Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1889-02-23

The McMinnville Standard quotes
the Athens Post as saying that cotton
raising has been found quite success.
full and profitable in Polk and Nc
Minn counties, the planters realizing
from SIS to $22 per acre. The Stand
ard thinks Warren county might
turn her attention to cotton raising
with profit. The Standard is erring
grievously. The profit on cotton for
the uplands of Tennessee is a delu-
sion and snare. 1t has ruined some
of the fairest lands of Tennessee, with
out any adequate return. Cotton is
something on which the farmer can
draw before it is made-hence its at
traction. fit realizes good figures
to the farmer for few years it is at
expense of the value of his land.
There are SO many other products to
which Tennessee land and climate
are so much better adapted that it is
unfortunate that any such portion
should degenerate into cotton rails
ing.-Nashville Herald.
We know the facts stated above to
be incOntrovertible, but this county
could swap offit brandy crop for any
thing else on earth without being
worsted. The apple crop in itself is
doing no injury to lands, but the eff
fects of brandy are blighting and
cursing scores of good men every
year, and through its destruction Of
true manhood letting more land &c
to waste than cotton raising ever
could. We don't believe cotton rails
ing could be made profitable in thi:
county, but brandy making is worse
BY it not only are lands and homes
ruined, but mems souls and bodies a:
well are destroyed.

NOc For Bridges.

1t looks like the experience of the
last week would be sufficient to in
duce the members of our county
court to take action toward the build
ing of bridges in Warren county. For
several days of the week the people
of varions sections of the county were
shut off from their neighbors by high
waters, and could neither receive or
send any mail matter, as the streams
all over the county were past fording.
The county is out of debt and amply
able to build some much needed
bridges. If the work was :undertak-
en- judiciously, it would require but a
small additional tax, and we believe
the people would cheerfully submit
to it. suggest that every magis-
trate in the county interview as
many citizens of his district as posi-
BILE on this question during the next
month, and then let the court give
an entire day to consideration and
discussion of the topic at the April
term. Start the ball rolling, and keep
it rolling till the bridges are secured,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. SATURAY, FEB. o. 1885,

Mr.. w. II. Ross left on Tuesday
afternoon for the eastern markets, to
purchase spring stock for the firm
j. G. M. Ross & Son. He will visit
New York, Philadelphia and Boston
on the trip, and place his orders di-
rect with the manufacturers, by which
means he will be enabled to get ex-
actly the goods to suit his customers,
and also give them every advantage
of the lowest prices.
-Ritchey and Bostick have just re-
ceived a fine lot of second crop early
rose potato seed. They are very
firm this year, country merchants, as
well as the letail trade supplied at
satisfactory prices. Those who have
used them know they are earlier and
better than any Northern grown
potato. Don't fail to try them. They
are as cheap as the Northern potatoes
and will give satisfaction.
"A letter has been dropped into
the McMinnville postofiice addressed
to "Bengimine Harrison" minus q
stamp, and is held for postage. 1t is
doubtless either an application for an
appointment or some advice to the
new President about how to run the
government, and he will probably
send the necessary postage to have il
forwarded as soon as he hears about
it.
Along with soap factory and
laundry, we would like to see 8
chair factory and wood finishing es
tablishment put up here. Numerou.
profitable enterprises like the above
could be carried on here by men O

tion is extended to come and investi

The Electric Lights.

We were a little too previous last
week in saying that our electric
lights would be shining before this is
sue was printed. Messrs. Max Cas-
pari and G. r. l.. Wilson arrived
from Chicago last Saturdays and have
been engaged all this week in getting
up the poles for the line. 1t will
probably be two or three weeks yet
before everything is in order and the
current can be turned on. The eight
street lights will be placed as follows,
one at each place named: DR.. RAM
sey's corner on West Main street,
crossing of Main and Chancery
streets, North side Square, South side
Square, crossing of Spring and Main
streets, intersection of Sparta andMain
streets, intersection of Donnell and
Spring streets near Presbyterian
church, and bend of Chancery street
near Mr.. Whitson's residence. This
gives the best effect of any distribu-
ton of this number of lights that
could be made. The Railroad Com
pany also takes an all night outside
light for the depot, and one will be
placed in the park Pavilion, to be
used when wanted. A majority of
the business houses will have the
lights.

A Mixed Compliment.

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore has a sense of
humor which is strong enough to make
her relish a joke, even when 1t is at her
own expense, and to relate it afterwards
with gusto. There is nothing that she
enjoys better than to get group of CO.
workers about her and amuse them with
stories for few moments-and then off
to work again. One of these stories
which Mrs. Livermore tells about herself
is this: She went to town in Maine to
deliver lecture. A young minister,
who felt greatly his importance in hav-
ing to introduce so large light, an
nounced her in these words:
Ladies' and Gentlemen: You have all
heard of the illustrious man across the
