The er.6us of 1S70 shows the pop
ulation of Milan civil district to be
1-54S. Last Thursday 497 votes
were polled here, and there were at
leflbt fifty not polled. There are now
about 530 voters ia this district. Es
timate the population at six to each
voter and we have 3300 inhabitants,
an increase of 1752 in four years,
lu 1870 the town of Milan had about
800 population. Nearly all the in
crease of the district is in the town.
Allowing only 1500 of the increase to
Milan, it gives us a population of
2300 to-day, and many of our citizens
claim 2500. What town ia Tennessee
can make as good a showing as this
a gain of nearly two hundred per etui,
in four yean? This is indeed encour
aging. Now, if our land-owners will
reduce the piices of lots to something
ear the figures of other towns around
as, we know of no reason why we can
cot double the population during the
next year. Many mechanics and la
boring men wish to locate here, but
cannot, oa -account of high rents and
high prices of iota. Times are hard
now; trada will probably not be so
good next winter because of the short
crops, and we must male trade, by
bringing iu more people. Let us en
courage everything ia the shape of
manufactures, from making an axe

SAKlTART,
Some time since I wrote a short ar
ticle in reference .to the health of Mi
lan, at the time hoping that some one
of our "god-like" profession would
give us an article on the sanitary con
dition of the city of Milan. After
waiting a long t;me, and sx-ing so
much danger around us, and knowing
as I do the danger we are in, I must
say a few words about it
Every physician and every intelli
gent person recognizes the fact that
to take care of tbtir own health, they
must take care of whole classes, too
ignorant or too weak to take care of
themselves, The pestilence generated
by the filth of ill-ventilated and ill
framed slums and sinks will poison
the atmosphere of a whole communi
ty and infect quarters at a considera
ble distance, whose inhabitants may
be properly observant of all the con
ditions of health. To this extent, at
least, we "are our neighbor's keeper."
And as Carlisle's sory goes of the
poor women whom rich men refused
to recognize as members of the human
fifrarJy and to succor, and w ho finally
proved thfir sisterhood by infecting
seven of them with Typhus fever.
This has a sanitary as well as a moral
lesson for us. From thee facts we
see the vital importance of strict san
itary regulations in towns, cities and
communities regulating those things
which are of vital importance tohe
health and well-being of all the inhab
itants. Now, good folks of the city of Mi
lan, let us look to our sanitary affairs.
It is sickening to observe a great many
things about our city, and to think of
the bad sewerage and recking soil
through which the water jercolates
to its foul bed; and it is high time
that a v'gorous crusade should be
brought to bear upon them. . The
earth, it is true, is a gtxvl filter and
and disinfectant, and will protect from
contamination a long while, but it be
comes saturated with decaying animal
and vegetable n. alter and is no longer
suited tj perf m m this office, and the
water in mary well? m"r become im
pure and dar.gcrous to health. It has
been said by an eminent chemist that
"for one aitl lo of impure and dan
gerous food, a thousand samples of
impure water may be obtained in any
part cf the ccuutrv." More anon.

TUE PROFCSftOR ABROAD.
The Professor concluded to go to
the springs. He was not an invalid,
but had an inquisitive mind and
thought that a watering place would
afford a good opportunity to take items.
On bis way he passed through a
little city, and stopped to give it a
call. After interviewing a book
agent and a newspaper man and wan
dering about the streets for some
time, gazing alike into the windows
of stores and at paseers-by, he proposed
to himself a ride on the street car.
Satisfied w ith his ride, he thought how
nice it would be to jump off while the
car was running. Unfortunately,
just as he made the leap the driver
struck the horses and the dignified
Professor came to the ground on all-
fours. When he arose horror of
herrors! he saw a great rent in the
knee of his pantaloons these, few, his
onbj, and he on his way to the springs
w ith just money enough to pay his
expenses. It is a part of the Profes
sor's principles always to carry out
w hat he undertakes; so ha would not
be outdone. He would go on to the
springs. The ladies would no doubt
be so charmed with the brilliancy of
his intellect that they would notice
no deficiency in his toilet.
'On his arrival he registered his
name with great ceremony and w;s
referred to No. 9. He tlun sought a
private interview with the porter and
told him that he had a few dimes left
which were at his disposal if he would
find some one to sew up the "horrid
chasm." Closing the blinds, he dis
robed and sat him down t "patient
waiting." The pants ?ame, but what
a seam ! It was little better than the
rent had been before, and constituted
now the thing of prominence in the
Professor's personal appearance.
The Professor soon made his ap
pearance in the parlor and was intro
duced to the ladies, who received him
with most gracious smiles. Under
his ardent gaze their eyes would in
variably rest upon the torn trowsers;
then the smile would continue, but
the Professor thought he could see a
change in the nature of that smile.
Our hero thought to get a scat in
sonic dark corner, and thus avoid un
pleasant inspection, but imagine his
distress when one of the ladies pro
posed to walk out with him and show
him the famous springs. With
martyr's resignation It 3 acquiesced,
trying hard to banish tli5 forlorn cx-pr-ion
from his face. How beauti
ful the springs ! IIow interesting the
crowd gathered around them ! There
were sulphur, and freestone, and lime
stone and chalybeate waters, panacere
of human ills, gathered in crystal
pools; there was the grand old moun
tain overhanging the silver lake; the
neat, white cottages, and oh ! so many
pairs of bright, mischievous eyes, all
looking at the Professor. But all
these things (alasl for human weak
ness) had no charms for him. One
absorbing idea filled his mind that
auful team. At supper, in the parlor,
ia the ball-room (the Professor don't
dance), all through that long evening
it haunted him, a real Banquo's ghost,
occupying the seat where other
thoughts were wont to sit.
But miseries and joys alike have
their end. The Professor retired to
his room and sat down to meditate.
'C. C."
P. S. I would advise no one whose
weight is less than one hundred and
seventy-five pounds to question the
Professor in regard to his visit to the
springs. I got these facts from his
private memorandum. "C. C."

The way to build up Milan is to
run down and browbeat and drive
away its citizens, and drive off all the
money you can to other towns and
communities.
To those who pronounce me a
"humbug" in the eye business, I say
it is very wicalled-Jor and ungenerous,
and it is not only wronging me, who
never interfered in your business in
any way, but it Is driving avay mon
ey from your own town that would
be spent here in your business houses.
It has been nearly three years since
I came to this community, and I can
say, without fear of successful contra
diction, that I have cured every ease
of ore eyes that I proposed to cure,
and many cases of ears. You are not
only damaging me and your own town,
but you are impeaching the veracity of
many of the best citizens of West
Tennessee and Western Kentucky, as
the following testimonials will show;
of which I can produce hundreds of
