MEMPHIS APPEAL
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 80, 1889
OUR TRADE PROSPECTS,.

The evidences thicken every day proving
that Memphis is about to enter on a new era
of material growth and prosperity, in which
her business men must take the lead. Free
from epidemics, blessed with unusual health,
fine crops and new railroad facilities, there
Is nothing to prevent the city from bound
ing into prosperity unprecedented. A new
decade has certainly opened before us bright
with every promise. Our spirit, energy and
enterprise must be equal 10 our Opportu-
mites. The trade Of Memphis must and will
be extended. as it can be, in almost every
direction without limit, and this extension of
trade means the building up, beautifying and
adjoining of our city until it reaches point
in population and size that will assure its
fortunes as one OF the greatest commercial
emporiums of the South. Ga our business
men this labor depends, and knowing their
energies we feel sure it will be rapidly done
in the future. There is not more en,erpris-
ing body of business men in any city in
the world than those of Memphis. They
have hitherto been prevented from carry
ing out their aspirations by misfortunes
too numerous here to mention, but they are
preparing for the new era, and are united in
a determination to extend their commercial
conqaests and make this city the emporium
of still wider radius of country. A new
railroad has just been completed, and
there will be three more in short space
of time. Everything tends to show that the
fnure of the niiy bright PC
now. The people are engaging extensively
in manufacturing, and this will trsnsfure
new life. From this time forward it is safe
to say that Memphis will from day TO day
more and more assume the characteristics Of
a great commercial center.

THE OTHER SIDE
or the CIaxtOn-Rives Difficulty at
Stanton Station.
somerville Falcon, August 18th.

Somerville Falcon, August 18th.
A street fight occurred at S; anton on Tues
day, the 9th instant, between Mr.. T. J. Clax
ton, of District No. 4, in this county, and Mr.
VIM. c. Rives, of Stanton. 1t was not oul
intention to publish the affair as it was
matter of minor Importance, and not of spe.
cial interest 10 tho P-Iblio- Tho SIGHT grow
out OF the late election, and both of the par
ties concerned are personal friends of ours
We are induced 10 speak OF the diff.
fculty now because a mole hill has been
made into mountain, and the Brownsville
Democrat has published an account of the
affair that does injustice to Mr.. Claxton. We
don't accuse the Democrat of intentional mis-
represention, but suppose its account was OBJ
tanned from prejudiced parties. Mr.. Clsx-
ton is one OF the best citizens in Fayette
county. His reputation for sobriety, peace.
full and honor bic conduct is unexcelled, and
he tells us this is the first fight he ever had
IN his life. The charge that he struck Mr..
Rives with brass knucks is totally untrue
and to those acquainted with Mr.. Claxton's
character and habits, very absurd. The
fight, as We understand it, was mutually COM
menced, and both parties recei, ed injuries,
Mr.. Claxton being struck once or twice with
a heavy stick. The matter has been greatly
magnited, and Mr.. Claxton has been prose-
cuted with malicious vindictiveness. He was
charged with attempts at murder and various
and sundry crimes" bound over to court in
the sum of $500, and sent to the Brownsville
Jail in default of bond. Mr.. Claxton is fully
able to give any bond he desires. As soon
as the news of his incarceration reached
Mr.. Frank Trimbe and Mr.. John
w. Bailey, of the firm of Bailey & Coving-
ton, went to Brownsville and released him.
Twenty other men would have gone if it had
been necessary. We take no part in the
difficulty as far as the fight in itself is con-
cerned, but as TO the subsequent proceedings
toward Mr.. Claxton we think they were un-
just to him and complimentary TO no one

Startling Devel .pment in the Kewanee
Bank Robbery.

KEwANEE, ILL, August 29.-Great ex-
sitement exists over the arrest of Pratt,
cashier OF the First National Bank, on the
charge ofcomplicity in the recent robbing in
which the thieves got away with $4,000.
The arrest has just been made, and the de-
tectives claim that they have plenty OF
evidence to sustain the charge. Pratt WAS
not suspected at first, but the more the de-
tective hunted flor clew, the more they be-
came convinced that WEIGH and his accom-
at the bank, the subsequent call for it, the
locking up of the cashier aud his assistant,
Miss Harris, in the vault were all pre-
arranged. The detectives feel confident of
being ultimately able to recover all the
money stolen. A valse containing $500 of
the stolen money was found in a cornfeld.

Charles City county yesterday. For some
as yet unexplained reason james Orange, a
respectable farmer, killed his wife with a
shotgun, while the two were at the house
alone. The husband surrendered himself TO
a deputy sheriff, but gave no account of the
crime. While he was being taken to Jail
Henry Woodcock, brother OF the murdered
woman, attempted to avenge his sisters death
by killing Orange, but was prevented by
officers. Some attribute the crime to jealousy.

OF COU RISE.

While they sat before the fire,
Nothing more did he desire
Than to get little higher,
If he could;
And his heart beat higher and higher,
And her look grew shyer and shyer,
When he sided up close by her,
AS he should.
Then he ventured to inquire
III her sister Jane Maria,
And her mother and her sire
We're quite we'll.
And from time to time he'd eye her,
As though he would like to buy her,
And his bashfulness was dire,
For spell.
Then his husky throat grew dryer
When he told her that the squire
To himself would gladly tie her,
If she would.
Might he ask her sire?
And he thought he would expire,
When she said TO his desire
That he could.

Louisville a Fortunate CITY.

several citizens have of late gotten small for
