together, secured the license, and, turning
from the desk, faced Squire Michael T.
Garvin Instantly was he besought to per-
form the ceremony, and no less instantly
did he comply. Marching the couple into
the probate courtroom, the squire winked
at all the friends he passed, and soon there
was a large, respectable and fashionable
white audience. The officiating magistrate
mounted the bench, pulled from his pocket
the guide book always carried for such sud
den business, and read the ceremony like
thoroughbred. When that portion calling for
objection TO the bans or eternal silence after
wards was reached, the Squire stopped and
solemnly glanced about his audience. Sud

chairs in mad effort TO reach the magis-
trate's ears. II was that of Mr. Walsh, and
said: eyes, object, in view of the light

Business Is picking up wonderfully"
said a merchant. Cotton receipts are in
creasing daily, and in short time we will
have an immense stock on hand A crop of
over !, 600 900 bales is the general estimate at
present. larger crop than that OF last year.
Prices may be somewhat lower but no low
prices will be reached during the season.
The world demands much more American
cotton than can be raised. In few weeks
the money market will ease up, owing to
rcaliMtions on cotton, and money will be in
circulation among the retailers. The planters
will be enabled 10 come to town to make
their winter purchases in person, and an
easier business feeling will prevail in all
branches Of trade

course of beautiful women on the streets Of
Memphis" enthusiastically exclaimed Chief
OF Police Davis yesterday, as ho stood on q
prominent corner and watched the moving
throng of enchanting feminnity. 1t was

establishments get in mighty strong pull

me is that any young man, old bachelor or
widower can remain unmarried when all
these superb specimens OF womanhood are
in their midst. II had never met my wife,
and gone Il alone until now, I'd wear out
