quilts were promptly carried out
and the fire extinguished, with lit

minutes more before discovery,
the whole east side Of Main street

Pain full Accident.

Mr.. James R. Nesbitt, while
working at a gin at Nesbitt and
Turner's last Wednesday, had his
shirt sleeve caught in the saws,
which jerked his right arm in,
crushing the bone in the elbow,
and cutting his hand badly. He
suffered intensely while in the gin,
as it was fifteen minutes before he
could be ext7icated. Drs. Hender-
son and Bledsoe were called in and
dressed the wounds, amputating
the third and little fngersIt was
a narrow escape, and it is a wonder
that his arm was not completely
demolished. Mr.. n. is getting on
very well at this writing.

A Happy Family.

Conductor Balch had on his

grants from Allantown, KY, en-
route for Dallas. Texas, in which
there were a man and wife, not
over fortysfve years old, who had
thirty-two in the family of chill
dren and grand children. They
all seemed to be happy, and they
thought they were going to make
a fortune in Texas. The proud
fathers name is W. S. Burch.
He had them all punched in one
end of the ear.

NWe are pleased to apnounee that
Milan College has been thorough
ly overhauled and repaired during
the vacation, making it now one
of the neatest and most comforta-
bic school buildings in the State.
Several hundred dollars have been
expended in painting, plastering,
carpentering and glazing. The
school directors have also secured
an unusually able faculty, headed
by Prof. Hooker, and we can safely
promise the public one of the very
best schools in the State. See an

I In another column will be found
the Sheriff's order for an election
here, to decide the question OF sur
rendering the city charter We
find that a number of good citizens
favor the surrender, while many
other good ones oppose it. There
are good arguments on both sides
of the question, and it will be
thoroughly discussed by citizens
before election day. Having just
returned to Milan, the writer does
not feel well enough posted to take
sides, but will give both parties
an impartial showing in these col
umns. We trust all Will consider
the matter carefully before voting,
as it is a matter of serious impor-
tance.

 Yesterday was a day which the youthful people will be likely to remember when they shall have become the oldest Inhabitants, and one of which the old people now living in this section, in refreshing their recollections, are not able to parallel in the respect, namely, of the extraordinary aspects of the eaIth and sky The illumination of the sunlight con formed to no known standards either of fair or foul weather. The clear white light into which the prismatic colors blend was mo- where to be found. Yellow assumed the mastery of all the rest Nature wore, 1t may be said iaundiced look. During the fore noon hours this appearance in color was less marked, but the clouds had treach erous look, and in the perfect still ness of the atmosphere-so perfect that the leaves upon the tallest trees did not quiver- it was difficult to resist the impression that some frightful outbreak of nature's forces was about to ensue. Many of the weather wise presaged hurricane which should be- come, as nearly as were possible in our tempe rate zone, tvphoon, and ancient mariners WHO QdQ Ialo5 tO Ec4dtc OI GAc1I experiences with wind currents of this sort in the In- dian seas held undisputed possession of sthe floor" and the unfagging attention of the "house." Not few regarded the strange conditions with still deeper apprehension and dread, and the devout among them reverted to certain passages of Apocalyptic Scripture, and the superstitious among them to the prophecies of Mother Shipton. One of this class came to the local signal service observer and most earnestly consulted that man of meteorological lore upon this exact point of a probable instant termination of all nun dane things. Though of a pious and trust full disposition, he fortified his faith, and ev- idently lifted burden from his mind when he was assured that science, as manifested through the appliances of that office, pointed to no such conclusions.
