A Shot from n Country Veteran.

The grand annual shoulderirg Of crutch,s
and showing of how fields were won, at
Portland, reminds the historian of an occur
renee at a similar reunion at Chicago few
years ago. There was a sort of a competi-
ton among the veterans that year in the
matter Of wounds, and Col Rickaby, a we'll
known Chicago lawyer and seni-politician,
who had really Teen a brave soldier, though
be lacked the soldisrly quality of modesty,
distanced all competitors by appearing at
the banquet in suit Of clothes
with apertures cut through them ex-
actly corresponding with all the wounds
be had received in the service. As
he had had the good fortune, for public
man, to be shot full of holes and recover, he
presented an exceedingly perfora ted appear
ance at the banqueting board. Here" he
remarked in his voluable way, pointing to
one of bis grievous rents, ~ was wounded
at Pittsburg Landing; this cut represents
bayonet thrust at Vicksburg; piece of q
shell, exploded at Port Hudson, cut through
here" etc, etc.
A veteran from the country ventured to
ask the colonel whether shot had ever
struck him in the jaw, and the rebel fire at
Fort Wagner wasn't any more withering
than the look that Rickaby gave him-

Anecdotes Of Gen. Anson Stager.
TNew York Timesl

A listener can pick up a good many char
acteristic stories of the brusque old tele.
graph manager. One day year or so ago
Gen Stager got into Fourth avenue horse
car to ride up town. He had his evening
paper and was deep in the intricacies OF the
abundant miscellany when q cold-hsarted
conductor tapped his shoulder and asked for
fare. Carelessly he reached into q pocket
for the needed coin; it was q vain search;
one pocket after another gave back the
same message; he was down town without q
penny. Some weak-minded young women
with some weak minded young men on the
seat over the way affected msrriment over
tho passengers evident confusion. Then .
mere lad at the other end Of the car pressed
q nickel into the conductors hand. "Whats
your nams and where do you liver de-
manded Stager, as, n few blocks further OH,
no prepared to lsavs the car. Tho boy an
swered. When he went to school the next
day he wore a gold watch.
A self-contained young man came to Gen.
Stager to ask his help toward securing q re-
sponsible place in a downtown banking
house. @Have you got sweetheartp was
the bluff and pointed question that the
caller met mo. SIR" was his somewhat
proud reply. Then go and get one. I'm
afraid Of young men who are mashed on
themselves Go find an honest girl; that's .
better guarantee Of honesty than all the
bonds your friends can give" The coveted
place. it is related, went to another man.

Cremieux could return to Paris he took a

CITY ELECTION.

The election of Mayor and Alder
men last Saturday passed off quietly
no drunkenness or disturbance of
any kind occurring. The new Mayor,
Eli N. Stone, Esq, was complimented
with more votes than his three com,
petitors combined received just
evidence of his great popularity. We
believe the people have not misplaced
their condolences. Two of the old al,
dermen, Messrs Haun and Taylor,
were reelected, and Uncle Jimmy
Blankinship, VITO has heretofore
served on the bo,rd most acceptably,
was also elected The fortunate can,
didates all express themselves fully in

KIND WORDS.

We clip the following compliment :
tary notice of Milan from a letter OF
Mr.. John E. Corlett in the North
Iowa Times, McGregor. 10. Mr..
Corlett has the thanks of our people
for bis kind words, AMI we will be
glad'to see him and his friends among
US again. The frigid weather of the
northwest is driving many people into
this country, and we expect a boom
around Milan next year.
Our Middle Tennessee tour began
at Milan, a promising town, situated
at the crossing of the Memphis and
Louisville branch Of the Louisville,
Nashville and Great Southern R. r.
and the Illinois Central. Population
Of Milan between 1000 and 5000; has
fine college and excellent public
schools; a live newspaper is published
with a large circulation, judging by
the pile of paper on the press table; it
is called the Milan Exchange, owned
and published by w. A. Wade, a
dever gentleman, whose acquaintance
we made during our three hours stay
at Milan. Like other towns in Glib
son county, Milan has considerable
manufacturing going on in the town,
and is shipping point of much i'm,
portance, During the months of Sep.
TENDER and October, Milan shipped
over the L. Il N. and l. G. roads,
762 bales of cotton, besides large
quantities of other produce. The
country about is very productive, and
it was in this county, Oct. 9th. we
saw the farmers shipping to market d
second crop of potatoes and late
peaches. Lands in this section are
for sale at very reasonable prices, De-

To Land Owners.

Rankin. Wade u Co., real estate
agents, have made arrangements with
land agents in Indiana and Illinois by
which they think they can bring &C.
tual buyers here to purchase farms
and other real estate from those who
wish to sell. These northern agents
inform us that purchasers generally
prefer to deal Though local real es-
tate agents, SO that they may be as
Sured of the titles, taxes, etc, and
very few will buy direct from owners.
If those who have lands to sell will
place them in the hands of our home
agents, we believe many sales can be
made during the next few months.
Fix on the lowest price at which you
will sell--and have only one price =
record your land with this agency
and it will be literally advertised
throughout the northwest and sale,
made without one cents cost to you
Do you want any fairer proposition

Editor Exchange;
In writing of Vanderbilt, you say
"He at one time gave 100000 to
Vanderbilt University" You live in
Tennessee, and you ought to know
that Vanderbilt has given nearly one
million dollars to that University, and
perhaps more. Why, sir, his first gift
was 100000. | suppose you think
you print newspaper.

Cornelius Vanderbilt, father of W.
H. Vanderbilt, gave about $1,000,
600 to the University. The Exchange
was correct ia its statement. w. H,

prohibition at Work.

The wholesale liquor men and 9th.

good prohibition work here lately.
First came the assignment of Emer-
son Blankinship, for the benefit of his
creditors. Then, last Saturday, folS
lowed the closing of the two saloons
run 10 the name of Wallace Lusk,
by attachment. 1t seems that Hen
ry Blankinship was a silent partner
of Lusk, that they had misunder,
standing about a settlement, and
Blankinship told some of his credi,
tors to make their money out of the
stock, when other creditors stepped il
and attached the stock Of both saloons
Lusk, it is charged, had two barrels o
whlskey and several boxes of othel
goods carried from the depot to thu
country. Saturday morning, and con-
cealed them in smoke house. Dep
