HOW TO KILL A PAPEI,
The following recipe for bring¬
ing about the demise of a local
newspaper is ottered by the editor
of a westrn paper:
Just let the subscription go 1 ’ts
only a dollar or two—the dub-
lisher doesn’t need it.
If lie asks for it, g-et, as triad as
you can and tell him to stop it,—
you never read it any way. Then
go and borrow your neighbor’s.
When the reporter comes,
ways be busy. Make him feel
if be were intruding. When the
advertising and job man comes,
tell him yon don’t, need to adver-
Use—m-erbo,ly knowa von; that
you will try and #et. alon^* with
out any printed stationary— " it j s
too , expensive; you must econo
mize.
Never drop in and see the editor
unless ^ you want a free T
meritjiry notice or a lengthy obit-
nary of a beloved relative.
Never recommend the paper to
anybody. When you do speak of
it, say “Yes, we have a little
sheet., but it doesu,t amount to
much.” Keep it up for a year or
two and you will have a dead
newspaper, a dead set of mcr-
chants and a dead town.

tho first state admitted into the Union
formed from territory ceded to the gen¬
eral government, it is appropriate that
we celebrate our centennial anniversary
our sistor states and other nations in
the progress of the age-in all the tri-
umplis and glories of civilization.
.. W hUe this celebration is prompted
by reverence for the pa.st.it is also

Tenneitieo’it 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 amt mummy
hid.” It is fitting that a great com¬
monwealth should celebrate its first
birthday by an exhibit of its material
resources so displayed as to reveal the
culture that is reached only in the high¬
est civilization.
The Tennessee Centennial exposition
has been fortunate in its selection of
the designs and names of many of its
buildings. It was a subject of uufavor-
able comment: that Atlanta copied Chi¬
cago so closely in the nani'H of her
buildings. Nashville lias oeen more
original. Reproduction-! of the Part lie-
non, l he Erejiitheou, tiio Tower of Bab-
ol, the Rialto, and Cheops pyramid give
a hint of the classic taste that has pro-
vailed iu providing buildings for an ex¬
position of material things.
Now that the gates have been thrown
open to the world, and tho groat enter¬
prise auspiciously launched, people are
beginning to ask thorustIves two lead-
ing questions; (J) What is there to
see? (3) What does it cost? To which
tho faithful chronicler must 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 you please.
Mr. Charles IS. Harman of Atlanta,
general passenger agent of the Western
and Atlantic railroad, witnessed tho
opening ceremonies.
Mr. Harman was a director in tho
Cotton States and International exposi¬
tion at Atlanta, and therefore viewed
the Tennessee Centennial buildings and
grounds, in comparison with the build¬
ings and grounds of the exposition at
Atlanta. lie admits the grounds and
buildings are finer than the grounds
and buildings at Atlanta, but claims
tin? general picturesqo effect of tho At-
lanta grounds was greater than the
effect at Nashville.
The buildings are all covered with
white staff and are architecturally
beautiful.
