State Senator.

The Maury County Convention has
appointed delegates to convention
announced TO meet at Centreville Oh
the fourth Monday in this month, for
the purpose ofnominating candidate
for State Senator in this Senatorial
district. Two candidates for State
Senator are announced from this
County. and one from Dixon. We
understand that it will be urged in
the Convention that Dixon County
is entitled TO the forthcoming term,
but we think we can show why Maui
nv County is entitled TO ii. III 1853
DR.. MOORE, of Hickman County, was
sent one term. In 1901 Gen. WHIT
TIIoRNE, of Maury, served two terms.
In 1859 and 1861 T. MCNEILLY, of
Dixon. was elected. After this pc
Rod there is a blank of seven or eight
wears. From 1861 to 1863, when j.
II. EAsoN, of Hickman, was elected,
there was no election held when the
people could all vote. The reader
will clearly see that Maury County is
entitled to the Senator. 1t has been
about fourteen years since this county
sent one of its own citizens, Gen. w.
to the upper house of the Legislature,
and we insist that we are entitled to
itnow. In order to invalidate Maury
County's claim, the two terms when
four-fifths Of the best citizens of the
County were disfranchised, will have
TO be counted. Dixon has had it since
Maury-who is now entitled to it!

The Higher Education for Woman.

In this prominently active age, no
movement is more characteristic OF the
spirit of advancement that is all pre-
yailing, than that in behalf of the
higher education of woman. 1t be-
longs to that class of movements that
has for its aim the development OF the
latent forces of humanity. Anu IN
this light no other movement OF the
age is of so great importance. what
ever words of wisdom or folly may be
uttered for or against woman's rights,
so-called, no sensible son of woman
can utter a word against the movement
to which we have reference. 1t would
have met the hearty approval OF all
RIGHT minded men, at all times, but
now il is demanded, imperatively de-
manded. by the civilization of the age.
Woman's aid is needed in the great
work of progress {; and in order that
ber aid NAV be efficient and of most
avail. she must he educated. so far
the intelligent people of all countries
are now agreed. But the question as
TO how, is yet open. Upon the relative
merits of different plans of female ed
ucation there is much disagreement
and no little discussion. But among
almost innumerable advocates of diff
fcrent views no one has WORD 10 say
in behalf of the Veneer anu Varnlsh
style so much in vogue some years ago.
That style is so purely false that no one
dares openly TO advocate 1t. All are
agreed that let the plan be what II may,
if must be honest, earnest, truthful
training. This is great step forward.
How great only they can appreciate
who have had occasion to make tle
intimate acquaintance of fashlonaDle
female school of a few years ago. Inc
,rreat and avowed aim of such institu-
tions was TO fit girl "to make a Show
But such institutions were the natural
frujts of the low and false standard OF
female education held by the pubic
There was demand and these estab.
lishments met il. Happily the demand
is fast diving out, and with II all such
humbugs must die.
Such is the advanced opinion III all
intelligent communities now, thai
schools for young girls must oliel
something more than smatterings
But this high appreciation of the edu
cation of woman is not a new discov
ery. The public at large are butad
yancipg to the heights long held b.
some of the wisest and best men o
all christian countries. Education il
America has ever been more remarka
