SMALL CHANGE.

U. W. Martin, Esq., Is having a
neat cottage built ON College street,
which be will occupy for residence.
The Association Bulletin, published
by the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation at Nashville, has reached us.
1t is a sma sheet, but filed with good
reading.
Milan needs a manufacturing boom
badly. We have the hest timber all
around US and the best railroad con-
nections in the state There's mill
lions in it,
Mile Mccoy, Callie Gleason,
Mack Mccoy and John Welsh, all
colored, for disturbing the peace last
Monday night, were taxed sl2.5 so for
city purposes.
/ A world of brick is being hauled to
the "burnt district" preparatory 10
building several handsome new bust
ness houses. The work will begin at
an early day.
] A Turning chimney at the Milan
House caused fire alarm last Satur-
day night. Watch your chimneys
I this windy weather and keep your
property insured.
There is probably more money in
vested to the square yard in OSkwood
Cemetery than in any part of town.
Yet the place is worse neglected than
almost any back yard in Milan. What
PITY!
Number Two of "Among the Tenn
EIes," by our correspondent IN China,
appears this week, aud will I've follow
ell in our next by kuLlber Three.
Read them. They are interesting and
instructive.
Mr.. Il. II. Goodman is sgnin before

lion against Mr.. Long. :. He is one

We came very near having mar
risge notice or two TO announce this
week: but We heard that the parties
forgot to pay the preacher for his ser-
vices, and we consequently think they
would rather not have their names
aADIounred. II you want real nice
notice when you get married, pay the
preacher aud ubscribe for the E1- !
CHANGE.
We hesr of number ofpeople who
contemplate leaving Milan in conse>
quence of the voting down of the !
school tax last Monday. Property |
owners will find that they will lose
more in rents than their tax would |
have amounted to, and merchants |
would lose more in sales. There is
such a thing as penny wise and |
pound foolish policy.
A "greenyS from Camden went in
TO one of the railroad offices here last
Monday morning and applied for
work. One of the boys asked him
if lie could write. He said he could /
not, hut would get some one TO do it !
for him. Then TO test his mathemat-
ical capacity, they started him to
counting the cross ties between the |
telegraph poles up the Central road. |
The last we saw of him he WIS CAFE
fully at the work, stopping at each |
polA to mark the number.
We are in receipt ofs copy of Hon.
A. a. Freeman's able argument be- I
fore the supreme Court Of the District /
of Columbia in the case of II. A. Dau-
phin VS.. D. NJ. Key, Postmaster Gen.
cral. Col. Freeman is Assistant At
torney General for the P. o. Depart
ment, it win be remembered, and a
very able officer, too. = We wish him
and Gen. Key success in their efforts
to break up the numberless swindling
concerns who are daily taking advan-
tage of the mails to ply their nefari-
ous business.
