Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-04-10

morrow, the anniversary of the day on
which our brave Southrons ground arms
after their long and heroic struggle. Its
battle-cry was war to the knife. 1t was
terribly in earnest, refusing to retreat a
single inch. It was always aggressive,
always active and an implacable, bitter
foe"
An ex-Alderman, and present teacher
/ in the public schools, who has for some
time past been confined to his room with
small pox, was on the street yesterday
looking raj Br b worse for wear. He
had inhibited the usual "quantum" of
lightning, and was duly " set up " in con-
sequence. If the school board keep this
man In their employ they are as guilty as
he is, and should be made 20 answer to
the people of Shelby county for the ex-
ample they are setting. He was beastly
drunk, and c~arousing with negroes of
the lowest description. We call for an
examination of the case.
Rev. Father Walsh has concluded to
locate his church OF the orner of Third
and Overton streets, and has purchased
the ground necessary for the purpose. A
fair is announced for the first week in
May, to aid the new enterprise, and the
ladies are already preparing for the occa-
sion. The refreshment table is to be pre-
sided over by Mrs. Hanson. Table No.
will be in charge of AIRS Babb, Mrs.
Burns and Miss Leora Williamson. Table
No. Mrs. J. J. Powers, Miss Clara ON
way, Miss Mary McKeon and Misses
Aste. Table No. 3-Mrs. Costello, Mrs.
Larkin and Miss Maggie Smith. Table
No. Mrs. Martin Kelly, Mrs. Thomas
Fisher and Mrs. Michael Gavin. In such
hands the fair will certainly be a decided
success
The Memphis Christian Advocate for
this week comes to US in a new dress,
very much enlarged, and altogether look
ing as if its efforts in the past had been
appreciated by the people tor whom its
able and indefstigable editor has labOred.
1t is now one of the handsOmeSt weekl1es
in the country-religieus or secular-aud
its new arrangement of matter is u as
must recommend 1t more and more to the
members of the Methodist Church in the
Memphis, Arkansas, Little Rock and In
dian Mission Conferences. Among the
large number of papers that contend for
Christ eruciied," few have had to per-
form as much labor under adverse eircum-
stances as this one, edited by our friend
DR.. Johnson. Commencing soon after the
close of the war, when the country was yet
unsettled and money was very scarce, the
Christian Advocate has kept right on in its
course, gaining steadily from day TO day,
doing the work committed to it well and
thoroughly, and sustaining ably and with
dignity the doctrines and polity of one
of the largest branches of the Christian
church. The press, as the great modern
lever, has been availed of by the MethO-
dist Church to an extent that proves its
power for good, especially when con-
trOlled as an aid to the pulpit. The sue-
cess ofthe 4dpOcGte and of MethOdism in
this section illustrates this fact. We are
glad to be able to note tbs improvements
of the advocate and extend to it our cor
dial congratulations, expressing the hope
that it may continue to improve in pro-
portion TO the deservings of the consistent
christian and able divine who edits it,
