W. App, shoemaker of this city,
exhibited at the AealGnche Office, last night
a monster pair of brogans, made by him,
on order, for negro preacher in MARVEL,
Arkansas. The length of each shoe is 17a3
inches. The measurement around the in-
step is 1S inches, and around the ball IA
inches. The price of the shoes and the last
(Which latter was made to order) was $16.
The man who can make such pair of shoes
and survive the effort must surely be a first
class shoemaker. The height of the negro
is seven feet full, and his weight is 400
pounds. Memphjs Tenn. A9ataaehe. ss
