A RELIGIOUS REVIVAL.
BRooKsvILLE, Miss, Aug. y, S

BEooKsv1ILE, Mss, Aug. y, S4
Messrs. Editors This little town
to-day is as quiet as possible after
the close of the late revival meet
ing in the Baptist Church. which
was one Of uncommon interest, rs
it exceeded ali previous ones in the
depth Of feeling it excited in the
breasts of all kinds Of people. Mr..
Grey, a young Baptist preacher
not known here before. preached
every sermon during the meeting Of
two weeks, two sermons each day,
and moved the hearts and con.
sciences of the people as they were
never moved before, perhaps ; and
yet his manner was quiet though
earnest, not denunciatory but plead.
ing and persuasive, never once
holding forth the terrors Of the law
and future punishment. His sue.
cess was most gratifying, as he held
the largo congregations, composed
Of all ages and denominations al.
most suspended by his words.
Twenty.three persons were united
to the church, some BY letter and
restoration and eleven by baptism.
The rite was administered in the
church last night before q very
large audience, after an earnest and
solemn charge to the converts. The
music ard singing and the selec.
tions were quite good.
The houses Of business were
closed during the hours Of service
every day during the second week
of the meeting.
On the first Sunday in this month
a colored Methodist Bishop, Lane,
was invited to preach in the Metho-
dist Church by the pastor at 5
o'clock, p. m. The church was filed
mostly with the white people, but
the colored people had a limited
space allotted to them. The preach.
er, IN. some preliminary remarks,
modestly deprecated criticism upon
the grounds of the want of early
education and training of himself
as we'll as the rest of his race, and
said he did not presume to be able
to edify the white people. His text
was Phil. iii s. He used good Ian.
guage and was even eloquent to-
wards the last of his sermon. The
connection. or logical sequence I
suppose l might call it, was very
well preserved throughout his SER
mon.
There has been no rain here for
nearly two weeks now, and the far
mers would like to have o moderate
rain. Yours, S. P.

CONVENTION, OR PRIMARY?

One Of orr correspondents has
expressed tie desire to know why
the congressman should not be
nominated by Primary Election,
if the Primary Election is the best
mode of nominating county officers.
It would be hard to explain why.
Personally, we dislike the Primary
Election; or, rather, we dislike the
canvass that Immediately precedes
it. 1t is o very heavy drain upon
the political enthusiasm of the
country. and We believe that it pro.
vokes ill-feeling between neighbors.
and causes private enmities that
will last o lifetime. In our county
the canvass has been altogether too
long, and it has not been properly
maDaged-ia truth, it has not been
managed at ell.
While we dislike the Primary
Election ss o mode Of making nom-
nations, we cannot close our eyes to
the truth that it is more demo-
cratic than the nominating con.
vention, and gives more general
satisfaction. We cannot, therefore,
oppose it. And we do not hesitate
to say, that if the Primary Eleetiou
is the best thing for county purpo.
ses, it is also best for the purpose
of making congressional nomina.
tions. Recent dead-locks in con.
gressional nominating conventions
seem to indicate that the people
will have to discard the convention
and resort to something else. if
they want the nominees to repre-
sent their choice. By holding the
Primary Elections in the various
counties composing Congression-
al District, on the same day, the
congressman could be nominated
without additional trouble.

Good friend, before you fall out
with your neighbor because he re-
fuses to vote for your choice, just
reflect that it would be as reason
able and proper for him to fall out
with you because You refuse to vote
for his choice. This is free eoun
try, and no man has a monopoly of
civil or political rights and pr;vi.

WHATTHEY ARE MAKING

Each of the Railroads in this
State has, in common with the bus
mess people, felt the exceeding
tigh!ness of the times. A compari-
son of the earnings of the different
roads for June 'S3 and June '84,
has been made with the following
result: OF the seventeen roads,
ouly four show trifing gain; one,
the Chester and Lenoir, of 81, l,75O,
while the Cheraw and Darlington
show the small difference Of ST.
The other thirteen each have fallen
short. Our own road, the G. q 6,
show the considerable shortage Of
S2,558. The aggregate increase in
the whole State is $2,503, and the
decrease S2S,994. This is a melan-
choly rendering. We summarize
this from that admirable paper, the
Ne,cs e. Courier. Those of our read

names of these roads are informed
that they are the Atlanta and Char.

