The June Nursery, the best child's
magazine We know of, has reached
our table. Every family ought to
have it. Send $3.50 to John l..
Shorey, Boston, and receive it for one
year.
The two planks composing our side
walks are SO wide apart that the av-
erage Milan beau and belle return from
a pleasure stroll with terrible colds.
Our Aldermen should investigate the
matter.
Miss Miller, one Of Milan's pc
lite and winsOme bellies, accompanied
by her friend Miss Dibrell, a charming
and accomplished young lady from
Martin, Tenn, had a delightful jaunt
to Memphis several days since.
A letter was sent from the post Of
fee here the other day with the follow
ing direction:

The frst raspberries of the season
were shipped from here last Monday
by Mr.. Lamar. They went to Lasher
Il Son, Chicago. We learn they were
worth SIS per case that day-seven-
ty-fve cents per quart. The ship
ments CT this delicious berry will not
be large, as the vines are not yet old
enough to he in full bearing.
Two demireps, Fannie Beard and
Fannie Atkisson, were arrested on
Monday, charged with keeping
bawdy house in the corporate limits.
The case came up for hearing on
Tuesday before Aldermen Robinson
and Martin. Fannie Atkisson vas
fined $3.50, and for want of proof,
Fannie Beard was acquitted. The
twO Fannies should hunt a more con.
genial cline, or else keep out of the
hands of our aldermen.
Last Sunday, as the people were
coming from the Methodist church,
the engineer of the north-bOund l..
4 n. train deliberately stopped his
engine on the Main street crossing,
thereby necessitating the women and
children, as well as the men, to scram-
pie over the ditch to get around him,
when he could have backed ten feet
and saved the trouble. We hope
this will rot be repeated, as it is very
annoying. and We cannot see that it is
at ali necessary.
Mr.. L. G. Minor, routs agent of the
Southern Express Company, last
Tuesday placed us under obligation for
a lot of the finest Strawberries we have
seen this season. They were of the
LongfelIow variety, very large, deep |
red, and pear shaped. They were
firm, sweet and delicious, and We be- |
lieve them to he fine shipping berry. |
They we're raised at Bowling Green,
Ky. Any OF orr fruit raisers who de-
sire to secure plants of this variety will
do well to correspond with Mr.. Minor. |
The l.. d n. road last Sunday put |
on spcial fast fruit and vegetable |
train, which leaves Memphis at HOO !
a. M; leaves Milan at $50 p. M, |
and arrives at Louisville at $40 next
morning, where close connection is
made for Cincinnati, Indianapolis,
Chicago and other cities north and
west A passenger coach is also at
tached to this train, making 1t really
an accommodation train. 1t passes
here going south at $40 a. m. By
this train our fruit and vegetable
growers can get their produce in the
market about as soon as by Express,
and much cheaper.
