a Marine Railway fOr Alilsord.

1t has been suggested that large re.
pair business IN small coastwise schoon-
ers aud bay tug boats, could be built in
Milford by establishing marine railway
at this place That it is true, there is no
question. We have the lumber here
cb .Aper than it can be had in Whining
TN, and the rate oflabor is almost thirty
per cent less. Vessels that carry from
400 to 700 tons can get over the bar at
the rivers mouth. and if they could be
hauled out here on marine railway,
Milford workmen would soon have all
they could do. The ground can be had
from Judge Fisher, that is especially
adapted to this work, and all it needs to
bring it about is, public spirit that will
carry it through This enterprise will be
dividend payer and capital should 60
into it freely.

THERE is a general inclination among

advertisements have been made by her Of
this part of her winter trade, but she has
made such a reduction that the ladies
are buying literally of winter dress goods
and meriro underwear. If our merchants
would make an effort to move stock in
the months of January and February,
there is no reason why they could not
dispose of the whole stock, and have the
cash to use IN their business. So far,

ON Monday T. E Heathers, of Milton,
and Curtis Macklin of Milford, were dick
ering for a horse trade, but could not agree,
and finally growing little heated about
the merits of the two animals the offer
was made for each to drive his horse
from Milford to Milton and back, and
the one arriving in Milford last would
forfeit his horse to the winner. On this
basis the race was arranged, aud at five
minutes past four p. m. they crossed
Walnut street bridge on the twenty-four
mile race. When no more than four
miles were covered, they both realized
that neither horse would be worth much
after the race--so they resumed the trade
negotiations, aud at Cedar Creek Mills it
was consummated 1t was a wise ending
of cruel arranged race.

now expect We have made no extended
