THE S. M. SocIAL CLUB.


Last evening 8 brilliant and successful
entertainment was given by the South
Memphis Social club at Mook's hall, 22l
Second street. Among the gentlemen
who conducted the agreeable party, we
saw upon the floor, Messrs. Ben D. March,
Gus. Fleming, Fritz Neutzel, A. K Weir,
Joe. Neutzsl, Frsnk shesron, j. Smith,
VIM. Green, and NJ. Kshill. No gentle
man was admitted, unless accompanied by
q lady, and our reporter, it is alleged,
went in srrsyed in all the toggery of
hoop-skirts. ohignons, furbelOWs and
founces.. He says that there was never
before such a collection of beautiful girls
in Memphis. They appeared to great
advantage, since their sweet faces and
graceful movements, and tasteful APP
parel, were in strong contrast with the
dowdy look and angular shape and swing
ing gait of the modest reporter. The en-
tertainment was a most successfulinaugu-
ration of the pleasures of the coming
season, to which this admirably consti-
tuted club propose to devote kany long
winter evenings.

BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.
what wOrkingmen of all Glasses can do
by Combination.

We understand that two societies have
been formed in Memphis, whose object Is
the encouragement of its members 70 De-
come the owners OF homesteads. Tnese
societies are now before q OF our q
Sery courts IS applicants for charter priv
ileges, and they intend, so soon as CHAR
ters are had, to open books for the names
Of all parties who desire TO avail tnen-
selves of membership, and commence
operations as soon as possible. The con-
viction has fastened itself upon many OF
he Door men Of Memphis that they must
tskeataps to helm th~emselvesto comtorta-
he homes. for the rich capitalists and
spectators bsve too many demands upon
their means for other purposes over 70 en-
gage in the construction OF rows Oh over
ipRs such as in st. Louis and PhllaoelphiA
nave made those cities more advantageous
places of residence for workingmen than
auv others In the country. In this WORK
thew should take example from the build
ing societies of England, which have
come to be an important feature IN tne
Labor reform movement there, eno are
closely identified with The improved IN
dustrial life of the kingdom. In splte OF

being constituted thereby which VIII De

which, through these societies, nave
become the property OF

many of these societies are called
Bowkelt societies, from DR.. Bowkelt, VINO
originated them. The fundamental prln-
ciple is that, by a certain arrangement,
men uniting together, csn resllzs
in the first instance b same
amount Of interest for their own
/ savings that they are accustomed to pay
for the use of other peoples money; next,
hat they can practically obtain one
fourth more than that rate of interest; and
next, that the rate ofinterest Is compound
| interest. The result is that, while ordi-
/ nary men, out of their savings, can secure
very little indeed throughout their life
time, If they are Dor yet IL those small
earnings accumulate at high rates of COM
pound interest, it is sufficient absolutely
to emancipsts any ofthem, or all of them,
from poverty. InBirminghsm alone, Is, 1900
houses belong to the workingmen
through this agency, and there are streets
more than q mile long, wherein every
house is the property of the working
classes, The society does not build
houses, but lends the money to a member
| to build. The streets are all drained, and
| every man is bound to drain into the
main sewer, The society advances on
the certificate of the surveyor ss the work
proceeds, always taking care not to ad-
vance too much. II a man goes to a sale
and buys by suction, the surveyor goes
| with him by order of the committee, and
a charge is paid if he buys the property;
but if he gives more for it han the sur
veyor has valued it at, he must find the
| surplus himself.

FOUND DEAD.
An Old Negro Seeks n Lonely Place and

quest by Justice speImAn,

Tuesday evening about dark Justice
Spellmsn was called upon to hold an in
quest on the body of a colored man that
had been found beyond the city limits,
near Wolf river. The Squire travelled
through brush and underground till he
before he arrived at the spot where the
fatal shooting was done. The old negro
was found lying on his back, a small pis-
toll beside him, and a hole through bis
head. The body was considerably de.
composed, indicating that death must
have taken place some days previously.
There was nothing found on the person Of
the dead man save very poor garments, q
teaspoon, and a half empty box OF match
es. The jury said that he committed sui.
eide, and the Squire ordered the body
to be inferred at the expense Of the county,

REJOICE, OH SARDIS I

The crowds who are to attend the fair

occasion to rejoice at their good fortune in
being sure of so faithful and competent a

York, and possesses great advantages over
other existing lines in regard to grades,
curves and liability to interruption by snow
and ice.
Richmond should, therefore, spare no
effort to secure the removal of the obstacles
to navigation which now obstruct the
channel of the lower James. Full and
authentic statements of the facts should
promptly be prepared and laid before
Congress, and that body should be earnest
ly invoked to give its aid in alfording the
proper facilities to commerce. Very little
has heretofoae been done by the Federal
government to promote the commercial
interests of Virginia, and she therefore has
double claim on the justice and liberality
of Congress. Heretofore it has been, to
some extent, the fault of Virginia states
men that little or nothing has been done
for her. Their extreme jealousy of the
Federal power caused them not only to
decline asking aid from Congress, but Oh
one occasion, under the lead of Mr.. Taze-
well, to refuse it when proffered.
That day, however, has passed. The
power of the general government to i'm
prove the channels of navigable streams is
now almost universally conceded. At any
rate it is the firmly established policy of
the government, and it would be folly on
the part of Virginia who bears SO large
portion of the burdens of the government,
not to seek to get her share of the ben
efits.
10 view of the above facts, we cherish
lively hope that Richmond will before long
become city of commercial Importance
And if she should exert herself to improve
her manufacturing capacities, we can see
no reason why she should not double her
population and taxable values within the
next decade.
