Now every one knows that the life
and happiness Of a lawyer depends
largely on his tones of dry legal lore, in
fact, nearly as much as on his endless
varieties of involved sentences and in
explieable forensic philosophy. The
condition of the fraternity in Memphis
must be bad when the brethren are all
complaining of lost volumes. They are
making bold effort to take fresh start
in the matter of library privileges.
Here is the latest proposal made with
this view, a copy of which was served
Offices in the city yesterday:
MEMPHIS, November I9, IS72.
DEAR SIR-Many of US miss from our
libraries books for which, when bor-
rowed, no receipts were left. Lawyers
are always willing to lend books to one
another, but in many cases the non-re-
turn of a borrowed book causes great
trouble to the owner, and even the most
careful sometimes forget to return books
promptly. 1t is well, occasionally, to
take a new departure, and today is as
good a time as we VIII ever find to do
so. viii you, therefore, kindly look
over your shelves, and, if you find a
borrowed book, return it at once-tO-ddy.
If you have further use for it, you can,
by leaving a new receipt, carry it back
with you. By doing this, we will take
a fresh start, with full shelves and clean
receipts, and all will feel better toward
one another. We pledge ourselves to
do likewise. Respectfully,

| New SroRE.-Mr. A. Harshaw, Of
Pontiac, visited this city last Wednes,
day, on a prospecting to,r,-lookire
for location to start hardware store.
After ascertaining that Alpena had
but one establishment of the kind,
and that the place would support two,
he went to Bolton & McRae, rented
their new store, which is being fitted
up, and left on the Wenona, to pur-
chase the stock. Mr.. Harshaw has
been many years in the hardware
business, and, being personally ac-
quainted with him, we can recommend
him to the public as a straight-for-
ward, honest and upright man, and
one who well deserves fair share of
the public patronage. He has associ-
ated with himself Mr.. w. NWinslow,
also of Pontiac, and the firm name
will stand A. Harshaw & Co. The
store is to be ready and opened with
their stock of goods about the 10th
inst. See advertisement elsewhere.
Anothr-B. Richards, who has
been for long time in the employ Of
Potter e. Bro, and b. +. Young, un.
der the firm name of b. Richard 6,
Co., are making preparations to estab,
lish another hardware store in the
building now occupied by ID. G. Aber,
as a furniture room. Mr.. Richards is
now below purchasing stock. These
gentlemen are too well known in our
city to need any recommendation al
our hands.
