He served the people with great abil

choice (f the county indeed, the first
choice of many. Read what his home
organ, the Rrownsville I'er, snysabout

lie has just reached the full vigor
of his mental and physical manhood.
He is in full sympathy with the peo

MILAN, TENNESSEE, APRIL 25,1878.
A few Pertinent Questions.
Editor Exchange : Will some
ono " behind the scenes" inform the
people what pressing present necessity
there is for grading and jJ.anlcinj Jack
sou alley from Main street to John
McDonald's residence? Whether or
not the grading ami cutting down
Main street is being done to enable
this work to be done on Jackson alley
spoken of? If Jackson alley is ren
dered in any way difficult of travel,
what is the cause? And if it is not
caused by a certain party cutting it
down in the past six months? Why,
instead of planking and grading Jack
son alley, the .Doard does not order
the completion of the plank walks on
Third and Firctand other streets, and
on Railroad avenue? Is the making
of a plank road oit about 200 feet of
Jackson alley a part of the old scheme
of cobble-stoning the same alley,
vhii-h icns li farted by the Jimird uh:m(
';;.'.'( ;i vmuthi vo? And, lastly,
n hellier the people living ia the out
skirts of Mibn have any rights which
ought to be respected ? The writer
of this does not wish any controversy,
but only wishes "to know, you know."
Will someone answer?

We understand that the County
Court has frequently madeappiopiia
iieis for the supported' pen-ons who
refuse to go to the county po; r hou.-e.
We think, with all due respect for the
action of the County Court, that.'iteh
appropriations are an unneeo -sary ex
pense to the county. There r.re per
?o:.s p. js.-e.-.-cd of S'-ine means, with
pool- ami indigent relatives who tire loo
proud to allow them I.) go to the poor
house, out too parsini miotisto support
them, and hence they apply to the
County Court for aid, which has been
ofi';;i granted. The county owns a
good firm ar.d has a superintendent
employed, and all paujK'ij should be
required to become inmates before
they become a tax upon the people.
We know a gentlcniat. (?) in a neigh
boring county, the owner of consid-T-able
property, who procured from the
County Court an appropriation for
the support of his nioilierv. ho resided
with him. Sueii charity is not to be
c-.-mmended.

A Want Siipliel.
For a long time Milan has been 'n
great need of a merchant tailoring es

form the public that Mr John G.
Griiiin, late of Kentucky, has opened
an establishment fit the Red Store,
next door to Hallstrorn's where he is
prepared to cut aud make suits in the
latest and best styles. He v, ill give
special attention to country cutting,
renovating and repairing, and will
guarantee handsome fits. He has
had long experience in the business,
and we hope he will meet with the
encouragement he deserves.
The Xattonal Prohibitionist.
The temperance people are to have
a thoroughly first class " organ." We
have examined the prospectus of the

this insures success and a large patron

Rain, rain, rain, without much
prospect of ceasing, and the conse
quence is we are behind planting our
crops. There is scarely any cottou
planted in this portion. The land is
low and level and retains the moisture
longer. Wheat is fine, except some
rust. If .nothing prevent?, after this
there will be a large crop. Straw
berries are coming on and we will
have berries and cream in abundance.
Those who are in the business say
they arc very fine.

E. Flake, of Lexington, was iu
town yesterday, and is strongly in fa
vor of the proposed narrow guage
railroad from here to Lexington. He
savs the "people of Henderson county
will donate SG0.000 to the road, and
that he thinks Carroll should be will
ing to give 310,000. The road would
be of immense benefit to Clarksburg
and Lexington, but in our honest
opinion it. would deal a death blow to
Huntingdon, as our principal trade
e'omcs from Henderson county.
A Lawrence count)-, Alabama, jury
has given a verdict cf S2o,000 againi-t
the Memphis and Charleston railroad
for killing a man accidentally. Rough

To My Friends and Patrons !
I wish to express my many thanks,
not only for the patronage which you
have so liberally extended to me ; but
for the kindness and sociability which
you have shown to the stranger who
came into your midst not man)'
months ago. I can say that I have
spent as pleasant a winter in Milan
and vicinity as I ever hope to spend
anywhere. Now I have thought,
where a winter can be made so pleas
ant with its gloomy days, how nice
it will be in summer, when the trees
and flowers bloom, and I had such
good luck here in selling so many
goods that I had to go after another
stock, ami had to get a larger store
room. You will find us at Williams,
Smith it Co.'s old stand where we will
se ll goo Is cheaper than the cheapest. I
am not waiting for large profits, be
cause I will sell low and turn the
money over and make it come in that
way.
I have a idee stock of Dry Goods,
White Goo-ls, Grenadines, Embroid
eries, Irish Linen, Table Linen, Crash,
Lawns, OvC.
I have also a large stock of Cloth
ing. Its equal is not to be founel this
fide of Memphis. We are manufac
turing a great deal of Clothing our
selves, therefore have the advantage
above others that have to give the
manufacturers any profits.
Ours -Shoes ami Boots arc nice and
good.
Also, an immense stock of Ladies'
Hats and Gent's Hats, &c.
Mr Ililliard Williams and myself
will be glad to wait on you, and re
collect that we are here to show goods.
Come and see us, one and all, at the
popular IJ.vnkhupt Stouk,
