THE OLD APPEAL"
What its Friends Think and Say Of It.

While we are aware that it is not exact
ly CONNIE IL Jdut for a newspaper, any
more than an individual, to sound its own
laudation4 and believing that the old saw
" self praise is half scandal" we still can
see no improperly in repeating now and
then some of the good things that others
too partial friends, perhaps-have sect
TIT to say about us, or the endorsements
thai u career and line of conduct have
won from urcontemporaries and patrons.
We have, therefore, collected from the
mass of notices elected by our appearance
in a new suit' a few of which we Justly
feel proud of, and this morning present
them to the friends of the sold" APPEAL:

pleased to see our old FREUD, the Memphis
APPEAL, come TO hand in a full new dress.
1t looked well before, but now it far ex-
ceeds its former luster. This is to be at
tOthe taste and skill of one of
its genial proprietors, Col. J. NJ. Heating,
who is every inch a newspaper man.
With the new garh comes in our old friend,
Capt. X. L. English, as one of the prOprie-
We are glad of this. Capt. Dick
conducted his department on the pr
per Commercial and River in an able
and efficient manner for several years
and we feel proud to record him
now as one of the proprietOrs of a journal
TO whose interest he has added so much. |

refrain from saying that it IS of the
best papers in h South. It's subscrip-
ion list is increasing rapidly, which
speaks strongly for its popularity. We
wish it and its wholesOuled proprietOrs,
