Major. ,. G. Ezell aud Col. T. H
Baker, of Mckenzie, spoke in favor
of the compromise last Tuesday, OF
Main street, in front of the EXCHANGE
office. Their speeches were both able
and convincing, and were listened &c
attentively by the audience. DIR.
Jordan spoke in opposition to the
measure.
Jonah of old warned the people Of
NineVah that their city would be 1e-
stroyed in forty days if they did not
repent; so we warn the people that by
voting against the 50-4 compromise
they will certainly destroy our state.
Call your conscience to witness and,
if you are informed on the subject,
you will vote Accepted"
Mcclure, of the Humboldt Argus,
is "some" in a coon fight, but he got
the worst of it last Friday. Zip"
nailed him by the leg, and they do
say that Mack made the dust and fur
fly in thick cloud for a little while.
He being in Miss Flora McFlimsey's
condition, with nothing to wear" in
consequence Of the battle, of course
has not made his appearance in
public since. Get some fig leaves,
Mack.

We call attention to the advertise
ment in another column of Kinney,
Mclaughlin & Co., successors to
Cheatham d. Kinney, Nashville,
wholesale dealers in liquors, wines and
groceries. This house has a large
capital, long experience in the bust
ness and is in every way reliable.
Buyers will consult their best interests
BY sending their orders to this firm.
They already do large business in
Milan, and we hope to See it still fur
Their increased, as their liberality with
their customers is proverbial.
A party of young ladies and gentle
men came across a sulky standing in
the street few nights ago, and con-
,luded to take ride. After the boys
lad worked themselves down "play.
ng horse" the girls concluded to re-
pay them by pulling them awhile.
Two of them mounted the treacherous
but the thing flew from I'M
Ter them quicker'n lightning, giving
hem terrible jolt on their backs. |
They don't.want their names published,
'ut one was handsome young doc
or, and the other was a lively "little |
oker." They are done with sulky |
iding.
Senator James E. Baily, made a
cling and able speech here yesterday |
n favor Of the compromise. His log
C was powerful and convincing,,,whil
lis mastery review of the bond ques-
ion was listened to with marked at
ention and made an excellent i'm
'ression on those asse mbled. He
ealt only in facts and solid argu-
nents, before which the strongest OBJ
sctiOns of the non-compromise melted
Ike frost before a scorching sun. Du-
ing the entire speech there was no
ppeal to the prejudices fthe people,
10 demagoguery, no buncombe, but
ruth after truth, right from the heart
f an honest man, fell from the lips of
his distinguished statesman and fast
-iend of the people. The man who
card Senator Bailey and was not con-
inced of the justice and wisdom of
le compromise, is like Ephraim of
to his idols.
