Gold and silver Goods, Medals,
Badges, Door Plates and
Stamps-CIOcks,W Watches,
SPectacIes and Fine
JeWelEy.

Nothing betrsys the rapid improve.
ment of country as much as the suc-
cess of the trades and manufactures OF
the same. In reviewing the present
condition Of our city, we cannot fail to
notice the prosperity Of the house above
named, which is located at No. 80 Sec.
ond street. Mr.. Thsyer has displayed
his knowledge and energy by securing
and bringing Into our midst class OF
workmen who are equal to any in the
country. He now has a large class OF
his goods, manufactured under his own
eye, and after unique and original de-
signs of his own or those proposed by
his customers. On account of his goods
being manufactured at home, he saves
the enormous transportation rates that
are necessarily charged on costly mer-
chandise, as well as the profits of the
wholesale dealer, and by this means l.
enabled to compete sue 3essfully with
eastern establishments. The progress If
his business, the rapid extension OF
every department OF the same, and the
universal satisfaction that he gives TO
each and all OF his customers, is q guar.
anty Of bis energy, perseverance, and
general business sagacity. He Is pre-
pared to remodel old gold and silver
ware, or to purchase the same with mer-
chsndise or cash, thus enabling those
who have such goods defaced by wear
or abuse to have them rest red to their
original value, or to realize the full
worth Of the same. Parties dealing in
Mr.. Tbsyer's line Of business will find it
to their advantage 10 give him call.

MEMPHIS AND CINCINNATI
Our River COnnectIOns-AP Packet Line
with unprecedented Success
Good steamers, Reliable Of
ficers, and AccOmmO-
dating Agents.

The Memphis and Ohio river packet
company, OF which James 8. Wise Is
superintendent, and James d. Parker is
secretary, at Cincinnati, and r. w.
Lightburne is superintendent at Mem
phis, is one of the most important feed
ers to Memphis commerce. The above
packet company has been in existence
for eight years, always running first
class boats, having ia the line now the
e,egant steamers James w. Gsff, Andy
Baum, Cons Millar, Vint Sainkle, and
James D. Parker, leaving Memphis, as
regular as clock work, every Tuesday
and Friday, at five O'CLOCK, for Cincin-
natl and ali points east. No line of
steamboats, making Memphis their ter
minus, has worked SO diligently to the
interest Of Memphis as the above. To
Memphis they are indeed benefsctor.
Thousands of people desiring to visit
the Centennial, and all eastern points,
can and will readily testify that no route
or line leaving Memphis gave them
similar advantages, either for speed, safe.
ty or comfort. Ali the officers of the
line are regularly licensed, and the
picked men Of the country. AS the line
never meets with an accident is evidence
enough that they are thoroughly manned
and efficient. Captain James 8. Wise,
the general superintendent at Cincin-
na'i, Is one OF the most thorough steam
boatmen the continent can produce. His
success shows this, as he has never failed
at anything he undertakes.

The Eagle Shoe Store.

The reputation Of no house in the
Mississippi valley Is more permanently
established than that of Mr.. ]. w.
Voegeli, the Eagle shoestore man, at
No. 344 Main street. Industrious, enter
prising and thoroughly devoted to the
shoe trade, this gentleman has acquired
an envisble reputation, and from q
small be ginning has built upa trade that
will compare favorably with any estab-
lishment in this or any other city-in the
southwest; and, furthermore, Mr.. Voc
geli claims that his is the cheapest shoe
store in Memphis. Mr.. Voegeli deals
in nothing but first-class goods in every
grade, which are sold at figures very
smsIl advance on first cost. He is
enabled to do this because he buys from
manufacturers at cash prices, and sells
only for cash. He has one of The largest
and most varied stocks to be found In
any establishment of its kind, which
comprises every article usually kept in q
well-appointed shoe store. It Is useless
to enter into detail, for here can be found
every grade of shoe from the coarsest
brogan to the most elegant and tasteful
boot. In the ladies' and ehildren's de-
partment Mr.. Voegeli makes special
ty, and can always supply the latest
novelties and most beautiful styles. MIR.
Voegeli assures his patrons that they
cannot fail to secure what they need or
fancy, because be f1stters himself that
he has as complete and varied stock
as can be found south OF the Ohio river
from which to select. Call at the + agile
shoe store and be assured that what we
say in every word and detail is true to
the letter. Mr.. Voegeli also manufac-
lures largely in ali lines of gods, and
keeps on hand a large variety OF his
own manufacture. He offers to the
trade sll styles of shoe and gsitsr uppsrs,
by the single piece or dean.

MILF HARRY'S LIME.
The White River and Memphis Trade
His Enterprise and Fidelity i'm Sc
curing the Trade and Accom-.
mOdating the People.

Among the many enterprises that our
city boasts OF, none are more to be COM
mended, for no one has perhaps con-
tributed more largely and directly to the
interest Of Memphis than Captain Miit
HaTry's line of White river steamers.
Captain Harry has long been engaged
In sIesmbOating. Yet, when he under
taok the establishment of regular line
of steamers in the Memphis and White
river trade, many predicted that he would
soon be bankrupt. Captain Harry, how
ever, possessing dauntless spirit and
good judg ment, was in no way dlscouT-
aged, but undertook the haz ardous en-
terprise upon his own responsibility.
Since then, he hss labOred hard and
faithfully to secure the White river trade
Tor Memphis and to afford the people
along that stream Ielis BILE and regular
facilities for transportation and travel
In this he has succeeded, and ia now re.
garded as invaluable. Without his aid
the people along White river
would often have been annoyed
and perplexed by the want Of shipping
facilities. That Captain Harry should
be literally encouraged and sustained
no one can doubt, the continuance of his
steamers in the ABOVE trade being high
ly advantageous to Memphis and her
merchants especially. Despite the dull
season, Captain Harry kept the Ruth in
the trade, although every tlip was great
loss to him. For this alone, he is en-
titled TO the support of the public, and
especially those who have business up
White river. He is now running the
Bstesville in place of the Ruth, which is
being repaired for the fall season and
L - l.
as the business requires another steam
er, he will run two boats in White riv-
er, leaving Memphis every Tuesday and
Saturday. We hope to see Captain
Harry sustained, for he has done much,
very mucu, for the interests of, Memphis
and the people of the White river coun-
fry
