WOMEN At AUCTIONS.

Household Goods ut Public Sale.
If you ever have occasion to sell
your household effects at auction you
will have your eyes opened to the
strange valuation placed on goods by
the sort Of people who persistently fol-
low such sales or make them their BUSH
ness. DESTROYS of quitting housekeep-
ing, determined to close out my
household effects at one of these auc-
tons. The things not reserved had
cost me about 800, and I realized
about $500. Sometimes q man nets
half of the original cost, but l was not
so lucky. If he gets so cents on the
dollar after eight or ten years. use Of
the goods he has no reason to COM
plain. But to my sale. We had fixed
every thing in good shape, and, of
course, expected the most valuable
things to bring the most money. That
is just what did not happen. The crowd
that goes to these sales go con-
tary to assumed principles of business.
Those who purchase may be divided
into two classes. All are there for
bargains. There are the junk men
and secondhand men, who get the bar
gains, and the ladies, who pay big
prices. You never knew a woman who
was not crazy to attend an auction.
When house is sold out in the neigh
borhood all attend chiefly out of
curiosity, but they soon lose their
heads and fall victim to the auc-
tioneer. Every lady in the vicinity
was on hand when my sale took place.
When the valuable furniture was sold
they kept aloof, and saw with chagrin
whole sets of high-priced furniture
knocked down for a song to second
hand dealers, who would resell them
at hundred per cent. profit. Thought
/ would get nothing from the sale, and
when M pictures were put up was
mortified and disguised. They could
scarcely be given away and went for
five cents on the dollar. What was nv
establishment, however, when l heard
the ladies, who had been silent, begin
to bid eagerly for small and cheap
things for which would not have given
any thing. A great deal of stuff had
anticipated would be Jumped and
turned over to some old junk dealer
was taken by ladies who had their
houses filed with fine goods: The ap-
parent cheapness and small amounts to
be spent caught them. For instance,
an old hose almost worn out brought
as much as a new one would cost; and
q students lamp, discarded because it
refused to work, was sold for more
than I had paid for it. The worst of
all, a back-stairs carpet, made up of
scraps and tackled down, was knocked
off for double as much as had been
paid for the original new piece before
it was mended. And so it went. The
sale of the small things brought up the
average, and most of my poorest eff
fects were carted off by ladies who
could have bought them new for the
same price they had paid.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Unable TO KEEP 1T Up.

The alleged enthusiasm Of IndiananE
over the nomination of Harrison is wan.
ing. The newspapers are unable to
keep it up. Eyou the people Of his own
Stutc are becoming convinced thnt
there is nothing in Harrison to eutitIe
him TO lauda:ion. The intelligence of
the people is too advanced to permit
him to make capital ont of tho fact that
he can claim an illustrious grandfather.
Every day the commonness Of the man
is being more fully established, and tho
fuct that he has many peers in Indian
spolis detracts from the admiration
with which it IL oudeayored to have the
people regard him. In addition to his
luck Of distinctive individuality he, I'M
fortunately for his success in the race
for President, has so long beeu regard
oil rs champion of corporations, with
adverse views upon MI questions in
volving tho lettering of the condition
of the luboring classes, that oil mem-
bsrs Of the latter class regard his sup
port by them rs suicidal policy. 1t
matters not what his particular utter
ance was in reference to what he con-
ridered fair compensation for laboring
man, no attempt will DO made to prove
that Harrison ever favored the laborer
receiving the major portion of the
profits OF his toll. His race prejudice is
the only thing that can give him clnim
to prominence. Upon no other ques-
ton has lie ever made record worthy
Of mention. But the mention of such
record is not calculated to win him
many votes. The man who favored
Chinese immigration and naturaliz itiou
Rnd StigmatizsS our Irish-American; rs
"ouly fit to dig i'll the ground" will
never lie President of these United
States. Six millions CT Irish people
who owe allegiance to the Union will
oppose the effort to place him in the
Executive chair, and the influence of
this element will wrest from him the
electoral vote of the State in which he
lives. II Evening Report.

a Horse Breaking Machine.

