Mr. Shepherds gin was set On fire
again last Thursday night. The mis-
creant set fire to a load of seed cotton
put in the gin after dark, but the
flames flashed over..:the seed cotton
and went out, doing but very little
damage. This is the third time that
this gin has been set OH fire. We

Some man from this town or some
other place, went to Jackson, and told
the reporter of the Tribune md Sun,
that DIR Boyd and wife had died OF the
yellow fever, and his colored servant
was either dead or dying, and TINT
there were l6 other persons down with
fever. This is not true, DIR Boyd and
his wife neither died with the fever so
the best physicians of town say, nor is
the colored servant down with it. our
best physicians say'tbere has been but
one case of fever near here, and that
refugee from Memphis who died ct
the hospital about ! miles from town
six weeks ago.
The Mayor and President of the
Board of Health have published to the |
world that the health of Milan was
never better. And though We ale
surrounded with 1t at present, above
and below on each railroad, yet with |
the rigid quarantine, and cleanly con-
diton of the town, We expect to escape |
the dreadful scourge. The corporate
ure using ever means with
in the bounds of justice to keep it way, |
und every citizen should lend a help
ing hand, and guard our town from
any violations of the quarantine law.
We know net how long it may be un>
til frost, and we cannot be to careful.
Any..::of our buisrrss inen or any
other citizens who have occasion to
visit Nashville will find that they can
not do better than to stop at Scots
Hotel. 1t has recently been repaint'
ed, repapered, and refurnishcd with
new furniture, carpets, etc, and Is now
one of the best hotels in the South.
The table is furnished with the very
best the market affords, the cooking is
excellent, and the servants are all that
can lie asked for. Mr.. Scott himself
is model host, t,sswho, in conjunction
with his polite clerks, makes any one
feel at home. The house is situated
on church street, between the Chat
tanoga depot and the business part of
the city--jnst the most convenient
point it could be located. Stop there,
and you will not regret it.
"All honor to whom honor is due"
Thrice honored, then should be our
friend Mr.. Geo Cade, who in the hour
of trouble has proved to be host in
generous and wholesouled, he
with an untiring patience stayed night
and day with oar lamented and be-
loved DIR Boyd and wife, until they
were called to, THAT bourne from
whence no traverlY returns" In the
name Of the friends and relatives of
that stricken household, we take this
opportunity to tender to him the heart
'elt thanks, that words but SO poor
y express, feeling assured that "The
yiver of all good and perfect gifts" will
eward the honest manly heart which
o nobly fulfilled His blessedcommand,
Love thy neighbor as thyself,"
