NEWS FRON B%ARTLITT.
Every available house and spare room
in Bartlett is crowded with panic stricken
M~emphians.
Colonel Williamson has removed his
office to Bartlett, where it will remain
during the epidemic.
The cotton crop round about Bartlett
looks promising. and its merchants wear
a happy smile in anticipation of ebrisk
fall trade.
Since the commencement Of the
scourge in Memphis, Messrs. Williford
Il Anderson, the leading merchants Of
Bartlett, report their business to have
increased 100 per cent. Since these
young men commenced business in Bart

up an enviable cotton and grocery trade.
VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION.

Chickssaw IroA Works bought of C. W.
Goyer L Co. this morning $40 pounds Of
bacon and made a donation Of it to the
citizens relief COMMITTEES. This is a
good example. aud one which we com.
mend to others. The time is coming
when it will be necessary to appeal to
the people for assistance. SO far this

FARES OF THE GRAYs.
A little question has arisen to which
we call the attention Of the relief com.
mittee. The Mississippi and Tennessee
railroad no longer runs regular trains
and Of course is taking in no money.
Colonel Burke has furnished special
trains to carry committees, companies,
supplies, etc free of charge until this
morning, when members of the Grays
we're charged Is cents each way. The
railroad cannot be expected to run their
trains every day for nothing; no can

lie fund. II this is not done the Grays
will probably remove TO the Fair Grounds,
where the duty will be lighter, and the
situation more pleasant in many re-
spects. They can ride to the Fair
Grounds aud return for IA cents. II
some arrangement is not made to pay
their way to the camp and return, they
may leave there altogether.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
To meet the necessities Of the situa
ton it has been arranged that q number
Of the priests Of the Catholic churches
will move out to the camp, that all OIL
