A few cotton ginneFs were at Tur.
ner and Dodson's gin on Tuesday Of
last week to witness the work of VIM.
Jarrelps patent cotton duster and
condenser which he had put in for
them. All agreed that il was .he
best cleaner and condenser they ever
saw, and will enhance the value Of
cotton wonderfully. II will no doubt
be used extensively in the cotton
states, as it should be.
We are convinced that our crit,
cism of the town officers last week
was unjust to Mayor Stoqe. He has
allthe time urged the Marshal and
the aldermen to perform their differ,
ent duties, and has at times looked af.
ter matters which his duties do not
require of him. He has been faith.
ful, conscientious officer, and asks all
citizens to report any infractiOns Of
law to him, when he will give them
his prompt attention.
Milan College has been leased by
the trustees to the mayor aud alder
men for fOrty-nine years. The lease
provides that the entire premises shal.
be put and kept in good repair, and
the building kept insured. Under the
management of the board of education
a common and high school is to be
maintained each year, and the prem
ises to be used for no other thar
school purposes The lease was signeG

given. The board of education me

The proposal is TO run up rope lines from

way that the rope towing train up one
side of the hill will be wound up by the
same cylinder and same engine which
pays oil the rope of the train that de.
sends on the opposite side. This system
has been already successfully tried at
Lyons on the line which runs up to the
heights of Croix. Rouse and Fourvieres,
