sequently it is more pleasant.
Some work is going on at this
time on our school house.
Mrs. A. j. Brewer has had quite a
lot of company for the last few days
from Woodbury.. All have returned
home except Miss Maud Elledge,
who will probably spend couple Of
weeks with her cousin.
Mrs. W. ID. Northcut has been
visiting here for the past two weeks
also her mother, Mrs. G. A. Brewer
Mr., b. F. Tarpley and wife, also
their neice, Miss Mollie Tarpley,

CONVENTION NOTES.

Wild and woolly, but strictly denl-
ocratic.
Polk county had a delegate who
wanted to break instruction.
Let's have harmony, gentlemen.
Democratic success demands it.
Keep personalities out, boys. Keep
cool and work like democrats.
Laps Walker makes speciality of
common sense. Laps is all right.
The proxy revives, and is making
a hefty effort to "bob serenely up"
Pat Fleming is unquestionably the
handsomest man in the convention.
The delegates are in fine trim. The
atmosphere of McMinnville is brac-
ing.
When Russell, of Hamilton, rises
to address the convention something
always "draps."
Bledsoe broke. That's a funny
chairman of the Bledsoe delegation,
but he is mighty good Democrat.
1t was a wild and woolly democra-
cy last night, and the tap of the chair
mans gavel could not be heard in
the rabble.
The handwriting can be seen. II
Snodgrass can't be nominated, the
strength of Snodgrass will go to

That bouquet presented to the chair
from the ladies of McMinnville would
have been appreciated had not jim

Committee, and the candidate
receiving the highest number of votes
to be declared the nominee of the
party.
Mr.. Murray of Warren, moved
the adoption of the preamble and
resSution. Strong speeches mere
made for the resolution by Messrs.
Spurlock and Murray of Warren, and
against it by Messrs. Walker of
Hamilton, Traynor of Bradley and
Russell of Hamilton. Wild scenes
of confusion characterized the con-
ventiOn during this discussion. Mr..
Skillern of Hamilton finally made a
motion to table the resolution. The
call of counties had been made and
the Bates vote went solid for tabling
the resolution while the Snodgrass
vote was against it, but before the
result was announced the vote of
Hamilton county was challenged.
Amidst the greatest confusion and
disorder the Hamilton and other
county delegations retired to consult.
When the convention was again
called to.order the preamble and
resolution was withdrawn, and the
convention adjourned to eight O'Clock
this morning.
IN CAUCUS.
after the adjournment the friens Of
Bates went into caucus in the
convention hall, and those Of
Snodgrass assembled at the court
house for the same purpose. Both
caucusses were in session until nearly

To the Pupils of Our Schools.

AS many of our schools have now
commenced wish to give you a lit
tie advice.
Our schools do not last very long,
and many of you will never obtain
any other education than that which
can be obtained in our free schools
therefore, it is very important that
you should make the best possible use
of the short time that you have to at
tend school.
In the first place, then, l recon.
mend that you keep yourselves well
supplied with paper, pens and ink
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1888-07-20
Also, you ought to keep, at all times,
a good "scratch book"

