Very evidently, II we NAV deduoe
trustworthy conclusions even from Lon
o dispatches, the condition Of French
armies Is by no means a. deplorsble as The
public deemed it. The very destructive
ness Of battles has alarmed the Germans
along the railroads. France is not lost
yet.
The success Of advertising depends TO
q very great degree upon the skill of the
advertiser in presenting the subject in
such style and space as cannot fail 20 at
tract attention, which Is the first object to
be attained, but it depends In a much
greater degree upon the selection of the
best medium TO reach those whom it is
desired to influence. The APPEAL Is one
of the best mediums.
We acknowledge the receipt of cards
of invitstion to thesFifh AnnualFair Of
the Agricultural and Mechanical AssocIa-
ton Of Southern Kentucky and West
Tennessee, TO be held at Union City,
Obion county, from the 4th TO the 18th of
October inclusive. We have also received
a card to the Paducah and McCracken
County Agricultural Associations fair.
The card unfortunately does not mention
the time of holding the fair, or the place
where It is to be held.
An exchange says there is a cheap
mosquito bar IN vogue among the plants
tiOn hands and boatmen in some parts Of
the South, which answers every purpose
to the letter-it is common coal oil. A
small quantity of oil Is dropped upon a
piece of cotton, n then squeezed out as
dry as possible; after which the cotton IL
rubbed over the face and hands. No mos
quito will slight where the scent has
been LEFT. One of the editors of the AP-
PEAL has tried this, and then exposed
himself TO clouds of mosquitoes, without
experiencing the least annoyance.
"A friend, Mr.. W. 7. Richardson, writ
ing from Wellsville, Ark, under date of
18th inst, says: at has been raining
here for a month, hardly missing a day.
Entirely too much water has fallen, and
II this weather continues we shall make
but little cotton, and though our stand of
corn was as good as ever was grown in
this country, save no fodder. The wet
weather branches usually dry all sum-
mer, have not stopped running this sea-
son. With all this, however, the general
health of the community remains excel
lent, and / hear of but little or no sick
ness of a serious nature"
