Fancy or Ornamental Printing is always
pleasing to the cultivated eye. There is a pecu
liar beauty in its artistic arrangement and distri

eclat to the succeessful competitor.
Workers for the cause, through these columns,
will find it successful to accept of six months sub

the efficiency of this plan, all who love to see the
truth spread throughout our entire domain.

One principal feature of the renovation was a

thanks to the party, and says, “ the surprise was
complete and agreeable.”
The following report was recently made to the

“ Your Committee on Statistics beg leave to re

When farmers sow their own seed, it may be

The Nashville Union and American , which
has been the leading paper in Tennessee for many
years, is now one of the most influential journals
in the South, and deservedly so. XVe fully endorse
the remarks of the Western Methodist , with refer
ence to the U. A.: “ The Nashville Union and
American, published by Messrs. J. O. Griffith &
Cos., with its three editions, daily, semi-weekly,
and weekly, is one of the most interesting and
successful' newspapers in the land. In fact, avo
put it at the head of tho list of secular journals
received bv us; for, while it is equal to them in
intelligence and enterprise, it is superior to all in
its noble regard for the moral well being and im
provement of society. Its political, commercial
and local departments are edited with great abil
ity and propriety, and its agricultural department
is full, instructive and satisfactory in the highest
degree. XVe congratulate our friend, Col. Griffith,
who, with his co-laborers, lias achieved a noble
success, in furnishing the people a paper most
worthy of patronage. May its patronage, now
large, increase greatly from year to year. XVe
advise all our readers who wish a newspaper
from the Capital of Tennessee, to send for the

Progress in tiie South—Printing—Prog-
ress in the South is in nothing more manifest than
in the art ancl extent of printing. The newspa
pers of the South spend from two to five times as
much at present in procuring and printing news
than six years ago. In job printing the same ad
vance has been made, and now all offices entitled
to the name in the South are prepared to turn
out as line work as any in the country. In some
kinds of railroad work, for example, the lettering
and numbering of coupon railway tickets, all of
our roads, for many years, have been compelled
to apply tit the North for their work. The Frank
lin Printing House at Atlanta, owned by our old
and well-known Nashville citizen, J. J. Toon, is
now prepared to do that kind of work in the best
style, and as cheaply as can be had at New York,
Buffalo, or any other place in the Union. He lias
the only regular and complete ticket numbering
machine in the South for that class of work. In
deed, he lias a model printing establishment,
and Southern railroad companies will find it to
their advantage to stop at home for work which
can be as well and cheaply done as elsewhere.

fipr, on the corner of Marietta and Broad streets,
ami one of the most eligible in the city. The

approved pattern. Indeed the whole establish
ment has been manipulated by a skilled and ex
perienced teacher, and presents an air of taste,
elegance and comfort. It is Prof. Eastman’s
object to make the pupils comfortable, while he
trains them for the stern and actual duties of life.
He is determined that there shall bo wanting no
effort on liis part to facilitate the rapid advance
ment of all who come to get the benefit of his
long experience. As to Mr. Eastman’s character
as a gentleman of solid worth anil ability as an
instructor, it is unnecessary to say more than that
he comes to us fully endorsed by leading business
men of our acquaintance—and by a number of
Southern gentlemen of the highest respectability,
now' in business in this city, who received their
business education at the Eastman College, of
Poughkeepsie, of which popular institution he

to Georgia and the South Prof. A. R. Eastman,
and recommend his College to the favorable con
sideration of our people, who feel interested in
the acquirement of a thorough business education,

THE DEATH OF MARY.—MarJlwas a sweet little
chi'.d, not much caressed by father or moiher. Her
little black ringlets fell over her cheeks in profusion.
Her eyes was dork. She had the face of an angel, and
that was enough to captivate the w orld. But death
loves a shining mark, and the angel&amj with sweet
songs, like those that hovered over vhe Saviour at His
birth, and Mary went up to God. Lola.
MRS. FRANCES COLLEY, relict of Francis Colley,
of Washington, Ga., fell asleep in Jrsns, March ISth,

Ske had lived to see all of her childem come to mate
rial arid to lay them all, save one, in their last resting
p!a%on earth ; and nothing seemed to remain but her
own departure to that lonely borne, appointed for all
the living. Beautiful in life, and lovely in death, she
adorned the doctrine of God, her Saviour, and has left,
in a “good na.re,” more than “precious ointment,’’
which will be kept fragrant by many who bemoan their
loss in her gain. Mrs. Colley was a native of Virginia ;

For many years she was a member of the Baptist
church at XVashiugton, where resided her son, Mr. Z.

]SfEW SUNDAY SCHOOL SONG BOOK,
“ ZKHHSTID WORDS.”
Prof. ft. W. LINTON, I Editors
Prof. U. M. TEASDALE, f fcDITOBB ’
This new and attractive book is just published by
the Sunday School board, S. B. C. It contains 59
tunes, and 121 hymns. Ot the tunes, 45 are new, and
the rest are choice pieces selected from the best authors.
Many of the hymns are also new, and the balance have
been selected with great care. The design of the book
is to inspire, in song, the purest and best religious sen
timent in our schools. Secular and political songs are
entirely excluded. The book sings simply of Jesus,
and is admirably adapted to the wants of all our South
ern schools. Oue of our best Professors of Music says
of it: “I venture to say, that the book contains ntoro
useful tunes and hymns, and those that will wear, than
anything of the kind in the market.” Another of our
best Southern musicians says: “While the book is
Southern, all political and national songs are wisely
excluded from its pages. Our schools are tub of North
ern books; and these, without exception, have some
reference to political or sectional opinions, which make
them objectionable. The book is a good one, and lam
persuaded that it will be received, aud that it will ob
tain a wide circulation throughout the South. The
paper is superior, and the printing and binding are
welt executed. I bid it a hearty God-speed.”
The book is sold at the following low prices: Single
copy, 25 cents; 1 dozen, $2.75; 50 copes, sll ; and 100
copies, S2O. Orders may be sent to Rev. T. C. Teas
