dry for several weeks, rendering pas

Mr.. A. Grain, who has recently Wis
tied an Old Baptist Association in
Kentucky, says that large crowds at
tended, and did not demean them
selves well by any means, as whisky
and cigars were sold near the stand
where preaching was carried on.
This should be a lesson both to young
and old. May never be permitted
to witness such a course of behavior
at anybody's meeting in Tennessee.
But such is the case, more whisky,
more crime and wickedness; would
it not be better, to have no whisky
and less crime? Thinking men can
certainly decide without any argu-
ment.

News Dots Along the Line from Tnl.

Specially Reported for the Standard:
j. b. SpurlOck, of Nashville, went
up to Sparta Wednesday evening on
a business trip.
Nearly all of the farmers along the
line have lost most of their fodder, on
account of the continued crouth.
The dry weather, it seems, does
not have any effect on the drummers,
as they are thick as ever. Some of
them look rather sour, as though
they had struck green persimmon.
Business is very good on the branch
at present, the lumber men load cars
about as fast as they can be taken
out.
About all you can hear now on the
road is, are you going to the show ?
Gen. Dibrell returned from Nash

Hundreds of pounds Of dried black
berries and apples have been shipped

Most everybody is busy gathering
fodder this week. The long contin-

der very badly, 50 the usual amount
is not likely to be saved. Farmers
will probably learn some day that
they ought to raise more hay, so they
would not have to depend on fodder
altogether for roughness.
Some Of our public schools have
suspended a week for fodder-Others
have a meagre attendance.

The New Mississippian, in its
wild desperation to find some man to
beat Lowry, is con strained to speak
in terms Of approval of the possible
candidacy of Capt. Put Darden, the
hated Granger and demogogical
Railroad Supervisionist. 1t is our
honest opinion, from what we know
of the man, that Capt. Darden never
has been and is not now, candi-
date for any political office in the
State; but il he were ever so much
inclined TO run for Governor, it is
not likely that he would feel much
complimented at having as his lead
ing champion a paper which less
than two years ago was making all
sorts of ugly faces at him and rid
iculing the cause of which he
is the recognised leader and OK.

has about reached that point of
despair now where it would hug and
support an avowed simon-pure Pro

down Lowry. Alas ! for an empty
ambition.

Can Afford to Wait.

In response to our article urging

our neighbor, the Fayettc Chronicle,
says:
We are much obliged to the

den. But, Mr.. LEADER, we want you
to understand that Capt. Drden is
now being urged by this paper for
Governor, not Floater. The LEADER
is progressive young journal, and
while We do not agree with it in all
its utterances, still its opinions are
respected for their earncstness, and
it is one that we would like to wean
from its idol, and wed TO ours. You
can take the State over, and il you
can find better or ADLER man, one
who, taking everything into consid
GRAFTON, is better suited for Governor
than our candidate, we will say then
put him up and we will help elect
him: but that name has not yet been
mentioned, and YOU oan not find it
in our State. Put Darden Ia the
kind of man we want in our execu-
tive places-not politician in the
sense OF one who follows politics for
gain. but one who believes in the
principles Of good government, and
who follows his principles for their
own sake; and, as man, he devotes
his time and intellect to al.eviating
The one class upon whom rests our
entire hope of prosperity.
Now, Bro. Hobbs, if you want to
endorse Capt. Darden, endorse hun
for Governor, and don't escape the
issue by urging him for some other
place.
| We would not delract one iota
from what the Chronicle says in
praise Of Capt Darden, but Us
we now have Governor whom We
believe is honestly trying--and with
gratifying successful do exactly
what it says he would do, we see nj
necessity for a change. Besides
the Captain is comparatively young
yet, and he can easily afford to wal
four years longer. We therefore in
