An interesting H9uTe vi the
streets of Memphis to-day is we'll
preserved man of scant statue and
we'll along in years, wearing red
badge with the lettering General
Forest Division" He is Nicely
Harris, who in Confederate war
times bore a noble and heroic part
in the bloody strife. He was born
of good family up in Hardeman
county, and going into the army
early, found himself under the com
mand of Gen. Bedford Forest, by
whom he was held in high estima-
ton. lie was more energetic and
capable than the average soldier,
and was made a scout under Gen.
Forest, and any one who knows of
the campaigns of the General will
understand that to be a scout in
such a command called for the
highest qualities of the soldier.
Nicely Harris now lives in Arkan
sas. He is in Tennessee to revisit
the scenes of his CHILDHOOD, and dur
ing the day he has met numerous
Memphis people whom he knew
long ago up in Hardeman county.

The Memphis Scilnitar of Sat
urday contained the following
notice of a young lady who was
born and reared in Bolivar. Miss
Miller's many friends here predict
for her a brilliant future and will
watch her course with great in
terest: Next Monday night Miss
Miller will leave for New York,
where she goes to study during the
winter with Sergents, of the Empire
Dramatic School, preparatory to
going on the stage next winter.
Miss Miller is the daughter of
Mr.. Austin Miller, of this city.
She is one of the most charming
young society women In this city
and is most popular here. From
her earliest recollection she has
desired to 90 on the stage, and all
of her education has been to devel-
OPP her talent in that line. Miss
Miller is very enthusiastic over her
new work, and chafes at the druid
gerry of a year of study before she
enters upon actuality of stage life.
She inspires one with the belief
that it will not be many months
until Memphis will have reason to
he proud of her fair representative
i'm the dramatic world. Her pro-
gress will be followed with great
interest by many friends here.
Her marked success as Juliet in the
performance of "ROmeo and Juliet
A. the Lyceum last evening showed
to her friends her great talent and
ability"

There is a boat house lying at a land
