- = Z al "a
No thoroughfare in Memphis is impro-
wing with greater rapidity than Front, be-
low Union. Messrs. Stewart Bros. q
Fizef, and ofher wholesale grocery deal
ers. have recently bought lots not far
south Of Union, on the east side of Shelby.
They have constructed buildings adapted
peculiarly 70 the Business Of Wholesale
grocery dealers. The building and its
lower apartments, owned and occupied
by Stewart Bros. q Fizer, is fifty feet vide
by ons hundred and fifty feet deep. One
half Is added to the capacity of an am
mense salesgoom by the broad gallery,
supported by iron pillars, that extends
around the greater portion of the lower
apartment. The building, with Its end
less cellar and three lofty stories, is per-
fectly well lighted by q broad skylight
near the center, and most ingenious devil
ces have been resorted to by the ar
chitect to secure perfect ventilation
in the upper apartments. The bed
rooms and offices, arranged and lighted
especially for cotton brokers, have
every modern appliance and convenience.
The machinery for hoisting heavy COM
modities from the cellar "a the rooms
above is perfect, and the heaviest bales
and boxes may be raised without an ef-
fort. ~
This portion of Front street, recently
unknown to business men and to trades
men from the country, now becomes as
popular a resort as any in the city. The
cOurseo of trade is wholly u~naccountable.
No one can tell why the current Of BUSH
ness flows southwark with that Of the
Mississippi, or why business extends
more rapidly toward the mounds than in
the direction OF Wolf river. The fact is
not the less palpable that South Front
street speedily becomes the point of con-
centration OF the heavy grocery and
plantation supply trade of this city. If
no other fact induced this conclusion, we
would be led to adopt it because Stewart
Bros. 81 Fizer have carried with them a
prestige and business which has already
added fifty per cent. to rent charges in
their vicinity.

An INTERVIEW BETWEEN A DoCToR
AND HIS PArIENT.-About three months
ago Mr.. James Henry Redding, of sos
Grove street, New York, was, as he
supposed, not far from deaths door. His
physician-considered a skillful one-had
given him up, prOnouncing his complaint
strophy. He was fearfulIy wasted and
debilitated, had a constant pain in his
right side, ate scarcely enough TO keep a
baby alive, and was much depressed in
spirit. At this juncture, q clerk in the
establishment where he had been en-
ployed, persuaded him to try a course
of Plantation Bitters. Last week he re-
turned to business; his health being quite
restored.
The other day while on his way home,
he met the physician who attended him,
when the following conversation occurred:
"Whatl'' said the doctor; sis this ?''
Even So" replied Mr.. Redding, quietly;
you're not sorry to find yourself a false
prophet, 1 hope?" mo, no; certainly
not. But it's a miracle. How was it, my
dear fellowf how was it2" Mr.. r. told
HIM the story of his recovery describing
it whollyssto the Bitters, and Is willing to
confirm it verbally or by letter whenever
applied TO.

ADJOURNED MEETING OF THE BAR.


MEMPHIS, August q, 1870.
At an adjourned meeting of the NOM
bers of the Memphis Bar, held at HuInes
& STATIONS office, the committee sp-
pointed to draft appropriate resolutions
in relation to the death of our deceased
brother, E. L. Hamlin, reported through
its chairman, the Hon. VIM. NJ. Smith,
the following:
As members of the Bar we are again
called together in token Of respect to the
memory of a departed brother. The FREE
quency with which We have been SINH
larly convened within the last few years
is well calculated to fill us with the most
solemn reflections touching the frail ten
ure of human life, and the supreme i'm
portance of preparation for that event
which is inevitable to us all. Edward
Il. Hamlin was about twenty-five
years of age, intelligent, cultivated,
refined, of accomplished manners, and
possessed of SURPRISING sweetness
OF disposition, he won the love
with him. We lament his loss, and win
cherish his memory. He had been asso-
ciated with us in the profession but g few
years; yet he had attached himself to us
with no common ties, and by the younger
members Of the bar, among whom he was
most intimately known, he was particu-
larly loved and honored, and his untimely
END has cast a gloom over US all. There
fore, as expressive of the sense of this
meeting, be it |
RESOLVED, That we sincerely deplore the
untimely death of our brother, and we
deeply sympathize with his parents, |
brother, and relatives, in this great calam-
ity which has befallen them. Our tears
and sorrows mingle with theirs.
RESOLVED, That We will attend his fu- |
nernal in q body. 8kaFA /
ResolVed, That these proceedings be
presented to the different courts Of the
city, when they shall have resssembled,
with the request that they be spread
upon the minutes of each, and that the
papers of the city be requested to publish
them. " Fr47F7 faE
Resolved, further, That the Secretary of
this meeting transmit q COPY to the fam
lily of the deceased. FfF- |

customers for everything IN the way OF

one of the first TO go East this scissor and
made his purchases before the late adj
vance, and is therefore prepared to sell at

house has the sole agency of the cele-
brated GAINESVILLE mills brand of -four,
which has STAINED a reputation second to
none in the market. Their present stock
of supplies is fresh and as complete as
that Of any house in the Southwest. To
their old customers we need not say a

business connections during the coming
year this paragraph will prove Of service.
