Leap Year SOciable.

A leap year party was given by the
young ladies of Milan last night at
the college, and it is one that will
live in the memory Of the married
and young people of Milan. The
elite or the city were present. At
8 o'clock the pretty girls of Milan
and invited guests could be seen at
Henderson q Martins drug store,
looking at each happy gentleman as
he walked in to see if he was the one
she was to entertain. A few minutes
later happier crowd was never seen
in Milan, and on arriving at the col
lege they were Joined by good many
married couples. Soon after arriv-
ing the young ladies began exchang-
ing the y.ung gentleman. The
ladies in their beautiful white dresses,
and gay laughter, fitting around the
room was the prettlest sight ever seen
in town. The ladies promenaded
with father, and the mothers with the
gallant sons. AT II o'clock the la
dies took the gentlemen TO the South
ern Pacific where ice cream, cake,
lemonade and every thipg that was
lovely was served. After luncheon
they all gathered in the parlor where
some excellent music was rendered by
several ladies. 1t was one of the
most successful and enjoyable affair:
ever given in Milan. Misses Emma
HutC helson, Mickis Hansbro, Ethel
and Fora Pearce have the the thanks
Of the happy throng for their earnest
work in getting up the sociable anc
in making every one enjoy themselves
At 1 o'clock the merry crowd re
turned home to dream of the pleasant
hours which had passed SO quickly.

observation-disclosures VS.. 4 BIS.

The Browns and A BIS played a
match game of ball for the champion,
ship of Milan, in which the Browns
were badly defeated, the score stand
ing 19 to 5. The Browns could not
get in on the BIS pitcher. He is
the pitcher of Pitcherville. The
Browns sawed the wind while Will
Ware took in the balls on three
strikes. The Browns took their de-
feat well and say they expected to
get beat. The writer of this is one of
the Browns, but wishes he had been
one of the 4 BIS. The Browns have
been considered the strongest nine
here, but it is now conceded that
they can't play ball to let the A BIS
give them six goose eggs in nine in
nings. Hurrah, hurrah for the BIS,
the little champions of Milan. You
have done what you have claimed
you could do; beat the Browns and
wear the horns. Think you have
knocked the Browns out of time,
don't think they will ever rally.
There has been some hard feeling be-
tween some of the Browns and BIS,
but think the game Wednesday has
ended the hard feelings and they will
now be able to consolidate a good nine
to take in neighboring towns.

DICK BLAIR.
Killed in Henderson County by an I'M
known Party last Week.


News reached here last Wednes-
day that Dick Blair, formerly of Glib
son Station, and we'll known in this
county, was killed in Henderson
county one day last week by some
unknown person. From what we
could gather, it seems that Blair had
told several persons in the hills that
he was a detective from Milan, and
it raised the temper of some good
"moonshiner' and he proceeded to
stop Mr.. Blair from investigating the
mysteries hidden in the hills of old
Henderson. When his body was
found it was badly decomposed and
the buzzards had began to eat the
body. It is supposed that he was
killed the latter part of last week.
No clue to the murderers.
