Death of MIR. A. G. Beech.


A gloom was cast over this entire
community Wednesday morning by
the announcement Of the death of
Mr.. A. G. Beech. He died quite
suddenly of heart disease, at the home
of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. John
Beech, in this place, between four
and five o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing. He was on the streets Tuesday
afternoon, and was complaining of
feeling little unwell, but felt no
alarm of serious illness.
Mr.. Beech moved to this county
with his family from Nashville some
six or seven years ago, and had won
warm place in the hearts of all our
people. He was an exemplary Chris
tan gentleman, and man of gener-
Gus temperament and noble princi-
pies. He leaves a wife and two
grown sons, who have the warmest
sympathy of the entire community
in this sad hour of affliction. The re-
mains we taken to Nashville for
interment Thursday afternoon.

Hon. M. D. sandman.

In our columns this week will be
found the announcement for Circuit
Judge of the gentleman whose name
heads this article. No member of
the McMinnville bar enjoys more
fully the confidence and esteem of
our people than Mr.. Smallman. His
dignified bearing and courteous treat
ment of all classes makes him friends
Of all with whom he comes in con-
tact. The following endorsement
from the Smithville Waterman and
Critic is just testimonial of his quail
ifications and fitness for the position
he seeks:
eve have known him long and
intimately, and we know whereof
we speak when we say that he is an
honest, conscientious, upright chris
tan gentleman, and a good lawyer.
His life thus far has been most eXem
plary. With no one to guide or train
him in early youth savea kind moth
er, he has, by an honest, upright
course won the confidence and esteem
ofall who know him.
she has many army associates who
will testify to his many good quail
ties by having tested them on the
tented fields and amid the clash of
arms where mems souls are tried and
the stuff of which they are made is
fully developed.
"Mr. Smallman read law and COM
menced q successful practice among
strangers at this place in 1867. He
represented the Senatorial District in
the State Senate twice in succession
to the satisfaction of his constituents.
eve have seen him presiding over
the Circuit Court by the unanimous
vote of the bar, and to the satisfaction
of the people. His rulings and de-
cisions were clear, prompt and cour-
teous, showing research and ability,
dispensing justice without fear, favor
or Partially.
HE seems to have been "cut OUT
for a Judge, and we feel confident
that the people will have no reason
to regret their choice should they Sc
lect him to preside over our Circuit
Court for the next eight years"

The Columbia Bicycle Calendar.

A truly artistic, elegant and con-
venient work in chromo-lithography
and the letter press is the Columbia
Bicycle Calendar for 1886, just issued
by the Pope Manufacturing Company,
of Boston. Each day of the year
appears upon separate slip, with
quotation pertaining to cycling from
leading publications and prominent
writers on both sides of the ocean.
The notable cycling events are men,
toned; and concise opinions of the
highest medical authorities; words
from practical wheelmen, including
those of clergymen and other profes-
sional gentlemen; the rights ofcyclers
upon the roads; general wheeling
statistics; the benefits of tricycling for
ladies; extracts from cycling poems;
and much other matter interesting to
the public in general, and the cycler
in particular, appear from day to day.
In fact, into a little measure is
crowded in a highly attractive way
the past, present and future of
cycling;-a MISUNDERSTANDING
this universally utilized "steed of
steel" The calendar proper is
mounted upon back of heavy board,
upon which is exquisitely executed,
in water-colOr effect, charming COM
bination of cycling scenes by G. H.
Buck, of New York. A mounted
bicycler in uniform is sounding the
bugle-call while speeding past an
echoing lake. In another view a
party of bicyclers enjoying a spin by
the light of the moon. In another q
sprightly and pretty, and dainty
attired, lady tricycler bears evidence
of the delightfulness of this health
giving exercise. As a work Of con-
veninet art it is wOrthyofa place in
! office, library or parlOr.

