Milan's Bonds.

A correspondent of the Nashville
American Ga bondholder, we pre-.
sume) is not at all satisfied with the
decision of the supreme court in the
case of Milan VS.. the Tennessee Cen
tral r.. r. He loses his temper
and uses some ugly language be,
cause our people are pleased at their
release. 1t may be well enough to
inform him that the election which
ordered the issuance of those bonds
we are informed was carried by lille.
gal votes. Old citizens here state it
as fact. Further, the legislature or
dered the issuance of six per cent.
bonds; but the board issued eight per
cent. bonds, which was certainly
without authority. And, to clinch
the matter, the supreme court has
said their issuance was illegal, and
ordered their cancellation. The rail-
road has not been built, Milan has re-
ceived no benefit from the bonds, thew
were illegally issued, and the ques.
tion of their payment has been SUBJ
mitted to the courts for decision.
This is all that the highest state credit
men ask. Milan would have paid
them if the court had so ordered, al.
though it would have been a hard
ship. 1t is tough on the bondholders,
but they have recourse on the rail,
way, we presume, and we are perfect
ly willing for them to make their
money out of it. BY the way. how
much did the bondholder pay for
that bond, anyhow?

Storms and Cyclones

Seem to prevail the entire country,
but nice Laces, nice Lawns, nice
white Goods, nice Dress Goods, nice
Slippers, nice Shoes, the coolest Hoop
dediddles, the incest Linen listers,
and every other kind of nice and
fashionable goods are more numerous,
and are being more profusely scatter>
ed, than ever known before from the
Horseshoe Store. They are nobby,
tasty, comfortable and desirable, and
you ought to hurry in and buy your
goods from Tom HARRISON.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.

White> headed cabbage, home :
grown, are sold on our streets.
Nearly everybody around here has
set out strawberries this spring.
Wild goose plums are ripe. Ship
ments are being made. They are
very scarce, though.
Fruit shipments from here con-
tinue good, but not near what was
expected. The failure is almost COM
plete.
A hard fight is being made against
grass and weeds around Milan. En-
ergy will win the victory over "Gen-
eral Green," though.
Three train loads of tropical fruit
passed here last Monday. In-the lot
wero twenty>seven car loads of ba.
nanas, mostly for Chicago.
To give an idea of what can be
made on strawberries here, we will
state that we learn that Mr.. Cobell's
net profits on less than two acres
amount to over four hundred dollars
this season. We have not the exact
figures, as we have not met him for
several days; but we believe we are
within the mark in our statement.

hanged, as will be the others when

DIR. Kelsay, of Jackson, will be
here the 1st, I'd, Sd and 4th proxi>
mo. He has been very successful
with his patients in this community,
having accomplished several remark
able cures. We say this on the au-
thority of the patients themselves,
who are responsible persons. Work
done is the only true test of medical
skill, and the Doctors works are here
to speak for themselves. -Bro,sns,

Miss Moie House has returned
from a visit to jackson and Montezu>

Our handsome young friend, Banks
McKelvy, of Kenton. was in town
this week.
Miss Alice Hurt has returned from
the Brownsville school, and Mr.. Fred
Collins from the University at Knox
vile.
Capt. w. S. Moore, after a two
weeks visit to relatives in Arkansas,
returned home last Tuesday, wonder
fully pleased with his trip.
Rev. w. II. Armstrong will de-
liver temperance sermons at Green-
field tomorrow morning and evening.
Rev. A. j. Wheeler will fill his pull.
pit here.
We learn from the Trenton Globe
that Mr.. Walter E. Moore, of the
Humboldt Argus, was married to
Miss Addie Perry in that city on
Tuesday of last week. AS the Ar.
gus has not reached this office, we
take it for granted that its publica.
tion was suspended one week in hon.
or of the event. The new-made some"
have the congratulations and earnest
good wishes of the Exchange,
We have neglected to state that
Mr.. McKennon, the popular Ex>
press clerk here. has been called to
Paducah, and that Mr.. A. j. Wood,
of Hopkinsville, KY, has taken his
place here. We wishthat the change
may be pleasant to both. Johnnie
Stapleton also went to Paducah, and
his place has been filled by his broth
er Martin. Both are industrious boys,
and we hope they will rise to high
places in the company.
Gen Gordon. one of the state rail-
road commissioners, was in our town
last Thursday, interviewing shippers
and others. He says that the rail.
roads are manifesting a disposition to
cooperate pleasantly with them, and
he hopes that all questions of dis.
elimination will be amicably arrang-
ed, so that that there will be no ne-
cessity for lawsuits. The railroads
have it in their power to build up all
the towns on their lines and make
friends of all thinking, fair.minded
people.
! Mr.. G. L. Clement and Miss
Maud A. Dickinson were married on
the 18th inst, at the residence of
Mr.. S. HI. Dunaway, in Arkansas
City, Ark. The fair bride is sister
of Mr.. j. H. Dickinson, of this
city, and has many friends here, all
of whom wish her much happiness.
The Journal of that city, says: "This
marriage is striking exemplifca-
tion of the fact that what is called
puppy love- never dies. Years gone
by these these two, who are made
one, were pupils in Bluff Spring
Seminary, in Gibson county, Tenn,
then presided over by Col. j. w.
Dickinson, he a little black eyed
boy; she a small fax-haired child.
There in that school the two stood
around their teachers knees and
learned their ab abs, together. Gu
pid was ever upon the alert to cast
his darts. He did his work, however
effectual this consummation well at

