True Enterprise.

We had the pleasure yesterday to go
through the wholesale clothing establish
ment of Gardner, Rankin & Ordway, No.
A Inn Block, Public Square, which We
found very extensive and complete. The
greatest beauty of their business is the
fact that they make in the house nearly
all the goods they sell. In doing 50 they
employ the latest improved machinery,
and large number of men, women, girls
and boys-thus affJrdiDg work for the
needy, and so economising material and
transportation, ss to enable them to COM
pete successfully with the lowest Eastern
and Northern prices. This is what we call
true enterprise, and it affords US pleasure
TO show it forth as sn example worthy o
imitation. Their house is wellstocked with
raw material, and they are now manu-
featuring, for summer wear, all the latest
styles from the best goods. We bid them
good speed, and such measure of abundant
success a. will induce others to enter in TO
generous competition with them.

Our readers will remember the particu-
lars Of the robbery of an old man named
Q. Wagner, on Whites creek, a week or
two since. Yesterday the officers arrested
negro named Sam Harris upon the charge
Of committing the robbery, and the case
against him is said to be clear. Previous
to the late robbery, in which upwards of
$4,000 was stolen, he had been robbed of
$500 by this same Sam Harris, but upon
the promise that he would leave the State,
the case was not prosecuted. Harris left,
as he agreed 10 do, and went TO work for
man named Grady in Kentucky. When
the officers were looking up and inVesti-
eating. the late robbery they found,
among other papers, letter addressed
to Mr.. Grady. Determined TO get a
clue to the affair, they proceeded
TO Kentucky, and learned from Grady
that the negro Harris had left him but
few nights before the burglary at Mr..
Wagoner's house, and came in the direc-
ton of Nashville. Upon their retsrn, the
officers watched the movements of Harris
closely, and finally arrested him. Upon
his person in pocket book in his under
shirt was found concealed $735 in green
backs, 800 bank Of Chattanooga, 800
bank of Shelbyville, and S46O in Confede.

Circumstances which transpired also led

Agreeable TO a call in the city paper
yesterday morning, a large number Of the
citizens Of the Ninth Ward met last night

Mr.. Jungerman from the Board of Edu-
cation, stated that il wss not the wish
the Board to deprive the citizens of

made to accommodate them in their own
ward.

The great railway system of America is
fast assuming dhe huge proportions OF
terrestrial monster, whose head Is IN
Boston, his heart in New York, his right
leg well developed and extended clear
across the continent, his left leg is cramped

his right arm rests quietly on Canada,
while his left arm is submerged, with his
fingers sticking cut reckoning for Cuba.
This is a rough outline Of this great giant OF
Gotham He lies in an uneasy position, and
wants a free circulation. The great railway
lines that center in his heart, are the veins
and arteries that carry the life-blood Of the

TO support his great system. Then, what
we want in the South is free circulation,
not with view 10 vie with other portions
of his system, but to build up and develop
this left leg to its natural proportions.
Nashville and Memphis will be the great
knee Joints, when it is stretched out, and
will correspond to Chicago and st. Louis.

mind of the South, that it is our highest
interest to encourage men and money to
