To Ny Friends and Patrons

wish TO express my many thanks,
not only for the patronage which you
have SO literally extended to me; but
for the kindness and sociability which
you have shown to the stranger who
came into your midst not many
months ago. | can say that l have
spent as pleasant winter in Milan
and vicinity as ever hope to spend
anywhere. Now | have thought,
where winter can be made so pleas
ant with its gloomy days, how nice
it Will be in summer, when the trees
and flowers bloom, and | had such
good luck here in selling SO many
goods that | had to go after another
stock, and had to get larger store
room. You will find us at Williams,
Smith & Co.'S old stand where We will
sell goods cheaper than the cheapest. |

cause l will sell low and turn the
money over and make it come in that
way.

White Goods, Grenadines, Embroid-
cries, Irish Linen, Table Linen, Crash,

Attorney General skemngton.

There having been some misunder-
standing as to the status of Madison
county in this judicial circuit at pres
ent, the jackson Tribune and Sun
makes the following statement, and
takes occasion to pay very hand
some compliment to Col. Skefingtcn,
the present able Atterney-General,
who IS a candidate for reelection.
Col. S. certainly is a most efficient
officer and pleasant gentleman. He
numbers his friends in this county by
the thousand.
We see from a late issue Of the
Dyersburg Gazette that the Hon.
John Skefington, our present Attor>
ney General, is a candidate for re-elec-
tion. Daring his term of service he
has built up an extensive friendship
and acquaintance with the bar aud
people of t--his--.listrict, and Madison
county will part with him, if we must,
with reluctance and many good wishes
for his siccess and happiness. Madi-
ison Is claiming the right to elect, and
will elect an Attorney General of her
own, though it is question that will
be tested, as to whether the Attorney
General for the old district will be the
legal officer OF our court, or the At
torncy General for this county elected
by Us.
Let the question he decided as it
may, we want good officer, man
who has knowledge, experience and
distinguished legal talent, and if the
choice of the people should fall upon
John Shefiington again, and the dis
trict should remain as at present con-
stituted, we would have an Attorney
General second to none in the State.
Madison comfy cannot vote for him,
as she will vote for one of her own
talented sons, for this county only,
but were the field open there are hosts
Of friends Of our present big-hearted,
big-brained Attorney General who
would hold him first against any man
In the district General SkeffingtOn
Is lawyer of unusual learning and
ability, a conscientious and faithful
servitor of the State, a practitioner Of
excellent skill, acquired through long
and continual experience, an advocate
of broad culture, with mind trained
and developed in high degree by
constant contact and antagonism with
the best legal minds in the State. He
has proven his eminent fitness for his
present position, and his many friends
in Madison, who cannot have the
pleasure Of voting for him will join
US in giving him this kindly parting
word, and should the fortunes of the
future send him among us again, he
will receive hearty and hospilable
welcome, heftting a faithful and eff
cient public servant.

Jacobs still sells a silver dollar for
five cents each.

ed new groceries and seeds which the
people need. See locals.

roads.
The person who carried of the ster-
eoscopic views from the Emporium is
informed that a new lot has been re-
Ueived.
People are sending all the way from
Madison county TO Milan for that two
stamped whisky at Jacobs. He is
selling it at cost and carriage.
Reverend j. l.. Denton, of Arkan-
sas, was TO lecture here last night,
but did not reach town. We did not
find out the cause of his failure.
The Hopkinsville New Era credits
the EXCHANGE with the authorship
of the Torpedo Chicken" We are
not entitled TO it, as it was clipped
from Memphis paper.
Neil S. Ware has moved into the
room under the EXCHANGE Office,
formerly occupied by Mr. We'll. He
has a good stock Of groceries, which
he will sell very low. See his locals.
DIR r. W, Scott was the only Milan
physician who attended the State Med

meeting very interesting, and the hos

Mrs Duffy has received her spring
goods, and her store looks like a green
house, so great is the quantity and 50
brilliant and variegated are the beau

them. Our pencil is too dull. Read
the advertisements, go and see, and
be convinced.
DR. j. B. Johnson's business card
will be found in another column. He
has been several months here, and has
worked into a very fine practice, max
ing many friends. He is a pleasant,
accomplished gentleman and a skill

KENTON.
From tile Humboldt Herald.

