"Hal, I hope you aren't going to take up with this nonsense, and risk the success of the Centennial Old Home Week." "I can't see what good we should be doing," said the new editor. "It's big news, if it's true," suggested Wayne, rather wistfully. "Suppression of a real epidemic." "Ghost-tales and goblin-shine," laughed the big doctor, recovering his good humor. "Who's the physician down there?"
Its members were earnest and capable but it did not long survive. Through the efforts of the National Association a State organization was effected in 1897, the year of the Centennial Exposition in Nashville, and there was a convention in April, 1900, attended by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, national president.
When the "Marble Faun" was first published the art criticism in it, especially of sculptors and painters who were then living, created a deal of discussion, which has been revived again by the recent centennial celebration.
"Now them chairs, which a Yankee would hide in the garret, speak of a past and tell you've been somebody a good while. I'd give the world for such an old place as this at home; but, my land! we are that new in America that the starch fairly rattles as we walk.
