The best false alarm Of fire that wa
sounded in Memphis in three yearE and

Of the Radical Committee of Shelby

We have received from Messrs. Dono-

There are nearly two hundred mem

Association, At the meeting held yesser-
day it was announced that the wholesale
liquor men and the cigar merchants Of
the city intend to join the organization az
once. When in fuu working order, as it
will be in 8 few days, this organization
will be the strongest in the city.
We have heard it said that such is the
stste of public opinion, and so exssper-
sted are the people by violent deeds done
not long ago in the city, that no red
handed offender will dare TO go to trial ct

therefore continusnces will be demanded.
