The Peculiar Healthfulness

OF the location of McMinnville has
given the place wide reputation as
health resort. Its elevation, one
thousand feet or more above the sea
level, the gravelly character of the
soil upon which it is built, the invig-
Grating mountain breezes by which it
is famed, the excellence and album
dance Of freestone water with which
it is supplied all combined, make
McMinnville 8 desirable place in
which to spend the heated term Of
the year and escape the stiffiing at
mosphere of the lower portions of the
country. Great numbers of people
congregate here during the summer
from less favored localities. AS a re-
suit of these annual visitations, our
town is well supplied with hotel ac-
commodations. The WARREN HOUSE
has now a wide reputation among
commercial men, summer tourists
and health-seekers as a favorite hos
telry. The house was built and es-
pecially adapted to the wants of those
seeking temporary home. 1t has
recently been refitted throughout,
and placed in charge of Mr.. c. Nc
CLARITY, an old commercial traveller,
who is especially fitted for the posi-
ton, and who has already won popu-
Iarity as a caterer to the requirements
of hotel frequenters. Rooms have
been furnished in elegant style suffi-
cient for the accommodation of three
hundred people. Near this house is
pleasant public park, in which are
beautiful shade trees and a sulphur
well. The streets of the town and
the drives into the country afford am
pie opportunity for carriage or horse
back riding. Frequent excursions
are made to Ben Lomond mountain,
Crisp Springs, Caney Fork Falls, and
other places of interest in the vicinity
of the town. The forests abound with
game and the numerous streams with
fish, affording fine sport for the lover
of the rod and gun. A number of
pleasure boats are kept on Barren
Fork, by means of which pleasure
parties are enabled to explore the at
tractive scenery along this stream
above the town. The rates at the
Warren House are placed at the
lowest possible limit to accord with
the excellent fare.

M. B. Wood,

The leading butcher of McMinnville,
has sold out his general store at the
East End of Main street, and will in
future devote his entire attention to
the butchering business. He has
leased the frame building, one door
east of Mead q Ritchey's produce
packing house. This change has be
come necessary because Of Mr..
Woods rapidly increasing patronage
in the meat trade. There may be
found at all times on his counter a
choice selection of roasts, steaks and
boiling pieces; also sausages and all
kinds of salt meats and game in sea-
son. 1t might be well to remark
right here to the farmers that Mr..
Wood is prepared to handle all kinds
Of country produce, for which he will
pay the highest market price. At
his market none but the best ami
mails are killed. He delivers meat
three times each "eek to all custom
crs who desire it. Those wanting re-
liable meats can depend upon being
well served by Mr.. Wood.

Morford & Co.

Is the style Of new firm, although
the senior member is pioneer
among the mercantile firms of Nc
Minnville. Mr.. Etter, former part
ner in the business, has given place

in 1868, and by fair dealing and care
ful attention to details, has establish
ed prosperous trade. Dry goods,
boots and shoes, queensware, gents
furnishing goods, and good selec-
ton of miscellaneous goods make up

with Morford & Co. is that one can
always find what they want.

A Few Doors west

offspring street, on the north side of
Main, is the establishment of Mr.. E.
WEBB, and one who once trades with
this accommodating merchant is sure
to be found buying goods at his coun-
ter again. Dry goods, family grocer
les, canned goods, confectioneries,
boots and shoes, hats, and a COM
plete line Of gents furnishing goods
comprise the varieties of his large as
sortment of goods, excepting the cell
ebrated Avery chilled pillow, for
which he is,agent, and to the sale of
which he devotes especial attention.
This is one Of the best plows made,
and merits a careful examination by
purchasers.

The Memory Of the Departed

Should be preserved by the erection
of suitable monuments over their
resting places. Mr.. l.. c. TURPIN,
proprietor of the McMinnville marble
works, spares no expense that is
requisite to make his stock and the
quality of his work equal to any de
mand that may be made upon him.
A competent force of skilled work
men is employed, and the prices are
graded to compete with the marble
works of larger cities.

eral assortment of goods, which the

a wide circle of customers, and who
is one of our staunchest business men.
General hardware and agricultural
implements are the special features of
trade to which he gives attention,
though to supply the various wants
of his trade he carries a supply of
family groceries. 1t is Mr.. Seitz's
practice to sell only the best of every
thing; and by this course he retains
the confidence and patronage of those
who deal with him. Such a course
has gained for him an enviable repu-
tation as a square dealer. We can

fidence of our readers.

WONDERFUL INVENTION

in the way of a small tool to which
our attention was called among their
large assortment of other tools, 1t is
an automatic screw-driver, which
must be seen and used to be apprecia-
ted.

this article, customers will always be
pleased with the treatment and ready
manner in which goods are shown by
the head Of thisfrm, II. II. Faulkner,
whose aim seems to be to please. In
this he is aided by his efficient clerks.