~A"o, W" ouShV W hCCpi NJ oil tlHlec,
a good "scratch book"
Writing and spelling are two things
that are grossly neglected in our
schools. Many Of you wait until you
are fifteen or sixteen years of age, be-
fore you begin to write, and then
your hand writing, your spelling, and
your language are so bad that you
are ashamed to have them seen by
your teacher. But, you should re-
member that no one is ever too old
to learn. Therefore, you should
write little during every day that
you attend school. Your teacher will
often suggest something to you about
which you can write. This practice
will greatly improve you, and pre-
pare you for the duties of life. Many
Of those who applied for certificates
in Warren, seemed to talk very well,
but when they came to write the
answers to the questions proposed for
them, they made many blunders in
spelling and in the use of language.
You should learn to write a neat
and pretty letter to any of your cous,
ms, uncles or aunts who may reside
in some distant land. The time is
coming when no applicant for a GER
tificate will ever obtain one unless he
is able to write respectable business
letter with the heading, the address,
the salutation, and the body of the
letter, all properly written.
| now wish you to observe, for
several weeks, two planets, Jupiter
and Mars, which are now visible in
the southern sky. Jupiter is little
east of south at nine o'clock p. m
AT the same time Mars is about thir.
ty degrees west of south. You may
think that these two bodies are stars
they are not stars, but planets. You
will perceive that they do not twinkle
like stars if you look steadily at then
for several minutes.
These two planets are moving east
wardly, but Mars moves mucl
|
faster than Jupiter, and in about ont
month Mars will be near Jupiter anC
will soon pass him. Look at thes,
planets from night to night and MAKE
a short note of them. This will teacl
you to write something about any
thing that may come under your OBJ
servation.
On next Sunday night there will b
a total eclipse of the moon. This !
always a fine sight, especially whel
the sky is clear. The eclipse will be
gin little before ten o'clock, and j
will not disappear until about tw
O'Clock. Write something about thi
} eclipse in your scratch book, an
keep your record until anothe
} eclipse appears. Observe that tn
} eclipse will begin on the east sid
and pass over to the west side.
We expect to have a meeting {
teachers in September, and I hop
they will all be able to report tbs
their pupils are learning well.

LOST

In this and adjoining counties
there are hundreds of men and wo-
men, young and old, who have lost
great amount of cash and valuable
time from the lack Of opportunities;
and there is now the greatest oppor-
tunity ever offered to you in this vi
entity, which you must not fail to in
vestigate. Time is money, and one
half of the people have the largest
amount of their capital invested in
time. This does not pay|you. Now
we want 1000 energetic men and an
other 1000 ladies to work for us in
this and other States, on one of the
best selling articles in the United
States. Work is easy ana pleasant;
chances for promotion are great. The
possibilities of the business are great,
and the pay is far better than you
may first imagine. We. want men
and ladies with energy, pluck and a
disposition to make money, to call
on us and be convinced that you can
go with us into the adjoining coun-
try during this Fall and Winter,
and make yourself good sum of
cash; see the country and people,
and have a good, pleasant time. You
cannot afford to let this chance slip
through your fingers. Life is short
and time is but borrowed. We must
improve it, or regret sooner or later
that we were so prodigal of our mis-
spent days. We have been in this
country since the first of this year,
and the merits of our goods are too
well-known by the citizens ofthis
country to need any comment.

NIGHT SESSION.


NIGHT SESSION.
The convention was called to order
by chairman Robson at 1880 p. IN.
and the 3O1st and 302d ballots called,
with no change in result.
Mr.. Spurlock of Warren county,
then got the floor and read the follow
ing paper:
Whereas, the friends of the Hon.
Creed +. Bates claim that they
represent the majority of the
Democracy of the Third Congressional
District, and #sTe.
Whereas, the friends of the Hon.
II. c. Snodgrass claim and feel that
but for the unjust and undemocratic
suppression of a large element of his
strength that relied in giving their
proxies upon the former presidents
of the party conventions, and
Whereas, the suppression of this
vote by the acting majority of this
convention has engendered a feeling
of bitterness that would probably
endanger the election of the nominee
should one be made, and
Whereas, the will of the people
expressed at the ballot box is always
by democratic principle the final
arbiter in all doubtful and dangerous
emergencies, and
Whereas, after long and patient
effort to make Nomination, it has
become apparent that none can be
madelby this convention, and
Whereas, it should be the wish Of
each delegation in this convention
subserve the party instead of theil
candidate, and it having become
apparent that the friends of each
candidate seem determined to hole
on to an unfortunate end.
Therefore, ina spirit of fairness
and having alone the welfare Of TIT
democracy ofthe Third Congressional
District at heart, the friends of TIL
Hon. II. c. Snodgrass tender thi
proposition for the consideration o
this convention:
That unless a nomination is mad
or before the 30Sth ballot, that thel
this convention do relegate the chOic
between the candidates before thi
convention to the democratic voter
of the Third Congressional District a
a primary election to be held at som
time to be fixed by the CongressiOna
Committee so as to give the cand
dates time to canvass the District
, the votes of this primary election t
be counted by said Congressionf
