The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1880-09-09


anon, Tenn, Tribune, a new repudia-
ton organ, has reached,us. 1t is edit
ed by Messrs Lillard Thompson and j.
G. Sanders, sprightly writers, and is
neatly printed. 1t claims so be in
accord with the principles of the DEM
ocratic party, but it looks to us very
much like it was in the interest of a
few boiling Office seekers. Personally
we like the editors aud wish them
big fortune, but We don't admire their
judgment, politically.

Messrs. Simonton. and Mathews,

friends insisted eli it We have not
room to give even a synopsis Of the
speeches; but it Is a fact that Simon
ton will receive the vote of nearly

Milan College, under the auspices
Of Prof. B. f. Hooker, was opened on
Monday last, exceeding in the number
of scholars the expectations Of its most
sanguine friends. We congratulate
Prof Hooker. 1t is sign Of the ap-
probation Of our citizens for sterling
worth in a teacher of their children.
He is not only thoroughly qualified to
impart instruction, but is discipline
rian par excellence, without. which so
many teachers fail in proper training
of the youths committed to their care.
Inshis selection of assistants he has
the cordial approval of his patrons.
Qualified in ali respects to fulfil the
duties assigned them, parents will feel
assured that, while the minds of their
children are carefully and honestly
trained, the moral duties Of life will
be sedulously cultivated BY Mrs.
Hutcherson, Mrs. Davis and Miss Cora
Moore, all estimsble ladies, who have
earned the respect of the whole COM
munity as true sud loyal women.

just published by Bedford, Clarke &
Co., Chicago. 1t is most interesting
book, and the fac simile letters and
documentary proofs given to the
public for the FIRST time hear testime-
nv of the truthfulness Of the history.
No one after beginning perusalof this
book will want to lay it aside until he
