Great bargains at Stone & Mills's.


Hon. w. l. Mcfarland, of Hum
boldt, Floater from this district, was
in town Friday. He is spoken of as a
candidate for the State Senate.
Rev. j. E. Weaver, pastor of the
Baptist Church, left Monday morning
for Murfreesboro, the place Of his for
mer residence, where he will spend O
few days.
Thos. Cochran, representing r.
Hoe & Co., New York printing press
manufacturers, called on us the other
day.
Mr.. Carne, of Humboldt, candidate
for County Court Clerk, was in to see
US Saturday. He set good example
to other candidates by announcing his
name and subscribing for the Ex-
CHANGE too.
We had the pleasure of meeting
Hon. Spl. Hill in Trenton last Mon
dav, and found him to be what every
body had told us-a talented, pleas
ant, genial gentleman. He is prom
inent candidate in this district for
Congressional honors, and We are con-
fdent no one would wear them with
more grace that he. In the district
convention he is willing to submit his
fate, as are all lovers Of their party
and country.
During visit to Trenton last Mon
day We met Messrs. Biggs & Holbrook
of the News-Gazette, Prof. Stilweil,
of the New School Teacher, and Mr..
Rivers of the Humboldt Journal.
We found them to be pleasant and So
ciable gentlemen, and are under obi
cations to them for many little acts Of
kindness during our short stay.

The County Court last Monday had
an exciting debate on the school tax
question. After several speeche. for
and against the tax, Esq. Jordan, Of
this city, moved that it be fixed at
twenty-five cents on the hundred dol
lars. He said that the different dis
tricts wanted it fixed at figures ranging
from fifteen to forty cents, and he
thought it would be fair to compro-
mise on twenty-five cents. The vote
stood d for and q against the propo-
sition.

Not vet, but how soon is not within
the power of men to divine. That it
will be the cry, the echo of which
will be the destruction of many if
not all the business houses in Milan,
is only a question of time. The his
tory of other towns is too well known
to leave a doubt in the mind of any
one but that destructive fire Will,
sooner or later, visit our town. y
fire now, with a fair start, would con-
sumo every business block, for the
houses are all adjoining each other,
most of them built of wood; the cross
streets and alleys between them are
so narrow that fire can communicate
from one to the other without even
the aid of a breeze, and at present the
only source of water is from wells at
a depth of sixty to seventy feet, and
no means of applying what could be
obtained from them.
There should be some means adopted
by which, in case of a fire, it could be
extinguished, or at least portion of
the beautiful business houses of this
embryo city saved. VIII some one
suggest way?

could not persuade his legs to stand,
which, with the nimbleness of linn

to his brave comrades who remained,
and also to a lively old colored woman
who witnessed the scene and cried out

A great many seemingly extrava-
CANT tales about the productlveness
and profits of the alfalfa crop are 60
ing the rounds of the press, but here
is one we know to be well within the
bounds of probability and strictly true.
A gentleman living in the Lower
Kings river country informs us that
from acres of alfalfa he last year cut
twenty tons of hay, that Melted him
$40 per ton, and raised one crop of
seed weighing 1920 pounds, that net
ted him twenty cents per pound, so
that he made clear profit off his five
acres of alfalfa of $500 OF course this
story sounds small in comparison with
many we hear every day, but it has
this advantage, that no one will doubt
its truth, and will seem quite good
enough to any reasonable man. Kern

Nearly every article of farm pro-
duce that was grown on the delta of
Kern river last year is now exhausted.
1t has all passed out Of the hands of
the producer, at high prices, and is
now mostly consumed. Almost the
only article, of which any is left, is
hay, but there is not sufficient until
the next crop comes in. This scarcity
is not owing to bad crops; better never
grew, but to the large immigration
and an unexpected demand from the
mountains where crops were not good.
