HERSELF AGAIN

|
 knowu faces are missing from the streets and busy marts of the town; but ill a business point of view Memphis is 1 herself again. The busy bastle and rush of business has again been resnm- cd, and perhaps at no period have the enterprising business men of tlat place been better prepared to fill all orders for goods, and to transact all business for their old friends and customers than they now are. It is said there is not an old stock of goods in Memphis. Everything is new and fresh; and having purchased their new stocks upon the present low priyes, the whole sale houses of Memphis are prepared to do pereaps better than ever before by their patrons, We bespeak for our recently afflicted nelghbor city rous- ing revival of business, and a most prosperous trade throughout the re- maiuder of this season. She has busi- ness concerns second to none in the West or Sonth-such concerns as any city might be proud to claim. Among this number, we have the pleasure of pointing 10 some whose cards appear in this paper; and We appeal to our merchants an shippers of cotton and produce to consider the strong merits and claims of these firms, and to show them that we have fellow-feeling for the suffering and losses they have sus- tained. We consider the claims of our Memphis friends very strong and hope Arkansas wilLpo her trade into that city. Among the most substantial firms of that city which are now again ready to serve their Arhansas friends We will mention Che following:
 BRooKs, N&ELY < Co.,,
 Which is one of the most solid and wealthy business firms in the Bluff City. They are wholesale dealers in groceries and plautauon supplies, and cotton factors. From personal ae- v quaintauce with the gentlemen who constitute the firm we pronounce them among the eleverest and most thorough going business men we have ever known. They occupy business quarters at 307 front street in one of the most spacious ane best arranged buildings in the city. Their Arkansas representa- tive, Mr. Cad Hanks, IS well known 10 most of inc business men up the Arkan- sas River Valley, and to know him is to love him.
 MEssRs. HuL $ MITCHELL,
 Wholesale dealers in boots and shoes. This is another firm which has made name which places it among the best houses in the city. They have for many years had large and constantly increasing trade in our State; and We trust it will now be larger than ever heretofore. In addition to their stock of boots and shoes, they also keep full line of mems and children's hats. For any goods in their line we cordially commend this housc, and when their good-iooking and gentletoaniy repre- sentative, Mr. Miles Staudish, come, along we hope all our merchants will nave an order for him.
 HILL, FoNTAINE X Co.
 1t home, and throughout all of Teun- e8see, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas this firm is lnown as one of the "o}.i reliable" establishments of Memphis. Their branch of trade is grocer Ies and the cotton business. They are also agents for the celebrated Carver Cotton Gin. As. gentlemen of high honor, strict business qEalliications, and true worth we 70 .oc feel .hat We can rey- oaineel tlls firm too highly. line house is one ol ample means and capac- .ity to accommodate all the trade that t3.ey may be favored with.
 A. VAUcARo & Co.,.
 Wholesale ylealers in " ines and liquors; this is one of the best houses iu Mem phis in this line of goods. They have for many years been known to the Arkansas t~ia up this riyel aud never yet have they toilel to satisfy every patron in all their business dealings.
