gen- j I eral government, it is appropriate that I we celebrate our centennial anniversary j by having a great exposition, show ng , i the world that we have kept pace with j cur sister states and other nations in I the progress of the age?in all the tri ttmphs and glories of civilization.

' T?mohm?'< Hlrthdaf. The inspiration of Tennessee's great exposition, now formally opened to the public with appropriate ceremonies, is embodied in the speech of President Thomas above quoted. It has been the custom of kings and emperors to com memorate their achievements 07 massive piles of granite or polished marble shaft; Byron says "old Oheops built a pyramid to keep his mem'ry whole and mammy hid" It is fitting that a great comi monwealth should celebrate its first i birthday by an exhibit of its material resources so displayed as to reveal ths culture that is reached only in the highest civilization. The Tennessee Centennial exposition has been fortunate in its selection of the designs and names of many of its buildings. It vras a subject of unfavor W. THOMAS. able comment that Atlanta copied Chicago so closely in the names of her buildings. Nashville has been more original. Reproductions of the Parthenon, the Erechtheon, the Tower of Babel, the Rialto, and Cheops pyramid give a hint of the classic taste that has pre- ailed in providing buildings for an exposition of material things. K Now that the gates hare been thrown open to the world, and the great enterprise anspicionsly launched, people are beginning to ask themselves two leading questions: (1) What is there to see? (3) What does it cost? To which the faithful chronicler must make answer: Almost everything; almost anything. You can see all you have eyes and time to see; it will cost you anything you please. Mr. Charles E. Harman of Atlanta, general passenger ageut of the Western and Atlantic railroad, witnessed the opening ceremonies. Mr. Harmau was a director in the Cotton States and International expostion at Atlanta, and therefore viewed the Tennessee Centennial bnildiugs and grounds, in oomparisou with the buildiugs aud grounds of the exposition at Atlanta. He admits the grounds and buildings are finer than the grouuds and buildings at Atlanta, but olaims the general picturesqe effect of the Atlanta grouuds was greater than the | I BUILDING. ^ effect at Nashville. The buildings are all coverod with white staff and are architecturally beautiful. He says the Parthenon is the most beautiful building he has ever seen in the United States, with the exception of the new Library building at Washington, D. 0. Grounds and Buildings. Before beginning a tour of the buildings a glance at the whole cannot but 1>e interesting. The grounds selected oonsist of 200 acres lyiug in the westeru portion of the city and were formerly known as West Side park. They can be reached by three lines of electric and one of steam cars. By such means the trip to the fair can be made from the hotels and business portions of the city in 8 minutes, or the distance may be covered on foot, through the residential part of the city in 20 minutes. The grounds have been so improved as to make them most attractive and suitable for exposition purposes. The artificial lakes, arbors aud pavilions, to* gether with the groupiug of the buildings, present an aspect that is wonderfully pieasing. When the millions of plants and flowers shall lend their beauty and fragrance to tne scene it ; will be truly enchanting, j The main buildings of the exposition j If the Baby is Cutting Teeth.

I and the White City of Chicago, that? has lingered so long in the memory? with the gorgeousness of a dream, will I have a rival in another White City that 1 has risen on the banks of the Camber* 1 land to clarm for a brief season ths vision of hundreds of thousands. Exhibit of Fine Arts* ^ The largest and mo3t elaborate building is the Parthenon. It is the ceuterpiece of the exposition aud is an exact reproduction of the Parthenon at Athens. The naves are in the shape of , the great Greek crosses, forming a square gallery at either end and two apartments, or alcoves, in the center.* At these ends broad doors open outupG^ tne aouoie coiumnoa porticoes. I are no windows in the building. T-' 4 light furnished com^s from the r: 3 1 which is, in fact, one long window I skylight, of itself. 2 4 This bnilding is the only nenc 9 tructed with staff. It is .bout of Wickjj and is entirely fireproof, as it is the re-" pository of priceless treasures. Directly in wcaircf this bnilding stands the collossal figure of Pallas Athene, by ilias iEuid Yandell, a daughter of the late Dr. L. P. Yandeli of Louisville, who was a Tenuesseean. The fignre is an exact reproduction of the one that crowned the hill of Athena This copy is 25 feet high, although the original was 70 feet. Standing, as it does, iu front of the maiu entrance to the Par- < tnenon, it occupies, without a doubt, the finest position in the park. The statne was made in Paris aud recently shipped, as Miss Yarnell has been pursuing he? Studies abroad for the past two years. The Parthenon is appropriately de voted exclusively to the fine arts. Peo- . pie who love pictures (and who does \ not?) will be pleased to know that the art exhibit is one of the finest ever seen in the sontb, the majority of the canvasses being well worthy of a place under the classic dome that shelters them. Many of the old masters are represented, as well as the modern painters of this country and abroad, who have distinguished themselves. Here may be seen pictures by Raphael, Ccrregio, Titian, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Murillo; and of I later date Hngnet, MussOnier, Troyoa, ! Corot and others. Whether the art exhibit has been prepared with a special view to attracting the teachers ot the sonth, whose vacations will oocnr during the exposition, I do not know: this much is certain, that thonsands of them have already turned their eyes towards the Parthenon, and that the resorts they usually honor with their presence will miss them this summer. The hanging of the pictures was di- > rected by Mr. Leon Hoecker of Chicago, who is in charge of the collection. Mr. I THE PART ft P. Hoplrlnson Smith, so favorably koown as artist and anthor, is oue of the art judges for the exposition. | The Commerce Building. The Oommeroe building (happily ! named) is one of the largest on the j, i grounds. This was called Manufacturers and Liberal Arts at Chicago and Atlanta, and it will contain the samec character of exhibits. It is situated on the western side of the park. The build- ; ing measures 591 by 256 feet, and a great dome rises in the middle to a height of 175 feet. The central pavil- ..j ion is two stories in height, the seconoT story forming a gallery on either side , ui bv 160 feet, overlooking the nave, f and is reached by four broad stairways, one at each end of the four corners. The general style is based on the Corinthian and Ionio orders of the GrecoKoman. In this bnilding may be found the 1 finished products of the leading manu- I facturers of the world. Utility is j tamped on every article, but so artistio , is the arrangement that one wonders if manufacturers have ail turned artists, and if they hare wrought for pleasure only and not profit. The Auditorium. Just south of the Parthenon and within easy reach of the main entrance is thf Auditorium, which is one of th9 most impressive buildings ou tbo grounds. The intention is to use it for the me^i ings of large bodies. "Many tions which are to be held by various i societies hare determined to take advantage of the opportunity to atteui the exposition, and their sessions will be held iu the Auditorium. It is also proposed to hold parliaments similar to those held iu Chicago during the World's Fair. The capacity of the building is about 7,000 people. The design is colonial in form and Ionic iji treatment. Four porticoes, facing the different points of the compass, gife the floor a shape resembling a shoit cross, except for the circular colouuadw connecting at each corner, forming a | desirable promeuade and restful place for weary sightseers, while the rc >f furnishes a beautiful baloony, whi ih not only adds to the charm of the $e sigu, bat ia addition affords a vantare poiut for viewing outdoor displays aid pageants. The interior dimensions 290 by 110 feet. The tower is 140 fe^t high. | The X?thln?rr BailJIdj. The Machinery building, which lis 526 by 124 feet, is a nappy combination L There is some one in almost evA-y ne'gbborhood who is subject to attacks of pain in the stomach or bilious colic. Mr. J. D.- Kinniy, W *rren Center, Pa., used to be tioubled in that way. He ssys: "The attacks were marked by teirible pains, diarrhoea aud faintiig spells. At such times I suffered JxceediDgly until I began using Chlmberlain's Colic, Colera and Diarrdrea Remedy, two or three doses offwAfcr effected an immediate and lasjpg cure." For sale by j J. E.

