The Democratic Executive Com mittee of tho 9th Congressional district are requested to meet at the Court House, in Humboldt, at 2 o'clock p. m., Friday, May 19th, for consulta tion, and transaction of business. Rice A. Pierce, Chairman Dem. Ex. Com. Severe Hurricane. A severe burricaue visited a sec tion of Henderson county, about six teen or eighteen miles from here, last Sunday night, we undarstand, mowing down the heaviest timber in a swath about a half mile wide. We have not heard if any lives were lost, or whether other damage was done. SMALL CHANGE See weather report, in first column. Green peas are beiug shipped from here. Garden truck is becoming plentiful here. The school children are now happy, since vacation set in. The fruit prospect here is better than it has been in years. The water of Wolf Creek was over the bridge east of town last Wednes day. Cherries have been sold on our streets this week at twenty cents per quart. We believe it has rained every night dnring the past week. Several nights were quiet stormy. It is reported that an inmate of the poor house fell into a creek and was drowned a few days since, while in a fit. The colored Odd Fellows will have a celebration here on the 27th inst., to which they have invited other lodges of their order. It's a mighty bad sign when you see farmers hauling northern hay out of town, when we could, with a little effort, ship more hay than cotton from here. We learn that the army worm is devastating the meadows around here, totally destroying the grass. We have heard of no damage done to other crops. Aa exchange states that a table spoonful of carbolic acid in two gallons of water will kill currant worms, cab bage worms, rose slugs and all insects that prey upou vines and shrubbery. A great many ot our exchanges, speaking of the killing of Eliliu Har rison, say he was the chairman of the republican county committee, which is not true. G. W. Martin, Esq., of this city, is chairman. We are indebted to Rev. W. J. Naylor for a late paper from Pueblo, Col. Reading its columns, one would think that preachers are needed in that country. Drunkenness, fights, robberies, etc.are too numerous-there for comfort, We are in receipt of two beautiful new songs "Kiss the Little Ones Good Night" and "We See the Little Face no More" published by B. Brainard's Sons. Cleveland and Chi cago. Send and get them. Only forty cents apiece. A prominent attorney from an ad joiniog town was here recently trying to buy Milan city script to speculate on When he found that he could not get a dollar at loss than par, he concluded to go back home, where he could buy at about 70 cents. The heavy rains this week have done much damage to farmers. A great deal of cotton and corn has been washed out of the soil and bottom lands have been seriously flooded. Obion river was said to be higher last Wednesday than at any time the past season. Dr. A. B. Stevens killed a horned suake on the 5th inst., about three miles west of town. It was a striped and checkered reptile, about two feet long, with a well-developed horn on the end of its tail. It is now on ex hibition at Coley's drug store, where it can be seen by the curious. Rev. M. M. Taylor last Sunday preached a well prepared and able set mon on the liquor question. The congregation was large and paid marked attention to the preacher. We have heard the discourse highly spoken of as one that is calculated to do good. If we had room, we would gladly print it for the benefit of our readers. On last Monday we were again the recipient of a magnificent treat of strawberries, which were, if possible, a little bit larger than the ones we received last week. They were as delicious as unexpected and Mr. U. L. Collins, the Excursion King, has our thanks for them. They grew in his garden at Irezevant. Our Cumberland Presbyterian brethren are about to build a church house here, and advertise elsewhere in this paper for bids from contractors. The design shows that the house will be a handsome frame building, with a towering spire, and will be an orna. meut to the town. It will be erected on Main street, just above Church. The County School Directors met in Trenton last Tuesday, when they ordered that two training schools be held in Trenton this summer, for the benefit of white and Colored teachers. Tuition free. The colored school will open June 5th, and the white school will begin June 12th. Each will continue one month. Good teachers will conduct them. The committee agreed to recommend for the county schools the Eclectic Series of books, except the history. We have received Geo. P. Rowel! & Co.'s Ameiican Newspaper Direc tory for 1882. This is the fourteenth annual edition of this work, and is a handsomely bound volumejof over one thousand pages, printed on fine tinted paper. It contains an accurate list of all newspapers and periodicals pub lished in the United States, Territories and the Dominion of Canada, together with a description of the towns and cit ies in which they are published. The book is sold at 15 per. copy, and is consulted by all the large advertisers of thejeountry. RAILWAY RACKET. Rough weather on railroads. Ripley will have steam cars by May 20th. The guage of the railroad from Dyersburg to Paducah will be re duced to the standard width next Sunday. Lightning ruined two or three in struments in the offices here the oth er day, besides melting wires and scar, ing up the boys generally. Master John 'liernan has been fill ing the place of Mr. Truslow, day operator for the Central road here, tor the last few days, and we learn does his work well. The Louisville Evening Post says: "The latest news floating about in re gard to the L. & N. is that Mr. Jew. ett, President of the Erie, has been offered the presidency. The story is not generally believed. Mr. W. E. Smith, who has been night operator for the L. & N. road here for a long time, goes to Erin, where he will act as agent and opera tor. He is a steady, good man, and we are glad he is promoted. The stockholders of the Tennessee Central did not meet last Monday, as advertised, not enough of them ap pearing. The meeting has been post poned until the second Monday in June, when they are called to assem ble here. Conductor S. II. Gregg, on the Chattanooga & Memphis Road, fell through his train Friday morning and was killed, fifty miles east of Mem phis. His legs were severed above the knees. He was one of the oldest - 1 an conductors on tne roaa, ana leaves a wife and two children in Memphis.

