We would remind our citizens that on next Friday a large number of strangers will be here, nearly all of whom will desire accommodations; and we would here suggest the idea that it would be well for those who can do so to bring or send to the tournament grounds such provisions as they can, for there will be many persons present who willingly partake of something for the inner man. Hardeman county has a good name abroad for her generous hospitality, and it is hoped that her citizens will sustain the assertion with a liberal hand. Bring your baskets, and have them well filled.
