Personal.

DIR McClaran, of Bradford, was in
town Sunday.
T. J. Williams, Esq, of Humboldt,
was in town last Friday.
Esquires Parker and Fly, of Pick
ettville, were in the city Friday last
Professors Finney and ,Paschal left
for Middle Tennessee last Friday to
spend their vacation.
Miss josie Perry, of Milan College,
left for Trenton last Tuesday, where
she will visit relatives Il few weeks.
Our worthy young friend, Welby
Carleton, left last Thursday for his
home in Louisville. During his stay
here he made many friends, who res
gret his departure.
Mr. Murrell, of the Fulton Times,
was in town again last Sunday. He
seems to be impressed either with the
beauty of the town or they5ung ladies
both, we suppose.
Our old young friend, Alex. Roul-
stone, the live clothing drummer, paid
US visit last Saturday. He was as
fat and jolly as ever. Alex. has a
numerous clientage in West Tennessee
especially in Milan.
Hon G. Alden, Hon r. P. Cole,
j. \. Thomason andS. 4. Champion,
prominent members of the Paris bar,
got left and spent the day here OH
Thursday last. Some of our retail
dealers did a good business that day.
Col. w. Ivie Westbrook, of the
Brownsville Bee, spent few hours
with US last Monday. The Colonel
is editor of one of the best country
papers in the state, and has just con-
cluded a successful battle with gam
blers of his town, in which he routed
and drove them out of the place. We
congratulate him AMI his people. If
the press generally would take as
noble stand against vice, the world
would soon.be much better.

Railroad Items.

Another slight change of schedule
took effect last Sunday.
Trains on both roads are nearly all
ways sin time these days. Travel
fair.
An excursion party from Henry

Friday.
A special to the Louisville Courier
Journal, from Owensboro, Ky, says
the Evansville, Owensboro & Nash,
vile railroad was sold to the bond
holders for 100000
Col. w. w. Vaughn, President of
the Holly Springs, Brownsville and
Ohio narrow guage railroad, was in
town last Saturday and called at this
Office. Under his energetic and most
efficient management, that road is be-
ing rapidly pushed forward toward
completion The citizens along the lice
of the road will never forget him, as
it seems he is the only man who could
put new life into the enterprise and
carry it through under such circum>
stances.

MILAN COLLEGE.
A Large Crowd out TO Witness
the Closing Exercises.

The closing exercises of Milan Col
lege, which took place at Clark's Hall
last Thursday night, brought out the
largest crowd we have ever seen in
the house. 1t gas literally packed;
and, considering everything, excel
lent order was maintained throughout
the evening. The programme was
rather long-taking until midnight
to get throughput the interest was
kept up till the last. The exercises
were opened by our excellent band,
under the leadership of Prot. Gladney.
Speeches by the little boys followed,
and some of them brought down the
house with their excellence. After
an instrumental duet, the little girls
delivered speeches in q sweet and
beautiful manner. The exercises
then consisted of recitations, essays,
declamations and music, vocal and in
strumental, in which nearly every
one did will, and some extraordinar-
lily so. We would like very much
to compliment specially several young
ladies and gentlemen, but have not
room. The valedictofy and gradual
ing essay was read by Miss Bette
Harris. She had, the President said,
been one of the best students he ever
saw, and he took great pleasure in
delivering her.a diploma. She was
was much affected, and could hardly
restrain her tears until she finished
the reading. The young ladies and
gentlemen who assisted in the chor>
uses have the thanks of the Faculty
and the audience, as they contributed
largely to the pleasure of the evening.
The band has the special thanks of
everybody. Under the able leader
ship of Prof. Gladney, it is fast be-
coming one of the best in the State.
President Finney announced at the
close that the next session would be.
gin on the first Monday in August.
