The Corinth Subsoiler hiss these good
words in comment OF arliYles 10 The APPEAL
pointing to, and expressing tho fact that
Memphis is most certainly Gu the high road
to graud prominence az railroad and
business center: If We cannot make big
town of Corinih, and command the trade for
hundreds of miles around, we can have an
important city near by, namely: Mem phis,
if all who have the capacity, either in words
or meanp, or both, will use them in tbs proper
direction. Mississippi will probably never
have a seaport town of much Importance,
but we of the northern part Of the SIste may
have easy access to one on the mighty Mia
sissipPi, which, though not seaport town
in the strict sense OF the word, yet would
answer the purpose admirably. With perfect
sanitary laws rigidly enforced, and freedom
from dssolating epidemic, Memphis can
hardly fail to be, and that in the near future,
one of the most important commercial and
manufacturing cities in the South"
