Ano New ana Elegant

lss Main street, Near Washington.
Tom 0'Sullivan, the genial and popu.
lai importer and dealer in imported and
domestic liquors. has removed from his
old stand on the corner of Second and
Washington streets TO his new building
at No. lS9 Main street, two doors north
OF Washington. 1t is by far the best ar
ragged and most complete establishment
IN Memphis, and is net exeelled in these
particulars by any house in the North or
East. 10 front are located samples of
case and bottled goods Of every de-
scription from imported wines and
liquors to imported ales. Glass doors
and a partition separate this APP
partment from the bar proper. This
latter is a little gem, over which Tom
0'Sullivan presides with his usual
characteristic humor and grace. The
bar is nicely fitted up with oil the con-
veuiences known to modern ber.keepine.
An oilcloth and mating adorns the
floor mirrors hang on the walls, and a
choice sample stock of liquors and cigars
is within easy reac' OF the proprietor as
he stands behind the elegant bar. A
plate glass sliding door in q partition
leads you from the bar iuto an elegantly
carpeied and furnished room. Here a
party OF gentlemen can sit and sip their
wines oil ales and smoke their fragrant
Havanas and talk morality or politics.
In another apartment, in real Of this
room, are water closets Of the latest de-
sign. A marble-iop washstand aud look
ing'glass adorn the apartment, thereby
afiording every convenience 10 a sani-
tary way. Water and gas are in every
room and apartment throughout the
house.
From this latter apartment a stairway
leads up to the secoud story, and to this
story there is also o private entrance
from Main street, In this story are four
rooms, painted, carpeted and furnished
with marble.top nantes, gas chandeliers
tables aud chairs, etc. These rooms are
intended for parties of gentlemen who
wish to be in a quiet aud retired place
while they take a refreshing drink or
smoke. They are cozy little club rooms
for philosophers, politicians, wits, OF
humorists. One of the rooms is iurn.
ished for the press fraternity. 1t has q
writing desk and table, we'll supplied
with paper, pens, pencils, ink, etc. Here
the sensational reporter, the heavy lead.
ing editor, the accurate commercial end
man, or the reckless river reporter, car
write down his items of ne VS. or phapta
sizes of the brain at pleasure, between
pulls OF smoke or between drinks. Al
to the liquors kept by Tom O'Sullivar
it is unnecessary to write. They are
known to be rich with age and the besi
that can be purchased either at home OF
abroad. We predict that Tom will max,
a little fortune out Of his Emerald Sa
loon and Sample Rooms at No. l8s
Main street.
The elegant work done on the house
reflects credit upon the workmen EN-.
pleyed, as follows: Nelson & O. Brien,
plumbing and gas fitting; James Cassidy,
carpenters work; Randle, Heath &
Livermore, casting aud iron work; Cooyer
d Miller and their foreman, Mr.. Murphy,
doors and sash. and James johnson,