Tennessee is one of the great agricultural states of the south and it is only proper that the farm* should take a leading place in this exposition. There j will be fine displays of fruits, grains, j cotton, tobacco and grasses under the dome. Liberal prizes are offered by the department. The people of Davidson, the capitol oounty, to whom so mach is due for the great success of the exposilion, will have their headquarters and make their exhibits in this building. The state commission, headed by Go/- ! ernor Robert L. Taylor, have recognized the superior importauce of the agricultural interests and hare provided ; handsome headquarters in this building and will exteud the oldtime southern hospitality to all visitors. The ! chief of this department isChlonel T. F. P. Allisou, who has so ably served the state for the last four years as commissioner of agriculture. Sister states will have representation in this building. The Seaboard Air Line is making an elaborate display of cotton, grains, grasses, tobacco and frnits from the states through whioh it passes. One of the novelties here to many visitors will be the outfit of a turpentine farm, still and all. < The Negro Hulldinj. Another building that deserves more hau^assing mention is the Negro (fcHk^hfcTTTs situated on the east side of Lake^Watau ?a. It is a massive and imposing structure, constructed j with a view of accommodating the vast variety of exhibits which the negro race will contribute. Its contents, showiig 1 specimens of work done by the negro in all the walks of life, will tell a great j story of moral and ra3iital progress in i the last 53 years. The negroes of the iouth have the greatest opportnuity ever offered them to exhibit *he history I of the past ani the hopes a.... possibili- ; ti?a nf thfl fnSnra. The Children'* DaUtllng. * The Children's building occupies an Interval between the Administration and the Woman's buildings. Th9 children of Tennessee by their own efforts j raised the money to pay for the construction of their building. The design is handsome, and the interior arrangement is especially adapted to the uses for which it is designed. Only snch exhibits as will amu.-e and ius'ruct the j young will be admitted. The school system of Teuuesse9 will be fully repre- ! ?euted, excelling any former exhibit of Upper Baptist Union. Batesburg, S. C., May 13, 1807. The Union Meeting of the Upper : Divison of the Lexington Baptist j Association will meet at Pine Grove church, on the fifth Sunday in May, 1 at 10 o'clock a. m.

It is about one-sixth of the original size, being 115 feet on its base line, 183 feet on its angle and 100 feet on its perpendicnlar line. The interior is a vast hall, 85 feet square and 50 feet high, with galleries all around 15 feet in width. Tills is the first time since the building of the pyramids by the Egyptians that ah attempt by any architect has been made to reproduce them, and it will therefore necessarily attract attention. In this artistic structure Shelby county, of which Memphis is the county seat, will display her cotton and farm products and her manufactures. Memphis on the Mississippi will thus revive the ancient city from whioh it derives its name. The History nalldlnjj. The History building is an adaptation of the Erecntheon, fchs venerable temple of Athens that stood near the Parthenon on the Acropolis. It contains reiicj and articles sacredly preserved by the Tennessee Historical society, the Colonial Dames, the Confederate Veterans and the Grand Army of the Rspub "" MINERALS ANI Ho. Tlie building contains about 4,930 square feet, divided into five compartments, one of each of which is set apart for history ami antiquities, the Confederate Veterans, the Grand Army of the Republic, the Colonial Dames and Daughters of the Revolution combined and one for miscellaneous contributions. The Electricity Ha:Idiu~. While many of the buildings suggest in architecture the art of ancient Greece, J the Electricity building is modeled after the tower of Babel, a clev-.r idoa cer- j tainlv.
