EprroRs APPEAL Memphis is on the high
road to a magnificent destiny. ManifostiF,
she is marching forv ard more rapidly % wealth
and power than any other city in ae UuiOa +;
but great heavens lsroagh uaaf dopds o.
dust and dirt! Twice, in the last vi or three
weeks, Ihare visited Memphis, and each time
was made miserable, yea, sick blythe dust,
which is 50 volatile that it seems never 70
d sstae.- day nor night, bot hangs over The
city like a great yellow pan, %enveloping an
T. ings, penetrating an things, and pafalysing
all throats and lungs not lined with shset-iron
or fastened with copper. Ihave no doubt the
visits OF al TO Memphis, recently. have been
shortened, and their expenditures while there
smtailed, BY this intolersble plauge. In this
way, 70 say nothing OF the damage to mer-
ehsBdise, Memphis has no doubt lost ten times
as much as It would have cost 70 keep The
dust 3own in all OF the principal streets.
observe that Msssrs. Cleaves 8 Walden,
propristors OF that splendid book store ip your
city, are about 70 enter upon the business Of
hook printing and Publishing in Memphis on
their W account This is something about
which the city newspapers nav lssitimatelv
make a grand flourish !; Cor 4 certainly
marks another important era in the history o.
Memphis, as much 50 as the Inauguration Of p
new manufacture, the founding Of an ins-i-
tute, or the completion OF . railroad. The
establishment Of Messrs. Clesves & Walden IS
already ahead Of any southern bookstore with
which I an acquainted. It is always repletr
with standard literature, rare old books, I'M
numbered school and text books, End all Of
the best specimens o. those myriads OF new
works on an imaginable subjects, in every De-
partment o. literature, which are daily issuing
fromfbe American press, For the success Of
their new and important entsrpriss-PriE.inc
and publishing southern school books, etr.-
the best wishes and liberal encouragement
Of she entire community should be folly en-
listed. Success to them.
T0took- several looks a. the new "Clav
Building, on Main street, bard BY the Wor-
sham House, the other day. Il is an erna-
msnt to Memphis, and a Hfeather in the cap"
OF an concerned in its erection. The magnif-
cent iron front alone, I an Informed, cost
$4,000. The building is divided into three
tenemets, each TO rent for 5000, and the mid
de one, Ihsar, Is to be occupied BY nv OF
friends, ". B. Miller & Co, those popular and
w~cl-known dry goods merchants
As VOC now havss % Calhoun Block aBds
"Clav Building. 1 trust that the great New
England statesman, the other member Of Do
grand Old trio Of giants, now 10 more, win
soon be in Ike manner commenorated. A
splendid WEBSTER Blocks might be erected
on Main stree, directly opposite the ovsrtou
Hotel. The suggestion is thrown out, free Of
ohar-e, to the properly holders in that part Of
the city-s region which, The distant reader is
Informed. has long been known under the sug-
restiYe appeIiation OF " Pineh.1 By theway,
Ian reioieed 70 see that q Pinch " is d decidedly
looking Up. New and fne sirgle buildings
and blocks O, buildings are going up in evsry
direction, and It requires no prophets vision
to foresee that "Pincho is bound to become
one Of the most "respectable" and fsshiona-
BE quarters, as it has always been the very
healthiest district Of the city.
Ian grathed to hear that It is in eontempla-
ton BY the railroad companies, whose l~inesra-
date from your city, to ereot a suitable na1u-
ment to lie memory Of the Hon. James c.
Jones. Il there ever was a Memphis man
who, more thar any other, deserved Ie tlr
OF q public bsusfactor, p that man was James
C.. Jones. Beyond an question, be was The
immediate Progsnitor Of that grand andEide
reaching system Of iRterna! improvemen's
which have made Memphis what she is, ana
which, when fully earrisdrout, wBmake hsr
one of the chief inland cities Of the continent
The idea Of erecting a monument to hin in
Memphis, therefore, is.timely and appropriate;
its initiation BY the railroad companies viii be
in he best taste and I have N d5ubt the
people Of Memphis, as Fsll as OF the surround
ing rural districts, viii freely contrbuie. Tie
able and energetic president Of The Memphis
and Charleston railroad, the infinite and
trusted friend Of The departed statesman, is The
very nan 70 head the movement
