THE Army APPROPRIATION BILL.-Tne
army appropriation bill reported TO the
House contains a proviso that no money

men, including Indian scouts and hospital

enlisted men not exceeding 100, after the
present terms of enlistment have expired
The bill also provides that cavalry regi ments
may be recruited and kept up To the force OF

the total force OF the army. The total amount
appropriated and expended for the army last
year was ST ,62i ,561 and there is a deficiency

Public Schools.

The Quartly Court last Monday
assessed a tax of twenty cents on the
hundred dollars for school purposes.
The Superintendent informs us that,
with the money now on hand, this
will run the schools about eight
months, However, this will not APP
ply to this district. If the town of
Milan will vote an additional tax of
about ten or twenty cents, we can
have first-class graded high school
for ten months. Then, if we will Sc
cure the proper number of pupils,
We can secure part of the Peabody
fund, which will help matters very
much. What do our city fathers
say2 Many of our citizens favor the
proposition.
We learn that the directors for this
district will not open the free schools
until next January, as none of the
school money will be available until
near that time. They want to get a
little money ahead, so they can pay as
they go, and they are right. The
district is little in debt just now,
and it must be paid.

The Murder Trial.

The Welch murder case occupied
the time of the magistrates and law

closed by requiring bond of Mayo and

cleared. Aldridge has not been
heard from. Greer, one of the
principal witnesses for the prosecu-
ton, skipped out Thursday night. 1t
is said that threats were made against
him, which caused him to leave. This
is terrible lesson to the young men
engaged in the affair, and ought to be
a warning to Others to stay away from
saloons and bawdy houses

The Price of Wheat.

The wheat in this section is being
prepared for market very fast, and
our farmers are materially anxious to
know what it will he worth. The
European war is keeping up the price
to some extent, no doubt; but it is
very uncertain how long that war will
last. From present indications, it
looks as if the Turks will soon be
whipped. The latest news indicates
that England will take no part in the
struggle, and no other nation is likely
to interfere. Wheat is dropping now,
and our opinion is that it wall be worth
more during this month than at any
time before January. Therefore, if
you are compelled to sell this year, we
think it prudent to do so at once, before
it loses too much by shrinkage. Be
sure to have it well dried, though, or
it will he classed as No. 4, or damaged
wheat. We give below the latest
quotations in several of the leading
markets:
