ME,PHIs, November 25, 1873.
The above contains a capital sugges-
ton, and is clear, concise, and to the
point 1t is evidently the product of
business man, who knows the value Of
he right men in the right place, and we
believe it will meet the appreciation and
OF the members Of the cot
ton exchange. Only one year in exist
ence, the institution has given not
merely satisfaction to its members and
the people of Memphis, but il has
achieved for itself and for Memphis a
position on and among the cotton mar
l1ets Of the world. No testimonial that
can be devised would prove half 80
grateful to Mr.. ,Galbresth and his CO.
workers as a spontaneous reelection.

aud Endorsement, and we hope it viii
follow upon the suggestion above
OF F" Many Members" 1t would

OF the cotton exchange thus to |
recognize and indorse work well done. |
We know how it is ourselves, and "a |

Is "Many Members" OF the cotton ex-
,hange have theirs 20 the able officers
md directors who have 50 web and SO
IDLY managed that Institution, they
could have done something we would
,rize beyond 'gold, or silver, OF pre-
iOus stones" As it is, We are proud to
now that not only they, but the entire
ommunity indorse us. We appreciate
he applause and support Of the public, and ,
ge know Messrs. Galbreath d Co. must
.lso, therefore We urge the requltal Of !
heir labor proposed by "Many Mem
,ers," who prove themselves by their
uggestions worthy Of membership in an
Institution the best of its kind, and the
most efficient In the country. VIII not
