The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1881-04-29

IrE petty spite aud jealousy dis.
PLAYED by The Tribune and Sun last
Hefk b: Us numerous unprovokcd at
,nfks upon this paper sud our private
..klness cannot fail 10 receive The
demnation Q, generous and
king public. That VIC have done
plendid business our advertising
iumus vii. attest, and tisst lre karc
y sac.Sills promptly the banks and
Haess mon OF Jackson win bear ies-
fony. Indeed, chs milk in the
9roanut" is this; the T. & S. bueked,
rayed and kicked last week because
e had gotten our share Of the fodder.
q now it is cross and has an unmis
"A liable cnse OF the sulks.
IN regard 20 our cir ulation, we
I've heretofore announced that our
inscription books were open for the
Inspection Of any gentleman who de-
ired to advertise, which IS certainly
clearest and most tangible evil
fence that can be produced. We
Will here state thar our neighbor did
es great Injustice ia publishing the
weight OF our mail matter, sent out
&flde the county, thus leaving false
; Impression concerning our real eircu-
7afion. 1t WILDE seen from the fol-
flowing certificate from Capt. Warren,
sgnthcrn Express Agent, that large
portion Of our edition goes througI
his Office weekly. which, of course,
-i@eyer goes upon postotiice scales.
1scKsoN, Tenn, April p, 81.
hrkeby certify that tho Wing Pub
Fishing Company sends a large 'bupille
81 papers through this Office To Milan
eTery week. J. &. WARREN.,
Ag't SO. Express Co,
Again. the T & S. is larger than
The Wing. and is printed ON heavier
paper, and we leave it 10 any we'll
balanced person, or pair of scales,
whether or not respectable sheet
OF paper weighs as much as 4 bed
3ankct?
=. II must be known. Furthermore,
Mat the largest circulation of the
Whigls in jackson and Madison coun.
kty, upon which no postageis ever paid.
III hence to take posG.ofIice weights
yidssce of circulation would be
E,se@nely silly.
En 81 far as our neighbor claims that
&c Milan Exchange has no existence
that is not good nonsense, because we
have just sold the paper 10 Mossrs.
Murrell & Turner, aud it will snperccde
the Monitor next week.
Answering another charge made by
cur courteous neighbor, that we were
not entitled TO the name. West Ten
nessee Whig," we will state that
Col. w. w. Gates. the founder of the
old ship. informs us lit was the Office
and material Of the paper, not the
name Of il, he sold,' and as a matter
of course he had perfect right to re-
viye the Wing whenever he saw pro-
per. which he did over four years ago
IL our goed naiurcd neighbor felt that
Col. Gates had no authority to re-
establish the Wing after thcy had
thrown the name away, why did they
not go into the courts and claim their
rights, instead of showing their tenn
per at this late day?
In conclusion. we beg the pardon of
The public for encroaching upon their
time and space with this reply 10 the
nnkind and discourteous attacks Of
the Tribune & Sun. 1t is news the
people expect from a well-regulated
and dignified journal, ald not mali
-cious attacks against the private bust
ness of prosperous contemporary.
With this explanations. which we
deem proper TO make, we dismiss our
SratN neighbor and an improbable
c5scSsaion.
