erected thereon were dedicated to the
honor and glory of Tennessee, in com¬
memoration of an event which trans¬
pired on June 1, 1790, and as tribute to
the men and women who endured the
hardships aud braved the dangers of
frontier life in the wilderness west of
the Alleghanies, that they might fouud
this great commonwealth.
“They loved the bauuer of our coun¬
try, with its little clus er of 15 stars;
and the lapse of 100 years has not im¬
paired the honor, integrity or patriot¬
ism of tho people of Tennessee; for we
love the same banner, with its glorious

constellation of 45 star?, representing 45
sovereign states, which together con¬
stitute the greatest nation in the world.
"The objects of this Centennial expo¬
sition are to commemorate the past,
present the advantages of the present
and inspire hope for the future—the
past, the present, the future of Tennes¬
see—objects so laudible that the enter¬
prise has received the approval of the
government of the United States, con¬
gress having appropriated $130,000 that
the general government might be prop¬
erly represented by a grand object les¬
son, showing the progress of the nation
during the past 120 years. It has also
been approved by the authorities of the
6tate of Tennessee, the legislature hav¬
ing appropriated $50,000 in order that
tho history, the products and the re-
sources 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,
counties and states, corporations, tirm3
and 10,000 individuals have augmented
these appropriations and donations until
a grand total of $1,000,000 has been ex-
pended in preparing for this exposition.

processions, grand festivals and tower-

the first state admitted into the Union
formed from territory ceded to tho gen¬
eral government, it is appropriate that
wo celebrate our centennial anniversary
by having a great exposition, showing
the world that we have kept pace with
our sister states and other nations in
the progress of the age—in all the tri¬
umphs and glorfes of civilization.
“While this celebration is prompted
by reverence for the past, it is also
prompted by a desire to so advertise
and proclaim our advantages that thous¬
ands from other states and other na¬
tions will come to see what we have ac¬
complished and realize the marvelous
wealth of oar undeveloped resources.
“The past century has not been one
of continuous peace and prosperity, but
there have been periods of differences
and dangers that tried men’s souls, yet
there has been more of prosperity than
of adversity, the improvements of the
century have been wonderful, and as
we stand upon the vantage ground of
the present and look back to the pioneer
days of Tennessee, we are proud of tho
record and achievements of the past,
and rejoice in the advantages of the
present, and it is hoped that the youth
of the land will so study these advan¬
tages as illustrated in the grand object
lesson of this exposition, that they will
be inspired to undertake still greater
achievements and strive to reach perfeo*
Cion's heights, which are rosplendent
with the glories reflected from the eter¬
nal hills wherein dwells the Author of
all wisdom and all power, Who rules
oyer the destinies of men and nations,
and Whose blessing we invoke upon our
exposition, our state, our country and
upon the nations of the earth. From
pole to pole, from zone to zone, over
trackless ocean, from land to land, may
the angelic anthem reverberate:
•■Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men.”
T«i«nes4oo’s Birthday.
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 by massive
piles of granite or polished marble shaft;
Byron says “old Cheops built a pyramid
to keep his mem’ry whole and mummy
hid.” It is fitting that a great com-
mouwealth should celebrate its first
birtliday by an exhibit of its materiel
resources so displayed as to reveal tna
culture that is reached only in the high¬
est civilization.
The Tennessee Centennial exposition
has been fo-tcuate in its selection of
the designs and names of many of its
buildings. It was a subj tot of uufavor-
able comment that Atlanta copied Chi¬
cago so closely in the names of her
buildings. Nashville has teen more
original. Reproductions of the Parthe¬
non, the Erechtheou, the Tower of Bab¬
el, the Riaito, aud Cheops pyramid give
a hint of the classic taste that has pre¬
vailed in providing buildings for an ex¬
position of material things
Now that the gates have been thrown
open to the world, aud tho great enter¬
prise auspiciously launched; people are
beginning to ask tliems- Ives two lead¬
ing questions: (1) What is there to
see? (2) What does it cost? To which
the faithful chronicler mu3t make an-
swer: Almost everything; almost any¬
thing. You can see all you have eyes
and time to see; it will cost you any-
thing yon please,
Mr. Charles E. Harman of Atlanta,
general passenger agent of the Western
au( i Atlantic railroad, witnessed the
opening ceremonies,
Mr. Harman was a director in the
Cotton States and International exposi-
tiou at Atlanta, and therefore viewed
the Tennessee Centennial buildings and
grounds, in comparison with the build-
i ugg a nd grounds of the exposition at
Atlanta. Ho admits the grounds aud
buildings are finer than the grounds
and buildings at Atlanta, but claims
tho general picturesqe effect of the Ac-
lauta grounds was greater than the
effect at Nashville.
The buildings are all covered 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 Wash¬
ington, D. O.
