THE MEMPHIS APPEAL
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER "a, iea,
IN IMPORTANr OPINION

The interview which we print this
morning with Mr.. William VI. Snccd will
be widely read, 1t deals with the qucs-
ton Of the legality Of further issue Of
bonds by the city, and Is the most
important reinforcement that has vet
been brought TO the position Of those
who contend that the city can and should
issue bonds ior street improvements. MIR.
Snced goes into the history OF past prom.
iscs and Legislation aud sheds light upon
hitherto doubtful points. lie is spec
cially qualified TO speak for tho rca-
son that ns an attorney for tho
bondholdcrs hc took prominent part
in the adjustment Of the old city
dobL lie il positive that there is no rca.
son, moral or legal, why the city may
not issue the bonds. Unless his opinions
can bc successfully controycrlgd, the only
question before tho people now is
whether Or not they care % incur
the expense. lie simpliGcs the mat
very greatly, and opens up an alluring
opportunity. We therefore commend his
statements To all who are giving thought
to this mos, important subject II his
view be correct, It Is simply a matter Of
tho popular deposition. TtE ArrEAL
would now like to hear from Mr.. W. NJ.
Harrington on the subject. Nobody wants
TO violate any moral or legal obligation.
The holders Of the Flippin bonds should
mako themselves heard.

To the Editor Of The Appear
SRI beg heartily to indorse the plan Of
paving recommended by Maj Fleece in
this mornings APPEAL. 1t is much the
most sensible and practicable suggestion
that has yet appeared in your columns.
Judge Hammond says very truly that,
owing TO the number OF negroes comprised
in our population, the comparative poverty
Of most OF our white citizens, and the
great par,iality for "elbOw room" evinced
by our house-buildsrs, II would be impol-
tic in the extreme 10 attempt an imita-
ton OF Chicago payemcnts, which could
only result ~ before, in crushing the city
under load OF debt greater than II can
bear, while the present plan ot planting
stone blocks in the mud without any
foundation, a. is the practice on Main
street, n simple throwing away OF money
and makes h pavement which. after few
months, is only one degree better than no
pavement nj III.
Lcta few Of the bcNsiIee,s bopavcl with
stone or cedar blocks on whatever iounda.
! ton has been proved best by the large cities
Of the North, and pave the remainder of
the city with gravel, as suggested by Mai
Fleece, rounding or the roadway - as 10
shed water easily, and we shall have
streets dry and passable at all seasons Of
the year ut very moderate expense and
requiring very lutte and inexpensive ~
pairing.
Tho unbclicvercnn prove the dcsirabiity
Of gravel roads when well constructed by
making an excursion, on the next wet day,

Brick Church, Chelsea, where hc will lind

than most OF the Sidewalks on the smaller
streets Ia town, and capable oi resisting

For some time we have been ex-
tending invitations to our friends in
the country to send us the news,
and our efforts in this direction has
not been altogether fruitless. Items
OF information are constantly occur
ing in every community, and it but
remains for some energetic person
to note them down and forward
them to their local paper. Not only
does such news interest the reader,
but it helps the writer, in many in
stances, to train for regular news
paper work. The writer's first at
tempt at such work may seem dis
couraging, from the fact that he may
not be able to make his or her letters
readable. But this trouble is soon
overcome, and then the real enjoy
ment comes to the correspondent.
We earnestly hope that our friends
in every village and hamlet, within
a wide radius of Newark, will at
once set to work and send to THE
LEDGER local items, as they appear
from week to week. Such a service
will be gratefully acknowledged.

where it is prepared, there is more of
Hoods sarsaparilla sold than ofall other
medicines, and it has given the best of
satisfaction since its introduction ten
years ago. This could not be if. the med

fer from impure blood, try Hoods sar-

DURING this year, sometime, we
feel that Newark will take loom
and business will warrant many
more stores, and the population in
creased several thousand. THE
LEDGER is anxious tn see all these
things come to pass. IL is our it,
tention, with a little help from our
friends-now don't all rush in at
once,-to build an Office. We find
that our machinery, which is heavy,
should be on ground floor. What
we want is II suitable building. In
trying to build Newark up we want
to build, also This is II serious
matter with us, and those who
would like to see us have building
of our own, can give us II word of
encouragement. In the year just
passed, no great calamity has be-
fallen the town. Business was dull
for a time, but good now as ever,
and we expect greater things before
1889.

The STRIKE of employees of the
Reading Railroad still continues, OF
is still unsettled. Some of the men
would gladly go to work, but they
are not allowed. Strikes are calami-
ties greatly to be regretted. They
generally work injury to the work
ing-man and bring suffering to their
families. Labor unions are, no
doubt, great institutions and can do
much good, and they can work as
much evil. The workingman should
have what is his, by all means. He
is allowed to set his wages and work
hours. No man, net a union man,
is allowed to work where union men
are employed. Now the strike of
the Reading employees is foolish in
the extreme, to us. 1t is under
stood on what pretext the strike
was organized. The strikers saw
the error, and a number went back.
The rest held out and ordered all to
strike. Now the strike continues
because some of the strikers will not
be taken back. Should they be
taken into the employ of the road,
when they refused to carry on the
business of the said road? Proba-
bly, we don't see these matters as
others, but we think we are right in
stating that the workingmen have
made a grave mistake.

We mark 1887 with a star
in the history Of our business.
The bright and good old year
fades out, but not so its exper-
fences and encouragements.
Ten thousand thanks to
those who helped to crowd the
year with gratifying incident.
Accept our most hearty good
wishes and cordial congratula-
tons.
The impetus given by the
great current of events dash
ing through last year carries
us forward to attempt larger
things for the new year.
1888 shall be indeed a leap
year ; better service and use
fulness in every direction.
In this lightning age we can
not rest on past achievement
or crawl laggard-like along.
Not even for one day shall
the store go into winter quar-
tiers after its busy season, but
with tomorrow, the first full
business day of the new year,
we shall open the new cam
paign.
Circumstances combine to
help us do some fine things for
our friends from the beginning
of the new year.
We haven't more than a sin
gle sentence to say about great
sales. We are making them
every day. That's what the
store is for. We always have
lots of goods that are marked
down.
A daily drum.beat calls up
all the old soldiers of goods
and gives them a double.quick
step toward the door.
So, then, note the fact that,
no matter what the reason,
there can always be found here
lots and lots Of good things as
cheap, and often cheaper, than
elsewhere reduced from day
to day because they must be
closed out.
We cannot wait for a certain
month to sell down, but con
tinually watch, like the lookout
on the ship. We seek the
open channel Of quickest pro-
gress and steer clear of all that
stops our way.
Now, then, let us strike the
keynote of the new year.
With might and main we grasp
the ropes and, as we haul, ring
out loud and long
"lhe newest goods
The freshest goods
The choicest goods
The very best of very best
We crowd our shelves to
open the new things.
Your money shall take fresh
goods at no greater cost than
otherwise go into old,
hammered-down stock.
Thus we hope to brighten
our store, increase the activity
of our ste OK, and greater our
trade.
This is our way Of starting
the new year. Ifyou like it
when you see what we are do
ing say SO to your friends.

IT sometimes occurs to our mind
that many men allow themselves to
be drawn into the treating" habit,
and by so doing, not only spend
much money, but consume more
liquids than is good for them. Were
the treating habit abandoned, a
better state of affairs would exist.
This we think al admit, no matter
if they be jolly good fellows. The
matter at least is worthy of consider
alton.