Mr.. r. P. Baker, editor of the
Sparta Exrositor, was here a few
hours Thursday, and gave the STAN
DARD call in his rounds. He is
wide awake on the question of ma
king the Tennessee Press Association
a business institution, and will use his
influence to that end.
The house of VIM. Warren, in
the Mt. Zion neighborhood of this
county, was discovered on fire about
noon last Sunday, but fortunately the
flames were extinguished before any
serious damage was done. The mill
of Mr.. VIM. Swami, in the same
neighborhood, was destroyed by fire
only the Sunday before. 1t is not
definitely known whether the fires
were the result of somebody's care
lessness or of incendiarism, but what
ever the real cause may be, the peO-
pie of the neighborhood are consid-
erably troubled over the occurrences,
and will use due diligence to discover
the guilty parties, should there be
any.
The STANDARD does not claim
to give all the news of the world. We
give all the local news we can posi-
bly, get hold of, and then as much
general news and information as the
balance of our space will admit. If
our readers wish to keep fully posted
in regard to Congressional matters,
murders, suicides, and sensational
affairs in general, they should sub
scribe for a good daily, if they can af-
ford it, if net, then to one or more
good metropolitan weeklies. 1t must
be understood in all cBses that these
are to be taken in addition to the
STANDARD. ........
Lynchburg Falcon: The musical
concert at the court house, by Miss
Sallie Stones music class, was a
splendid success, and Notwithstanding
the GOODNESS of the night a crowded
house witnessed the exercises. Some
of the tableaus were superb. "Jacobs
Dream" was the most beautiful scene
we ever saw. The various solos by
the little girls were finely rendered,
The singing by some of the young
ladies was unexcelled. Upon the
whole, everybody as far as we could
learn, was highly gratified and well
entertained. The string band con.
tributed no small share to the ecldt Of
the occasion. The behavior was eX.
cellent and the whole entertainment
reflects great credit on the skill of the
chief manager, Miss Sallie Stone. She
deserves the honOrs, fairly won, as 6
music teacher.

Tennessee a Land of Promise.

The Wayne (Neb. Herald-Tribune
of the 18th inst, contains the follow
ing letter from DIR. r. B. Crawford,
one of the Northwestern Excursion
lists who visited McMinnville some
three or four weeks ago:
Eds. Herald Tribune: AS my stay
at Wayne is too brief before return
with the excursion to Tennessee,
dec 18th in answer the many ques-
lions of my friends please give me
little room in your paper to give a
general reply.
AS is already known l have just

the state of Tennessee and it is indeed

while on the bottom lands it borders
on the black, and seems quick to re-
spond to the touch of the farmer and

raised in the temperate zone.
THE CLIMATE.
The air is pure, healthy and invig'

cold to warm can be found by passing
from the lofty mountain tops to the
valley. But little snow is ever known
in the valleys, and pleasant, warm
weather far exceeds the bad.

land which has been held in large
tracts for many years by the landlord,
and which is covered with blue and
other grasses on which stock can
range and feed ten months out of the
year. The stock grower finds his re-
ward in giving his attention to rails
ing his thoroughbreds. Sheep rails
ing is particularly profitable, and
wool finds a ready market among the
home manufactures, fast being estab-
lished at many of the enterprising
towns.
VALUE OF LAND
varies from $l.00 to $50 per acre, but
good farms may yet be had from SO
to $25 which includes buildings, Or
chards, timber, &c.
TIMBER, IRON AND COAL
are abundant, in fact the finest timber
in any state can be found in Tennessee
and the mill man can here reap his
reward for industry, as all kinds Of
building and railroad material is in
demand. The richest iron and best
coal is found in the mountain sides
and the miner can revel in his profess
sion and grow rich. This cOmbina-
ton of timber, iron and coal cOntigu-
Gus to good markets is fast bringing
manufacturers to seek the advantage
of combining labor, capital and ma
terial and thus producing cheaply and
securing the loss by transporting raw
material.
SCHOOLS
Many of the schools / visited would
put to shame the schools of the North
in point of discipline, and thorough
method of teaching, and no northern
man moving there need fear his chill
dren will not secure good education.
CHURCHES
are numerous and of all denOmina-
tons, so all who desire can worship
where their conscierces dictate.
SOCIETY
is excellent. In travelling through
the state for three weeks / never saw
a drunken man, nor heard but three
swear. Everywhere sobriety and re-
finement prevails, and the sOciability
and hospitality of the people are un-
surpassed.
GAINESVILLE, CALLAHAN, Lebanon, Pu-
laske, Fayetteville, Winchester, Tul-
lahoma, McMinnville, Murfreesboro,
and Dixon are all good towns, filled
with wide awake, enterprising people
and any one seeking home in either
place will receive generous and cour-
teous treatment. In conclusion !
would say to the young men who are
seeking fortunes that the ladies Of
Tennessee are refined, educated and
beautiful, and if you are seeking a
wife as well as homes take trip to
Tennessee before you invest.
