OUR NEW ROAD AGAIN.
Another and Better Proposition
from Col. Cole.

Last week, as was mentioned ir
these columns, a number of Trenton
gentlemen went to Nashville to secure
easier terms from Col. Cole for Tren>
ton in the new railroad enterprise. AT
ter a long interview, he reluctantly
told them that, if they would raise
$40, 900 in good, solvent subscriptions
by the 10Th inst, he would put a
force of hands to work on the road
Immediately and complete the work.
This has to be raised in that time be-
tween Trenton and Huntingdon. In
case this amount cannot be raised by
private subscriptions, he will take
town bonds at seventy-fve cents on
the dollar. The subscriptions are to
be guaranteed to Col. Coles satisfac-
ton, and are to be paid as the work
progresses, upon guarantee of the N,
c. & st. L. company that the money
will be refunded if the road is not COM
pleted to Trenton. 1t is understood
that this proposition is in lieu of the
one recently made to Mr.. Cooper. The
old committees appointed to raise SUBJ
scrptions are at work, and are request.
ed to push matters so that they can
all meet here next Saturday and re-
port progress, when, if enough has not
been raised, plans will be adopted to
secure the balance. The Trenton
committee is at work, and proposes to
raise at least $4,000, and more if pos
sible. The Milan committee desires
meeting tomorrow friday night, to
discuss the matter. In the meantime,
we urge everybody who can to SUBJ
scribe literally. If this proposition is
not acceded to, we fear the road will
not be built soon. We understand
about $4,000 have been subscribed
here, and probably more can be
raised. 1t is also thought that a CON-
promise can be made with the holders
of Milan bonds, by which several
dollars more can be raised. |
We hope this will be thoroughly con-
vassed tomorrow night. In the
let the friends of the road
lc0rk.

Drunk and DisOrderIy.

We are informed that John Wheel
err, while under the influence of liquor,
went to Browns school house last
Tuesday night, when he raised a dis
turbance and struck Wm. Peak with
stick, knocking him down and hurt
ing him SO badly that he had to be
hauled home. Wheeler was then put
out Of the house, when he drew his
knife, cursed and used other obscene
language to such an extent that the
school adjourned, many running home
badly frightened. There had been
previous trouble between Wheeler and
Peak, we understand. The meeting
was a singing school, under the direc-
ton of Prot. Murphy, who had been
secured to train singers for church and
Sunday school service at that place.
From what we can learn of the matter,
it is a very serious affair, and Wheel
er will probably be dealt with to the
extent of the law. 1t is another fruit
of the baneful curse of drunkenness.

To our readers who have the mis-
fortune to be troubled with Chills and
Fever, we would say make trial of an
old and tried remedy, Hughes Tonic.
1t will be found to be safe, quick and
thorough in giving relief. 1t is pre-
pared by the well known house of
Messrs. r. A. Robinson d Co., Louis
vile, KY, who confidently endorse its
merits. A single bottle will often
cure the most obstinate case. 1t is
worth trial.

A Ouiuiue Substifufe.

Nearly all sufferers from the chills are on the
allen for any remedy thaC will take the place Of
quinine. Quinine is Objectionable on account
of its taste and the unpleasant symptoms that
follow its use, as we'll as the uncertainty Of a
permanent cure. Another objection to quinine
is, that it is always necessary to use some other
to produce the proper results upon the secre-
tons. A remedy which in every way combines
ali the above properties and that produces none
of those unpleasant symptoms, is just now in
demand by chill suffering people. Such a
remedy is now offered as Days Ague Tonic,
which far surpasses any and all other articles
IN the final cure of chills.

Any of our West Tennessee friends
visiting St. Louis during the great
fair can buy their clothing better and
cheaper from Mabley's mammoth
clothing house than anywhere else in
the city. 1t is one of the largest
houses in the line to be found in the

some card of this house. Cut this out
and take it with you.
We learn that the fine horse, Du-
luth, owned by our popular fellow
townsman 4. f. Haun, took the first
premium at the St. Louis Fair a day
or two since. The premium amounts
to five hundred dollars cash. "Blue-

owned by the same gentleman, cap
tured the third premium. We con-
graduate our friend Haun npon his
success and say hurrah fer Milan.
The attractive card of the famous
shoe and hat man, W. +. Alexander,
finds a place in this issue. He keeps
up with the styles in his line and guards
his reputation so cautiously that he
will not permit an inferior article to
leave his house. His stock is largely
composed of handmade work, and
hence he guarantees every pair of
shoes or boots and every hat that
leaves his house. The readers of the
EXCHANGE will find it to their interest
10 trade with Alexander if they desire
a first-class article and at the lowest
prices.
There is not anywhere more en-,
terprising and reliable firm than

They manufacture doors, sash, blinds,
moulding and brackets and have gen.
eral supply of lumber on hand at all
times. Their work is first class and
never fails to gi7e satisfaction, while

as gentlemen and most excellent bus
mess men.
The standard firm of Robertson IL
Bolts, so long and favorably known to

prices. Their clothing department
is particularly attractive and full of
the nobbiest suits for men and boys.
In the millinery and dress making
lines this enterprising house is unex-
ceIled. Miss NJ. Conneli, of New
York, in charge of the millinery de-
partment, is one of the fastest and
most accomplished mOdistes in the
country, while Miss J. Murphy, also
of New York, experimenting the
dressmaking department, is unequall-
ed for her fit and finish of ladies suits.
We cordially commend this house to
the patronage of our readers who visit

Our cotton buyers are driving cot
ton out of our market by not paying
as good prices as some Of our neigh
boring towns. We heard farmer re-
mark that he "could get from a half
to two thirds of cent per pound more
for his cotton, in one of our neighbor-
ing villages, than he could here, and
he was going to take it there, too"
Last Friday, about nine o'clock in
the morning, the citizens in the neigh.
borhood of Ing's mill were startled by
a report sounding like the boom of
cannon, and the earth trembling be-
meath them. On investigation it was
that the boiler in the en-
CINE house of Mr.. Ing's mill had blown
up, tearing the engine house into splin-
tiers. A portion of the boiler weighing
probably over ton was sent whizzing
through the air a distance of about
eighty feet, to the opposite side If the
L& N. road. Mr.. Sibley, the engineer,
was in the engine room at the time,
and narrowly escaped his life. He
was pretty badly scalded, but not
dangerously. Had the boiler bursted |
'ut at the side he would have proba-
bly, met his death, and the mill would |
nave been entirely destroyed. The
9xplosian was through no fault of the
engineer, but worn out boiler.
