Humboldt Argus: Last Wednesday
night, about half after ten o'clock, the
property belonging to Mr.. Tom But
Ter, situated down the Mobile road,
was burned tothe ground. Mr. Butter
had recently bought the property and
had only lived in it a short time. The
house was insured for about $3.50.
Since our last issue the following
marriage licenses have been issued by
the county court clerk:
il Dickens and Matilda J Timer;
Col. Talent and Eliza Murdoch;
J T Turner and E j Williams;
H Lewis and Ella Henry;
Van Duncan and Eliza Greenwood.
Another opportunity was afforded
the young people of Milan last Mon
day night to mingle together in social
enjoyment. Some twelve or fifteen
couples assembled at the residence of
Mr.. Mark Baird, where music, con-
versation, etc., lent their charms, as
usual, to enhance the pleasures of the
evening.
The north bound Central train due
here on Tuesday last at l o'clock, p.
M, did not arrive uGtil about 81
o'clock the next morning. We un>
derstand the delay was caused by a
wash in the road at Montgomery, a
point about three hundred and thirty
miles south of Milan. Three cars
were ditched, but no one hurt.
Mr.. w. J. Hine "holds the fort"
here for both the Southern and Union
Express companies. He will be as
faithful and impartial man as the
companies could have to manage their
joint business here. On account of
the necessity Of re-billing freight,
good quantity of it has to lay over
here from one train to another.
Our old time friend Tom Harrison
buJs nearly everythinga and sells every
thing, too, if there is to be any trading
done in Milan. Polite attention and
fair dealing ought to insure him good
proportion, and if you havn't the ready
cash call and see him with your feath-
ers, wool, etc., AMI he will fix up a
trade with you pretty quick. See
his ad. elsewhere.
The well-known and popular whole
sale dry goods firm of Rice, Silk & Co.,
of Memphis, have opened a house in
st. Louis, where they are prepared to
fill ali orders for their customers
promptly. We hope our readers will
remember them in their new place.
Their enterprise under adverse circum-
stances deserves credit. Their card
will be found in another column.
In another column will be found two
articles in reference to the Tennessee
Central railroad. We are glad to
see this evidence of interest being man,
ifested, and hope it may increase until
the road is built. Nashville needs
this road badly just DOW; and Tren-
ton needs it, if possible, worse than
does. Let US drop politics
for awhile and all 60 to work for the
development of our magnificent re-
sources.
On Friday evening last, Mr.. j. c.
Lopez, Secretary of the Order of For
