Mr.. Paine's Address,

Following are a few excerpts from
the address, delivered by Mr.. Paine, of
Memphis:
l quite fully, agree with. our toast
master in the relation between this
place and Memphis. Memphis is the
capital of a vast empire of Mississippi
from which we derive a large part of
our trade. She is a capital both in a
business and a social nature. feel,

who were ~ship-wrecked and they we're

shore. They thought they were among
canibals and heather. They heard
voices. One says, ut is my deal

Said Pat to his friend, "Thank God,
we are among christians" I am in

part Of speakers to open their re-
marks with jokes to get the feel of
the audience. l was up North sew
eral years ago and while up there !
heard some new Jokes. I came back
full of them and oficiated at a ban

speaker. When he arose, he said,
Il was much surprised. In fact, l
recall n night Governor Patterson
was billed to make a political speach.
He asked me to the platform and to
lead in prayer. After the speaking,
he said, Governor Patterson, l was
surprised to be asked to lead in
prayer, but since your jokes I can see
the occasion therefor" My friend,
Mr.. Fitzhugh, made remarks on the
ladies being here. I congratulate you
on that. l am convinced that any
