RAILWAY RACKET.

The first train of cars crossed the
bridge at Laredo into Mexico last
Thursday.
The highwaters this week, we learn,
have interfered with the trains on the
Memphis and Charleston road.
Trainmaster Horace Clarke has
been wrestling with the neuralgia
for several days, and has been laid up
for repairs.
About four feet of water was over
the track of the G., St. l.. q N. o.
road Thursday at Tallahatchie, Miss,
which is two and one-half feet higher
than ever known. This was in con-
sequence of the heavy rains Wednes.
day. Trains have not been running
through since; but regular trains are
running between Jackson and Cairo.
On last Wednesday night, as an
extra freight was coming south on the
c., St. l.. IN. D. road, under charge
of conductor Richardson, with engin.
eer Scott on the engine, an old man
by the name of A. V. Hyatt, formerly
of McLemoresville, stepped on the
track a few feet in front of the engine
at Bradford, and was fatally injured
The wheels passed over him, mutila
ting one leg, cutting his head, and
otherwise injuring him, so that he
lived but few minutes. The engin'
eer tried to whistle him off, but to nc
efec:. 1t is thought he was drunk.

ATWOOD.

Business at this point is very good.
j. II. Keaton d Co. have set up a
fine grist mill at this place.
Prof. A. N. Gordon, of Dyer Sta,
ton, is teaching vocal class here.
The wheat crop looks fine, though
we fear it is growing too fast. Gar
dening here is six weeks earlier than
last season, and there are peas high
enough to stick. Lettuce is heading.
Miss Scotia Belew is visiting her
friends at this place, much TO be ad.
mired by her gentlemen friends. She
is charming young lady.
Married, on last Tuesday morning,
at the residence of the brides father,
j. S. Barker, Miss d. Barker, of this
place, to Mr.. Elwood Strange, of
Huntingdon, Elder John Jones offici.
ating. Attendants, Mr.. Bud Lee
and Miss Dolly Vickers, Mr.. Hawkins
McCollum and Miss Emma Scallorn.
After the marriage nice dinner was
served, they then proceeded to the

py couple long and joyous life. 1

All the Year Round.

I call the attention of the public to
the fact that constantly keep on hand
a full supply of all kinds of meats.
During the time | have run butcher
shop in Milan have spared no pains
or perils to accommodate the public.
In 1878, during the yellow fever, |
did not leave my post, but was ready
to supply the wants of my customers.
l have staid with the people, winter
and summer, while Others have de-
serted them. Now, as the time of
year has come for me to make money,
/ ask my friends to stick as close to
me as have to them.

THE VERY LATEST.

The heaviest snow of the season fell
in Kansas Thursday.
1t is thought war between Russia
and Austria is inevitable.
1t is thought Senator Ben Hill, of
Georgia, cannot live much longer, his
malady being fatal.
Several cases of small pox have de.
veloped near Brownsville, but it is
hoped it will not spread.
Senator Edmunds positively de,
clines the appointment as one of the
Judges of the U. S. Supreme Court.
The Secretary of War has ordered
that twenty thousand rations be sent
TO Memphis for the Tennessee suffer.
ers by the food.
VIM. il. Lloyd, ex.marshal of Dy-
ersburg, shot and killed James B.
Ferguson in a saloon there last Mon
day night. Said to be in self defense.
The Memphis Cotton Exchange
thinks there will be scarcity of cot
ton seed, on account of the great food,
and requests oil mills to stop consnmp-
tion, so as to be able to supply plan
| ters.
The floods seem to grow more dis.
astrous every day. Many thousand
people in the great valley are suffering
for food, while numbers have died
from starvation and exposure. The
government is promptly sending ra-
tions to them.
The committee of Tennessee bond
holders recent held meeting in New
York, in which they resolved to
inform the Governor of Tennessee
that they were willing to take the
new bonds without the tax receivable
coupon feature, or that they are willing
to accept the co>award, which pro-
posed to give them so cents, with 6
per cent. interest.
Senator Saunders, of Nebraska, has
introduced a joint resolution propos,
ing an amendment to the Constitution
of the United States that will allow
the people to elect all Postmasters, In
ternal Revenue Officers, United States
Marshals and District Attorneys. Sen.
ator Saunders is member of the Com
mittee on Civil Service Reform and
he says that after studying this subject
carefully he is satisfied that his resolu-
ton embodies reform in its more prac-
tical shape. He claims that to make
these offices elective by the people
would relieve the President of much
of the annoyance and vexation that
now attaches to his office, and would
also be great relief to members Of
Congress. We hope it will pass.

He was carried before u. 8. Commis-
sioner w. L. Carter, when he gave

SMALL CHANGE

Grass is springing up very fast.
Peach trees are in full bloom here.
The forest trees begin to look green.
A heavy thunder and rain storm
occurred here last Wednesday night.
Mr.. Ben Shepherd has repaired
and handsomely fitted up his cottage
on Front Row.
w. Y. Williamson has torn away
the front of his residence, and is inn
proving it very nicely.
Last Wednesday was a fine day
for ducks. The rain came down in
torrents in the afternoon.
If our streets had more shade trees
the property along them would COM
mand more money in the market.
Our streets and sidewalks are now
in better condition than they have
been for many years at this season.
Let us have more mechanics and
permanent free schools. 1t is time
the property owners of Milan were
waking up.
A mulish steer cause a ripple ofex-
element near Holloway's stock yard
last Tuesday. He was almost unman-
ageable for little while.
The knights and Ladies of Honor
have a very hourishing lodge here.
Some of our best people are members,
and many more ought to join.
If Milan had a permanent system
Of good public schools, she would
soon increase her population to a won
derful extent, when property would
increase in value in the same ratio.
Candidates should remember that
not one has been elected in this coun.
ty in many years whose name was not
announced in the papers. Voters
don't think man is really in earnest
until he puts his name in the papers.
Neither do we.
Strawberries are as large as peas,
and will be ripe by the first of April,
if nothing prevents them. They are
"mighty scarce" though. The crop
here will not amount to very much,
nearly all the plants having been
killed by the drouth last year.
Mr.. Henry O'Daniel is announced
this week as candidate for Register
of this county. He is now clerk
for Trustee Ramsey, is a first rate
business man, and is very popular
with those who know him. If elected,
no doubt he will make an efficient of
| ticer.
John Gray, our excellent city mar,
shal, teasted few Of his friends
some forty or ffty-last Thursday
night, sto magnificent supper of
broiled chickens, eggs and other good
things. All enjoyed the feast and
left well. pleased, heartily thanking
their generous host.
What Milan needs is more manu>
facturers, and not more merchants,
We have as good shipping facilities
as any town in the southland as few
manufactures. 1t speaks badly for
our enterprise. Merchants are not
producers, One factory with the
same capital would be worth four
times as much to the town.
