Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-08-31
NEW PUBLICATIONS.

We have received the PREMIUM LTsT
for the Seventh Annual Fair of the Mem
phis Agricultural and Mechanical Soei-
ETY., to commence Monday, October 10,
1870, and continue six days. h schedule
of premiums mount to sl5, 900. The
private premiums alone, offered by mer-
chants, manufacturers, mechanics, butch
ers and farriers of the city OF Memphis,
amount to over 5000. The cotton factors
premiums on cotton amount to 1915, TO
be distributed among the planters of the
States of Arkansas, Mississippi and
Alabama-S100 for the best
bale; $500 for the best two bales;
$500 for the bsst live bales from
! each of these States; and the society adds
q solid silver pitcher, worth $3.50, for the
best bale from either of these States, and
a grand gold medal for the best long
staple bale. These premiums are most
judiciously distributed, as the cotton from
the different States cannot properly come
into competition with that from the
others. The cotton factors Of the city de-
serve the highest honor for their iberslity
and public spirit in thus giving such
splendid premiums for competition
among planters, and encouraging the pro-
duction of the best staple in b States
which constitute these customers. But
wi would not give undue prominence to
to this branch of the Premium List OF
the Memphis Agricultural and Mechanic
al Society, where it is 50 complete aud
thorough in all its departments. The
premiums offered on live hogs, fat cattle,
fast trotting and pacing horses, n sew
ing machine work ars worthy the atten-
ton of all who are able TO compete in
these classes. The Society's premiums,
in all departments, agricultural, hortieul-
tursl, floral, textile, artistic and manu-
featuring, leave little room for additionor
amendment. The manufacturing and
mechanical division has been placed by
the Agricultural and Mechanical Society
in charge of the Mechanics Institute,
under whose liberal and sagacious super
vision a premium list in this division a
been gotten up, which has never been ok
celled by any Agricultural Association on
this continent, that we are aware OF, and
which it would be difficult to excel, iaas-
much as the enumeration OF articles
seems to be complete in detail and COM
pFehensivs in aggregate. The officers ofthe
Mechanics Institute will have charge
! of this division at the Fair, and, under
their auspices, we anticipate the highest
and most complete success. We cannot
but congratulate the Premium Commit
tee of the Agricultural and Mechanical
Society upon having also executed their
work in the most satisfactory manner.
The arrangement of their premiums and
their character will attract the most &C

we must conclude by invoking our bust
ness men and planters in surrounding
/ States TO back up this noble effort OF our
/ Agricultural and Mechanical Society to
make their second fair equal to any in
the United States
In this column it is proper to remind
our rsa7ers that to understand the war
to thoroughly understand its causes and
consequenees-the monthly magazines
and illustrated weeklies are as indispsns-
able as the great daily papers, whose cor
/ respondents are found with every division
of the French and Prussian armies. Mr..
Joe Locke, the great Eewsman OF Main
street, near Jefferson street, who IS to
Memphis what Brentano is to New York,
understands this, and hence has always
on hand a supply of all the irst-elass peri
odicals, home and foreign, that treat of
the great war incidentally or specially.
He axe Europe as we'll as America for
books, papers and magazines, and links
his mann inseparsbly with the literature
Of the times. Joe is a man of the times,
who is with the times, ald equal to the
times. We commend him heartily TO the
public.