AS we havenot furnished any items
to the EXCHANGE in several weeks,
We fear you have forgotten Kenton.
Our concert was decidedly a sue
cess and reflects great credit upon all
of those interested therein. The pop
ular play, "Ten Nights in a Barroom,"
was rendered to large and apprecia-
tive audiences. K. n. Mcknight
and Miss Elnora Powell deserve es>
pecial mention for the style in which
they acted their parts.
Rev. j. II. Piper, Baptist minister
of Boydsville, KY, preached at Con-
cord church, two miles from here. on
Sunday, he is frst-rate preacher and
nice man, and gave general salts
faction.
The Murphy meeting on Sunday
night was well attended. Temperance
is extremely popular here, and whisky
selling is very unpopular. Rev. Pi>
per gave a short, spicy and approprl-
ate lecture in behalf of temperance.
IL T. Harris, State Deputy for the
Good Templars, also made a talk.
He is uncompromisingly opposed to
dram-drinking church members, and
to whisky selling, and denounces both
in forcible terms. Miss Mollie NJ,
our competent organist, and lovely
belle, furnished select music for the
occasion. Success to Murphys, Good
Templars and temperance generally.
Kenton Lodge, No. II, L. o. g. T., is
in a more prosperous condition now
than since in 1873, and Is adding
names to the roll of honor at every
meeting.
Prof. Stephens has bad to retire
from Kenton Academy on account of
failing health. We regret that he
was unable to remain with RS. He is
the most popular and most effective
man We have ever had in our school,
and we have little hope of getting an
equal. Miss Brewer, the assistant
teacher, remains, and if We had been
forced to part with both at once, we
feel confident the school would have
"blowed OUT
No marriages, deaths, new babies,

Died, on the Both of March last, at
Yorkville, Mrs Rosie Hutcherson,
daughter of n. H. Corley of Ruther-
ford Station.
BY an order of The Court, the Coun-
ty Superintendent is authorized to
charge one dollar for the examina-
ton Of each applicant to teach school,
and one dollar and fifty cents for each
certificate issued. This is right, as it
will barely compensate him for the
necessary expenses of his Office and
the trouble of examining teachers.
A crazy negro is now in our county
Jail where he will languish for months
unless the County Court makes an ap-
propriation and sends him to the
asylum. 1t would not only be hui
mauity to do so, but it would save
expepse to the county. 1t Is believed
that if he were sent there he would
be cured in a short time. He is said
to have been an honest, industrious
negro when in healthy condition.
The building and launching of a
steam boat in Gibson County marks
an epoch in our history. Last Monday
Capt. Thomas Donegan, successfully
launched his steamer, Dan Voorhees,,
at Eaton and dropped her down to the
landing to receive the machinery. She
will run from Eaton to the mouth of
the Forked-deer river, is seventy feet
long and eighteen feet wide, with
capacity of eighty tons, or four hun
dred bales of cotton. We hope the en-
terprise will prove success and afford
the people of the forked-deer country
a cheap outlet to the sea. We wish the
little steamer bon pOyage.

On account of serious illness in the
editors family, very little local news
of Importance has been worked up
this week. The reader will, however,
find several columns of interesting
state news, new advertisements and
local notices. Our merchants have
all received new goods, and several Of
them make fine show in our columns.
Trade with them especially, for they

season has Just been received by A.
Jordan. His stock of clothing is inn

pocket book. His ladies' suits and
dress goods are most beautiful. His
prints and other staple goods are all
new and pretty, and very cheap. His
boots and shoes are especially fine,
made for the trade, and, in order to
rush them off, an extra inducement
to purchasers is offered in the shape
of beautiful chrome. To crown all,

Townes, three Of the best salesmen in
town, are ready TO wait on customers.

made new departure, and one tor
which they deserve much credit and
the thanks Of the ladies especially.
Heretofore only the millinery stores
in Milan employed saleswomen, while
the men have enjoyed monopoly
in that line. We know of no good
reason why a woman can't sell dry
goods and notions as well as a man
it is indeed peculiarly woman's
work, for there are many articles Of
