BLUFF CITY ENDOWMENT
ASSOCIATION.
Life Insurance WiIhOnt Dying
Better than the TODtine Plan.

The utmost ingenuity and business
sagacity seem to have been developed
in the recent organization Of mutual
benefit associations. The principle
seems new, yet it promises nothing
more than can be realized where
there is cooperation and good faith.
The Bluff City Endowment AssO
citation seems to embrace the best
features of the many plans presented
to the public in the last few months.
Every member may know exactly
what he or she will have to pay in
twelve months and approximately
what the benefit will be. It's so near
certainty that the investors may rest
easy. The plan is equitable and
feasible; il is fair and attractive. Any
person Of good moral character over
ten years Of age may become a mem
Der. For term of years, with any
sort Of energy and management, the
members are sure to realize handsome
profits on their investment. The
officers are well known citizens of
good standing, and are active, ener-
getic and reliable. Deposits are made
in the German National Bank. Hon.
VIM. NJ. Randolph, a leading lawyer,
is legal adviser. Ample bonds are
given by the officers. An ADVERTISE
ment in to-day's LEDGER sets forth
the prominent features Of the plan.
II is sue to attract general attention
and build up large membership.
Captain George Mitchell, the SeorO-
tary, has had much experience as an
agent in this line, and is noted for
energy and clear hsadedness and per-
sonal popularity. For further infor-
nation application should be made to

CATTLE THIEVES,
Who Have Been Operating Ex-
tensively Near MilIingtOn.

Some wholesale cattle and sheep
stealing has been going on in the
neighborhood of Millington station,
fifteen miles from Memphis, on tho
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, one
farmer named Rankin losing twenty
five head of cattle, while neighbor,
Terrell Goldsby, mourned the loss of
about 135 head Of sheep. The first
robbery occurred about June 10Th,
and the last on the 22d Of July.
Sheriff Athy was informed, and, after
working on the matter for some days,
warrants were issued for Dixie
Knight, Bud Dickens and Ed Patter-
son, three white youths, the eldest not
more than twenty years Of age. 1t is
alleged that these boys we're in the
habit Of meeting in an old pasture at
nightfall, when they unsaddled their
horses and waited until late in the
night, when they selected fromtbe stock
that grazed there the best specimens,
divided them into three herds aud
drove them into the city, where they
we're disposed of, by different roads
Last Saturday night Deputy Sherifs
Pope, AlsOp and Britt rode out to the
scene of this wholesale stealing, and
succeeded in effecting the capture Of
Patterson, who was at home conyal-
escing from afinjury. He was thrown
from his horse about week ago and
his collar bone was broken. Patter-
son was turned over to Constable
Tally, of the Second Civil District. 1t
is reported that his companions have
left the country.

The Right Of WAY.
New Orleans states. Aur. 25.

Judge Michael Hahn has rendered
a very sensible decision against the
right of the so called town of Kenner
to prevent the passage of the Missis
sippl Valley railroad through the corn
and cane fields embraced within the
limits Of that mythical burg. The
Judges opinion is marked not only BY
good sense, but by more familiarity
with legal precedents and settled de-
cisions in regard to the right of way,
which may be exercised by all public
carriers, and the lack Of municipal
authority to obstruct the same from
capriclous or corrupt motives.

1t is due to the old and the new pa
irons Of this paper to say that at no
period Of its history has the LEDGER
been more prosperous or had a greater
number of readers than at present.
The first number Of the MEMPHIS
PUBLIC LEEGER was issued on the
first day Of September, 1865. 1t was
not the only afternoon paper then, and
at various times since competitors have
arisen, and after 6tful existence gone
the way Of many journalistic wrecks,
The longevity Of our paper amid SO
many failures is due 10 the fact that
its founders, including the present
proprietor of the establishment, and
all connected with it since in any res
ponsible capacity, have been and
are practical and earnest in
their endeavors. They have
dealt fairly and squarely with all
classes, and being hard workers them
selves, have enjoined it upon others.
The hard licks and toll employed in a
legitimate enterprise have brought 8
reasonable return. The hardest worked
and poorest paid men in all the ayoca
tions requiring combination of spe
cial mechanical and intellectual train.
ing, are to be found around a news
paper office. Yet when there is fair
field and proper effort, the results may
be quite satisfactory. The LEDGER,
in all its ups and downs and struggles,
has endeavored to represent the best
interests Of the community and to
build up the city on a foundation Of
equal welfare to all classes. 1t has
pursued a direct line of policy
which seems to have been
appreciated by the thinking masses.
That enemies would be made by a
concern which has paid its employees
week in and week out for seventeen
years, and discharged every public and
private obligation all that time, is q
matter of course. That it should be
denounced by disappointed politicians
who were not manufactured into colos
sal statesmen. and by other sore heads
who have equally as good cause tC
complain, is complimentary rather
than otherwise. The LEDGER is tbC
Oldest and most successful Afternoon
paper in the South, and owes it
position to the fact that it bs'
always represented and advocated
the development and material inter
ests Of the city and surrounding coun
try. We refer to this now, in view o
the fact that the seventeenth anniver
sary of the paper occurs on the 1st o
September, and we will issue on tha
day double.sized paper and edition
that will be credit to the city and t,
Southern journalism. There is rail
road, commercial and building boom
a manufacturing and general indus
trial boom at hand, and the LEDGER
as one of the factors which has pre-
dicted and fought for it SO long, ex
poets to ride along very near the tOI
Of the great incoming wave of genera
prosperity.

Explorers Ahead.

Some two hundred excursionists
passed through our city early this
morning, on their way to Texas, and
with ordinary luck have by this time
crossed the line of the Lone Star
State. Some seventy cf the number
were from Nashville and vicinity and
a car full Of ladies formed a part Of
the crowd. When they left Hopeheld
at Sam, there were five passenger
coaches and sleeper full. A number
came down the Louisville and Nash
Vile road from Bowling Green and
bey md, while others were off the line
of the Nashville aud Chattanooga
route. Another and a larger party,
numbering perhaps four hundred, is
expected to arrive here at 4:3O this
afternoon, and will follow on to
Texas. They will be met
at Texarkana by agents OF
the various railway. lines. and every
attention possible will be given, yhile
opportunity is also to be extended to
enable them to examine the country
and enjoy themselves. A number Of
the excursiOnists are going all the way
tU San Antonio, while others will not
stop until they reach the end of the
railroad. The excursionists have been
given a cheap rate, fare one way
taking them out and back again, and
they have the privilege of stopping
over anywhere along the course.
