London's Bicentennial (Snippet 18)

  I searched for additional stories related to this one and found none. Although it is rather vague, one would think that such a large number ($$$) would have attracted a lot of attention and more articles. My search strategy may have been faulty and a local historian may be able to find additional details, or already know them.

 This is found in The Milan Exchange, Oct. 16, 1879. The Milan Exchange was published in the Milan in Tennessee, not the one in Italy. It is in Western Tennessee and is pronounced, "MY-lunn", as you would have expected.
