The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1880-05-06

The spring session of Milan College
closes tomorrow, for want of money
to continue longer. 1t is very unfor>
tunate that more money is not collec-
ted for public school purposes. AS it
is, the tax is lust sufficient to run a
fair school five or six months, thus
breaking down good private schools,
and then children have to run wild"
the balance of the year. With thepres-
emit excellent corps of teachers, under
the direction of Prof. Hooker, who is
conceded to be the best disciplinarian
and teacher Milan has had In years,
our school has become one of the
best in the state, and it is a shame
that it has new to be closed for want of
few dollars. Our property owners
are very much in their own light to
allow the school to go down. They
will soon have to pay taxes on vacant
houses, where they might have had
good renters. Is it too late to rally ia
the support of the cOllege3 Its less
will damage the town more than
that of a dozen stores.

THE CENTRE COUNTY FAIR.-We
copy brother Meek's article on the
coming county fair, in last week S
1Vdtcbnan, entire, because we feel en-
tirely satisfied that he knows exactly
whereof he speaks, while we would
be obliged to write pretty much at ran
dom. 1t seems though, from the inter
est manifested and the extensive prep
arations made that this years fair will
eclipse all former fairs ever held in the
county, and we hope that the valleys
may be we'll represented, both in agri-
cultural and manufactured products
and visitors:
THE CENTRE CoucTY FAnR-TEe premium
list for the Centre County Pair was distributed
last week, and has no doubt given satisfaction,
rs the amounts to be awarded are more liberal
than usual. The Fair win open on the 9th of
October, and, from all that We have beeu able
To learn, Will be an entire success. Much inter
est seems TO have been awakened In all parts of
the county, which presuppoies 4 large number
OF entries and an entlcing and beautiful dis
play. The ladies, we understand, intend 10 be
fully represented by all the useful and beauti-
ful articles that ladies manufacture, while the
farmers the stock-raisers, the mechanics, ma
chniStS, etc, etc, propose to contest for the
premiums in the liyelicst manner The Fair
will continue for three days, and Thursday, the
7th. will Us usual be the "bg day" OF the cXhi-
bition. Entries will be received until and on
the first day, and we hope every man, every
woman, every boy and every girl who has any
thing interesting to show will prt it on exhibit
ton. Whoever has the best, the biggest, the
prettiest, the clcaueSt, no matter what uf,-or
the most tasteful and Ingenious, will get pre-
