Startling MOye-A Bold StrOke-A
New Era for Memphis
DawniDg.

One of the largest real estate transactions
that has taken place in Memphis for many
day is the purchase of the Jackson block by
Menken Brothers. When the startling an
nouucement was first made that this popular
firm had purchased the properly with the
intention of moving there, no one supposed
that more than the two stores on the corner
of Main and Gayoso were included. Now,
however, it is known that the entire build
ing has been purchased and will be occupied
by the Menkens from cellar to garrett, max
ing one of the grandest business houses in
the United States. Some idea OF the vast
ness OF this building can be formed by max
ing a few figures. The structure Is five
stories high, fronting III feet on Main street,
running back 14S feet; each floor, therefore,
contains 1876 square feet, which gives
Sc $50 feet for the whole building, or q total
area of over two acres. We have been rum
ming in a groove, and bold stroke like this
awakes the sleepers, puts new life into de-
caying enterprise, and arouses the whole
population to a sense of what may be hoped
from progressive Memphis. We learn that
the building will be remodeled at once, work
beginning tomorrow, and be ready for &C.
cupancy about July LIST. Mr.. f. G. Jones,
the well-known architect, left with Mr.. j. A.
Menken for New York on Thursday last, for
the purpose OF taking advantage OF all mod
ern building improvements, as well as The
great advances M de in decorative and use
ful architecture. The people of Memphis
can feel that they will soon have business
house which can be pointed TO with pride.
We certainly wish the enterprising firm the
greatest success, and trust that every lover
of Memphis will remember them as the
pioneers in the grand prosperity that is now
dswnipg on Memphis.

NEW York, February 10.-The long
expected biography OF Bryant, by his son-in
law, Parke Goodwin, will be published by the
Appletons this month. 1t is said by the New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, that "the history of American litera
ture for the last fifty years is pretty well told
in the letters and correspondence of Mr.
Bryant. Mr.. Goodwin, being his executor
and administrator, has, of course, all his
papers and manuscripts at his command, and
l am told by man and a critic who hal
read part of the proofs of the biography
that it is almost equal in interest to Trevel
vans MaeaulSy. This is saying great deal
because this life of Macauley is about as in
teresting biography as has ever been writ
ten. Among the letters that will be publish
ed in this biography of Mr.. Bryant are ,
number from the most eminent men ir
American literature. Mr.. Goodwin gives
poem that was written by Mr.. Bryan in BIZ
twenty fifth year, after he had been merci
lessly Tilted by tickle young lady. Their,
are also number of fragmentary poems ir

cial and personal interest,""
