Always ready TO recognize real
merit, the APPEAL gives space for the
following brilliant literary effort by
the celebrated "Tack-HammerS
Wells: "Snow-balling Is going on at
$3.50 o'clock pm. There is as much
mud thrown as there is beautiful
snow. Kids are on top OF WaldIan
block peppering the passers-by who
notice them. One big, fat aunty got
into a regular battle with another
dark-ekinned female, which caused
much merriment, but now believed to
be drawn battle. Sleighs may look
for a good, HI OF time before the
return from charity ball in the morn
ing. Casting may break somebody's
neck going down Linden street from
Main to Christian church."
I'm view OF his recent personal ex-
perience in that line, the following re-
marks Of President Hadden in the
Police Court yesterday have some
weight: 'There is one thing that /
want to make a few remarks about,
and it entirely slipped my memory
until this moment. / notice In the
papers every few days articles about
matches being made for this slugging
business. think these people had
better stop that. II they want TO do
any fighting let them 20 over to Hope
field, West Memphis, the sandbar or,
In fact, any other place on the other
side OF the river. These slugging
matches amount to nothing more than
assault aEd battery. / think 1t is very
poor amusement, and it has got to
be stopped in this city,"
The last issue Of the BULLETIN, the
official organ Of the League of Am sri-
can Wheelmen, contains the following
under New York date Of January
Goth, and signed N. Malon Beckwith,
president Of the LEAGUE OF American
Wheelmen: "Upon the fecommen-
dalton Of q number OF the most prom
inent and active members OF the
League OF American Wheelmen In
Tennessee, whose sentiments were
voiced a. a called meeting Of said
members January 18th, take pleas
IRE in appointing rs chief consul
League OF American Wheelmen for
Tennessee, Mr.. w. i. Surprise Of
MemL his, whose term Of office shall
extend 10 the regular election in
March next" Ga account OF the in
clemenoy of the weather the Cycle
Club failed TO get quorum at its an
nual meeting held lstt night,
Some anxiety is felt in certain
quarters as TO the whereabouts Of q
Young man named Grow, who came 10
this city some months ago and at
tempted to establish himself as a bill
collector. He was turned out OF sew
eral boarding-houses for not paying
his bills, and finally wound up at a
well-known clearinghouse on Second
street, where he met o young LADY,.
and by gorgeous tales OF boundless
weamu 40 captured her yC"'nlul
affections. After paying her court
as long as his credit lasted he
told her that, as he had not seen his
for several years, he was going
TO pay them visit, but would return
in couple OF days. That was two
weeks ago, and he has not been heard
from. A small trunk (empty) was left
behind as a reminder, but Mr.. Grow
has disappeared as mysteriously as il
the earth had swallowed him up.
