months on the trip.

How much longer will old fogyism

DIR. A. B. Ramsey arrived Thurs
day, and will spend about a week

his profession. While his many old
friends here would have been glad

1t begins to look very much like
the Democrats of Warren county will
have to hold a convention or a pri-
mary election to nominate candidates
for county offices. Owing to the
multiplicity of Democrats seeking
some of the offices, it would be an
easy matter for the Republicans to
run in their men. Democrats should
not be deluded into the notion that
the F. & l.. Union or any other ties
will pull off a single Republican vote
if they have a ticket out.
We have just received from the
publishers, /. S. Johnson d Co., %
Custom House Street, Boston, Mass,
a very fine portrait likeness of Jeffer-
son Davis, with autograph signature.
The publishers assure us the plates
for it were engraved for them by one
of the most famous houses in Ameri-
ca. The size is 12x16, and has every
appearance of an exquisite Sepia
Etching. 1t will be sent to any adj
dress by mail for % cents.
Col. P. H. Marbury will leave in
a few days for Riverside, Ala, where
he will make his home in future with
his son, Mr.. j. G. Marbury. Col.
Marbury has been a resident of Nc.
Minnville for "A years, and is proba-

was here when he moved to the
place. Some "reminiscences of the
McMinnville of long ago from him
would be quite interesting, and we
would be glad if he could find time
to write them up for the STANDARD.
We believe the management of
the N. G. & st. l.. Railway is dispOs-
ed to furnish the people along all the
lines of its great system all the con-
veniences and accommodations con-
sistent with the amount of patronage
received, and we believe people and
newspapers unjustly censure rail-
roads a great deal. The service OF
the branch on which McMinnville is
located has been steadily improved
every year since it came into the
hands of the n. & G. Road. The
business of the road has also increas-
nd enormOnslv. and we certainly
