A Glance a, the Busies, City o.sns South. |, has been said tha, Memphis, Tenn. IS the larses' city of its sze in the United States. Historically the assertion may no, be correct. but II contains truth which canno: be denied. for Memphis :, the largest city of its size. Memphis
 IS a kind of saviour for the great cotton
 growing country of which l, IS the com
 raerc!ai headquarters. We say saviour
 because il had It's birth. death and resur-

 When the prolonged cry Memphis is dead went forth and came back in omin- ous echo, several large business firms went away to do business in distant cities, but their places were afterwards supplied by other men equally IS enter prising, while the refugees. suffering from a loss of trade, sat around and lamen.ed their rashness.

 for growth of which we can, now form no
 approximating estimate but we all do
 know tha, Memphis Is destined b become city second to none ID the south.

 NEWSPAPERS.
 Memphis Is by no mems behind n journalistic enterprise. The 1tbs.!. e6- red by Col. Galloway and he dramatic heating, IS an excellen, paper. broad .n IS views and libeia, and progressive IF idea.
 The A7stisncif ore of ,he bes: neas- papers in the south. IS eii,ei 5v the re- nowned Nichsis. the " old man. who made such a reputation dauas he vel low fever days. when his lively hIr.,or sparkled over the coffin lid and cheerei the living. Walker Kennedy. ely eil. tor of the Acl.,ache. is a br.lllan, young man, quick and en,erp-ising. He is ! student, IS steady. and will attain sue cess in his wisely chosen profession Fred Brennan, the commercial man of the paper, is a success in his ma,hemas- ical department of literature, and has the reputation of being one of the most ac- curate men in the south.
 The Ledyey is one of the best after. noon papers h the county, and IS the hrss afternoon paper tha, ever attained success in the south. Captain Harvey Ma,hes, editor. is a writer of great force and character. He has a way of putting column article into a few inches of space, and as he writes from conviction, ms work IS convincing. Several years ago, during meeting of the Arkansaw fress association. at Searcy, Captain Ma,hes delivered an address. which we do not think was ever surpassed. cer- 'alnlY not in the south. IL Is dificui, to aesiver an interesting and instructive edi- 'orial address. and the mar who can scc- cessfully accomplish the intellectual feat.
