dence of the community, and their
business shows a steady growth from

One of Warren county's most
practical and successful farmers has
agreed to furnish us with matter
regularly for an agricultural depart
ment in tho Standard. He believes
that the most urgent need of the
farmers of this section is land Im
provement, and will fill the depart
ment principally with practical arti
cles on this subject.
Wheat is all killed down to the
ground, and there is much specula
tion as to what will be the outcome.
A majority of our best farmers seem
to concur in the opinion that it will
spring out fresh again from the roots,
and that there is ample time yet for
it to make a good crop. Oats sown
before the cold spell are killed out
entirely, and will have tobere-so"wn,
or the land put in corn or other crops.
A petition is to be made to Con
gress for an appropriation to Cumber

man Evans has interested himself in
the matter sufficiently to encourage
the friends of the institution in a
strong hope that the appropriation
will be secured. . , .

The Jen ness -Miller magazine for
March is an epitomized encyclopedia
of information for women.. The arti
cle on "Physical Culture,',' by Mable
Jenness, is one of the most interest
ing in the series, and of especial value
to women who need chest develop
ment. It contains much , that Is in
teresting to women, and especially to
the admirers of Jenness-Miller gowns.

On Thursday night Messrs Fin
ney & Paschal concluded a lease o
the Cumberland Female College for
one year, with the privilege of five
years. In building, equipment and
healthful location this school jiosseas
es advantages surpassed by no other
in the South, and equaled by few.
This long term lease will give the
principals every advantago for build
ing up a large and prosperous school,
and we earnestly hope to see it done..
We "believe all of the stockholders
would be satisfied with a small divi
dend on their stock If the school
were filled to Its utmost capacity of
125 boarding pupils.
The publishers of "Plunder," the
Illustrated humorous weekly, In order
to introduce their publication in
every family, will give every tenth
yearly subscriber sending amount of
subscription ($2,00), direct to the
New York office, a present of $10
in cash. Ten subscriptions can be
sent in one envelope if desired, and
the person sending same will receive
$10. A sample copy will be sent free
of charge by the publishers, Gibb
Bros. & Moran, 57 Rose St., New
York, to every one
who will send for
name of this paper.
We understand that the recent
rains have washed out the ford at the
mouth of Hickory Creek worse than
ever before, rendering it quite dan
gerous, even at an ordinary stage of
water. An effort will probably be
made at the April term of the County
Court for an appropriation to at least
assist in building a bridge at that
point. A good many citizens have
signified their willingness to sub
scribe liberally to the work, provided
the County Court will render some
assistance. The county should do
the work without any assistance from
private citizens, but if they will not
do this, we hope they will at least
undertake the work in connection
with the citizens.
Mr. Ira B. Bradford, a banker
and lawyer, and his brother, Rev. E.
E. Bradford, a presiding elder of the
M. E. Church, and Messrs. J. F. Bee
be and C. W. Culbertson, who are in
terested in timber and milling enter
prises, all of Augusta, Wis., are here
to spend a couple of months, and are
boarding with Mr. F. M. Smartt, on
Smithville Street. The first two gen
tlemen named are in search of health,
and the two latter are prospecting
with a view to investments in timber
lands. They are all pleasant gentle
men, and have been (mite favorably
impressed with McMinnville. We
hope Messrs. Beebe and Culbertson
may find it to their interest to en
gage in some kind of manufacturing
enterprise here.
Mr. J. M. Cunningham, the
popular salesman at J. C. M. Ross
Son's, happened to what came very
near proving a fatal accident for him
last Wednesday. He was in a double
seated carriage with Messrs. Jess
Duncan and Byron Smith, going to
the wedding reception at Mr. A. R
Smith's, and Just at a point on the
Sparta road this side of Collins river
where a culvert crosses the "oad, one
of the lines broke, and the horses be
came unmanageable. The carriage
was overturned and Mr. Cunning
ham was thrown down the embank
ment some twenty or thirty feet
The other two young gentlemen
jumped from the vehicle and were
uninjured. ;ur. uunningnam was
brought back to town and was attend
eu !v Dr. Jolly. While he is verv
much bruised up, there is no evidence
yet of anv internal injury. Ills nu
