the press is bound or free: Echo answers
when,
CoNTRACroRs.-It was rumOred on the
streets yesterday that the we'll known
firm Of Taylor, McBain & Co, hac
failed. We mad always supposed that
they bad the backbone to carry them
through in All undertaking. The report
may or may not be false.

I the Seventh ward, We notice th- card OF
| D. n. MeFall. He is well fitted fr the
| position, aud II elected will be as faith

be has been OF the county prisoners.
THE ORPHANs.-Our people should not

orphEas of st. Peters Church will be
held during Christmas week at the tx
change Building. The Christian ladies
who have this work in charge will, We
hope, receive their just need Of reward
for the benefit Of the ~friendless here, as
they are sure to do above where ali are
judged.
A HANDSOME D1NArIoN.-George L.
Grayser, proprietor Of the OvertOn
Smokers Emporium, has, with his
wonted liberality, contributed q fine
m~eerschaum pipe, which will be rsfisd
1t the Orphans Fair. It is such aspect
men as only Grsyser keeps, and We

one very effeetually, aud therefore speak
a~dyisedly.
REDUCTION or RENTs-We learn that
Mr.. John OvertOn, ST., has reduced rents
on Main street stores which last year
paid S6JG0 to $500. This is q step ia the
right direction. Let those who hold the
d~estinies Of Memphis in their hands go
and do likewise. The rents heretofore,
and lin nan cases at present, have
been enormously eXtravsgsut, more than
the people can bear. No wonder We are
poor!

too short, when the carriage was upset
and himself snd friend dumped. No
body hurt, but several persons badly
frightened.

Board OF Aldermen, on Tuesday ven
ing, q proposition was introduced by
Alderman Hill, Of the Fourth Ward, %
clear the landing Of the whArfboats fTcm

were prejudiciGi 10 the city's Interests.
