The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1880-07-22
Sanitary.

What are cur city authorities doing
to prevent sickness IN Milan? This
question should beanswered promptly.
We hear muchcomplaint about the
inmumerable stencheS of the cutters,
bitches and back alleys. We know
the financial condition of the town is
bad, hut that should be no reason for
allowing filth and dead animals to ac-
cumulate. We suggest that the SANTA
ry committee visit and inspect the
premises of every person in town
and require them to be kept in good
sanitary condition. Then let the au>
thorities clean and lime the streets
and other public property. There Is
considerable sickness in town, and we
have reason to believe that it is caused
by the unsanitary condition Of the
place. Filth is certain to be followed
by sickness. 1t is the duty of every
citizen to help the authorities in this
matter, and all good citizens will when
1t is brought to their attention. The
worst part of the summer is yet to
come, yellow fever is now in New
Orleans, and it may reach here before
winter. Let Us put cur town in good
condition, and, whether it reaches Us
or not. we will be healthier and hap
pier. This is written in no complain
ing or critlcizing spirit, but with the
hope Of doing good for all.

follows in regard to GardeId's letter Of

Il regard the document as a weak
one, when consider what Gen. Gar

moral tone in the letter that Is disap>
pointing. It's not calculated to gain
any votes outside Of the party, and
certainly Is not satisfactory to the
class Of Republican voters who have
been for several years represented by
the New York Nation. 1t is an APP
peal to the stalwart machine element
in the party that convinceS me that
Gen. Garfield doubts. His assertion
of the nation with the large N is Of
course directed to the stalwart element,
ard his plain and flat declaration that

A Bold Robbery.

On Tuesday, between the hours of

fingered gentry paid 4 visit to our
town. By means of 4 ladder an ems
trance was made into the sleeping
room of Messrs Ing and Long, over
the store of Brown IL Dickson, where
having procured from the pocket of
Mr. Long, his safe key; they retraced
their steps, descending the ladder.
Access was obtained to L. A. Collins
Banking House, through the transom
of the rear door, and an unsuccessful
attempt was made to enter his safe,
but the mechanismand strength OF the
safe proved too much for these CbcUa-

tanned, was a fine pistol. Easy access
was obtained from the banking house
through the petition door Leading into
Brown & Dickson's store, where Mr.
Long had his safe, which was rified of
three silver watches and ninety dol
lars, the property of Mr. Long. No

the county. The idea Of Milan

son county. 1t hasn't half the business
houses nor one-fourth the manutucto-
ries that Humboldt has. And we are
told that their census report as made
in Trenton lacked large number Of
being 1900. We are positive of one
thing, Thought Milan has 1910,
we have 1920, and our census-takers
have made Il great mistake In two
months we will have 200 more OF a
population to operate our new factory,
then where will mighty Milan be ?
Humboldt Argus.
If we were disposed to handy words
with our neighbor, we might show
many reasons why Milan is larger
town than his village, but, as be adj
mits it in the above extract-although
trying to cover his disappointment in
Il few groundless assertions aud sarcas-
tic sentences-we will let the matter
drop. By his own showing, our town
has the larger population, and he
shows his chagrin a little TO plainly
by chargingfllse returns TO our census
enumeration. We should not have
"cut up" Il bit Of Humboldt had prov
en- to be larger than Milan by several
hundred. In fact, we expected it.

1892. That paper also adds Il to the
population of Humboldt more than
the enumerator reported. The cor

most populoas town in the county.
