The news stand of Billy Lieben,

CANT store, 292 Main (Clark's marble

articles generally, He will also con-
tinue his old stand, corner Main and

Mcssrs. H. Morris & Bro, the we'll
known dry goods merchants, have
opened a jeans clothing mandatory
at BOG Main street, up stairs, opposite
the Peabody hotel. They will manu-
%facture all grades Of jeans and cotton
AIDES. They have already engaged a
hundred hands, many of whom have
had experience in the business. Their
samples are now on exhibition, and
the goods will lie ready for delivery in
a few days. They intend manufacture
inggood goods, and will compete in price
with any eastern or western makers.
The city has felt the want Of an n
terprise of this character for the past
year, and as such we wish success may
attend this firm. The manufacture Of
such clothing in Memphis gives EN-
pigment and a living to a great many
poor women, who are not competent
in any branch of sewing except the
plainest. This is an enterprise which
deserves to succeed. Merchants Wis
iting our city should call on this firm
and inspect their samples.
