CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH
OF JULY.
LOUISVILLE, Winston County,
July 18th, 1888.

SNtI y -ztti9 1000 }
At an early hour a large assemblage
had collected for the purpose of doing
honors to the natal day of their country's
Independence. The tramp of horses and
the rolling Of carriage wheels, told the
eagerness with which our citizens sought
the altar erected for the services of the
dav. The splendid Cavalry Company Of
this place, paraded our streets until eleven
o'clock, when a procession was formed
under the direction of Major B. H. Head,
Marshall of the day, and Robert C.
Thornton, Esq. assistant Marshall.
The whole assemblage then marched TO
the Academy, where the exercises of the
day were to be performed. The exer-
cises were commenced by prayer by the
Rev. James Martin.
/ Col. Rob't. B. Wells read the Decla-
ration Of Independence, which was re-
ceived with loud and continued applause.
Henry Gray, Esq. then arose, and il
his usual eloquent style. pronounced one
of the most thrilling and soul-stirring Ora

impossible for US to give even an out-llnt

hour, and his eloquent voice has cheered
them on to victory. It said that reyo-
lutions never go backwards. If this be
so, and of the truth of the assertion, there
can be little doubts the fate of Martin Van
Buren, is sealed. All the late elections, il
is believed, without an exception, have
resulted disastrously for the Administra-
ton. All the doubtful States have been
lost, and many in which Van Buren, was
formerly strong, have enlisted under the
Wing banner. In the very few States
which still remain faithful 10 his fallen for
tunes, his maiorities are greatly reduced,
and almost annihilated. From the North
and South, the East and the West, our
ears are constantly saluted. with the news
of Wing victories. On all sides, the voice
Of the people Is heard loudly proclaiming
the condemnation Of the tyrannical fac
ton who have so long ruled them with a
rod of iron. On what then, can the
friends Of Van Buren, base their hopes
On nothing, absolutely nothing bu: the
desperate attempt Of uniting the whole
South in his favor. And why we would
ask, should the South enlist under his ban.
ner? What sympathy, what bond Of un-
ion exists between them? 1t will scarce
ly be said that his course on the Missouri
question, or his opinion with regard to tue
power Of Congress over slavery in the
District Of Columbia, will gain him many
friends with the Southern people. Mr..
Calhoun has not the power Of transferring
the people OF the South to him. It is ex-
tremely doubtful whether Mr.. Calhoun s
influence with the Ways has ever been
very commanding in more than two Of
the Southern States. Mr.. Calhoun, it is
thought, will find quite employment enough
in his own State, If ne should be inclined
to take tilt with Preston and Hamilton.
If he should attempt to transfer even
South Carolina to Van Buren,, he viii

Jackson in Tennessee. No portion oil

PHLosoPuy OF ADyEaTIsING.--It may be
worth while to communicate to young
trajcsmen the ideas ofan old one on this
subjects, they are simply and plainly as
follows:
The first utility Of frequent and ocular
advertising consists in this: there is at ill
times a large class Of persons, both in the
country and town, who have not fixed pla-
ce5 for the purchase Of certain necessary
articles, and are ready to be swayCd and
drawn towards any particular place which
rs earnestly brought under their notice.
INDIFFERENT TO all, they yield without hes
iaiIon to the first who asks. Then, in the
country aconslderable number Of persons,

Pythcm, natural y opens a communication
|i'h that address, which, perhaps leads to
'nl'n s'terlor business. People in the
country are also liable to be favorably
impressed by frequent sight of rame
'nihe newspapers. The advertising par
~ acquires distinction in their eyes and
thus they are ead' in making choice to
prefer him. But by far the most impor-
'tant effect OF advertising is one of an indi-
rect nature, it CONVEYS the impression that
the party pretending or hot pretending,
