From the Chicago Legal Advertiser
G.. Stuart Beattie returned TO the city on
Friday last, after a weeks absence upon
professional business at Memphis, Tenn.
Mr.. Beattie says OF Memphis: at has no
boom, there are found everywhere in the
city evidences OF the strong steady tide Of
business prosperity, which is rapidly rnis-
ing IL 10 the front rank Of southern cities.
The building trades are especially active,
and the structures lately erected and in
process Of erection by private capital for
business purposes, are not only numerous
but in every instance are crcditto the
city. The bar OF Memphis is well known
as one OF the strongest in the south, and
the United States supreme court reports
are fruitful with leading eases in which its
members have participated. ! was opposed
in court by Mr. &. W. Frazer and Mr. l.. W.
Ilumes, and had associated with Messrs.
Miller and Gillian; and We had the good
fortune 10 have our case heard 10y the we'll.
known u. NJ. Estes, presiding chancellor,
who has been 80 strongly urged OF late for
the Federal supreme bench. Judge Estes
had been the recognized leader Of the
West Tennessee bar for many years, until,
in obedience 10 the unanimous call OF the
Memphis lawyers, lac accepted the Office OF
chancellor, made vacant by the death ol
Judge Elicit, whom, il willIbe remembered,
died Just after delivering the welcoming
address TO President Cleveland In October
last. II Mr. Cleveland wishes 10 appoint
a snowy man 10 succeed the late Justice
Woods, he will hardly suggest Judg,

able lawyer and careful examiner 81

This reminds ono Of the remark of Nine
