The country people haul cotton to
this market more than fortymiles this
season. 1t rolls in rapidly, many
teams coming from beyond Wythe, and
also beyond Senatobia, both on the
line Of railways. The cotton growers
are less DESTROYS to soil the staple to
interior merchants than they were last
year, and they having all raised short
crops, have plenty Of time to haul
thereby saving freight charges.

riman and Schmehl, two noted persons

The Free Trader, a new weekly,
has made its appearance in Memphis.
Its motto is, Devoted to the develop
ment of the South-Down with all
monopolios.n The editors aud pro-
prietors arc Avery aud Lee Msri-
wethcr, sons Of Major Minor and Mrs.
e. A. Meriwether. The effort they
have made is quite croditable. They
are highly educated young men,
animated by a laudable ambition.
The FREQ Trader is an eight-rage
paper, and its young editors WELD a
free lance. Much space is devoted to
Southern literature and original arti-
cles, both from the sanctum aud from
contributors. Being opposed to mon
opolics, of course the paper is antago-
nistic to the 1908 infamy. It should
therefore be set down as No, 43 on
the list. 1t also contains two fair car.

business man of Memphis. Alto

'sOlivette."
Audran's opera, repeated at Leu
brie's theater last night to a fine au-
dience, afforded much delight, and in
several of the funniest parts aroused
enthusiasm. Miss Catherine Lewis,
the prima donna, is much like the
French Aimee, many claiming her to
be much younger, fresher, more nat
ural, bewitching and mischievous.
She is a fair and rather dramatic sing
er, though not a great one, but there
is an irresistible charm about her
which captivates. DIR. John Howson,
who in years past gave US many pleas
ing illustrations of burlesque opera
when with the earlier Alice Oates
party, makes a fine success Of the
irrascible and stupid old sea dog,
Captain De Merrimac. The remain
ing characters are clever. Our play
going people are becoming quite ia
miliar with "0liyette" and compare
the several actors and singers with
those previously seen in the same
parts-some favorably, others not.
The opera is repeated this afternoon
for the last time. Tomorrow nigh

A MARRIAGE HERE.
What Constitutes n Contract ia the Dis

There is a case pending in our District
court In which the judges will in few days be
required to decide as to what act or ceremony Is
necessary to constitute marriage. The decisions
in the courts Of the District Of Columbia have not
been In harmony on this point, and have gen.
orally conlcted with the opinions OF courts In the
Northern States. One, at least. OF our judges has
held that a man and a woman are not lawfully
husband and wife by reason of living ana cohabit-
ing together and acknowledging themselves as
married. The courts In nearly oil ofthe Northern
States have held that for all legal purposes the
marriage Is valid under the circumstances above
