Our Job Office.

The STANDARD PUB. Co., have, in
addition to their present facilities, for
job work, purchased another new job
press, and splendid outfit Of job type
and other material of the latest and
most fashionable styles, and in very
few days will lave ample facilities for
printing all kinds of plain, fancy and
ornamental work. With two new job
presses and two of the best job printers
in the state, we can not fail to give sat
isfactOn in our work. With our facil-
tiles and advantages we think we can
compete with the cities both in prices
and the quality of our work.
To the business men of our town and
other towns, Of our county and other
counties, we desire to say that they
can get their letter, note and bill heads,
envelopes and statements, or any other
printing they may desire done, at the
STANDARD office not only in the very
best style, but also promptly and at
reasonable prices. To the legal pro-
fession, physicians, county and district
officers we desire to say we can supply
them with almost any legal blanks OIL
printed forms they may desire at almost
the price they would pay at retail fol
the blank paper. We buy stationery
at the lowest wholesale prices for casl
and to these prices we add reasonable
compensation for our work, which
makes the printed goods cost but little
more, if any, than the ordinary retail
prices Of the imprinted paper. Young
gentlemen and young ladies who cor
res pond much with each other anC
their friends would find i6but LITTLE
more expensive to have their letter ant
note heads and envelopes printed.

Take Care of Your Apples.

We would advise our fruit growers
to take care of their apples. 1t is said
that large quantities of the Northern
and Western apples have fallen off,,
and although their crops were large,
in many localities they will have few
for market. The probability is that
our finest apples will bring reasona-
bly, good price, and also that the rail-
roads will give us rate of freight
that will pay our farmers and
fruit growers to ship all their good
fruit. The better plan seems to us
would be, in gathering, to select the
nice fruit for shipping and leaYe only
the inferior for distilling.

Freight Rates-PrOspect of a R,.
ductiOn.

Mr.. Y. B. Jones, of Nashville, con-
tracing agent for the NJ, g. q St.
Louis r. r., visited our city last Sat
urday and remained over until Monday
morning, MIR. Jones is a very pleasant
and nice christian gentleman, and we
were very glad to meet him and make
his acquaintance. He said he had
come to see us and talk with us about
freights. He had heard Of our COM
plants and desired to hear what we
had to say in support or justification Of
those complaints. We tried to tell him
what we thought he ought to do for us,
and although he made no positive prom
Uses, we believe the rates from Nash
vile and Chattanooga to all points on
the McMinnville branch will be re.
duced. We contended for reduction
of at least nine cents per hundred on
all classes. That would make first
class 80 cents and so on. Fifty cents
per hundred is a very high rate, and
as much as the merchants of McMinn-
vile and vicinity ought to pay, and a
corresponding rate at other points on
the road.
We tried to convince Mr.. Jones that
we should have a very low rate on
green apples, potatoes, and other per-
ishable products to all points South on
account of the great danger of entire
loss to the shipper, who is required to
guarantee the freight. We believe
they will give us low rate on these
perishable products, so as to enable the
farmers to market their large surplus
of green fruit. We think the railroad
authorities cannot fail to see that it il
not only their duty, but that it is tt
( their interest to make a very low rate
on green apples, in order to move
them. Our apples are much more ten
der and perishable than the Northern
apples, and we cannot handle then
with as much certainty and safety a
our Northern friends handle theirs
We expect low rate on green apple
and will be disappointed if we do no
get it.

RHEA SPRINGS.
A Prominent Lawyer Of Hunts
vile Fatally Shot by His Wife.

CHATTANOOGA, Sept 12.-Six months
ago two Huntsville, Ala, society bellies
while going to concert with their
beaux, thought it would be fine lark
to run off and get married, and soon
they were speeding on the tram to this
city, and were married here by an
Episcopal minister. Their escapade
created the Invest flutter known in
Huntsville society for years. About two
months ago one of the brides, named
Davis, was taken i'll and her husband
removed her to Rhea Springs. She
gained her health, but her mind seemed
unsettled. Two weeks ago they had
a quarrel and she refused to have any
thing more to do with him. Tonight
she started out for a walk. Her hus
band followed. Soon the report of a
pistol was heard and he was found shot
through the bowels and fatally wounded
by his wife. She is the daughter Of
Col. Merriwether, one of the mos
prominent men in the vicinity O
Huntsville.
