Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-07-01
Mississippi River RaiIroad---Shelby
County Bonds.

We understand that Mr.. Mitchell
has negotiated the sale of the SJO.OO0
of Shelby county bonds, issued to his
road by the County Commissioners, at
a price over ninety cents on the dol
lar. We hope this is true. It viii
raise the dropping finances of our peO-
pie, and give hope again in the midst
Of general incOmpetency and failure.
We cannot understand why the
Commissioners did not deliver their
total subscription to this road at once.
The road Is 70 be under contract on
the 10Th Of July, and $4,000 will
hardly pay for a months work. The
Company are entitled to all their
Bonds (S300-000) so as to have
time to negotiate them before the
10Th. There is nothing that will
make times 50 brisk, or build a rail-
road so rapidly as money in the Com
pany's hands. The Bonds were fairly
subscribed, by universal consent and
applause. Now let them be issued.
The Commissioners will fail in their
duty if they delay, when the Com
pany will so soon need the proceeds.

MEAT INsPECTOR.-At the next
regular meeting of the Board Of Mayor
and Aldermen the law authorizing
the election Of a Meat Inspector viii
probably be passed by a unanimous
vote, as the Board, as well as u citi-
zens generally, have for a long time
seen the need Of an officer whose duty
would be to prevent the sale Of I'M
sound meat. Several parties have
been suggested for the position, but
none of them are more deserving Or
better qualified than Mr.. Andrew
KripI, one of the firm of NJ. Pyne &
Co. He has been in the meat and
butchering business for twenty-five
years-a larger part of that time in
this city. AVisit to his establishment
on Jefferson street, near the landing,
will convince any one that he Is thor
Oughly posted in the b~utChering and
meat business. From his long ac-
quaintanee with the duties of the
Office his friends wish to secure for
him, and on account of his popularity,
he deserves the position.