G. F. Shedd, of Laramie, Wyoming,
has boon engaged for the last three
weeks in building corrnls and erecting
horse breaking machine mile above
town on James H. Bush's place. He
has pntent for the plant, which con-
sists principally of chutv where a
horse is run into and 80 nicely confined
he caunot hurt himself or any one en-
deavoring to handle him. In this
place he is handled sufficiently to tame
and gentle him and the biting rig is
put on nnd II swing door Of tie chute is
opened aud the horse is let out into the
corral. He is then driven around and
led by hnlter and finally haruessed
and driven to wagon.
Mr.. Shedd claims that he can break
n carload Of wild horses, in n week or
l'ss, so that they can be handled and
driven in n wagon. His object is to
make O business Of breaking horses.

The Weeks News from Irving College


Irving College, Tenn, Oct, 9.-The
Sam Jones meeting and the Bates raj
ly are both matters of history, and
each in its turn created a considerable
sensation in this community. Bates
created unbounded enthusiasm here
and will rally to his support every
true Democrat on Collins river who
is able to get to the polls. You can
have but a faint idea of the interest
manifested unless you had been pres
ent. He was met by 400 people three
miles below and received three
cheers, when procession nearly a
half mile in length was formed and
escorted him to the grove at Hebron
where a stand had been erected, and
beautifully decorated by the young
ladies. All along the line of march
it was one continual round of cheer
ing. Such an outburst of enthusiasm
was never witnessed on Collins river
before. When the procession reached
Hebron it was ascertained that the
old men and old women were here;
the young men and young women
were here; the boys and girls were
here, and there were simply none left
at home. Let this lamp of Democrat
ic enthusiasm burn until the ides of
November in all communities, and
sweeping victory awaits us all along
the line.

Sanitation.

The people of McMinnville having
always enjoyed immunity from cpl
demic diseases, have come to believe
that the town is absolutely impreg-
nable to such ills. Too much such
confidence and carelessness = may
bring a fearful awakening at no very
distant day. The fact cannot be de-
MED that there has. been more sick
ness than usual within the last year
or two, and cases of fever of a more
or less malignant type are growing
quite frequent. There is a cause for
this, and it can be told in a single
word of five little letters-filth. Just
right quietly among ourselves we
want to say that the sanitary condi-
ton of McMinnville isn't what it
should be. We believe every ply
stefan in town will endorse the state
ment that there are many private
premises which need attention, and
need it bad. There are many places
in which filth and offal have been ac-
cumulating for years, and the only
sanitary measure ever adopted is to
sprinkle a little lime around in hot
weather. The town needs general
cleaning up, and now is the time to
do it. Filth is filth in winter time
as well as in summer, and while not
so liable to breed disease, it is danger
Gus to have around. The town should
have a regular paid health officer,
Whose duty it should be to inspect all
premises, public or private, and with
power to enforce their proper renova-
ton 1t is easier to pay negro fifty
cents a day to clean up and haul of
dead matter than a funeral undertake
err five dollars an hour to dress up
and haul off dead people. CLEANLINESS
and good health are far preferable tC
disease and doctors bills.

"There's Millions IN IT," Perhaps.

The STANDARD, in common with
all other good newspapers,is nadvo-
cate of home enterprises. We favor
the establishment of every enterprise
which will make or save money to
the people Of this county, and always
encourage liberal patronage Of such
home enterprises by our own people.
With this laudable object in view,
we have suggestion to make. Our
observation for the last decade of
years has taught us that if there is
one institution to which the people of
McMinnville and Warren county ex-
tend a more free and liberal patron
age than anything else, it is a circus.
The merit of the concern is matter
of small moment. Anything in the
nature ola circus always draws big
crowd at McMinnville. Many hun
dreds, yea thousands, of dollars have
been carried out of this county by
circusses. Now in order to save all
ofthis money to our people in future,
we suggest that our folks 60 into the
show business and get upa circus of
their own. We just consider this one
of the most brilliant ideas which has
been advanced here "since the woods
was burnt" and of course we will
expect pocket full of free tickets, all
calling for reserved seats. Just think
what boom it would give ourtoWn.
Wouldn't it sound immense to have
people everywhere reading on the
big colored show pictures, "McMinn-
viIle'S Magnificent, Mammoth, Mon
umental Aggregation of Worlds
Wonders Most Colossal Consol-
idatiOn on Earth. Gorgeous, Daz.
zling, Marvellous, Matchless, Trans
cendantly Wonderful, Hurrah, Glory
Halleluyah and Fireworks" All oil
the other towns in the State would
tie green with envy, and Tullahoms
would have committee here trying
to trade us out of it in less than three
days. Talk about factories, ant
mills, and iron furnaces, and coke
ovens, and such-they amt nowhere
to a circus. A circus will get the bot
