We take the following article upon
Memphis as q purchasing point, ron
an editorial in the SenatObia Times OF
fhp 18th inst. We commend 1t to our
country readers in other sections, as
tho identity of interests is equally as
IreoS between our city and North Al
ebams- aur " State, Arkansas and
Southern Missouri. 1t says:
Tbere Is a unity and identity Of in
- between North Mississippi and
MannSis. Our producers ana mer-
rbsnts are inseparably connected with
that city. ii is, in fact, our only mar
Eet, and the faster Memphis grows
and prospers the greater VIII De the
BENEFITS reaped by our people. The
idea was once prevalent among mer-
chants and some large planters In sec
fioos contiguous to Memphis that
goods and merchandise OF all kinds
could be purchased in Northern or
Western markets al much o reas-
enable rates than at prices eXacted by
merchants at Memphis.
Attbe close Of the war, and when
the odiOu5 merchants two per enI
tax sat as an incubus upon the mer-
camille interest of Tennessee, this
opinion was in a manner correct,
from the fact that four years dehclen-
CIV of the whole Southern country had
TO be supplied faster than the mer-
chants in Memphis could obtain them
from iobbers, importers and manuiac-
r This great demand Is now
fully supplied, confidence restored,
and the tax removed, hence Memphis
merchants are again enabled to offer
Inducements and accommodations to
a. cir country friends and customers,
= old, and at prices to compete

through long and extensive acqlaln'
lance with the wants OF our seetloh'
know exactly the kind Oh gOOos re

ticular demand. The heavy STOCKS o
dry goods, hardware, boots n sn0es

fsctnrad for markets adjacent TO Mem

Through her grand river ana ran
nav connections, Memphis enjoys ST.
Derior advantages In the way ofcheal
freiOhts. which enables her merchant
To sell at prices as low as those OF al
most any other city.
Some of our SenatObia merchant

ticipated. The expense incurred I
