Exch VOL. X. MILAN, TENN., OCTOBER 20, 1883. NO. 34. Milan CHAPTER XII. Ladies I don't fail to read this, it may be of service to you. A popular writer has said : if the ladies all knew how to please their husbands and keep them in good humor, there would be less work for the divorce courts. A wag at our elbow remarks : "the best way to do it is to feed them well." A man's happiness has its beginning in the kitchen, and reaches its culmi nating point when? Now on this point there is a difference of opiuion, but there seems to be no reason to doubt that the acme of his happiness is reached when he enters the store of J. Winter & Co., corner of Third and Market Streets, Louisville, Ky., and sees displayed under the brilliant electric light by night, or by the clear light of day, stacks upon stacks of beautiful and attractive wares for the adornmeut of the outer man; an "audible"' smile fur ther illumes his countenance when the affable and accommodating salesman convinses him without any trouble that he can dress himself in elegant and tasty style at very moderate cost, and thus allow his wife a new bonnet, or a few yards more trimming? for her dress 1 and if there should be any "future presidents" in the family, J. Winter & Co. can fit them out in a cheap, sub stan tial school suit, or Sunday suit, for less money than inferior goods can be bought for elsewhere. Children's Boys' and Youths' Clothing iu endless va riety, and they were never so cheap as now. It niust be borne in mind that these are "home made goods. Superior in every respect to the "factory made" stuff with which the country is flooded. Everything pertaining to the outfitting of man or boy, be he ever so large or ever so small, can be found in endless variety in the spacious bazaar of J Winter & Co. Vistors to the city, either for the purpose to visit the Great Southern Exposition, or for business, and whether they wish to buy or not, should call and see this exposition of Louisville manufactured clothing, and hear the prices. Per sons who will buy clothing from irresponsible dealers have only themselves to blame when they get "bit.'. Iu "Gents' Furnishing Goods" this house carries the largest stock in the city; it is unnecessary to enumerate any particular article, as anything in this line that you can ask for the obliging salesman will promptly pluce be fore you. Cut this out and paste it in your hat. RAILROAD TIME-TABLE. GRHAT JACKSON KOUTE. Illinois Central Railroad. After May 27th. trains will leave Milan ai follows: SOUTH. NORTH.

I refer to Henry Blankinship's Res taurant and Oyster Saloon, in the Clark Hall, which is fitted up in the very best style, at great expense. This excellent new place was opened to the publio last Monday night with an Oyster Supper, free for all, which was served in the very handsomest manner by tho cook, "Elijah." He can't be beat Mr. Blankinship de serves the praiseof both country and town, and should be liberally patrou ized. I understand that a first class square meal will be served in city 6tyle at 35 cents. The affable and polite W. B. Hopkins bus charge, which is a guarautee that all will he pleased. ' f "Epicure." The Great Shows. S. H. Barrett & CoV, as can be seen elsewhere in our columns, will exhibit at Huntingdon, Friday; Nov. 2d; Dresden, Saturday Nov. 3d; Un ion City, Monday, Nov. 5th; Tren ton, Tuesday, Nov. 6th and Jackson, Wednesday, Nov. 7th. It is astonishing to see the immense icks of Clothing and Goods that Conley is selling every day. People will trade where they can get the worth cf their money. PERSONAL. Col. Colcainp, superintendent of this division of the L. & N. road, spent a few hours here Tuesday. He is a live, energetic railroad man. . Mr. Ben. P. Moore and Miss Sallie Dinwiddie were married iu McKenzie last Monday, after which they went north on a bridal tour. They have the earnest good wishes of the Exchange for a long, useful and happy life. Miss Fanny Pearce, of this city, and Mr. Charles McGee, of Trenton, were married at the residence of tha bride's mother last Wednesday, the Rav. J. E. Eoff officiating. Oue of Trenton's worthiest young men is thus appropriately matched to oue of Milan's charmingest daughters. May their life be without a shadow. Religions Notes. There will be no service at the Methodist church to-morrow. The pastor has gone on a visit to Fulton. No service will be held at the Bap tist church to morrow morning. The congregation will attend the dedica tion service at the C. P. church. Our readers will remember that the new C. P. church is to be dedi cated to-msrrow by the Rev. F. P. Flauikeu. Of course the house will be crowded. The Rev. W. J. House preached a good gospel sermon last Sunday morning at the Methodist church the second, we believe, that he has ever preached here. The congrega tion was edified and well pleased. Special Announcement. A large proportion of the readers of the Exchange are farmers, many of w bom desire a deal great more of farming literature than we are able to give them iu our limited space. To accommodate all such we have made an arrangement with the publishers of the American Farmer to club that paper with the Exchange at 11 75 a year for both papers, only a slight advance on the price of the Exchange alone. The American Farmer is large 16 page, published at Fort Wayne, Ind. Every farmer in Gib son county should avail himself of this magnificent offer. Fresh Pickles. R. C. Adams & Co. have iust re ceived a barrel of Fresh Cucumber Pickles. Supply yourself at once. SMALL CHANGE. A fine rain fell here last Thursday. The L. & N. pay train was here Thursday. Another new story begins with this issue of our paper. Read our offer of premiums to sub senbers, and profit by it.' The meeting at tho Methodist church closed last Monday night. Henry Dudley, a wellsknown ne gro man, died here last Wednesday. ' The big circus goes to nearly all the