Dear Democrat
Nv last communication from this
lively, pushing place, was written
too soon after my arrival to give
more than "bird's eye" view of
its many wonders and attractions.
Considering the vast number Of set
backs Memphis has encountered
both from scourge and otherwise
during the last decade, her pre-
sent vast extensive and recupera-
tive energies are truly a matter of
surprise and establishment. Highly
favored as it is naturally, sitting as
a queen in her glory on promon
tory overlooking the great river,
the Father of Waters, which in con-
nection with so many railroads, of
which it is the centre, with sur
rounding country of unrivalled fer
tility, bordering as it does on the
very heart of the finest cotton grow
ing belt the whole world can boast
of, managed as it is by men of such
energy, vim and comprehensive
views. 1t would be strange indeed,
ifit did not justly aspire to become
a great leading mart Of commerce
and manufacture, for a large por-
ton of the new and rapidly growing
South West, of which all indica-
tons point to it as great capital
and entrepot. Situated on a vast
undulating plain, even its natural
drainage-so essential to health
is we'll nigh perfect. This in con-
neetion with artificial works has
given for it what is styled "perfeot
drainage" The more seen of the
place the greater must it excite ad-
miration; at continued rate of its
/
present rapid advancement from its
present population, 10000, it is
confidently predicted that by the
end of the present century it will
have reached 100000. What other
Southern city can exhibit a bright
er record Iu ornateness and beau.
ty Of architecture the magnificence
of the natural groves, in which
many are embraced, its private res.
licences attract and encbain wonder
and admiration, exceeding any ]

progress, activity and thrift of which

proud. 1

UNLESS prohibition shall be
extended to cover grape growing,
the United States will yet be the
greatest wine-producing country in
the world. At the present rate of

The country has 100 acres adapted
to grape culture to one acre in

as France.

to see one-half of the Office holders
changed and filled by Democrats.
Then we can start square and place
