Indiana EXcursiOnists,

A large number of Indianans left In
dianopolis on April 20, for the South.
Governor Williams and Hon. T. A.
Hendricks are among them. Farmers
and mechanics compose the party main
ly, and many will 10 doubt be on the
look out for homes among us. Tennes-
see should ever be ready to welcome to
her hospitality such guests as these.
We are in favor of a good class of i'm
migrants who desire to settle perma-
nently in our midst and become of us
and for us as a State. We have
but little patience with that floating
class who think they carry the world
around with them, and wsere they are
there is light and all else is darkness.
The party reached Nashville on the
21st, and those who were so fortunate
as to be present at the reception of
Ex-Governor Hendricks heard the
words of wisdom and patriotism fall
from his lips instead of the old stereo'
typed speech Of Gen. Grant receiving
receptions"

Unity Of Actien.

The following timely words from the
Opelika, Ala, Times, should characterize
the heart of every true patriot:
"The great principles Of success eth
in business or politics, is unity of ac-
ton. The party cannot hope to win in
the coming struggle without it. The
chickering's and cavilings ofdisappointed
office seekers must be stopped, There
are many men in the party who have
claims to political preferment, but they
must remember that self-abnegation is
imperative in this great struggle OF
freedom against anarchy and misrulc.
1t is imperative that every democrat
should do his whole duty, sinking per-
sonal aspirations and aggraudizemeni
for the welfare of the entire country
Let the rallying cry be the Constltu
ton as it is and every democrat hu
do his duty in healing the discords il
our ranks. Should this be done, unity
of action. unity of principle would fol
low, and the party would become in
vincible,"

"From johnson to Shelby.

This is the canvass now being made
= by MithelPS Biographies. They
were recently adopted in johnson
county for its schools for term Of five
years, and Shelby county on o,a west
ern border responds in like manner by
adopting them in her public schools
together with Buffers Pictorial History

pecially the biographies, have long been
in use in many counties of Tennessee
and are now in use more generally in
Warren county than any other geog-

A Warming to Sons Of Nimrod.

Persons who find it pleasant or prof
table to hunt game should not over
look the fact that in Tennessee the game
law is now in force. 1t reads as fol-
lows: "That it shall not be lawful for
any person to hunt, kill, or capture,
from the first day of March until the
18th of September in each year, any
game bird, as pheasant, grouse, quail,
partridge, lark, woodcock or snipe, nor
wild turkey from the 1st of May until
the 18th of September; nor any time
to kill or capture any birds of song, as
the mocking-bird, thrush, robin or eri'
ole, or any birds known to destroy in
seets, the sparrow, bluebird, woodpeck
er or yellow-hammer, nor shall it Of
lawful for any persons at any time t.
destroy the nests or eggs of any of th'
above named birds. Any peraon .founC

From the FarNest.

SToNEwALL, INDIAN Terry, April 7, 1880
To the Editor Of the Standard:
| thought a few lines from this
country would be pastime for some of
your many readers. Times are reason
ably good in this part of the country;
the prospect for good wheat crop is
favorable; the farmers are generally
ready to commence blowing their corn;
cotton planting will commence next
week. Our little village-Stonewall-
handled about 500 bales of cotton last
year. Cotton will average one bale
per acre, wheat from IS to 20 bushels;
corn, from 45 to 60 bushels per acre.
Corn is worth rs cents per bushel;
wheat, s1.35; flour $3.50 to $500 per
100 pounds; coffee, 25 cents per pound;
sugar, 10 to 124 cents; syrups IS cents
to $1,OO per GAL; domestics 10 to 16S
cents per yard; and everything else in
proportion. >
Your valuable paper reaches us every
Thursday, and having been born and
raised in Warren Co., Team, / look the
columns over and over as if it was a
word from my relatives and friends.
Respectfully,
JAMES Il. HENEGAR.

Old Virginia


is to be invaded again. This time it
will not be by armed hosts, but in an
old-fashioned way. A few days since
some prominent Virginia gentlemen of
both wings of the Democratic party in
that State appeared in this city and ex-
acted a promise of Senators Vance,
Voorhees,, Pendleton and Gordon and
Representative Blackburn to make a
series OF speeches in that State in next
month. The Hon. John F. House will
not be able to 60, as he expects to de-
vote all his spare time to the Centen-
NAL at Nashville.
1t will be readily seen what interest
the members of the democratic party
feel in the coming canvass in that grand
old Commonwealth.
Unfortunately, there are well ground
ed fears that things will not work well
for the Democracy in that State, unless
the hearts Of the people are recalled to
their ancient allegiance by the eloquent
appeals of fellow-Democrats outside the
State Washington Correspondent Of the
american.
The above shows what the result Of
divisions and strife in the democratic
party will lead to in Tennessee, unles;
our people are wiser than the Virgins
democracy have proved themselves or
their State debt question. The time
for the friendly interposItion of the dis
tinguished gentlemen above named il
behalf of peace in the democratic ranks
was before the party wos divided. Th,
tine for Tennessee democracy to taxi
such counsel is now, before any spli
has taken place, before her convention
have met, so that the counsel may pre-
vent rather than attempt to heal afte
the division has become fact. LIE
all true democrats frown upon all effort
to divide and distract the party.

The Telephone.

