envy, malice, and blighted aspirations"

The Q1een's proclamation Of neutrality

from s sentence Of an article OF the Lon

THE BROWNSVILLE Bee Of Friday, in
an article reviewing ours OF last Sunday
upon the action OF the Dyer County
Court, touching the Mississippi River
Railroad, represents the enterprise aud
spirit Of the people of that town in a way
to make us Of Memphis feel that there is
more in their opposition than w bad
conceived possible. They are pltting Up
several blocks Of buildings and, turning
their attention to railroad matters, con-
template 3 line up through north Hay
wood and Dyer to meet the P&ducah
road, and thus form q dangerous cum
petitor for the Mississippi River Road,
which it seems Dust go to Cairo to fad
advantageous connections with the
North and Northwest. TIE Bee says
that " dollar for dollar we pay Memphis
prices for cotton which in our market
goes into the hands OF the spinners'
agents from the hands Of the planter,
While in your market 1t must go first into
the hand OF commission merchants. A
snail stipend is thus saved in the
shape Of commissions. Then, In mer-
~chsndise, we sell at Memphis prices, or
below them. Mary articles are retsiled
lower ia Brownsville than they can be
bought in Memphis. Oar merchants
never think OF asking anything better
than Memphis psicss.' " This sounds
as il, indeed, the glory" was depart
ing rom Memphis, and thai, RS was pre-
dicted soon after the war, the railroads
that buiIt Memphis are dividing her
prestige and good name among the
county towns that were once tributary
to her growth and greatness. Oar mer-
chants will have to look after this me-
tropOlis in embryo.
