Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1885-06-27

such inquiries as the above in re-
gard to voting the Republican ticket,
are very amusing to people who live
IN tennessee, and none are more
keenly alive to the absurdity of such
inquiries than the Northern people
who have moved here since the war.
and who vote the Republican ticket
with all diligence.
The X. X. X. have no existence in
the South to-day. Their only abid-
ing place is in the minds of few peo-
pie III the North who take no pains
to inform themselves of the true con-
dltion OF things in the New South, or
else are too narrOW-minded to believe
the truth about the South, no matter
how forcibly it may be impressed
upon them. The Republican papers
OF the North have always contained
great deal more of the skull, cross
bones, coffin, and Arkansas toothpick
business than ever existed in the
south. a mans political views has
nothing whatever to do with his So
cal standing in Tennessee today.
The majority Of our people are too
much absorbed in business, agricul-
tural and industrial pursuits to take
any interest in political agitations.
we are building solid walls of pros
perity, and have neither time nor in
clnation to stir up political strife and
war anlmosities. Demagogues and
political tricksters, of whatever party.
are losing their sway in Tennessee,
and the men who lead the popular
heart here in future must be states
men, not mere politicians. 1t makes
no difference what a mans political
1alth may be, for whom or for what
party he casts his ballot, on what side
ne has stood or fought in the past, or
what section of the country he halls
rom, II he comes among us with an
honest purpose to build up his own
fortunes and aid in the upbuiIding of
the great New South, and conducts
himself as a gentleman and law-abid-
ing citizen, he will be welcomed into
our hearts and homes. He will be
extended every privilege and every |
courtesy Of a noble, generous and
chlvalric people.
We have thousands of acres of idle
lands yearning for the touch of skill
1ul cultUrists, and other thousands of
almost virgin forests rich in mer-
charitable timber, while our noun
talnS hold mineral resources of I'M
told magnitude. We have room and
a welcome for workers, but no place
or positions for idlers. If the people
OF the North will throw their preiu-
dlceS to the winds, and come and see
the New South as it is, they will be
readily convinced that we make no
ldle boasts. We are rejoiced to know
that thousands of them have visited
the South, have been delighted and
charmed with what they saw, and
have gone back to their homes lavish
IN their praises of our country and
our people.
There are no Government or State
lands in this section of Tennessee
subject to entry or homestead, and
none in the State that we have anv
knowledge of-certainly no desirable
lands. There are thousands of acres
Of unimproved lands, both open and
which can be bought for ]
Sl.OOto $500 per acre, while improved
farms command from $1,000 upward. t
Much Tennessee land has been
badly abused by a miserable system {
Of cultivation, or rather want of anv S
system, but the greater part of it is
Of improvement and a
nigh state of cultivation.
No other section of the State pre-
'ents 50 more advantages for diversi- .
led farming than Warren county.
The soil of this county, if properly C
illed, will produce to a profitable ey- !
ent almost any known crop, to saw
nothing gifts very superior advan- t
ages for stock raising. Our climate II
md water are unsurpassed by anv a
'ther section of the union.
In conclusion we will remark that ,
Warren county has between four and /
tx hundred Republican voters, and =
Turing residence of nine years in {
he county we have yet to hear of the
irSt case of a man being molested or
nteriered with in the least for voting O
lis preference. d
