THE MALE SCHOOL.
More Strong ENDORSEMENTS of the
Movement

.ft - tFf FiI40.
The interest in the proposed new
high grade school for boys and young
men expands and increases from day
to day. No enterprise which has
been suggested in McMinnville for
many years has met with such uni~
versal favor. All classes heartily
agree that we need the school and
should have it, that we have unsur-
passed advantages for such a school
in location, climate, ETC., and all seem
inclined TO aid the enterprise in a
substantial manner. Let everybody
turn out to the mass meeting tonight
friday, and give the work such a
start as will keep 1t moving till sue
cess is reached in every detail.
EDITOR STANDARD: Having been
called upon to express our attitude
toward the movement now proposed
looking to the establishment Of a
school of high grade in McMinnville
for boys and young men, we unhesi-
tatingly express our hearty approval
of the enterprise and will most glad
ly aid in any way we can toward the
accomplishment Of the desired end.
1t is needless to recount the bene-
fits to accrue to McMinnville and
Warren County from such an institu-
ton established here and successfully
maintained, for these are universally
recognized and acknowledged.
The requisites to success in the
mtterr are.
L, A suitable location for the build
ing, with proper surroundings.
., Sufficient funds to erect necessary
buildings and to furnish and equip
the school for the most efficient
work.
8, A competent faculty.
1, Patronage.
The first is already at hand in the
Ben Lo mond College lot which no
doubt can be easily secure to thenew
enterprise. Yts1 4EsBH
The sum of Sc, 900 would erect and
furnish buildings sufficient to accom-
modate two hundred and fifty young
men, and the well known liberality
of the people of McMinnville in mat
ter of this kind leaves no room to
doubt their ready contribution of all
the money needed.
This end being reached the third
and fourth essentials will easily and
naturally follow. The field will be q
most desirable and inviting one, and
will command the services of the
very best school men.
The widely known reputation OF
of McMinnville for health, morals,
social and religious culture, added tC
educational facilities of the best order
can not fail to attract a large patron
age from the beginning.
We find every where in our sum.
mer %canvassing for the Female Col
lege, parents who have boys to senC
away from home to school, and as {
rule they express a preference foi
schools located and surrounded jus
as this would be.
"Can you recommend a gooC
school for boys?" is a question W.
are frequently called upon to answer
A first class school in McMinnvill
for boys with a first class faculty, ant
first class appliances would b
from the outset and for oil time &
first class success. Respectfully,
FINNEY d PAsCHAL,

OFFICE SOUTHERN STANDARD,
McMinnville. February 2S, 1890.
Since last week there has been a de.
cline in both eggs and poultry. The
cold wave strengthened the
price of eggs but they have since
lost all they had gained.
Poultry has declined fully a cent
lower. Shippers say they are loosing
money at present and must reduce
prices until there is an improvement
in Eastern and Southern markets. In
consequence we quote hens, ducks and
turkeys at AZ cents. All our agents
will please take notice of this and
govern themselves accordingly. We
note some demand for stock peas.
We hear of but few peas for sale. We
quote them at 65c.