Senter, of Trenton, is shaking hands with his numerous friends here. Miss Delia Blanks, one of Treze vant's charming belles, in visiting relatives and friends in our city. Rev. F. P. Flaniken will occupy his pulpit at Odd Fellows Hall to morrow, when the publio are Invited to attend. . Miss Lizzie Townes left last week for her home in Mississippi. Many of her friends and patrons would be glad to learn that she will return and teach here again. Dr. A. A. Davidson will conclude his temperance lecture at Odd Fel lows Hall next Monday night, when he will report the proceedings and object of the late temperance conven tion. All are invited. Dr. James I. Taylor, of Jackson, one of the most talented youngjphy siciaus and surgeons in the south, and Miss Laura Clapp, one of the most beautiful and accomplished belles of Memphis, were married last Thursday. Jackson Whig: Our sterling friend, Prof. B. F. Hooker, a worthy gentle man and an admirablejteacher, we re gret to learn, left Milan early this week for Texas. Wherever he may locate we wish him the success that his many merits of head and heart so richly deserve. In our announcement column will be found the name of Mr. N. J. Hethcock, who is a candidate for mag istrate af this district Mr. Heth cock is known by our citizens to be honest, earnest and capable to fill the office acceptably. It will be hard to find a better man in the district. Jackson Whig: Mr. J. P. Rhodes, one of the most successful and popular lawyers of Milan, Tenn., and Miss Nina Hutchersan, a charming and beautiful young lady of the same place, were recently united in mar riage. That the newly wedded cou ple may have a bon voyage down the sream of lime is a wish that the wri ter fondly entertains. Prof, Hugh MoTeer, of Milan Col lege, left for Middle Tennessee last Tuesday night. During his sojourn in our town he made many warm friends among our people by his uni form gentlemanly conduct and pure christian character. We regret to lose him as a citizen, friend and teach er, and hope his lines may fall in pleasaut places in future. Prof. B. F. Hooker left last Tues day for an extended tour through Ar. kansas and Texas, looking out for a location and hoping to improve his health. Prof. Hooker has for sever al years had charge of the college here, and we believe we are safe in saying that he is, taken altogether, the best man who ever held the posi tion. As a disciplinarian he is firm, strict and kind, commanding the obe dience of all uuder him. As a teach er he is thorough and fully up with the age. As a citizen, he is quiet, moral, and an ornament to any com munity in fact, he is a gentleman. His departure is a serious loss to our town, and one that will be hard to re place. He has the kindest, best wish es of the writer of this, as well as a host of other friends. Ladles, Look Here. We have received a another lot of Fresh Banana, Chinese Chew Stick, Coco and other Fancy Candies, Nuts and Chewing Uum Send the little girls for their Candy and Wax, they can buy as cheap as any body. Stone & Clark. THE TERT LATEST. Five inches snow in Cincinnati Thursday. The committee on the episcopacy of the Methodist General Conference at Nashville recommend the election of six new bishops. The Rev. John S. Martin, of the Baltimore Conference, was elected secretary, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Summers. The Greenbnckers held a state con vention in Nashville last Wednesday, when they appointed an executive committee and called a convention to nominate a candidate for Governor on the 12th of June. Mr. B. A. Eoloe, one of the most forcible and clear-headed writers in the state, has retired from his edito rial connection with the Jackson Tribune and Sun. We regret to lose him from the guild, but hope his re tiracy is only temporary. In the Legislature "Mr. Coulter ia troduced a bill to fund the legally is. sued outstanding bonds of the state with attached coupons in new series, thirty years compromise coupon bonds, redeemable oat ary time after ten years. The bands' are to bear interest at the rate 7wf?. per cent, for the first five years, rfjtf cent, for the next five years, aid 5 oer cent, there after to maturity tf the bonds, the funding to be done at the rate of fif ty cents on the dollar. We believe this would please most people. MAYOR AND ALDERMEN. The Board of Mayor & Aldermen met in regular session last Monday, all being present except Alderman Haun.

Fields, work on street, 5 00 John Gray, board of pris oners, 4 50 830 60 A Temperance Community. Eight years ago Milan was cursed with fourteen saloons, and whiskey could then be bought at the drug stores and family groceries. Now there are only three saloons here, and neither of the family groceries handle liquors. There is much less dram drinking here than has. been known for many years, and we hope the mor als of the people are otherwise im proved also. PLAUT & FRENZ LOCALS. Wheat! Wheat I Wheat!
