An Opportunity is offered Memphis, at this
moment OF obtaining the establishment here
OF a hust-class cotton mill, conducted BY eN-
perienced parties connected with our city
business for years. The subject is one worth
the attention Of the Chamber Of commerce.

loan Of a certain amount OF capital Al a ialT
rate Of interest, and the concession from the
City Councils o. certain privileges Tor a limited
period. Is this opportunity b receive atten-

nOurishing Southern state to-day Is Georgia.

and municipal as well as state taxes, and EN-
braces the real estate, buildings, machinery
and other property employed in the business.
The act covers not only new enterprises 10 be
undertaken hereafter, but all additions 20 eN-
listing establishments. 1t is expected thar this
law will exercise a very favorable influence

and business energy decide tho result. or will
eight out Of ten Of the business men OF the
city pass ~ by with nsuess Indifference, econ
omising picayunes instead Of assuring large
gains in the future. To make Memphis the
city she can be, and ought 10 be, wemust have
more than a business Of receiving products
from the surrounding country and furnishing
1t with supplies. That kind Of trade is liable
TO be affected oy the routes trade takes by
railroads and other means Of communication.
As those change the mightiest cities sink and
Kingdoms lose their pO~iiuOn-witness Venice