villages around us, and leaves the best one of the lot out. The Euzelian Society will give its entertainment at the Baptist church instead of at the College, next Friday night. The reader will remember that the Great Jackson Fair comes off next week. Let our county be well represented. Memphis does not allow locomotive whistles in her borders. Now let Milan follow this sensible example and we'll be happy. The Louisville excursion passed here Tuesday with quite a large num ber of Jackson and Humboldt peo ple. Ten or twelve of our citizens joined them. The New Home Sewing Machine, one of the best ever made, is advers tised elsewhere in this paper. Read the ad, and then go to A. Jordan's and see the machine. Our staunch an 1 never-failing friend, Mr. John Tucker, last Thurs day brought us a big armful of fine roasting-ears, about the last we exs pect to get this season. He could not have pleased us better. Dr. Kelsay had three hundred and ten patients in Paris this week. So says the Post. The Doctor has an im mense practice all through this coun try. His patients will regret to learn that he will move to Memphis soon. Henry Blankinship's new restaur ant, in ('lark's Hall, is fitted up ele gantly, and would do credit to a city. His tables are handsomely furnished and well supplied with the best in the market. It is a pleasure to eat there, us we did last Tuesday, when we sampled his big fat oysters. We noticed one of our worthiest young men, the other day, have his clothes fastened with a nail, for want of a button. He is good-looking, in dustrious and popular but he needs a wife badly. If some good young woman does nt pity him soon, he'll be in a bad fix. For further partic ulars, apply at Adams & Co's. Mayor Hale is announced this week as a candidate for re-election. His course in office is so well known to our readers that it is hardly neces sary for us to say anything. Suffice it to say that he has made an excel lent officer, that the town is out of debt, that its warrants are at par, and that our streets and walks are iu fair condition. Of course his board of alderman deserve large credit for this and he has a most excellent, economic, hard-working board. But he has exercised the functions of his office economically and honestly, and we think he will continue to do so if re elected. Well Pleased with past week's Trade I Our customers are all well please!. We buy our goods of first clsss job bers. No second class goods kept. We sell for small profiita. A. B. Conley. Flnt-class Stock of Boots and Shoes at the new store of R. C. Adams & Co., Main street. Our Cloaks and Wraps continue to be the attraction of the Ladies. They can't buy them in town as cheap as we sell. Conley. Death on the Kail. Mr. Swin Bullington, aged about 35 years, and at the time of his death a resident of Atwood, was killed bv passenger train No. 1, from Louisville, due here at 1.15, on Sunday morn ing last. The facts of the case, as near as we can learn, are about as follows; He had been in Milan for a day or two prior to his death and had been drinking pretty freely. He was seen and recognized by acquaintances a short time before he was killed. It seems that he had intended to take the 5 o'clock accommodation for his home, but by some means got left, and left the City Hotel sometime near the hour of midnight, evidently in tending to walk to Atwood. He had gone about a mile and a-half from Milan, when (evidontly overcome by whiskey) he sat or laid down to rest with his head, partially on the rail, and in this position met his death. The accident took place in a deep cut. As soon after the accident as possible the case was reported to the authorities here, who summoned the necessary assistance and repaired to the place of accident to hold an in quest. Dr. Ellis made an examina tion of the body and found no injury sufficient to cause instant death, ex cepting the left side of head and face being shattered. His left arm was also broken in .two places. The jury, after examining the surroundings, position of body, etc., rendered a ver dict in accordance with the facts above 6tated, and ordered the remains removed to town, where they were taken charge of by relatives next day. It was a sad, serious accident, and is but another of the horrible pictures that whiskey so often paints. The dead man was a quiet, peaceable fellow, and was not given to drinki.ig; and his death iu this condition is a shock to all who knew him. We are informed that the same train, on the same night, struck a ne gro man near Gadsden, who was drunk on the track, and broke a leg for him. Drunken mm should keep away from the railroad. Chancery Court. Chancellor Soniers has been holding a special term of the Chancery Court at Humboldt this week. The Milan and Trenton bars were iu attendance, and quite a number of cases tried and disposed of. The following disposi tion has. been made of some cases from Milau : Bol iu vs. Boliu; Rhodes, adm'r, vs. Willi ras; Karnes vs. Karnes final decree.' McAlilly vs. Clem ents; Cunningham vs. Biyt.nt; Rice, Stix & Co. vs. Porter order of sale renewed. Ringer Ma'f.

Rag! and & Kerr vs. Jamep; Wheeler vs. McAlillv: Mar. tiu, administrator, vs. Crosby; Strong vs. Bryant decree in accordance with the procedendo from Supreme wjuri. To the People! I wish to call the attention of the people generally to my restaurant and oyster saloon, which I have just fitted up in the best style, at a considera ble expense. I feel that this is some thing that has loittr been needed here, I am prepared to give you a hot, square meat at any nour, uay or night. In connection with this enterprise, I want to say that I have the largest apd most complete stock of Whis kies, Urandies, Wines, Bitters etc., ever offered in Milan. Thanking the publio generally for their very liberal patronage, and asking a continuance of the same, I am, Yours truly, W. II, Blankinship.
