A Very Narrow Escape.

The Oxford Miss Falcon, of last
Saturday, narrates the following nar-
row escape from fearful death:
A most exciting and frightful occur
renee took place about eleven miles
east of Oxford on the 10th ult., in
which little Willie, aged seven years,
son Of T. II. Brown, miraculously
escaped losing bis life. He was rid
ing a mule from the plow to the lot
when be was thrown, his feet hanging
in the gear, and the mule running
some three hundred yards around the
lot, over stumps, brush and logs, the
little boy at times dragging on the
ground and again above the mules
back He was bruised from the bot
tom of his feet to the crown of his
head, and strange to say, was not
killed. His collar bone was broken
and be lay speeches. and uncon-
scious five days. Our friend thinks
bis little son will recover, and we
sincerely trust be may do so.

A Woman Brutally Beaten and

A man by the name of John Evans

rooms from Mrs. Mary Campbell, at
lis Girod street. 1t appears that
Evans was not prompt in the paw.

brandishing it in the face of Mrs.
Campbell told her she would be kill.
ed before the week was over.
At about o'clock yesterday the
Evans crowd went in the house OF
Mrs. Campbell. and gaining access
by the back door, set upon her and
beat her severely. Not being salts.
fed, Evans seized Ratchet and dealt
the unfortunate woman q blow upon
the back of the head which felled her
to the earth, and then jumping upon
Der chest stamped her in The most
brutal manner.
The cries of the suffering woman
reached the ears of Officer Moran.
who Immediately went to her rescue.
Tut the PERPETRATORS of the cowardly
deed had succeeded in making their
escape. The unfortunate woman was
then taken to the Charity Hospital,
where her injuries were pronounced
serious. A reporter of the Bulletin
visited the woman at the hospital and
gained the above facts.
She was lying in female ward %,
with her head bound up aud her face
covered with cloths. The cut in the

back, and is quite deep. The woman's
face is bruised in the most terrible
manner. her eyes being entirely clos
ed aud her nose mashed to a pulp.
She was suffering so much that she
was unable to give more accurate
account of the difficulties and its
cause.-N o. Bulletin.

it understood that don't want people
to confound Milan, in Gibson county,

with Milan in Italy, celebrated for its

the aforesaid place may have been so

well pleased with you for calling him
youth in late issue Of your pal

a wish that he were dead. Just now
we could badly afford such~a calamity

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1875-02-04

MrLky. TENN, January %.


Ed. EXCHANGE :-Therece great
triumph of Andrew johnson over his
opponents in the Senatorial contest,
coupled with his acknowledged ability,
in my humble opinion, places him
prominently before the people as
candidate for the Presidency in the
next canvass. 1t wasa victory of the
Conservatives, and an emphatic en-
dorsement of Andrew johnson by
Tennessee. This has been the great
aim of Mr.. johnson. The people have
never vet failed to endorse him when
let alone, and the party lash kept of.
1t is a cause of universal rejoicing
over the United States, and our
Democratic friends everywhere are
j lining with Tennessee in the rej ic-
ing over the victory. Henceforward
Andrew johnson is the leader of the
party in the Senate, the leader of the
party in the United States. His
victory is the greatest upon record.
Ii was the masses on the one hand,
and their opponents On the other. 1t
was the triumph Of the masses, and
to-day their great leader" the great
Commoner lis receiving the Con-
CALCULATIONS of the party throug hout
the government. Union men, Federal
soldiers and Confederates, can unite
upon him. He was the7defender of
the Union in time Of war, which will
plve the way North for his canvass,
and after the war he was the great de-
fender of the down-trodden South
Upon whom could we all unite as web
as upon him in the next canvass.
Recognizing his pre-eminent ability,
his private virtues, his public services.
we could do no better than elect him.
He may be ambitious, but he,is far
removed from that degree of little
ness inducing public servants to plum
der the people. He has never yet
been charged with venality. and is
above that class who steal the public
money. This virtue renders the pos
SCISSOR worthy of all honor in these
days of corruption and bribery. Let
us reward the honest and able de-
fender of our people and Constitu-
ton. MAX.
