The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1882-10-28

The present comet in the eastern
sky, which can be distinctly seen by
everyone at early morning, is GER.
tainly the most remarkable one of
all the modern comets. Prof. Lewis
Swift, director of the Warner Obser.
vatory, Rochester, N Y, states that
the comet grazed the sun so closely as
to cause great disturbance, so much
so that it has divided into no less than
eight separate parts, all Of which
can be distinctly seen by good tel,
escope. There is only one other in
stance on record where comet has
divided, that one being Biella's comet
of 1916, which separated into two
parts. Applications have been made
on Mr.. H. H. Warner by parties
who have noted these cometary off,
shoots, claiming the 5000 prize for
each one of them. Whether the
great comet will continue to produce
a brood of smaller comets remains to
be seen.

A Dream Verified.
From the Nashville American.

One of the most remarkable in
stances of the verifcation of dream
was realized in the triple fatality,
which occurred in Knoxville yester-
day. On Wednesday Messrs. Hoop
er Harris, S. II. Bell and r. H.
Stannard were sitting in front of the
office of the Tennessee Brokerage AS.
ISOLATION, when the subject of dreams
was preached. The first named of
these gentlemen said that he had, on
the night previous, had peculiar
dream to the effect that Gen. Mabry
and his son had been killed in Il
street difficulty at Knoxville by Maj.
Thos. O'Conner, who was himself
killed. When the terrible news came
from Knoxville yesterday Mr.. Har,
ris' narration of his dream REQUIRED
with startling force to the gentlemen
who heard it, and the story OF the
dream, and its verification was CONS
mon talk OH the streets yesterday.
The incident becomes even more re-
markable when it is known that Mr..
Harris was not aware Of any unpleas-
ant relations existing between the
parties.

The democracy all over the north
and east are in line shoulder to shout
der and the republicans are in sever
al states deserving their colors by
hundreds and thousands. There is
fine prospect for sweeping victory
all along the line; and yet Tennessee
democrats are quarreling over a mis-.
cradle little state debt and dividing
among themselves. Let us rally as
one man and put Tennessee in line.
Read what the St. Louis Globe,Dem-
ocrat, a republican journal says, of its
party in New Hampshire:
The Republicans of New Hamp~
shire are chewing each other up, and
some papers down east say the State
"will have to be added to the list of
very doubtful States" where it had
a place not very many years ago. The
cause of the trouble is too much Fill
leyism and money. Some 400 Re-
publican voters in Cheshire County,
where Samuel w. Hale, the candI-
date for Governor, lives, have gone
ever to the Democrats in a body, and
ex-senator Wadleigh is going to take
the stump against Hale in his own
town. Inasmuch as there are only
1900 Republicans in Cheshire Coun-
ty, the desertion of 400-in the can
didate's own county. too-is quite a
landslide.

Mr.. A. S. Curry, of Trent

Mr.. A. s. Curry, of Trenton, is
announced as an independent candi-
date for the legislature on the Fus-
sell platform. The republicans met
in Trenton last Saturday and did not
make nominations, but we understand
agreed to support-Kelly, republi-
can, for the senate, and Messrs. Cur
ry and Hoffman for the lower house.
The latter gentleman is editor of the
Humboldt Argus and an indepen>
dent greenback candidate. This GER
tainly is badly mixed ticket-a trio
to match the great 3>paw combination
of Hawkins. RUSSELL and Beasley.
We have not heard of any one here,
besides republicans, who will support
them.

A daring attempt was made to bur>
glarize the Franklin National Bank
on the night of the 18th, and would
probably have been successful but for
the fact that in attempting to open

was awakened, and warned the burg
lars with a shot gun to leave, which
they did without any booty.

From the Jackson Dipatch: Last
Friday evening Mr.. E. B. w. Hobbs,
an old and respected citizen of the
18th district of this county, commit
ted suicide by taking an ounce dose
of morphine. He was addicted to
the use of alcoholic stimulants and
suffered from the effects of it. 1t is
supposed that his sufferings led him
to commit the rash act that caused
the loss of his lite. He was an old
citizen and soldier in the Mexican
war.

Prospects For Racing.

To the question asked Col. Belknap to-day,
how the prospects were for a week of good rae
ing this winter, he replied:
IA number OF the business men of the city
have contributed to the amount of $IaU. To
hold these races SaGo is absolutely required for
prizes, and to make it an object for owners of
fine stock to bring their horses to this city. A
large portion of the community are entirely
indifferent. and will not contribute Il cent: nor
do they care whether any attractions are offer
ed to draw their customers to the city. 1t will
be folly to attempt these races unless it can be
well DONE" And he feels so discouraged at the
want of unity among the people as to be willing
tn abandon il entirely.