SHALL WE ENCOURAGE SHEEP
HUSBANDRY?

There is perhaps no country in the
world better adapted to sheep husban-
dry than Tennessee, and yet, but little
interest is taken in their propagation.
Why is this ? We have the grasses
growing in abundance on mountains
and in valleys, sufficient to feed large
flockssat very small expense, yet they
areInot there. Why is it? What is in
the way? 1t is on account OF the
dogs. So long as worthless dogs are
tolerated and allowed to depredate up
on sheep, the latter cannot succeed.
The dogs must go, or some sort of law
must be enacted by the next LeGisla-
ture to restrain them and protect the
sheep. The people should see that
their Representatives are sound on the
question of dog law.

For Men of Intelligence to Read.

To the Standard.
Two men; one from Scotland and the
other from England, have recently in
vested two millions of dollars in coal
and iron land and necessary machinery
to develop it over at Dayton, East Tens
nessee, within sixty miles of McMinn>
vile. Dayton used to be called Smiths
X Roads, and its size about that of
Vervilla, in our county. 1t is on the
Cincinnati Southern railroad. And
Miss Maude St. Pierre, a young lady
of large wealth, has recently bought
$4,000 acres Of land in Franklin coun>
ty, still nearer to US. $4,000 acres of
this is in one body near very small
station on the Nashville & Chattanooga
railroad, called Anderson. She is go>
ing to build town there in modern
style. She says she has rode on horse
back over each of her $4,000 acres,
which shows what young women can
do when they will. But here is the
point: Would either Of these--to-
gether with many smaller but very i'm
portant investments-ever been made
if there were no railroads there? |
leave it with men of sense to answer.
Do our farmers and men with growing
families want to see our country prosper
too? What say you, young men, the
hope of this fair land? Do you will
that our country shall advance, stand
still or retrogade? One way you can
answer this is by your vote on next
election day. | am no lawyer nor poll
tician, and | trust | shall never be a
politician, for l have seen more good
men injured than benefited by chasing
that phantom. But l would not give
one large land buyer, or mine develop
er, or mandatory, or good prosperous
farmer for all the whooping, snorting
demagogues in creation There is a
class-that class of men whose fences
are 5 to 6 rails high, who pay more Of
the country's taxes and never intend
to--who are always on hand to yell
when demagogue snorts his thunder.
1t is high time for men of sense to vote
for their families, their country and
themselves-but it is not for me to say
for whom. PATRI.

In this county bees have generally

are probably we'll supplied, but it
would be well to examine them and
see that they are all right for the win
ter. There are nearly always some
weak colonies that need feed, and if
not fed will perish. Now is the time
to feed such, and see that they are not
destroyed by the moths. Weak colo
MES must have attention or they will
perish. "Look after the bees"

good one. No doubt dogs are good
fertilizers for fruit trees. We are not
sure about the propriety of using pois-
on promiscuously TO capture dogs.
Dogs are not only good as fertilizer,
nut their absence would greatly pro-
mote the propagation of wool and
good mutton. We should be glad to
see the present generation of dogs used
as fertilizer, and on every farm a nice
flock of sheep. Sheep are useful,
while the most of dogs are curse.
Some sort Of legislation is absolutely
necessary to restrain the dog and pro-
tect the sheep. We have heard from
our candidates in reference to nearly
every other subject that is likely to
come before the Legislature. What
say you gentlemen on the subject of a
judicious dog law? Are you for some
good law that will protect sheep hus-
bandry? Sheep are not only profta-
bic for their wool and mutton, but
they do much good in destroying
sprouts, weeds and wild grasses on the
farm which they convert into manure
and distribute over the farm. We
hope our Representative, whoever he
may be, will favor a good dog law.
