The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1878-05-16

Every liberal advertiser in the
EXCHANGE is doing big business.
DO you see the point?
The largest and sweetest strawber.
ries we have seen were presented to
us last week by Mr. Hine. They came
from Medina.
We have heard that a slight frost
was visible here yesterday morning.
Some say that it showed little few
days since, too.
The Methodist church has recently
been greatly improved by the appli-
cation of two or three coats of white
paint on the outer walls.
The young men of Milan have issu-
ed invitations to a hop to come off at
Odd Fellows Hall to night. 1t pro-
misses to be a pleasant affair.
New carpets have been bought for
the aisles in the Baptist church. They
are quite an improvement, and stop
much noise during the service.
Mrs Cruise will give an ice cream
supper tonight. Parties attending
the hop will bear this in mind. Tick
cts can be procured at the hall.
Our readers will remember that the
special election for constable Of this
district takes place next Saturday.
Turn out and elect a good man.
Hon j. d. c. Atkins has our thanks
for important public documents. The
General will be unanimously re elects
ed in his district, and we are glad of
it.
We neglected the last two weeks to
call attention to q. q. Green's new
local advertisements. His medicines
are very popular here, and deseryedly
so.
A drunken Irishman was 50 full of
happiness and bad whisky last Satur-
day that Ire made his bed on the side
walk on Front Row, and was perfectly
satisfied.
Let the voters remember that w.
III. Algee, whose name is announced
in another column, is candidate for
Constable at the special election next
Satud day.
A "norther" blew up here last Sun
day afternoon and continued during
Monday. Snow, ice and frost were
{" enjoyed" in several states north of
us on Saturday.
An Ohio farmer is corresponding
with parties here with the view of
buying a farm. We will welcome him
and hundreds of Others. We need
more farmers around Milan.
Mrs Duffy offers some fine bargains
in our local notices. She receives
new goods every week, and sells at
wonderfully low rates. Read them,
and you are sure to buy from her.
Rev j. R. Gray viii hold service
at Clark's Hall next Sundsy morning
and evening. This will be his last
visit here for some time, as he will
visit Europe during the summer
months.
Our friend George Cade has cleared
seventy>fve dollars on three-fourths
of an acre of Strawberries, and is not
yet done picking. Ifhe had put it in
cotton, he would have made about FIVE
or ten dollars.
Up to last evening about $4,000
quarts Of Strawberries had been ship
ped from this place. Next week, when
the season will be over, we will publish
the exact figures. We may have
few other thoughts to add.
Read Jordan's great big new adver.
tisement. He is doing rousing bus
iness, and we are not surprised at it,
when it is known Eli Stone, Dave
Mills, and John Townes are statesmen,
and a big advertisement is run in the
EXCHANGE.
Crump, the jeweler, has moved into
Brown & Dickson's store, where he has
added beautiful new stock of goods
in his line to the elegant lot he had on
hand. We are glad to learn that he is
doing a good business. Read his locals
and call on him.
Col. W. w. Vaughan has been re-
quested to address the graduating class
at Bethel College, Mckenzie, on the
9Th of June, and has kindly consented
to do SO. He is popular and able
speaker, and will interest hisaudience.
No doubt crowded house will turn
out to hear him.
Zeilin is prosecuting Thedford for
making and selling Simmons Liver
Regulator. Their attorneys spent one
day here last week takingdepOsitions.
Thedford's preparation, at any rate, is
the enc which sells best here. How
ever, we suppose there is little if any
difference in the medicine.
