lature Of Tennessee made drastic laws
forbidding the sale OF intoxcants on sun
day, and provided forbn severe penalty
for the violation of tho same. The ef-
fort TO enforce these laws in Memphis
has proven successful, for one day, at
least. The Commercial Appeal informs
us that on last Sunday Memphis was dry
as powder horn. All the saloons were
closed, and even at the restaurants and
hotels the diner could not have his bottle
or beer or vino with Ills dinner. The
Bluff city never before experienced a dry
Sunday except possibly during yellow
fever epidemic, when the community was
under military law
