Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-06-12

Occasional Correspondence of the Appeal
WINoNA, Miss, June g. While pc
rusing with a full measure of my wonted
qualification the columns of Saturday AP-
PEAL, l bethought M that few words, how
ever hastily noted down, touching things
hereabouts, where the APPEAL is eagerly
read, and thoroughly appreciated by many
other readers than myself, might neither be
ill-timed nor Incorporated. Rain-too
much rain by far, has been the greeting OF
neighbor to nelghbor during the past and
present week; and though it has fallen too
frequently and heavily for the interests of the
planters, the sunshine that has commenced
to CLINT from behind the retiring clouds
brings a fresh hope to the hearts of these
rejoice in the prospect of an ample reward
for the labor SO lndustriously put in. At no
similar period of the season, for many years,
have the different crops promised more
cheering prospect of healthy yield, fact
that tends to render the future bright to all
classes and conditions. Apropos of the deep
interest taken in the welfare of the APPEAL,
it were perhaps in a proper line of thought
to make mention that its course in regard to
THE INVESTIGATION

care and guidance of Representative Potter,
and bis able and fearless Democratic col

this intelligent community; and the wish Is
that as in yore, the future course of the AP-
PEAL will be to pursue the even tenor of its
able and patriotic way, and in its present
warfare against villainy and hypocrisy-the
twin parent of fraud-lt will not grow weary
in well doing, nor abate jot of its zeal for
right in the present instance until it can re-
jolce in common with the popular heart that
the damned spot" has been erased from the

listlessly on the ears of the Democratic shep-
herds, and Mexlcanizing will never become
a Key note to. frghten them from their pro-
priety.
POLITICALLY
we remain quiet and serene as a summer
eve; there is, to be sure, some interchange of
"talk" in regard to the district convention
which will nominate a representative to the
forty-sixth congress. This convention will,
in all probability, meet in Koscusko, and
though there may be an aspirant or two
plenty able, and anxious enough to be sent
to Washington, 1t is conceded on every hand
that our present very able and eminently USE
full representative,
HON. II. D. MONEY,
will be his own successor. The aphorism,
''let we'll enough alone" has found a firm
Judgment in the minds and hearts of the
voters in the third district, and it is a whole
some Judgment truly. In a former letter l
took occasion to speak at some length of the
very able and safe management of
THE NEW ORLEANS, ST. LOUIS AND CHICAGO
RAILROAD,
and l but revert to the subject to say that the
present schedule puts your subscribers here
in possession of the APPEAL at nine o'clock
on the evening of publication day, which is
some ten hours ahead of the New Orleans
Times of the same date, that paper not being
received till the morning following Its publi-
cation. | am glad to know that you are add
ing new names to your subscription book from
this place.
wINONA,
though fully entered upon the dull CONNER
cial season, continues to thrive apace. An
effort is being strenuJusly applied to the end
that the State agricultural and mechanical
college may be located here. A healthier
spot exists nowhere within the borders of
and the hope is that this fact, to.
gether with its centrality and accessibility,
will induce the trustees to make Wlnona their
choice. Workmen are busy in making the
old house of Messrs w. H. and P. d. Witty
more notable than ever, by reason of the i'm
provements in progress. In addition to the
extensions necessary for the convenience of
their business. we are to have a room forty
by seventy set off and furnished In modern
style for the purpose of city hall, which
will prove a great desideratun to Winona
When the building, which is of brick, is fin
lshed, it will, on account of its ample dimen-
sions and ornament, add many a cubit to the
stature of Winona.
