The First Bale.

Messrs. j. r. Harrison and Swim
Caldwell, two of our most energetic
young farmers, brought in the first
bale of new cotton last Tuesday night,
and had it sold at auction Wednes.
day morning by Capt. Bill Moore,
who cried it off in his usual happy
manner. The bidding started at ten
cents. run up by quarters to abont
eleven, when Tom Harrison, the live
proprietor of the horse shoe store, bid
fourteen. Biddings were then lively
by different buyers until it reached
sixteen and threee-fourths, when it
was knocked down to Mr.. Harrison.
He says he intended to run it up to
twenty cents rather than miss it. The
bale classed as low middling and
weighed five hundred and fifty-one
pounds net, bringing the handsome
sum of S92.29. A large crowd wit
messed the sale and the smokers were
treated to a box of fine cigars by
Messrs. Harrison and Caldwell. We
congratulate the enterprising growers,
the excellent auctiOneer and the wide
awake "horse shoe store" on the sale.
All of them will no doubt make
money by the transaction. We heard
one good farmer say he was going to
buy good bill of goods from Tom
Harrison to show his appreciation OF
the event.

Dickson Press: Two children of Mr..
Willis Thompson, who resides three
miles south of Camden, were playing
in the yard, Monday evening, when
they were suddenly taken i'll, and in
twenty minutes, were both dead.
They had eaten some berries of the
deadly night shade that had grown in
the yard. Parents. look out for this
weed, as it is one of the Geadliest poi,
sons known, and is very often found
growing in yards and gal dens.

SMALL CHANGE.

er!
Crowds of school children make
the streets lively these days.
w. B. Hopkins is called pap
it's boy, and arrived Wednesday.
1t is about time for candidates for
city officers to announce themselves
The small boys (and the large ones,
too) would be glad to see circus
here.
Brown a. Dickson's new building is
nearing completion. 1t will he an
ornament to the town.
The -four corn sold by 7. M. Clark
Il Bro, of Mckenzie, is booming.
Over forty sales in two days.
Mr.. L. d. Jackson bought the
first new postal order at the Milan of
fee. The first one paid was to Mr..
II. l.. Dickinson.
All is quiet on the Forked Deer be
tween the baseball belligerents Of
Trenton and Humboldt and peace
now reigns supreme.
Last Sunday we saw man on the
street wearing an overcoat and linen
trousers. He was trying to suit him>
self to all kinds of weather.
There is talk of grading Main
street out to the ditch in the bottom.
1t will he good thing if wei! done.
Several of our streets need it.
The weather was quite cold here
last Sunday and Monday, but not
quite cold enough for frost. Fires
and overcoats were comfortable.
The continued dry weather has
caused good deal of malarial sick
ness in this neighborhood, but we be-
lieve it is generally of a mild type.
School opened at the College last
Monday with seventy.five pupils.
The number had increased to eighty
four yesterday, with a prospect Of a
good many more soon.
The Principal of Milan College re-
quests that young men will save him
the trouble of refusing them permis-
sion to visit girls attending the Col
lege. No exceptions will be allowed
on this matter.
Messrs. Jim Crawford and Edgar
Spencer, while on their way to the
camp>meeting at Wright's Chapel
last Monday night, came near having
serious accident. When within
about two miles of the camp grounds
some defect in the harness or buggy
caused the horse to back with the
buggy in such manner as to break
the shafts and otherwise injure the
buggy. The breaking of the shafts
is all that saved the boys from "reg-
ular smash up. We haven't learn
ed just how many times the boys sal
down to rest on their way hack.
Our readers attention is called to
the advertisement of the Trenton
Fair association in this paper. A
magnificent list of premiums is offer
ed for almost everything prodnced OF
manufactured by our people, and the
fair this fall ought to he the best
ever held. We urge all to prepare
for it. Let us show the world that
Gibson county is still in the lead in
West Tennessee, and let us have
county pride enough to keep there
We have much fine stock and many
enterprising people. All we need il
united effort. The fair begins OF
the 10th of October and continues
four days.

SWEET HomE.-When two vonnp pee

SWEET HoME.-When two young people
love each other and marry, they restore the
picture of the apostolic church. They are
of one heart and one soul. Neither do
they say that anything they possess is their
own, but they have all things in common.
Their mutual rust in each other, their en-
tire confidence in each other, draws out all
that is best in both. Love is the angel who
rolls away the stone from the grave in
which we bury our better nature, and it
comes forth. Love makes all things new;
makes a new heaven and new earth; makes
all cares light, all pain easy 1t is the one
enchantment of human life which realizes
Fortunio's purse and Aladdin's palace, and
turns the Arabian Nights into mere prose
| by comparison. Before real society can
come, true homes must come. AS in
sheltered nook in the midst of the great sea
of ice which rolls down from the summit
of Mount of Blanc, is found little green
spot full of tender flowers, so in the shelter
of home in the warm atmosphere OF house.
hold love, spring up the pure affections OF
parent and child; father, mother, son,
daughter; of brother and sister. What
ever makes this insecure, and divorce ire
| quent, makes of marriage not a union for
life, but an experiment which may be tried
as often as we choose, and abandoned when
we like. And this cuts up by the roots all
the dear affections of home; leaves chill
dren orphaned, destroys fatherly and moth
erly love, and is virtual dissolution Of
society. 1 know the great difficulties of
this question, and how much wisdom is
required to solve them. But whatever
weakens the permanence of marriage tends
to dissolve society; for permanent homes
are to the social state what the little cells
are to the commencement of organic life,
the centres from which all organization
proceeds.

THE SONG OF THE DUDE.

oh the dude, the beautiful dude!
The essence concentrated of trousered prude
We see him and love him, and who shall dare
To chide us for loving thing so fair?
We love his face with its smile SO bland;
We love the cane in his well-gloved hand,
We love his sombre and lofty air,
Bis tout ensemble of well-dressed care.
We love the go-to-the-party dude,
Who stands by the walls as though firmly
glued;
Who goes to the opera WITH well-banged hair,
With high silk hat and languid air.
He walks on the avenue every day,
In q clerical collar and aimless way,
He rarely smiles, and his driveling talk
Is slow like his tongue and his Ianguid walk.
IT'S sad that this animal. genus dude,
With his blase air and attitude,
Is sometimes,a youth with ambition high
Which he skillfulIy hides from the vulgar eye;
That he fixes his hopes on goal afar
Where fame and fortune and glory are,
And his air refined and his gentle smile
Are methods of hiding an inward guile.
Alack alasl for the gentle dude,
With his blase air and his attitude,
They hide no deeper thing, trow,
Than the vacuum back of his well.bapged
brow,
For his air serene and his well-cut coat
Are the sails that move his social boat.
And the wind blows low or the wind blows
high,
a dude he lives, and a dude he'll die!

fering for the last five years with severe
itching all over. have heard of Hop Bit
tiers and have tried it. Ihave used up four
bottles, and it has done me more good than
all the doctors and medicines that they
could use on or with me. l am old and
poor but feel to bless you for such relief
by your medicine and from torment of the
doctors. l have had fifteen doctors at me.
One gave me seven ounces Of solution of

from me. All they could tell was that it
was skin sickness. Now, after these four
bottles of your medicine, my skin is well,
