publishes a gratifying account OF county

shows the financial policy Of the county
to be unexceptionable. There is typo
graphical error, however, in the state
ment of current expenses as published
this morning, which Captain Mcdowell
informs us should be corrected, as fol-
lows: The current expenses of this year
are 800, 1896 Sc less than for the year
1870, and $l67,6 "a less than for the
year 1869 In the statement Of liabili-
ties, the special tax assessed and now
being collected on the bonds Of the Mis-
sissippi River railroad, should be stated
as on 100000 due January !, 1872, in
stead of 100000, as published. The
County Attorney winds up his interest
ing financial statement with the follow
ing important suggestion to delinquents;
now notify all parties who have failed
to redeem their lands as required by law,
that they must come forward before the
LIST Of December next and redeem their
lands, or will proceed to file bills to re-
cover the lands or taxes, costs and
charges due on the same. All parties
who wish to save their lands and costs
and expenses Of law suit, had better
call on me without delay and adjust
their past due taxes.

MEMPHIS THEATER. house was
densely crowded last night. The dress
circle, parquette and galleries were
filled by an appreciative and pleased
audience, who witnessed the representa-
ton of Lady Macbeth by Mrs. Bow
ers, the portrayal of which character
was magnificent throughout, and gave
infinite pleasure to all lovers of the i'm
mortal Shakespeare 1t was a novelty to
make Lady Macbeth " the leading fig
ure in the great drama, but the histrionie
ability of Mrs. Bowers invested the rep
resentation with an attraction unsur-
passed by any other tragedienne on the
American stage. The Macbeth Of
Mr.. McCollom was a fine and correct
piece of acting, ably conceived and well
sustained. Mr.. Charles Pope, one Of
the managers and proprietors of the the
alter, appeared as Macduff," to the de-
light of all, and the establishment of
many who were unaware of Mr.. Popes
brilliant career on the stage. His rem
dition of Macduff stamped him an actor
second to none that has appeared in
Memphis for many years. In this sub
ordinate part he divided equally with
Mrs. Bowers and Mr.. McCollom the hon
ors of the evening. 1t was rare treat
to witness the characters Of " Macbeth,
Lady Macbeth " and "Macduff rep
resented by three star performers. The
minor characters we're ably sustained by
the company. The chorus in the witch
scene was very good, while the orches-
trail music was admirable. Tonight
Mrs. Bowers yill appear as Lady Aud
lev" in Lady Audlay's Secret, in which
she has created an immense sensation.

A special meeting Of the stockholders
of the Ktna Fire Insurance Company
was held on Thursday forenoon, and It
was agreed to reduce the capital stock
from $3,0OO,O0O0, to $l,5O0,0OO. This
action was verified by the directors, and
official notice given at the office of the
Secretary of State, from which certif-
cate was issued accordingly. The stock
holders then voted to increase the CAPT
tai million and half, bringing it up
to the chartered amount, and the direct
ors will hold a meeting TO arrange the
payment Of the new stock, several plans
being proposed. This action places the
company in possession Of an ample re-
insurance fund, and it will be able to
meet all the requirements as to "condi-
ton" which the legislation of any State
requires. The premium receipts since
the fire have been and are enormous;
over 100000 having been taken by
agents during twenty days in October.

1.-THE feature of the local market is
dullness. Prices are well sustained in
the absence of forced sales. 1t is quite
evident those persons are to be disap-
pointed who expected to buy our best
local stocks on their own terms, because
of the extensive forced sales that were
to be made. Ktna and Phoenix Fire
have both been in demand, at prices
made last week, but no stock has come
on the market this week. The immsdi-
ate future Of the market value Of Astna
will Of course be governed largely by the
amount of the new shares put on the
market. At the annual meeting of the
company held to-day Thursday, the
stockholders unanimously voted to re-
duee the old capital from three million
dollars to one million and q half dollars,
and as unanimously voted to put their
hands in their pockets and pay in a mil
lion and half fresh money, and thus
restore the capital to the old mark Of
three millions, and thus continue to hold
the Etna in the very front rank of in
surance companies of the land 6S