The following is taken from a recent
issue of an Evansville, Indiana, paper:
There was special interest attached to
the services at the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church yesterday, from the fact that it was
the first use of the telephone arrangement
recently adopted to enable the sick or infirm
who are unable to leave their homes, to
listen to the church service. The expert
ment was perfectly successful, the entire
service-organ, choir, and preachGr-being
distinctly heard in houses several squares
away, and proving great comfort to num-
rangement will be permanent.
This item was copied and comment.
ed upon by the papers Of other cities,
and it may be of interest to the read
ers of the Cumberland Presbyterian. A
few weeks since, the session of this
Church provided the pastors study with
a Bell telephone, with microphone at
tachment, so that he could readily COM
municate with all parts of the city
where such instruments are in use, and
that he might be in reach, at mo,
ments notice, of all who might need
his services. The arrangement is prov,
ing wonderful convenience to the pas.
tor, as well as to all others whose du.
ties bring them in contact with him,
and brief experience has fully demon
strated that it is worth much more
than it cost in the saying Of time and
labor.
The superintendent of the telephone
exchange, desiring to ascertain whether
the instrument would transmit distinct
ly to persons at a distance the various
services on the Sabbath, placed the mi
crophone on the pulpit, fifty feet away
connecting it with the telephone by
wires under the floor. The success o
the experiment is described in the par
agraph given above. A lady residing
mile from the church, who has tel
ephone in her house, and who has no
heard sermon for more than a year
remarked to the writer to-day that sh
sat at home and heard, with perfec
ease, almost every word of the hymns
prayer, and sermon as distinctly as
she had been in the midst of the cor
gregation. OF course those who ar
able to go to church would not conten
themselves with this substitute; but t
those who love the house of the Lor
and are prevented from attending j
e services, the arrangement will, no doul
prove very great comfort. The pa
tor conducts the services as usual, will
!. out regard to instrument, and it occ'
sions no inconvience nor labor TO an
4 one. As many persons as have tel
! phones can listen at the same time.-

Hotels AT the Centennial.

We understand that the Hotels in
Nashville will neither raise nor lower
their rates of charges during the Cen
tennial Exposition, but may necessari-
ly have to curtail some of the accom-,
modations in the way of rooms, owing
to the crowded state of their houses at
that time.
Every effort however will be made
to accommodate all. Of course gentle
men alone cannot expect separate rooms
on that occasion. Parties who desire
to 60 in groups will do well to address
the Nicholson House for special direc.
tions, which is one of the best, neatest
and most convenient hotels in the city
in every respect; see notice elsewhere.
1t is only 100 yards from the Exposi

Doctors, Druggists and Drinkers Look
Sharp.

Judge Trewhitt, in his charge to the
Grand Jury at Athens, Monday last,
instructed them to find true bills against
all physicians who prescribed whiskies,
braDdies, Or any other drinks, the body
of which was alcohol, when prescribed
to persons whom they had any reason
to believe desired the same to use as a
beverage. He also instructed the jury
to hold all parties connected with the
sale of alcohols responsible-such as
the druggists, though he sold on pre-
scription, and the man who did the pur
chasing. We understand that he also
instructed the jury that they had the
power and that twas their sworn duty
to call before them any person selling
the same and compel them to exhibit
their prescriptions or books.

Wm. |, of the House of Warren,
or the Warren House, innocently re-
ported it about last week that one of
his customers, to-wit, the editor of the
STANDARD, had gone to Nashville to
attend the "big show" of the Coup
Company, but we must be allowed to
inform our goodnatured friend William,
that we were not "s'cOuped in," neither
we're we caught in such a coup as that,
although it was said to be the largest
show ever brought to that city.
We suppose however that William
got the "big show" and the Exposition
little mixed as it is not denied that
our mission was in some way more or
less connected with the latter.

ter further says that the thing has gone

COLLINS RIVER, April -, 1880.

COLLINS RIVER, April II, 1880.
To the Editor of the Standard;
Thinking perhaps no one was going
to reply to our Collins river correspon-
dent, | take the liberty of responding,
for l greatly admire bachelors when
they are not too old. | have had my
eye on Mr.. Clendenen some Time, but
did not know how to come at him until
| saw he was advertised. 1t would be
so nice to be Mrs. of that new house
of his. Now this is leap year and he
had better look out, for some one IS anx-
ious to catch him. Allow me to men,
ton few other prominent old bache-
lors who are as anxious to get married
as those advertised. One is Mr.. james
Moffit, a smart old bachelor, but he is
so tin,id. The ladies will have to do
most Of the talking. There is Mr.. An
drew Myers, riding about on his Ken
tucky black, hoping some young lady
will admire the horse If not the rider.
They are admired by hot few. l will
also speak of another bachelor, who has
come to spend leap year with us. Heis
the well known Mr.. Sam Gardner, who
has been making his home on Hickory
creek for some time past. We feel
complimented to know Mr.. Gardner
has come to his old home to accept bis
leap year proposal.
An old bachelor is lovely object,
and hope they will all get off this
year without any difficulty. Surely
they do not expect to wait until the
young men have bargaiIed for all the
prettiest and smartest girls in the
country. If so, they are waiting until
it will be "Lord, any before none. y
Now my friends you have any trouble,
just call on Mr.. Cardwell, he was never
known to fail in making a match.
Now all old bachelors, when you
wish to advertise yourselves again, dc
so without any hesitation, and we will
know YOU are still in the notion to
marry.
We will not advertise any more un
til these are married off. Hoping to bt
invited to your weddings soon, re
main as ever, Rosy.
