The Most Glorious, All-Excelling ENTERPRISE ON EARTH! News Dots Alonu the LIuc from Tnl' lalioinu to Sparta. To the Standard We are blessed with a good deal of dry weather, and the farmers have a gay old time in saving fodder, which they will need next winter. I don't think I ever saw as much fodder pulled and stored away as there has been this season. They must un doubtedly believe that there is going to be another hard winter, and their actions now prove that they will be better prepared with horse and cow feed than they were last winter. Hard times will open our eyes sometimes, but fodder pulling is no more than what ought to be done every season when roughness cannot be obtained in any other way.

Some people ill not pull any, for fear they will do more damage than profit, and then grumble about not having any all winter. Pull your fodder when your corn is in the right stage, and you will scarcely do any damage at all. Miss Sarah A. Dames and Dock ltogers, Miss Lee Smartt and Brack Savage, Miss Kosa Smartt and Jesse Whitman, all of Grundy county, attended church atShiloh, last Sunday, and were very much gratified to meets. M.

Clendenen and E. D. Etter there. The protracted meeting commences at Philadelphia, Grundy county, on Saturday before the fourth Sunday in this month, and all are respectfully invited to attend. I'.

ML ARABIAK SHOW I Specially Reported for the Standard: J. 15. Snurlock, of Nashville, went up to Sparta Wednesday evening on a business trip. Nearly all of the farmers along the line have lost most of their fodder, on account of the continued crouth. The dry weather, it seems, does not have any effect on the drummers, as they are thick us ever.

Some of them look rather sour, as though they had struck a green persimmon. Business is very good on the branch at present, the lumber men load cars about as last as they can be taken out. About all you can hear now on the road is, are you going to the show? (Sen. Dibrell returned from Nashville Thursday evening. The morning train from Sparta Thursday morning, as an hour and a half behind time, on account of having to double on the grade at Town Creek, the track k'ing wet caused the engine to slip.

Hundreds of pounds of dried blackberries and apples have been shipped from White county during the last few days. Mead A- Bitchey got the most of the berries. From Daylight. To the Standard. Most everybody is busy gathering fodder this week.

The long continued dry weather has burned the fodder very badly, so the usual amount is not likely to be saved. Farmers will probably learn some day that they ought to raise more hay, so they would not. have to depend on fodder altogether for roughness. Some of our public schools have suspended a week for fodder others have a meagre attendance. 1j.

JJrown, auer spendim; some three weeks visiting in Texas, has returned home. He expresses hiiu self as being very well pleased with the country. J. H. Dodd has about quit grinding ecru.

I To expects to resume opera tions again when the creek takes i rise. James McKnight went to Auburn lat Friday to spend a few days with relatives and friends. hlder 1 (J. Potter, of Dibrell, will preach at llald Knob next Lord's day "at three o'clock, p. m.

J. B. Henegar and wife spent Sun nay viMiiug ms miner's tanulv on Barren Fork. Monday morning, Sept. 7th, Win To the Standard.

Fine indication this morning for rain, which, no doubt, ull would hail with gladness, as it has been quite dry for several weeks, rendering pas turage scanty. Mr. A. Crain, who has recently vis ited an Old Baptist Association in Kentucky, says that large crowds at tended, and did not demean them selves well by any means, as whisky and cigars were sold near the stand where preaching was carried on. This should be a lesson both to young and old.

May we never be permitted to witness such a course of behavior at anybody's meeting in Tennessee. But such is the case, more whisky, more crime and wickedness would it not be better, to have no whisky and less crime Thinking men can certainly decide witnout any argu ment. There will be preaching the third Saturday and Sunday at Mt Zion, by Elder Preston, of Woodbury, and J. K. Walling, of Sparta.

A good at tendance is desired and expected. Most of corn crops in this section will be fully one-third less than was eppected one month ago. I have heard of one small lot selling in the field at cents. Esq. O.

D. Byars, of the 14th dis trict, unfortunately got shot in the face on last Sunday morning, produc ing a very painful but not a serious wound. Tlie season ior sowing wheat is near at hand. How many of our far mors will take pains and see how well they can put in their crops Poor 1 tic-hard says there is no gains without pains. A few bushels of old corn would meet with a hearty reception by many of our farmers just now.

We are very much plagued with chicken cholera on our place. The best indication of prosperity is for every man to be out of debt and have something to sell. A nice lot of new goods just received at Dibrell. Miss Belle Smartt, of Smartt's Sta. is the guest of her sister, Mrs.

Frank Womack. Miss Belle Webb is visiting her sister at Dibrell. The rain has not come yet, but stil the indications are flattering. P. G.
