Another Entry.
Aug. 10, 1884.

D. B. Hoover, of Coffee county, en-
tiers the contest for the prizes for the
best 100 ears of corn. We would be
glad for all who contemplate entering
to send in their names as early as pos
sible. 1t costs nothing but the corn to
enter for the premium. The corn may
come from any size field, or even a
small lot, SO it is grown this year and
by the party entering it. Any county
in the State or out of it can enter.
We hope to see lively contest. Those
entering will signify which prize they
enter for, or whether they enter for
both or not.

Very Acceptable.

Our community has been blessed
with a few nice showers this week, the
first Of which fell Thursday morning.
1t was much needed, and the farmers
rejoice to see it. The corn crop in
many parts of this county is represent
ed as not very promising. Too much
wet weather at time when corn need
ed work is one reason given for the
shortness of the crop.

SOUTHERN STANDARD.

We renew the request made some
time ago in reference to the extension
of the circulation of the STANDARD.
We have the assurance that the STAN
DARD isone of the very best weekly
papers published in the State, and
should be read by every farmer. 1t is
peculiarly adapted to the household,
and contains the very best selections of
matter we can collect from a number
of agricultural and other exchanges.
We desire to ask our friends, as many
as will, to speak good word for us,
and help us to extend its circulation
as much as possible during the next
few months.
Many small farmers take no paper
at all, and have only to be shown a
copy and asked to send in their sub.
scriptions. We have a splendid circus
lation in Warren, and quite number
in all the adjoining counties, but not
so many as We would like to have.
How many of our friends who are reg
ular readers of the STANDARD will
send us one or more new subscribers
An effort upon their part doubtless
would result in success, and the circula'
ton of the STANDARD would be large
ly increased. Our success, in a large
measure depends upon the assistance O
our friends. To them, we are largely
indebted for the present circulation,
We will endeavor to make the paper
worthy liberal patronage, and trus
our friends will continue to send III
many new subscribers.

We spent couple of hours very
pleasantly last Monday afternoon in
looking through some of the manufac-
turing establishments of Tullahoma,
and listening to the wonderful stories
of Tullahoma's rise and progress, from
Mayor w. r. French, whose talking
apparatus approximates very nearly to
perpetual motion. The Tullahoma
Wooden Mills, the File Factory, the
spoke and handle works, and large

throw Of each other, and are all in q
hourishing condition. There are sew.
eralother manufacturing establishments
in the place, and altogether they work
quite large force of hands. Mr..
French mentioned some other enter.
prises which we did not visit-the dis.
tillery, etc. The Hotel de Cornelius is
filled with guests. and the merchants
all seemed to be having lively trade.
Numbers of buildings are in course Of
erection, both for business and dwell
ings, and altogether the town presents
the appearance of life and activity.
We had pleasant chat with Bro. VIII

Florence Nightingale's Advice.
SHE BAYS THAT THOROUGH SANITARY WORK is THE
ONLY PREVENTIVE OF CHOLERA

Miss Florence Nightingale, the Cr1mean heroine,
has written from Paris to the New York Herald in
reply to q note asking for practical advice In view
OF the rapid spread or cholera She says: "That
our whole experience In India, where cholera is
never wholly absent, tends to pr0ve-nay. actually
does prove-that cholera is not communicable from
person to person. That the disease cannot be
aScribed to somebody else, that is, that the Sick
do not manufacture z special poison which causes
the disease. That cholera is local disease-an
epidemic Affecting localities, and there depending
on pollution Of earth, air, and water and buildings.
That the isolation OF the sick cannot stop the dis
ease, nor quarantine, nor cordonS, nor the like.
These, indeed, may tend fatally 10 aggrayate the
disease, directly and Indirectly 10y turning away
our attention from the only measures which can
stop It. That the only preventive Is TO put the
earth, air and water and buildings into healthy
state By scavenging, limewashing and every kind
of sanitary work. and II cholera does come. to move
the people from the places where the disease has
broken out and then TO cleanse. Persons about
cholera patients do not catch the disease from the
others. II . number OF persons have been poisoned,
say by arsenic put by mistake into rood IL Is be-
cause they have each swallowed the arsenic. It's
not because they have taken It,' the smys-
Vigorously enforce sanitary measures, but with
judgments. o., scayenge. scdvenge, scavenge;
wash, cleanse and lnewash: remove all putT1d
human refuse from privies and cesspits, and cess
and pigsties; look TO common lodging houses and
crowded places, dirty houses aud yards 'Set your
house In order In ali ways, sanitary and nyyenic
according acc, g 70 the conditions Of the place. ana All
feared Is in blaming somebody else and not our
0Wn selves for such an epidemic visit alion. As a
matter OF fact II the disease attacks neigAbors
we ourselves are already liable 10 II. TO trust for
