This club made fine display, and was
no unimportant part of the grand process
sion, which the ice wagons Of
BoHLEN & HUsE,
with two or three omnibuses, brought TO
close--the grandest, most imposing and
magnificent spectacle ever seen In Mem
phis.
ILLUldINATIoNs, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.
On the corner Of Main and Winehes-
ter streets 3 bonfire was kept up until q
iats hour, as also on the corner of Main
and Market streets, and at several other
points along the route. Taking our
course down Main street, No. engine
house first attracted our attention. It is
also the headquarters OF the First ward
Demoersticciub, and Was brilliantly IL
luminstsd, with an immense flag ex-
tending across the street. Next came
]. O'CelnOr's liquor house, and the drug
store Of A. Renkert, both of which
looked well. Prof. Robertson's college,
near by, was also quite attractive. The
0vei'ton Hotel displayed handsome
flag and was lighted up from one end of
its long balcony to the other with Jets of
gas. Aumsn & Stuart's dry goods house
and Joe Walter's drug store were illumi-
q
II. Wheaton's, Forster Kealhofer & Co.,
]. W. Thompsons and the wholesale boot
and shoe house OF Goodbar & Gilliland.
This house displayed lights from each of
the four stories of thoir building. B.
Rocco, confectioner, on the corner of Main
and Adams, must not be forgotton, 1.-THE
Photographic gallery nearly opposite, nor
the drug house of G. G.. Ward & Bro,
which was finely set or with candles,
lanterns, etc. Next in order came VIM.
Miller's boot and shoe house, and Sproule
& McCowRn's clothing house. NJ Kraus
& Co., and Lyons & Fies, both dry goods
houses, were tsslefuily fitted out with
lanterns, etc., as was the furniture house
of Mckinney, Bfyson & Co. Walker
Bros. & Co. had their immense store in
the Clay Buildings beautifully decorated
with lights and cnlored trausparencies,
and to our mind the display made
by this house was second to
none In the city. The headquarters of
the Petro Oil Company varied the scene
by embellishing their windows with !
many colored paper. Hesse, Levy & Co. |
were also well lit up. On the corner of |
Main and Jefferson, the handsome cigar
store of ]. II. Schif attracted much at
tention, while on the southwest corner
Of the same streets the enterprising firm |
of B. Lowentein & Bros. was viewed |
with admiration by the thousands who |
passed and repassed during the evening. |
Mrs. m. G. Hunter, ss well IS Mrs. u. |
Kremer, were not chsry with their illu- !
limitations, but had their respective stores |
taseefuily arreyed with lights. At the |
drug store Of q. W. Jones, parti coiored /
lights were kept burning during the |
evening, lightipgup the square and street |
beautifully. J. o. Ford &3o. had lanterns |
hung in festoons across the front of their /
saddiery house and next door. A. Saessel |
d Son made very good display. Ga the /
awning was resting large TRANSPARENCY |
having on one side the following
!" May the cotton cease to grow,
May the rlver cease 70 flow
Nay the sugar cease TO yield

The other side also bore an inscr;ptiou, !
but an immense wave of living beings |
swept Us along too rapidly to make further |
noges. Next csRe the welI-known |
house of Robinson, Sneed q Co.,
which besides being decorated with Ian
ters, bore transparency inscribed with |
Lhe names OF the peoples candidates and
underneath Unity to divided Nation.
