Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1888-11-03

falrDanKS spoke 10 g0Ou croWd at
Vervilla Thursday. They carried
the Bedford Brass Band out with
them, and again today (Friday) to
Jacksboro. Col. Savage announced
himself as a candidate for the Legis-
lature.
BY an advertisement to be found
elsewhere, it will be seen that w. A.
Johnson, real estate agent, will sell
some valuable building lots on the
18th of this month, at auction. They
are comprised in what is known as
the Campbell property on West Main
and Hill streets, and are the most de-
sirable building lots in town.
Hon. T. M. Mcconnell spoke
here to a small but very appreciative
audience Wednesday. We believe
he made the best speech we have
listened to in this campaign. 1t was
logical, forcible and convincing. He
held the strictest attention of his
crowd for nearly two hours. We
only regret that every voter in the
county did not hear him.
1t gives us real pleasure to rec
Ommend to our farmer friends such
a sterling agricultural journal as the
Country Gentleman, published at
Albany, n. Y. 1t contains twenty
large pages every week, and its read
ing matter is always good. The reg
ular subscription price of the Country
Gentleman is $3.50 per year, but we
will send it and the STANDARD both
one year for 1915. If you want to
supply yourself with good reading
matter, try this combination.
Judge Smallman has appointed
Mr.. Irving Smith as Circuit Court
Clerk, to fill out the unexpired term
of Mr.. A. j. Curl, decd. Mr.. Smith
is worthy young gentleman, and
in every way qualified for the duties
of the Office. The appointment is
commended by all who know him:
We have some elegant English
seal plush Mojescas sent us by one OF
the largest cloak manufactures in
the United States to sell for them.
These goods are the latest styles and
best quality of English seal plush, land
they can be bought 20 per cent cheap
er than anywhere else.

-Messrs. Murray and Case, the
electors for this district, had joint
discussion here Wednesday afternoon
Mr.. Murray has won honors enough
over his distinguished opponent a
other points in the district for us t
, exercise our modesty in praising hi
effort at home. Suffice it to say tina
he had the call on Col. Case in the ar
gument throughout the entire dis
cussion. Somehow, republican ora
tors can't make good speeches here
Our pure democratic atmosphere Op
presses them, and little democrati
docrine and argument lays then
} right out on the cooling board.
1t strikes us that McMinnvill
has about reached point in its his
tory when hog law should be en-
: acted. They are utterly destroying
e all the grass in the park, and it i
;. next to impossible to keep them out
a They are an eye-sore and nuisance O
the streets, and source of much ar
S noyance to many people. The Onl
t thing anybody can say in their fave
s is that they are good scavengers. Thi
is probably true, but McMinnville he
passed sufficiently beyond the incubs
: tion period of villagehood to have
!. scavenger force to look after this ma
v ter. A few little ten cent negroes ca
Is be hired to do such work cheapt
than the cost of destruction to yard
>, gardens, ETC., which hogs occasion
y Other towns are advancing in tn
- matter, and McMinnville should kee
4 up with the procession.
!, We direct attention of our reaC
ers to the new advertisement of \
