The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-05-25


Mason and Stanton, at both Of which
places signs OF improvement were noted,
your representative stopped at Browns
Vile.
The Democrats Of Haywood, among
other reasons perhaps, from the fact that
they have such an unending struggle with
the Republican party, are enthusiastic and
jealous. They are OF the true blues, and
rs natural consequence stanch friends
and constant readers OF the "Od Relia-
BILE" ArrEAL. Your reporter was frequent
ly congratulated on the progressive spiri
and enterprise OF the paper.
The prospect for the cotton crop, on ac-
count Of "wetless" spring, is not natter-
ing. On many farms the plant is not up,
and when up the stand Is poor. How
ever, with good rain and hot sunshine,
the condition Of the crops will be material
ly changed for the better.
One Of the leading industries OF Browns
vile II the fruit business Large quentl.
hes OF small fruits are now being shipped
20 Memphis and other points, and mum
bers of wagon loads OF Stats for making
boxes for the shipment OF peaches and
plums were noticed on the streets today.
Among the largest growers and shippers
of peaches are Dorsey D. and 5. Thomas
and Seth DOYLE. This is an enterprise
lust being developed in Haywood, but the
gentlemen mentioned and others in the
vicinity Of Brownsville are already reaping
rich rewards for their pluck and labor.
Brownsville has some twelve or more
churches, including Jewish synagogue;
banks colleges and private schools. The
Baptist female college Is in a flourishing
condition, and thcapproachingc
men, exercises in June promise 10 be en-
;.riaining and creditable.
The lamp posts, which for number OF
recent wears stood darkly and usclessly,
save, perhaps ~ props for some weary"
~anderer, are again lighted with gas.
sse city has Just about closed a contract
with an eastern company for the erection
OF waterworks and work will begin at an
early day.
A cannery for canning peaches, plums
and vegetables, will be in operation in
time TO utilize the present crop OF fruit.
As the yield Of peaches, apples, plums,
etc, promises 10 exceed that Of anything
in the past, this will doubtless prove sue
cess.
John w. s. Jarrett, who is breeder OF
high grade Jerseys, Cotswold sheep, Poland
China hogs and fancy poultry, also vice.

Pet Stock association, has on hand a
scheme 10 consolidate with the North Mis-
