FORTUNES OF A FIRM.
They Have Occupied New ApaFtnsuis-
What They Have DsHs for De.

We called yesterday upon Messrs.
DonobO q Bulkley, at their new location
in the "Insurance Building SO Madison
street, and can only ask that you 20 and
see for yourselves, as we did, In its con-
structiOn and appointments, the most
complete business Office and presided ever
by the Invest men in the city. These gen
tlemen have with an answering purpose
and by indomitable energy, overcome
difficulties many and peculiar to the IN
dertaking, and have not only demonstrated
the prscJIcability Of that which to most
of us at the beginning deemed doubtful Of
accomplishment, but have wrought out q
high degree Of success, in the introduction
Of foreign capital and population into this
portion of the South. Quietly, but earn
estly, have they prosecuted the enterprise
of Southern lands and emigration" IN
sustained by either State, county or city
aid, to a point promising not only
the rich pecuniary reward, but as
well the hearty congratulations and
thanks Of the whole country and
especially of the citizens Of Memphis,
which they have so deservedly earned,
Every citizen and property holder Is di-
rectly interested and should take every
occasion to manifest that interest, by en-
courag1ng n "GOd speeding" men who
have labOred so zsalOusly and untiringIv
in disseminating throughout the world
such facts and information, as Is already
attracting capital and labor, to give vital
ity and value to our lands, and enhance
ments to common interests.
These gentlemen have made the matter
of "ReRl Estate and Emigration" ono of
constant study, and in the Inauguration
and perfection Of the plans have with
great caution established lines of cooper
alive agencies and correspondence, reach
ing all through the Northern, Western
1 I'D TTu-fr-- Es9Eaa U1--I,- G---4 nj
ain and the Continent Of Europe, and
through these channels disseminating
! OF their own publications, thousands and
thousands Of pamphlets and other dOcu-
ments containing facts and information
! calculated to convince and direct the tide
! Of emigration, which is fast setting South
ward. Hundreds ofthOusands Of dollars
have been invested, and from15 600 to 49,
900 population have been added during
the past three years through the instru-
mentality of this firm, to Memphis and
the surrounding country of West Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Alabama and MISSISSIPPI
pi; and if they have the hearty Corpora
tson of our people they will extend in
definitely their operations. These gentle
men were the prime movers, as q OF
the utmost importance to the success Of
the whole scheme, in obtaining reduced
rates Of railroad and other transpOr-
tatiOn for Southern bound emigrsnts.
1t is mainly to their efforts that the South
is indebted for the establishment of a line
of frst-clsss steamers between Liverpool
and Norfolk, and q rate placing an emf
grant from Liverpool to Memphis for
fOrty-6ve dollars, greenbacks.
They propose to put in operation such
plans as will restore vitality and former
activity to Memphis real estate; and are
prepared to meet in the largest measure,
the views and requirements of both buy
ers and sellers Of land all over the Coun-
try,ss well as to give proper direction and
availability to that fOOd-tide Of emigra-
ton now preparing to embark from Eu-
rOpean and Northern homes for the "Sun-
ny South" On with your work, gentle
men, until millions Of capital and people
shall find an abiding place among US.
Your success is Our success, and hat Of our
city and country.
