The little park in the center of the town of McMinnville would be "a thing of beauty and a joy forever" if it was only protected from the rav ages of the town hog. If the people of McMinnville will have hogs on the streets, some provision should be made to at least keep them out of the park. If the corporation ha3 no offi cial whose duty it Is to look after this matter, it should be made somebody's duty. And it should be somebody's duty to see that the gates are always kept in good repair. Some months ago we suggested that a memorial association be form ed to look after the matter of beauti fying and keeping in order our ceme teries. This is a matter in which every inhabitant of the place should feci a deep interest. Our new ceme tery needs attention, and it should be given some better name than merely 'the new cemetery." We hope those who have friends and relatives buried there will take hold of the matter this spring and form the asso ciation. A little well directed effort w ill make the cemetery a much more j mum ii r 'im v.

The Fluent Photographic Work How Produced In McMinnville. Some soven or eight years ago when Mr. W. S. Lively went to tlu expense of adding a second story to a building then used by his father as a furniture store for a photograph gal lery, many thought he was making a very foolish investment, but the ven ture has proven a good one, and his efforts have been crowned with suc cess. He did first-class work from the start, and has kept pace with every improvement in the manner of producing, the best photographic work. He has recently added to his gallery a large lot of new scenery and accessories, and a new camera, the finest made by the American Optical Co., by which he is enabled to make photographs as large as Hxl7 inches in size. He is enabled with this in strument, to produce several attract- ve styles of pictures which he nev er made before, also to copy and en- arge old pictures to the best advan tage. It is one of the best instru ments made for getting fine views of buildings, natural scenery, etc. The work which Mr. Lively turns out is equal in every respect to that of the best city galleries, and this fact is se curing for him not only a good run of local custom, but people from all of the surrounding counties are now having work done by him in prefer ence to Nashville and other cities. Ie has reduced the prices on all large size pictures. It always gives us pleasure to note the success of any kind of business in McMinnville, and commend those so highly deserving of it as is Mr. Lively. Mr. Blair' sheath : Dr. Stainback has received a tele gram from Dr. A. B. Ramsey, dated at Philadelphia, East Tennessee, an nouncing that his mother-in-la'A',Mrs. Blair, had died at 5 o'clock Wednes day evening, the 12th inst. Mrs. Blair had been seriously ill for sever al weeks, and while the news was not unexpected it was none the less sad to her numerous friends here. Dr. Ramsey and wife have the war mest sympathy of all their acquaint ances here in their sad lass. A County Fair. No county in the State is more fa vorably located than Warren for the succe&sful maintenance of a well con ducted county fair. Our own county within itself would give such an en terprise a liberal support, and by its central location in a tier of counties without fairs, would draw large pa tronage from all of them. We renew the suggestion made some months ago to the Farmers' Alliance, or Far mers' and Laborers' Union as we be lieve it is now, to take hold of this matter. If this organization will take the matter in hand and push it, they can succeed, and will thus estab lish an institution that will benefit every fanner in the county. The merchants and business men of all classes all over the county will aid the cause liberally if the farmers will take the lead. It is an institution which naturally should be conducted and controlled by the farmers. At the Churches Tomorrow. iMETHODIST CHURCH. Preaching morning and night by the pastor, Rev. J. T.
