The New Board.

The election for Mayor and Alder

Jesse Walling; Aldermen, A. H,

E. Jones, Thos. Black, M. M. Phelps.
The new board met and organized
last Saturday. A. H. Gross was elect.
ed Recorder and E. G. Mead, Treas,
urer. Messrs. M. M. Phelps, M. A
Doty, and j. f. Jones elected street
commissioners.
The Board now has the high school
matter under consideration, and we
understand that it is very probable
the tax will be levied this year anC
the school put in operation as soon as
possible. DR.. Black and Mr.. j. E
Jones were appointed as a committee
to investigate the Ben Lomond Col
| lege property, and see if it can bC
utilized for high school.

DR.. John Smartt.

The following personal notice of
DR.. John Smart, which we clip from
the Bentonville Journal, will doubt
less be read with interest by many of
his relatives and friends living in this
county. DR.. Smart was born and
raised at this place, and although
quite an old man now, is still able to
practice his profession and attend to
other important business. The fol-
lowing is the notice referred to:
DR.. John Smart is one Of the most
remarkable men we have ever met.
He has passed that period in life
when men commonly abandon the
active pursuits, yet there is not a
middle aged man in Benton county
who is more actively engaged. He
has an extensive practice, and in adj
dition to this he is full of public spirit,
always in the lead in every good
work. AS President of the Benton
vile Railway Company he has been
dilligent and faithful, and for the past
month has been active in the work of
securing the extension Of the road.
First in Bentonville, the next day in
Sloan and the next in Bloomfield,
arousing the people to the work OF
securing the extension to the Terri
tory line; the next you hear Of him
he is in st. Louis comforting with the
Frisco officials, and before you know
it he is back in BentOnville, and on
his horse ready for another trip. II
seems that the man never tires. TIC
him, personally, there is little or nc
profit in all this. 1t simply fidelity
to trust reposed in him by friends
In no other climate could a man o.
his age, and former active life, hold
up under such a mental and physical
strain.

Cents Till Jan. l, 1887

To sustain us in this very liberal
offer we ask our friends everywhere
to use their best efforts in securing us
a big boom of new subscribers. We
want to place the STANDARD in every
family in Warren and adjoining
counties, and we think this offer af-
fOrds sufficient inducement to do so.
The STANDARD will give an ear
nest support to the nominees of the
Democratic State and Congressional
Conventions, and will give as much
of the general political news of the
State as its space will permit.
The gubernatorial canvass this year
will be much shorter than usual. The
time between the conventions and
the elections will not admit of as full
canvass by the candidates for Gov
ernor as usual, and the people will
have to depend more largely upon
newspapers for information.
Every friend of the STANDARD can
send us one or more subscribers. We
want to double our list for the cam
paign. Won't you help us?

To the Standard;
The good people Of this neighbor-

at OaklaWn, near Mr.. John Duncan's,
with John Green, Esq, at the head.
Prof. Clendennen has charge Of the
young ladies and gentlemen, and has
proven himself to be a valuable in
structor; while Miss Sallie Duncan
who looks after the ''little folks" is
always found at her post trying to
instill into their youthful minds
something that would benefit them in
after life.
John B. Biles left for Cincinnati

From the Athens (Ga.) Banner Waterman
Uncle Dick Saulter says: Fifty years
ago had running ulcer on my leg which
refused to heal under any treatment. In
1853 | went to California and remained
eighteen months, and in 1873 visited Hot
Springs, Ark, remaining three months, but
was not cured. Amputation was discussed,
but I concluded to make one more effort.

weeks ago. The ffty-year.old sore on my
leg is healing rapidly, and yesterday

ing without any pain, and before using the
B, B. B. could not walk exceeding half q
mile. sleep soundly at night for the first
time in many years. To think that six bot.
ties have done me more good than Hot
Springs, eighteen months in California,
besides an immense amount of medicines
and eight or ten frst-class physicians, will
convince any man on earth that it is a
wonderful blood medicine. 1t has also,
cured me of catarrh.

have the appearance of genuine

worth possessing as a curiosity, as

The Change of Gauge.

The work of changing the gauge of
the Southern railroads will begin next
Tuesday, on which day the line from
Tullahoma to Sparta will be narrow
ed from five feet to four feet nine
inches. The Fayetville branch will
be changed on Wednesday, the Leba-
non branch on Thursday, the North
western division on Friday and Sat
urday, and the main line between
Nashville and Chattanooga on Mon
day, May 3lst. The N, c. & st. l..
Railroad will make all these changes
with its regular force of 600 section
hands, transferring them each day to
the division to be changed. The
Louisville and Nashville system will
all be changed on Sunday, May 30th.
The regular schedule over the
Sparta road will be suspended next
Tuesday. Conductor Harris will
take the hands, some 400 or 500 in
number probably, up to Sparta Mon
day night, and will work the force
from Sparta to Tullahoma Tuesday.
The mail train will run from Tulla-
homa to Sparta, over the new gauge
Tuesday night. One engine and lot
of new trucks for the cars are now at
Tullahoma. All the cars now used
on this line will be raised there and
the new trucks substituted. The
spikes from every alternate cross tie
have already been drawn and set
three inches further in. All that is
to be done on Tuesday is to draw the
remaining spikes, slip the rails in the
required three inches, and fasten
them.
The changing of the track alone
will cost the N, G. & st. l.. Railroad
100000, to say nothing Of the more
expensive part of changing the en-
gines and trucks. Twenty engines
belonging to this road will have to
be retired from service, as their con-
struction willnot permit of the change

Piles are frequently preceded by a

Green, Pink and Blue Dim ers

A green dinner is one given to the girl who
is to come out next winter. The table is dec
GRATED with smilax and green leaves; all the
names are inscribed ON green ribbons, which
extend from the center of the table, radiating
to each guest, with the name of the person to
whom it is addressed written, in gold, on the
ribbon.
At enc opulent dinner table all the glass
was of that pale green tint which looks so
cool, and china with green edge was used
There were bouquets of green leaves of differ
ent tints, and few buds still in their green
sheath. All the varieties of green vegetables,
as asparagus, spinach, and lettuce, were freely
experimental upon, and salmon with a
green sauce was of course in order
At pink dinner for rosebud the whole
table was couleur de rose; glass, china and
table cloth were all of roseate complexion
The pink lamp shades and pink roses, the rib
bons and pink damask cloth, made for once a
pretty novelty. Pink fans, Of course, accom-
panied this pink dinner. This was given to a
debutante as the first dinner of her coming
out winter. In this one can see the influence
Of Wagner, who uses the diapason Of color so
freely in his operas-a quality much spoken
of by Mr. Haweis. Thus every one remem-
bers the whiteness of "Lohengrin," the swan
being the keynote, and the redness of "Meph-
