The July Rainfall.

The unusually heavy fall Of rain for
July is exciting comment throughout the
territory. In this portion of the Yellow
stone valley the precipitation has certainly
been heavier in July than in any month
in 1884, and against the usual experience
that this is one of the dry months Of the
year, the rainy season almost invariably
ending in June. The Helena papers have
been reporting wet weather or very heavy
storms almost every day of the month.
The records of the Signal Office at the
post of Fort Assinsboine show rainfall
in July, up to and including the Goth, of
5.83 inches. The amounts for the
corresponding periods of 1881, 1882,
and 1888, having been 1.81, 100,
and O.24 inches. respectively
One exchange puts the question, ''ls our
climate changing?' We judge not. The
Rocky mountain region of Montana has
a rainy season which usually comes in
Nav and June. These two months wer
very drv in the Yellowstone valley--so
dry as to make the grass crop seriously
short. The precipitation for July has
not brought the rainfall up to the average
for the rainy season of Montana. A Ger
tain amount of rain falls in the year IN
this region. Unexplained meteorological al
conditions have delayed the usually heavy
fall of tn, spring and early summer till
the month of July in 1884. Not only is
this delay or prolongation of the wet sea-
son noticeable in Montana, but we learn
from visitors to the Pacific coast that the
neriod when residents there confidently
expected almost perpetual sunshine, wa'
marred by constant clouds and rains
Though the advent of railroads, the in
crease of population and more genera
ultivation of the ground may have 1T
usual effect in new country of slightly
increasing the moisture precipitated, tin
effect is not yet sufficiently apparent II
Montana to point out change in our Gil
mate. Next year we are likely to have
our normal weather.

DSO FENCE LAW.
LaF.yslis CsunlT.

Correspondent ofthe Appeal.
Oxford, February i1.-SeveraI
days ago the citizens Of beat 4
met at Taylor Depot, in this eotrn-
ty, and petitioned the Board Of
Supervisors for the no fence law
In their beat. This is a step in the
right direction. AT last the peo.
pie Of Mississippi are beginning TO
see the folly and extravaganza
that they have praetieed for the
past twenty years in keeping up
the enormous amount of unneces-
sary fencing. A State official.
after a long and careful calculation
on the mileage Of legal fencing in
his county, gave as result that,
IL the fencing was pnt on a straight
line, II would reach from the coun.
~ seat to New York City. Ii is
useless and foolish extravaganza.
Money thus expended would 90 a
long way toward draining lands,
cutting bitches and buying fertili.
zers. How can We cut bitches
and keep them In order when 1t
requires three months In the year
to build and repair fencesi II is
cheaper to fence up live stock
than to fence them out. Every
mans stock should be kept on his
own premises. That is undoubt-
edIy the place for them. No coun-
try that ever adopted the no-fence
law has ever wanted 1t repealed.
The experience Of those who have
tried the system has been satisfac-
tory. There Is absolutely no econ.
omy In keeping up a $50 fence
around a $l0 crop to keep out 81
worth of live stock. We hope the
day 10 not Ear distant when every
beat In every county in our State
will send up a petition, as did our
friends at Taylor's. Let us get
out Of some Of our old rats. Let
us have fewer but better stock,
and a little ..surplus cash at the
end Of each year to fertllixe oul
lands and to buy improved imple'
ments.

The owners Of the famous and
justly popular Issaquena have
characterized themselves as ex-
eellent steamboat managers they
have always shown a proper ap.
probation of printers ink. and are
noted for liberal and judicious
advertising.
The latest phase of the Issaquen-
mas advertising propensity will be
the issuance Of $4,000 letter-size
circulars. On on one side il q
complete directory Of the business
houses and firms of Vieksburg-
comprising 1855 names and houses.
On the other side is q circular,
giving q history Of the Bends trade
and fair statement of the sue
cess Of the Issaquena, and the rea-
soma which have contributed
thereto. A blank is at the bot.
tom Of this page, for the signature
of the person or firm sending out
the circular. One hundred copies
Of the directory and circular will
be furnished to every merchant
aud business man in the city.
The balance Of the circulars will
be distributed by the Issaquena.
In addition to the name and busi-
ness in the directory at the head
Of the circular on each hundred
will be printed the special bust.
ness card Of the firm or house to
which they are furnished. The
Issaquena bears the entire ex-
pense of thus spreading q knowl-
edge of the business Of vicks-
burg, and only asks In return that
the merchants and others to whom
the circulars are sent, sign them
aud enclose them to their cores
pondents In the section of coum'
try which is in the habit Of giving,
or likely to give, any business to
steamer regularly plying In the
vicksburg aud GrsenvilIe trade
Circulars sent to jackson, Match
ez, Greenville, Monroe, Deer
Greek, and Lake Washington will
prove beneficial.
! The Issaquena will also have the
vicksburg directory printed on
the back Of her regular letter
heads, and II may be safely esti
mated that this directory will
thus reach a circulation during the
season Of 100000 copies.
The moral to this story, II there
be q moral, is that the merchants
and business men of vicksburg
