The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1883-11-24

An intelligent local correspondent
suggests in reference to the shooting
of women in bagnio, reported in
yesterday mornings issue, that the
affair would not have occurred but for
the abominable practice of carrying
pistols. He suggests pertinently also
that if the penalty for this practice
was enforced, as in other States, it
would be suppressed, and there would
be fewer killings.-Nash. American.

and at home, where all respectable

A State paper claims that Milan is
the best location in West Tennessee
for manufactures, the two most inn
portant railroads in the state crossing
there. For the benefit of the paper
above alluded to, it might be we'll to
state that there is city called Mem
phis, on the banks of the Mississippi,
in West Tennessee, which has direct
rail and water communication with
the entire world, and which has natur-
al advantages unsurpassed in the Unit

also have large stock of the Alexan-

es. We have good supply ofGeor-
gia grown LeConte Pears, -on their
own roots. for those of our customers
who prefer them thus. These we will
sell singly, by the dozen or by the
hundred at Georgia Prices. Every
one should plant more or less of this
fine blight>proof, productive southern
pear. We recommend all who have
a home to plant some of our Riparian
Grapes. These grapes are improved
from the Seeding wild grapes of our
woods, and are fine and free from rot.
Like our other fruits, these are ma
tive "and to the manor born"-hence
their adaptability. There is no more
delicious and healthful fruit than the
grape and all should have them. In
Cherries we can offer only the old
sorts. We have in dormant bud for
season of "a the earliest Cherry
known to us after years of search and
waiting. In plums we only offer the
Wild Goose. Eastern and European
plums are not a success south. In
dormant bud for next season we have
a plum ripening with the early cher
ries- -also the "Gclden Beauty" of
Texas. The Cherry and plums above
alluded to are southern varieties.
They are referred to that you may
know we are still getting the best of
all the Southern Fruits. We partic-
ularly call attention to the smooth
ness and vigor Of our trees and their
extra fine roots. Remember that the
demand for, and price of Orchard
Fruits is increasing each year. Green
apples now worth S100 to $500 per
bushel, evaporated apples 10 to 161
cents per pound, wholesale. An APP
pie crop is as sure every alternate
year as are a crop of walnuts. You
have only to take proper and reas-
enable care of your trees. Be sure
and set a good supply of fruit trees
this season. Respectfully,

What an Egg Will Do.

For burns and scalds nothing is
more soothing than the white of egg,
which may be poured over the wound.
1t is softer as a varnish for burn
than collodlon, and, being always at
hand, can be applied. 1t is also more
cooling than the sweet oil and cotton
which was formerly supposed to be
the surest application to allay the
smarting pain. 1t is the contact with
the air which gives the extreme dis
comfort experienced from the ordinaS
ry accident of this kind, and anything
that excludes the air and prevents in
fiammation is the thing to be at once
applied.
The egg is considered one of the
best of remedies for dysentery. Beat,
en- up slightly, with or without sugar
and swallowed at gulp, it tends, by
its emolient qualities, to lesson the in
fammation of the stomach and mites,
tines, and, by forming a transient
coating on these organs, to enable ma
ture to resume her healthful sway
over a diseased body. Two or at
most three eggs per day would be all
that is required in ordinary cases; and
since egg is not merely medicine, but
food as we'll, the lighter the diet 9TH
erwise and the quieter the patient is
kept, the more certain and rapid is
the recovery.

Globe-Democrat 1t seems to be
generally agreed that the new postal
note is failure. Reports to the Post
Office Department from all parts of
the country are to the effect that the
sales do not increase, and that the
people do not appear disposed to adopt
it except in cases where odd cents are
involved. The ordinary money or.
der is preferred, and it is doubtful if
anything better than that can be in
vented. ...-.-

and was acquitted. During the March term
of Court he was tried for larceny in dwell

In all three cases he was acquitted. The

no one has been convicted for the double
murder and it is well established that the
murder was committed: The all absorbing
question is who was the perpetrator. On
the last trial it was testified that the track
of Ben johnson was bat a few feet behind
the body of the boy where he was fonnd
murdered and that the track was made there
after the hay was murdered, because the
track of the Indian was On top of the track

have the act of murder testified to by an
eye witness and then they would probably
reach the conclusion that the act was done
in self defense. The public are interested

Shortly after eleven o'clock last Friday
morning Charles Hodge died ct his resi-
dence, corner Sixth and Montgomery streets,

Oregoniaa. He was born in Newburyport,

his uncle, Charles M. Hodge, in that place,
and In l349 sailed for California via Cape
Horn, arriving early in 1850. Soon after he
established himself in business in San Fran
cisco, where he remained until 1860, when
he came to Portland and opened a wholesale
and retail drug store in connection with the
late Charles E. Calef, under the firm name
of Hodge & Calef. In 1857 this was changed
to Hodge, Calef & Co., by the admission of
Geo. W. Smell, and on the death of Mr..
Calef in 1876 the firm became Hodge, Smell
d Co. In 1873 the firms of Hodge, Shell
& Co. and 7. A. Davis s Co. were consol-
idated under the frm name Of Hodge, Davis
& Co., which continues at this time. He

Yns Cure for Had Times.

The Albany Hsra!! very appropriately
says: Many people are growing and
grurnbing about hard times III Oregon;
about dnllness of business and scarcity of
money. Here is the secret Of dull times and
scarcity of money. Read and reflect. The
Queen of the Pacific on her last trip to
Portland among other things brought %
cases OF honey, 243 sacks of beans, % cases
Of cheese, nine barrels, 20 half barrels and
four boxes Of butter, seven cases of lard,
two barrels four casks and 81 tierces of
hams, q barrels of meal, 1859 sacks of
ground barley, and the Unlatilla on her last
trip brough IA cases of honey, 80 sacks of
beans, ll9 cane of lard, two cases of bacon,
two casks three barrels one sack of hams,
two casks OF butter, three cases of cheese
aad IT'S sacks of bran. This is probably q
fair average of sual,y articles of necessity
that the steamers are landing in Portland
twice week, amounting to hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually Farmers
of Oregon must stop this leak if they ever
expect good times.
