OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY.



We continue our weekly zketehes of
old sDd worthy citizsns with brief biog-
rsphy Of man who is identified with the
solid progress of Shelby county.
Captain A, B. Haynes, one of the direo-
tors of the Agricultural society, was born
in Giles county, Tenuessse, in 1881 He
Wss the son of farmer, snd WIS reared
on farm, in the midst Of one OF the most
productive soils and genisl climates in
the woTld, and among IS sturdy race Of
men rs ever Inhabited any country. he
received 8 liberal education at Union
university, near Murfrees boro, Tennessee,
where he graduated, in 1853. with the first
honOT5 of bis class. having, for thirteen
months before bis graduation, receive ed
reports of perfect lessons in every csse.
He graduated at the law school Of Cum
berlsnd university, Lebanon, Tennessee,
in 1855, and soon thereafter removed TO
Memphis, where be pursued the practice
of law until 1860 In this year be msr-
ried and settled on q farm, in Shelby
coanty, and has since devoted his ener-
gies and decided practical talents to sgri-
cultural pursuits, in which occupation he
has gained an eminent distinction. There
is no farmer in Shelby county who has Ia
bored more untiripgly and intelligently 20

LcIl IMAM LIS AuAOeoaOAp E-oNaAAoA-
was one of the lssdsrs IN forming
an Agricultural Club at Whites Sta
tion, near Memphis, which was
the nucleus Of the amateur agricultural
association In 1865, which led 20 the for
nation OF tbs present agricultural and
mechanical society. OF this amateur So
ciety, which held very successful fair In
1868, Captain Haynes Wss the president,
and he was brought prominently before
the public ss an sgri6ultUrist in that ca
pacity, though his then delicate health
prevented MIN from giving thst attention
20 its duties, and throwing into it that
strong energy, and infusing into It that
practical sense which, when combined,
are the keys 10 success in business; and
indeed In all the prominent pursuits Of
life.
Captain Haynes is member Of the Bsp-
tist church, Of which he is consistent aud
leading member. He is pronounced in his
religious Views, rs he is on all other ques-
TORS, but always with thai spirit OF tole-
ration and charity toward others which
belongs to the true christian gentleman
whiis tolerating, however, there Is no
compromise With him in his own opinions
or judgment. He drives stEsi ghttorward
and true to his own convictions Of duty.
His judgment is clesr, and seldom erEs.
His motives are pure and his aims high.
Tbs farmer and the lsboring man have no
truer friend IL our country, and the cause
of progressive eSrisUlt9re no more en-
llghtened advocate.

THE GAS QUESTION.
A Hint Worthy the Consideration Of
Gas Consumers.

It is rumored in the city that the Cav
oso Gas company, through its officers and
agents, are soliciting business by making
contracts to furnish gas in the months OF
April and May next, a. three dollars Der
thousand cubic feet. We understand also.
that the old companyis pledging the pub.
lle TO reduce the price even loEer than
the company. This looks interesting.
The citizens of Memphis have for many
long years paid high rates for gas light.
From the lively fight indicated by the
above rumors, (which we regard as relia-
blel soon 20 commence, win result, per-
hsps, in lower prices than even the con-
sHmers pay in Louisville, Cincinnati or
New York. We sre always on the
side OF the people agsinsE cor
porstions, and therefore urge the
citiEsns of Memphis to make no
contract with either company at prices
that now sppesr low, for ss certain Is the
tiEns will come that inRugurssos The new
company, so certain VIII the price be
lower, and whether 1t be profitable to the
stockholders, 1t will be very much better
for the consumers Of gss.

DRESS.
A Chapter en- the Varieties and Pro
Priefies Of Attire.

One Of the chief elements in mental ane
moral progress, is the discovery Of the
relative value Of the objects which engagd
our attention, and Of the time and
thought which they claim at our hands.
Dress is one among many Of the things
that have no fixed standard Of value
among men. To some it is 3 mstter of
paramount importance, absorbing large
proportion Of their time, means and med
itatiOns, while Others, seeing the evils
TINS entRiled, and falling 70 discern the
germ Of truth which lies hidden under
much vanity snd folly, 4 , 20 the opposite
extreme and deem dress trivial and pal
try matter, unworthy the time on thought
Of rational bsing. AS is usually the
case. the truth lies midway between thess
extremes. The primary object Of dress is
warmth, comfort and protection. This
all adnit, yet u Is not with all the first
consideration. herbert Spencer declares
thst in the order Of time decoration pre-
eedes dress, and the love OF Ornament Is
anterior 70 the desire for comfort. The
savage greatlV prefers colOred beads to
brOadcloth, and long bsfors he has learned
10 make single garment, be delights in
tattooing his skin ana colonng his testh.

itely mons so to this whole valley is its
