Political Outlook.

From an Appeal Correspondent
WINoNA, June 24-Remembering that
this Is a gala day in Memphis, which her
hospltable and enterprlsing indwelers know
so well how to lnaugurate and enjoy, | be-
thought me that few words once again
from this section of Mississippi, where the
APPEAL is so earnestly read and heartily es-
teemed, might not, perhaps, prove unworthy
place In Its columns. The heated term is
upon US In full practical force, and the
suns rays make the air simmer and revel
amid the nineties. The planters, and, there
fore, the best interests of the community, have
profted by the hot, genial spell, as the ex-
tended and well-cultIvated acreage of cotton
and corn happily show; but they now look
forward with a hopeful desire of early and
plentiful showers, which are necessary to
their well-applied toll, and If such rainfall
come propitlously, then an abundant harvest
time Is cheerily feretold. Looking from
commercial standpoint, Winona is compare
lively dull, yet the hum and hustle of we'll
applied trade bespeak her wonted well-being,
and evidence prosperity, il not of an over
flowing, still of prcsperlng character. Her
citizens, ever alive to the interests that have
for their intent and purpose the perpetuation
of Mlssisslppi's good name IN every phase OF
healthful makeup, improvised on yester-
United States senator, Hon. l.. y. Z. Lamar,
who passed hither en- route to Brookhaven, to
deliver there a literary address. Winona,
arrayed in the full strength of steady and
gallant manhood, massed on the platform Of
the railroad depot, and awaited impatlently
the arrival of the train bearing the scholarly
and gallant Lamar, and when the shrili
tones of the engines whistle thrilled along
the track. our well-appolnted and proficient
cornet band struck up diapason of a rap
| turous welcome; the train at the depot, he
whom they thus delighted to honor, stepped
! on the platform and was greeted in the name
OF the enthusiastic crowd in words gracefully
| and APPLY spoken 10y Captain j. N. Ellis, to
| which the senator responded IN tones and
| terms of Lsmar-hke elcquence. Altogether
/ it was joyous and profitable occasion, and
| its memories will serve 10 add another link to
| the golden chain which rivets the past to the
present, and renders the outlook through the
| vast corridors of the future radiant with
prospective happiness. Winona continues to
| hold her own in every material prosperity,
| and several cubits have been lately added to
| her moral stature through the merits of a
protracted meeting at the Baptist church,
| where the much esteemed, able and Jealous
1 pastor Rev. Mr.. Cohran who was assisted 0y
! an eloquent associate, Rev. MIR. Percer. The
meeting was profitable one, as many seals
| were set to the ministry of these faithful la
borers in the neral vineyard. The members
| of the Christian church have been much graf
| fled and edited by a visit of Elder Stanley,
| who ministered to them with much accepta-
| bility. Elder Stanley is young in the minis
| try, but able and eloquent on the exposition
of scriptural truths, and future plentiful in
| earthly honors to him, and of much fruitage
to his people surely opens up before him
| Politically, we are presently somewhat astir,
| by reason of the fact that the candidates for
| the various offices to be filed in November
| proximo, are in the field; their name ia null
| titude, each one striving with an honest yea
| to secure his election. DELTA.
