light. They require that it be presented
in dollar and cent point Of view, II
must be shown that the establishment Of
manufactures will prove remunerative
before this branch Of business will be
made prominent with u.s.
We see it stated that cotton mills are
going up by scores in Georgia and Ala
bama. Our own State has not shown
quite the same amount of energy, hav-
ing not more that twelve mills in opera
ton, but these employ from FIVE to six
hundred operatives, and yield in the ag-
gregate considerably over Sl,OO0,0OO in
manufactures, and this return follows an
investment of about 100000. In the
minds of those well posted as to statistics
there is no shadow of doubt as to the
great profits arising from the investment
of capital in this shape If it is the
want of capital in Shelby county which
prevents any individual of this kind in
Memphis or her vicinity, why not, as re-
Gently suggested by some one Of our
city papers, try it ON the cooperative
plan, which requires but small amount
of money from each stakeholder, and
returns each one handsome annual
dividend We feel confident that a
combined effort of this kind will secure
to our city this great desideratum, par
ticularly if some of our real estate
owners can be induced to see the poor
policy of holding their land at such
prices as repel rather that invite invest
nents of this kind.

I" A Home of 0ur Own

From Lanier's Real Estate Bulletin.l
There is sacred duty devolying upon
every man who has shouldered the re-
sponsibility of a family--it is to provide
t EN- with home. And even those who
holds this responsibility in anticipation
should take initiatory steps towards the
performance of this duty
A home of our own, this is the con-
tinual aspiration, and most worthy
one tits, of hundreds Of good irires, who,
yearly and half yearly, have to bundle
and 20 from one uncomfortable tene-
ment to another. A home of our
own" with this hope in their hearts, how
bravely they buffet the waves Of care
that moving here and there heaps upon
them. How fondly they look forward to
the day, when once established within
that home, they can say good bye to
that bug-bear, rent day, and arrange
permanently within their own door. all
the useful and tasteful appliances of
home life, and train around its exterior
the graceful, clinging vine, the shrub and
tree, whose fragrant bloom and grateful
shade will breathe in woes soft a well
come sweet to him who cometh home"
Perhaps it will be only simple cottage
with fifty or hundred feet enclosure,
or goodly house and yard Of one or
two acres, or stately mansion with ex-
tensive grounds; in any case it will be
home, the boon for which they have
yearned since the first days Of house
keeping.
Every man of family should lay aside
monthly from his income, be it large or
small, sum, no matter how little, to
form the necleus of the home fund, de-
signed to be invested in piece Of land,
it may be fraction of lot with very
limited improvements, or it may be
acres of land with comfortable house,
or it may be vacant ground, and if he is a
good mechanic, skilful economist, a
clever fnancier, he will soon have his
house upon it, and he and his family will
realize from blessed experience that of
all the pleasant spots on earth not one
is half so pleasant as "a home Of our
