Probably no city in the world has 6
more gentlemsnly or reliable class of
men engaged in the passenger agency
business than Memphis. Travellers find
them truthful, and in every way worthy
OF their confidence. We have five who
are working exclusively for steamboats,
j. e., Messrs. Tom kirnRn, David HukilL.
Clarence Hall, Jim Sayers and Sam De-
shane. These gentlemen have fitted up
two very handsome rooms at No. l Prom
ensde street, over the store OF Mike
Pyne, where families who are unable to
go to q hotel can remain for q few hours,
while waiting for 8 steamer. The rooms
are nicely ~oarpeted, have chairs, tables, I
fires, and IN fact are rs comfortable a
can be found in many more p%retentious
places. This will prove q great conve-
nience to travellers, and reflects credit
upon the gentlemen mentioned above.
