Elder 7. B. Lar more of the

-Eluer Il. ID. Lar lllOr6 Oh the
Christian church, paid his many
friends at this place visit this week,
and preached one of his excellent ser
mons Wednesday.
In our columns today will be
found an advertisement of the mar
BILE works of L. G. Turpin, decd.
The works are being carried on by
the executrix, Mrs. Mary Turpin, and
she has secured the services of a first
class workman, who will be found at
the yard on Spring street ready to
show purchasers anything in the
yard. The large stock of material
now on hand must be sold at once,
and anyone desiring monuments or
tombstones can buy at great sacri-
flee at this yard now. All work
guaranteed to give satisfaction in
every particular.
The STANDARD office will supply
election tickets at $1.00 per thousand.
Candidates will find it advantageous
to place their orders early, so as to
get tickets well distributed. We can
furnish tickets in any quantity de-
sired on sort notice.
Wanted, in McMinnville, right
away, a dozen or more first-class,
good looking, gay and festive young
men, blondes or brunettes, with or
without moustache, any where from
twenty to forty years of age-no spid-
er legged dudes who part their hair in
the middle need apply. The town is
full of girls, and boys are scarce, and
the festivities of the last two weeks
have been rather trying on their con-
stitutions.
| r. M. Reams, of the STANDARD,
is in attendance upon the meeting of
the Tennessee Press Association at
Monteagle this week. We. would
have taken pleasure in joining him
on this trip, but we had to stay at
home and work in order that we
might present to our readers an inter-
esting paper.-New Era.
We are sorry our neighbor cannot
spare at least one of its editors for a
few days recreation. We fear the
boys over the way will need rest be-
fore dog days are over, and would ad.
wise them to let no opportunity pass
that can be spent so proftably as at
tending meeting of the Tennessee
Press Association. The "many read.
ers" of "the old reliable" would very
likely appreciate the rest.
We would like to tell you all
, about what that "Mikado tea" al
the residence of Mrs. Hill last Friday
night, was like, but time and space
forbid for you just ought to have been
there; if you were not you missed q
treat-as well as a good chance tc
treat somebody else. If we can be
excused for applying a little slang, il
! simply "took the cake" over any.
, thing we have had this summer. The
house was elegantly decorated with
natural flowers and plants, together
with aprofusion of Japenese fans, par
asoles, etc. The large yard, where
the refreshments were served, was
lighted with many-colored Chinese
lanterns so numerous that the whole
scene from a point of observation {
few yards away presented theappear
ance of a brightly illuminated nina
ture city in the distance. But those
: japanese costumes! Lots of folk
, said they were perfectly beautiful
. We reckon this editor is a crank, foI
his first impulse on beholding then
l was to run. We are going away OF
V the first train after this article is writ
= ten, and shall communicate with ou
r friends as to whether it is safe to re
turn this summer.
