The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1886-05-08
Yates..-Fawcetts

At the Baptist church, on Wednes.
day night last, the wedding bells rang
loud and clear, and the beauty and
chivalry of Milan gathered there to
witness the marriage of Miss Ida Faw.
cett, of this city, to Rev. R. I. Yates,
of Tyler, Texas. 4Ro Rev. A. G.
Fawcett, of Poplar Bluff, Ark, per,
tormsd the ceremony in very i'm
pressive manner. The bride is a
young lady of rare accomplishments,
and has led a most useful and active
life, having taught school for several
years in Texas. Milan was always
proud TO claim her as her own. The
groom is talented and rising young
Baptist minister of Texas. In com.
plimcnt to both, the church was very
artistically decorated in choice cut
flowers, the handiwork of the Ladies
Aid Society. There were eight brides
maids in attendance; the first four be
ing little misses of ten summers, whose
mission was to strew flowers dowr
each aisle, thus making "a fowery
pathway for the bride and groom
May this betoken for them a life o
unalloyed sweetness and happiness
We extend to the happy couple on
very best wishes. They left on the
a. m. train to attend the Baptist con
vention at Montgomery, Ala.

Hon. A. c. Estes is making a Wig.
orous canvass for the nomination of
Judge of this circuit, and he makes a
fine impression everywhere he goes.
We copy a thoughtful article from
the Mckenzie News, which indicates
the feeling in neighboring counties.
Milan people have a warm place in
their hearts for Mr.. Estes,
BY reference to our railroad times
card, in the first column Of this page,
it will be seen that the l.. d N. peo>
pie have made some important
changes in the running of their trains.
No. 3, west bound, now arrives and
departs at 1886 PM, Ssand does not
take dinner. No. 2, east bound, ar
rives at $50 p. M, takes dinner and
leaves at 2,l0. The change in the
night trains is slight. A fast fruit
train, going east, leaves here at 7,05
p. m.
The official call to nominate candi-
dates for county Offices includes that
of clerk of the Humboldt law court.
Does the committee intend that the
delegates of the whole county shall
nominate candidate for an office 10
which only four districts are inter
ested? It seems to us, if a conven,
ton is necessary for law court clerk,
that it would be proper to hold il
! either in Humboldt OF Milan. The
people are displeRsed with that fea'
ture of the committees work.

"Were Two Inquests Heidi"

On the Oath Of April, a notice APPS
peared in the Exchange of an inquest
being held over the body OF dead
man on the |. G. road, three mi es
north of Milan. | am the author of
tina. statement. l then had in my
possession verdict sned by thejury
in that case, and said verdict has since
BEEN fled in the clerks Office in
Trenton. In the last issue of the Elk
change contradictory statement was
made, which calls for an explanation
from me, which | will give as follows:
On the morning of the 18th of April,
l was out in the country and didn't
know that such an accident had hap>
pened until l got within three hun
bred yards of the place. When | got
to where the man vas, | found a con-
siderable crowd of people there, and,
among others, seven gentlemen from
Milan, who sold me that they had
been summoned early that morning
by Esq. Hale to hold an inquest.
Hale was to have gone with them,
but failed to do SO. They couldn't
tell why he didn't come with them or
what had happened to him to cause
his non,appearance. They asked me
to hold the inquest, as they wanted to
get back. / told them to wait and
give him all the time they could, thai
as Esq. Hale had failed to get on the
hand-car it was possible he woulC
come through in buggy. So We
waited about an hour longer. The
jury had then been on the ground twC
or three hours, and the man had beer
dead about fourteen hours, lying
there exposed to the heat Of the sun
1t seemed to me that the case demand
ed immediate attention. The jury in
sisted that | take charge Of the case
| at last agreed to do so, believing
then as do now, that it was my duty
not believing, however, that Esq
Hale would take any ofenSe at it, a
my intention was to give him tn
benefit of it. | called up the sam
Jury that had been summoned, swOrC
them in and examined the body ant
all the effects we could find; hat
brought before US several witnesse
and closed the case. About this tim
some one said that Esq, Hale had ar
rived. sent him word to come u
where we we're, but instead of COMM
he sent us word 10 come down wher
he was. As | always try to suit my
self to the accommodation of Others
we went. Before any one cOnld eX
plain, he told Mr.. Williamson to ca
that jury. He did SO. Some one G
the jury ,old Esq. Hale that they ha
organized under Heathcock, and tnt
an inquest had been held, He wouldn
listen to any explanation, but demand
ed of them that they he sworn agall
The Jury, like myself, not wishing
create any excitement, submitted, al
he went ahead and weat through tt
form of all inquest.
Now the question Is, were thel
two inquests held or was one fare
If so, which one?

81 hope you will notice the amount
of rainfall in Los Angeles during
winter. 1t was only yesterday q
prominent physician of New York
city expressed great surprise when !
told him that there were only from
twelve to twenty rainy days In Los
Angeles during the rainy season. He
said he thought it rained there con-
tinuously during that period.
"By the first of June the atmos-
phere, both day and night, is very
dry, and also very pure. 1t is moth
ing unusual in Los Angeles during
the summer to see long strings OF
meat hanging up, day after day, free

OF putrefying, it cures, or, as the ma
tives say, Jerks Prof. j. w. Red
way, a well-known scientist, tells me
that TASKS containing carefully pre-
pared cultivation solutions will re-
main sweet many days before they
show signs of breaking down. The
air is so pure and dry that persons of
delicate health may camp out, sleep
ing on the ground in the open air.

years | learn that the average tenn

the average temperature OF Janu-

difference in average temperature OF
hottest and coldest months in Los
Angeles of less than lS', while the
difference between the average tenn
perature of the coldest and the aver