The Nashville Artisan is one of
the handsomest and most readable

cheap for the money.
Our correspondents have lengthy
articles on free trade and tariff for
revenue this week. Mr.. Caldwell
goes deep into history and shows dill
gent research and study.
Grocerymen say their business is
lighter here this year than ever.
Cause: Plenty of meat and bread
made in the country. This keeps
money at home, and is consequently
better for all concerned.
The June number of the Tennessee
Journal of Education is peculiarly
interesting one to teachers. 1t seems
to us that it would pay every teach
ec to read this excellent journal reg
ularly. Subscription only 81 per year.
Messrs. Brown q Dickson are pre-
pairing to build a large brick store on
the corner Of Main and Williamson
streets. The brick are being hauled
by Mr.. Coulter, who will do the
brick work. Ground was broken
yesterday.
A young grocery clerk tried hard
to got up bet with a preacher here
last Monday, thinking he was drum
mer. Apology was made and ac.
cepted, but the y. G. C. was exhorted
to go to church often enough to learn
the faces of the ministers.
Messrs. Walker & Terry, sewing
machine builders and adjusters, did a
good piece of work for us this week,
and, we believe, are giving satisfac>
tion to others here. They will re-
main hese few days longer. Head
quarters at Mr.. Mitchum's boarding
| house.
A number of conductors and en-
gineers of the L. 9. road passed up
last Wednesday, bound for the Chi
cago railway exposition. That COM
pany has sent many of its employees
there during the past week or two,
and we have no doubt it will be bens
Gifted thereby.
A severe storm of wind, rain and
lightning passed over this section
Thursday night. The flashes of light
ming were almost continuous for about
two hours. A few miles eas: of here
the hardest rain fell that has fallen
IN years and the wind blew down
much fencing and timber. The wind
blew first from the north, then shift
ed around to the east, south and
west.
Owing to sickness. we were unable
to hear Mr.. Armstrong; temperance
sermon last Sunday; but we learn
that large audience was present and
that the effort was a masterly one,
which it is hoped will result in good

will be delivered by Rev. Mr.. Eoff,
at the Baptist church, one week from
Tomorrow, when service will not be
held at the other churches. Let him

Tt,e Gas Ernud.

Night before last there were 5000 strangers
in Washington, and yesterday many of
these people were romarking upon the
fact that there were no street lamps
in the capitol city. The citizens
vainly pointed out the lampposts to the
critical strangers, and explained that they
were numerous in overy section, but the war
Scared veterans shook their heads and de-
clined to believe that the iron uprights wero
other than hitohing posts or scratch-my- backs
erected by some philanthropic imitator of
the duke of Argyle. 1t is not surpris-
ing that tho strangers should have
formed such an opinion. On Tuesday
night there was not lamp
lit in the city, and persons desirous. of
peregrinating around town were compelled to
make their way by the sense of touch alone.
1t is high time for the lighting system of
Washington to be rovolutionized. The WASH
ington Gaslight company should be ousted
from its supreme dictatorship if by no other
means the publics desire can be attained. 10
would be infinitely preferable to have the
streets illuminated by oil lamps, than to do
pend upon the spasmodic gas, which in turn
depends upon the intermittent clouds. The
people Of this city have passively suffered the
gaseous indignity long enough. 1t is time
for the Inauguration Of active measures.
