The Memphis and Charleston.

The stockholders Of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad have authorized the
issue OF S2,5OO,O00 additional stock to pay
of the Indebtedness of the road and pre-
pare for the contingency of extending the
road from Stevenson to CHATTANOOGA
The present contract between the Nash
vile and Chattanooga and the Memphis
and Charleston was made in $780, II was
made for eight years, and will expire by
limitation in October, 1888. A provision
is made that six months notice must be
given TO either party before it can be alb
rogated. The Memphis and Charleston
stockholders have taken the precaution-
airy step to be in readiness for action in
ample time before the expiration of the
contract. 1t is understood that, now that
the authority is given. the financial agents
Will take the necessary steps to place the
bonds and make the money available. 1t
is the opinion among many that the
Nashville and Chattanooga will demand
an increased rental, and the Memphis
and Charleston people will ask for a re-
duction, hence the probability of a serious
hitch is very imminent, and the prospects
OF the line being built are very favorable.

A WELL FOUNDED COMPLAINT.
Let the Cows. Mules and Goats be Kept
Out of the Streets,

OuI OF lnS cbFdHANs
Editor Morning NecS: So a mule has
knocked down an electric tower in this
great and well regulated city!
am glad to hear it!
For months past South Broad street,
one Of the most beautiful streets in the
city, a general thOrOughiare, whose beau
tiiul green attracts crowds of little chill
dren, has been mace pasture for horses,
which were let loose BY negro boys who
were supposed to mind them, while they
played "heads and tails" at some little
game on the green.
On two occasions a mule has been
driven from one end OF the green, from
Jefferson street to Barnard, (untied) by a
crowd of boys and passers by VINO vol
unteered to catch it.
DrOVes OF COWS, drOves OF hogs, and
cows with young calves, who are apt t.
be vicious, have been driven past without
any rope whatever, and in one instance
COW of this kind would nave run over
my little three-year old boy who was sit
ting in the grass il it had not turned at
the moment. Another COW Of less amia-
bic temper might have done damage.
w hen spoken to ia regard TO this mat
ter, and asked if they did not know
there was a law against It, the general
reply was that Everybody else did it,"
Now | would Ike TO know if everybody
else has right to DO it? do not see
why South Broad street should be made
a pasture for loose cows, horses, and
mules; or why there is not some one
handy to arrest such parties. They GER
tainly do not add TO the beauty of things,
and greatly endanger little children, who
have right to play on the green. Nor
do | know why this street should be se-
lected as a tnoroughfare for droyes of
cows, hogs, and mules.

The Graene NInnnment

Ihave an indistinct recollection OF the
views of those who originated the idea of
erecting a monument to the memory of
Gen. Nathaniel Greene. Considering the
Roman character Of the man and the sim
plicity Of his manners, it was thought that
a granite pillar, W tn his name only and
the names Of his victories cut in the stone.
would be all that was necessary to place
on the pedestal. They were aware OF the
original destination Of the obeIsk and,
rejecting it, they preferred something
like POmpey's pillar or the column OF
Trajan on a small scale. Why it was not
so erected cannot tell, nor Gould those
who had hand in the movement tell In
after years. r. WI.

Manager Gaddls SAYS he intends to run
the Brunswick and Western railroad for
all the money there is In it. 1t was for
that reason that he quit the pool at AL
bany. He found no money in il for his
road, ard believed he could not be worsted
in any change that might be made.
Mr.. Gaddis states that he had already
selected an eligible location at Bruins
wick for permanent shops for the Bruins
wick and Western railroad, and he hoped
that the matter could be satisfactorily
arranged With the municipal authorities.
He says that the contract entered into
years ago, by which certain railroads
agreed 10 close up the Cumberland route,
has expired, and that as soon as the nee
essary ARRANGEMENTS gan be made he will
again open that route.

The wise man takes time by the fore
lock, consequently, to adopt little very
comprehensive slang, he never ''gets left.''
Cold weather is a lit le late IN taking up
its permanent residence with us, but it is
certainly not far off, and the first thing
that good many Will find out to their sor-
row will be that summer clothing isn't
exactly as comfortable as it was some
time back, therefore those who provide
their Winter Clothing little before they
need it will derive many advantages. In
the first place, they will be able to make a
leisurely and satisfactory selection Of
pattern and material; IN the second
place, and most important place,
should any garment not fit, II can be left
with our tailor and such alterations as are
necessary to be made without inconveni-
encing the customer. On the other hand
il you wait until the rigOrs Of the season
compel you to buy, you make a hasty
choice, you won't have time to wait for
any alterations, and, as sad result, you
will wear SUIT that, perhaps, may never
be satisfactory.
The care taken in the manufacture OF
our Gents, Youths and Boys Clothing
generally insures perfect fit at once, but
no matter how shapely the wearer, or
capable the manufacturer, there is always
some little change necessary here or there.
Now the profit on good clothing is whit
tied down 10 next or nothing by cOmpe-
titiOn, and the maintaining OF first-class
tailor for the free use Of our customers,
leaves us a mighty small margin; but 10
please and suit our patrons we are willing
to work close, believing that large sales
will repay Us for small profits.
SO much for this time. We therefore
conclude by reminding the public that our
Gents Furnishing Goods and Underwear
Departments arc still full OF the most
popular articles in these lines. Our
Hats will also merit attention. l6l Con-
