HEALTH OF MILAN.

Until, an individual or community
leses some valuable and highly price
object, as one of its most-loved and
useful citizens, or their good health
do they become aware of the great
calamity which has befallen them.
This city of Milan can and does boast
of heing the most healthy place in all
West. Tennessee. All true enough
Milan is healthy and has been; but is
it certain it always will be? Let E
see. When this city stood in the
nataral forest or old field, with ten to
twenty-five inhabitants, (Which was a
very few years ago. there was no
cause for i'll health. G., no local
cause-consequently good health. But
now we must remember that we have
2000 to $500 inhakitaaGs and, as a
natural consequence, manyimsre local
causes for disease; and, That being the
case, it beheeves ear City Fathers to
look to the health of our people.
There are many places in this town
that are not only detrimental to health,
but stand inviting disease daily. We
pass them and say it is no business of
ours the Board should look after it.
All true, they should; but do they?
No, sir-Milan is healthy. But how
long will it be healthy with the vast
amount of filth ssd decaying animal
and vegetable matter that is to be
seen and smelled on some of eur aain
streets? City Fathers, wake sup!
Why wait till the horse is gone before
you lock the door? Last summer,
when some of eur neighbors were
scourged with cholera, We trembled,
and said, Let s clean up this town;
the cholera is out and may catch u.s."
There is as much if not more danger
now, or we have more intimations of
it. Men are most generally response
BILE for their own ill health and conse-
quent suffering.
So, city authorities and citizens, all,
let s clean this town up from enc side
to the other, and prepare to meet any
disease that may attack us duHing the
hot months that are now upon us,
thereby keeping Milan in the fature,
as in the past, the most healthy town
in West Tennessee. If we do not,
when trouble comes, we Will have to
say, awe did not watch and keep
our lamps trimmed and burning"
