The Tullahoma Republican gives
the plan of large two-story graded
school building to be erected at that
place, the contract for which will be
let soon. If Tullahoma keeps on
making such progressive steps it will
catch up with McMinnville in advan-
tages and attractions after a while.
Col. f. w. Munford on last Mon
day presented to DR.. Stainback and
wife his beautiful white mare, "Nel-
lie." This mare is splendid animal
and has always been a favorite with
the Colonel. The Colonel's gener-
osity is only equalled by his good
looks and proverbial good humor,
and the gift was warmly appreciated
by the recipients. 1t was but a mark
of the high esteem in which they are
held by all of the Doctors congrega-
ton, as well as the community at
large.
Mr.. Geo. w. Lewis, has aban-
doned his idea of moving to Pulaski,
and has purchased an interest in the
barrel factory at this place. We are
glad to know that Mr.. Lewis will re-
main here, as he is progressive, en-
terprising young man whom we
could ill afford to lose. He has taken
active charge of the factory and they
are now working all the timber they
can get.
The announcement of Mr.. G. n.
M. Newly for Trustee and Tax Col
lector, will be found in our announce
ment column this week. Mr.. Newly
enjoys an extensive acquaintance
over the county, and all who know
him commend him as a man of ster-
ling worth and integrity. He is pop
ular with his friends and will be hard
to beat.
We have letters from two young
men at Richmondale, Ross Co., Ohio,
who are soliciting correspondence
with Southern girls with view to
matrimony. They are Messrs. John
Higgins and George Stevens. They
both claim to be young and good
looking, and want to find good
wives. A subscriber to the STAN
DARD in that neighborhood recon-
mends them both as respectable
young men. If any of the fair readers
of the STANDARD wish to attract en-
igrants from that section, an oppor-
tunity is here offered.

we noted last week, died at her home
in Dyersburg, Tenn, on the night Of

this place on Saturday afternoon, and
were inferred in the burying ground
at Liberty Church, on Sunday. The
funeral services were held in Liberty
Church on Sunday morning at II
O'Clock, by DR.. G. T. Stainback, and
were attended by large circle of sor
rowing and sympathizing relatives
and friends. Mrs. Dickey was the
youngest daughter of Dr. II. C. Smart
She leaves a husband and three chill
dren, who have the profound sym
pathy of our entire community il
this, the saddest affliction which
could befall them.
