The Receptions,

Time and space both being limited,
we are unable to give any extended.
account of the several receptions
given in honor of DIR. A. B. Ramsey
and bride during the last week. The
first was given by DIR. and Mrs. Thos.
Black, on Friday eveningoflast week.
A large crowd was present, and the
guests seemed to vie with each other
in seeing which could give and re-
ceive the greatest degree of enjoy
ment. The bountiful supper spread
on this occasion, was indeed a rich
feast, and was heartily enjoyed and
appreciated by all.
This was followed Monday night by
another reception at the delightful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. C. Biles,
this occasion being also a celebration
of the nineteenth marriage anniver-
sary of this estimable couple. An
other large crowd was also gathered
here, and the pleasure and enjoyment
of the guests only seemed to gather
impetus with the recurrence of the
festive occasions. The repast was a
rich and dainty feast of good things
to tempt the appetite and please the
palate.
The third and last of the series was
given by Mr.. and Mrs. ]. G. M. Ross,
on Thursday evening, and so pleas
ant was this occasion that the guests
were loath to tender their thanks and
say goodnight to the popular host
and hostess until the "wee sma
hours" of Friday morning.
McMinnville's fairestand queenliest
bellies shone out on these occasions in
all their dazzling radianceand lowell
ness, and the lustre of a number O
visiting young ladies blended harmo
niously into the enchanting pictures
And McMinnville's gallant and chiv
alrous young men paid princelycour
at the shrine of the fair.
We would like to enumerate TIT
names and costumes, but in a few
more hours this, with its complement
of news and general information

readers, and-we desist.
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1886-07-03

A man can no more hold himself
aloof from the thoughts of others than
from the sunlight and air around
him both will influence and form
him, whether he desires it or not. OF
course he can shut himself awayfrom
a large measure of either, and grow
pale and weak, bodily and mentally,
in consequence; but that will not
make what little power is left him
more entirely his own. The best
thinker is he who gladly welcomes
every aid, who is hospitable to every
thought, who weighs every opinion,
respects every honest conviction, and
gratefully adopts such ideas as APP
prove themselves to his judgment,
yet at the same time so works over
all he receives in the crucible of his
own mind that the gold is purified
and the dross expelled. When he
gives it to others by lip or pen, it is
not less, but more his very own than
if he had not enriched his mind from
so many sources.

Education.

We call attention to the advertise
ment in our columns of one of the
first Schools for Young Ladies in the
Union-we refer to Wesleyan Female
Institute, Staunton, Va. This college
has corps of twenty-five accomplish
ed teachers and officers especially
trained for their respective positions.
The number educated in this time
honored school reaches into the thou
sands. Its graduates are sought for
as teachers far and wide. It's superior
and varied facilities for a useful
and ornamental education, and the
Christian care and attention bestow-
ed, make it just such a college home
as every parent desires for his daugh-
ter. The late Bishop Doggett says:
sits course of study is ample, its
faculty accomplished, its instruction
both solid and elegant, its personal
accommodations healthful, comforta-
BILE and tasteful, its discipline emil
nently judicious, its atmosphere
salubrious, and it possesses all the
facilities for thorough education"
Rev. DIR. Harris, the President, has
been called a national educator, and
the enviable reputation has been fair
ly earned, for there is not State in
the South that has failed to pay its
tribute by sending its daughters to
him, and but few in the North. With
the superior advantages offered and
the low price, it is not strange that
this institute has attained the proud
eminence of having over 100 boarding
pupils from twenty different States.

MntionaI Mutunl Lifc Associntion.

The excessive cost of old-time insurance
has done much to accelerate the growth of
assessment associations. Among one fast
growing into popular favor is the National
Mutual Life Association of Washington, ID.
@. The affairs Of this association are eco
nomically managed. Its losses have been
promptly paid; some before assessments
were made therefor. The association al
ways keeps sufficient money on hand to pay
losses without depending alone upon as
sessments to enable 1t to pay promptly.
