CHICAGO.

The city of Chicago seems to be bent
on making an anti.Southern record. A
committee, says St. Louis paper, was
lately appointed by the Board of Trade
of Chicago, for the purpose of soliciting
subscriptions for the relief Of furnishing
people in the South. That committee
has finished its labors and reported that
they could do next to nothing. Their
success was so small that they declined
to state the amount that had been col
lected. 1t was moved and carried by the
Board that the subscribers be refunded
the amount of their subscriptions. It
was subsequently ascertained that the
whole amount was 1928. Mr.. Carter H.
Harrison, of Chicago, undertook volun-
tarily to raise fund for the South. He
likewise failed, and he publishes a card
proposing to return to the subscribers
the meagre amounts he received rather
than forward them in the. name Of
Chicago.
The Chicago Times, printed under the
noses of these soulless wretches. thus
alludes to them To say that the wealthy
inhabitants of Chicago have thoroughly
disgraced themselvesin this matter would
be high praise in comparison to the Ian.
gnage of censure which they deserve
Notonly have they brought a reproach
upon the good name of Chicago which
will live in the memory of mankind for
ever. 1t is in the hearing Of startling
cries for succor that the selfrighteous
ness of great, rich and prosperous Chi
cago turns coldly away to count its gain
made from the ruin and desolation 0
war, and TO let white men, women an'
children, people of their own blood an'
kind, perish Of starvation. The hideous
ness Of the bloated satyr gloating owe
his hoard and moeking the cries Of fam
ishing children for bread, cannot b
overdrawn.

ST. LOUIS MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE.
COMPANY. H. MCMAHON.

By reference to an advertisement In
another column, it will be seen that j.
II. Mcmahon has accepted a permanent
agency of the St. Louis Mutual Life
Insurance Company. The reader will
also find full particulars concerning the
Company. 1t is of Col. Mcmahon we
desire to say few words. If any one
whose eye may happen to fall upon this
paper. does not know him, or has not
heard of him, he must be very deeply
involved in the mazes of youth, 'or the
depths of deafness. Col. Mcmahon,
without being an old man, is the father
of the press of Memphis. He COM
menced the work of forming public
opinion on this bluff when there was
little else here than ravines, thickets,
SQUIRRELS, and now and then, stray
wolf. He remembers when part of
the space occupied by Odd Fellows
Hall, was a deep gully. The city has
grown up, under his 0ye, and to his pen
and conversation, its progress is much
indebted. We said he was the father of
the Memphis press. What his progeny
has grown to be, can be ascertained by
reference to our city journals, great stall
wart fellows, with sense in their heads,
principle in their souls and battle axes
on their shoulders Keeping pace with
the march of progress, he has lived to
see the fruits of his long labors
hanging in clusters for miles and miles
away, but the property of Others. Having
retired from journalism, he leaves to his
successors the work which he did with so
much skill. Accepting the agency of
the company referred to, he is prepared
to serve the public in another, but not
less useful capacity. Assurance of life,
at this day of doubt and danger, is, in
our opinion, one of the first duties of
those who will leave behind them either
poverty or riches. No man can tell what.
day may bring forth. Dear ones who
feast while we live, may cry for bread
the day after we are buried. Whatever
else may happen, the widow and orphans
of a deceased husband and father who
assures his life, are provided for. The
company of which Colonel Mcmahon is
agent, is responsible in the highest de-
gree. 1t is only necessary to state to the
public his relation to it, to commend 1t
to the citizens of Tennessee, Mississippi
and Arkansas.
