The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1875-01-14

The price of washing shirt was 81.
Shirt washing was done at the Presidio by
some American soldiers who owned (hap-
py mortals) wives. The price of lumber
was something enOrmOus-$35O per 1000
running feet measurement. A pair Of
blankets sold for $40, pair of long boots
for six ounces of gold. A common rough
Jacket cost S25. Yet Injuries were cheap.
There were plenty of cigars, and good
ones, to be had; plenty of the best wines
and brandy. Raisins, almonds, and nuts
were literally found in the streetS-some-
what damaged, perhaps. The climate, at
that time at least, was not very inviting.
At sunrise the Wea her was as mild and
serene as at Naples by II o'clock the
eastern winds began to blow; not only
dust, but gravel of respectable size flew
about like hail; by , p. m. it became bit
ter cold, and by P. III. the wind had en-
tirely subsidized.
Hundreds and thousands of white rats,
with fiery red eyes, ran about in the streets
and disputed the light of inhabiting each
tent or house.
What flies are to Egypt, fleas were at
that time to San Francisco. There was
no use of seeking a remedy. No sleep
could be got until the million fleas got lit

sleeper, which was generally by in the
morning. Then the little vampires took a
rest themselves.
The city bOasted of but few horses; as
for carriages, there were none worthy the
name.
Such was the city of San Francisco in
1919 ye5 every body was busy, every thing
was sold and bought for gold dust. Every
hodV had scales and weights, and every
body seemed somehow to have gold.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1875-01-14

A NEAR-sIGHTED man was riding in a
Woodward Avenue car the other day,
when lady opposite bowed to him. He
returned the bow, raised his hat, smiled
sweetly, and was just wondering who she
was, when she came over and whispered
in his ear: ''Oh! I'll fix you for this, old
mani" Then he knew it was his wife,

yesterday closes my rine shooting career, and the
