Who pays for the newspapers?
We have had occasion recently to examine
the discount book Of the National Exchange
Bank and we can fully corroborate our
statement. Two-thtrds of the paper discount
ed during the previous twelve months had been
for the benefit of the planters, farmers
mechanics, and manufacturers of Virginia.
During the past year it discounted OF business
paper only, and exclusive of call loans and
sterling bills, no less than S2,455 900; and
in addition to this, when first established,
discounted for planters at three and four
months to the amount of $4,000, to enable
them to buy the horses and mules the Gov
eminent was then selling in this city Rich

1t is made on the hest principle. Its frame
is composed of Solid Plates. No jar can in
terfsre with the harmony of its working and
no sudden shock can damage its machinery
Every piece is made and finished by
machinery (itself famous for its novelty. as
well as for its effect veness.) and is therefore
properly rade. The watch is what all me
chanism should be-Accurate. Simple. Strong
and economical. Except some high grades.
too costly for general use. foreign watches
are chiefly made by women and boys. Such
watches are composed of several hundred
pieces, screwed and riveted together. and re-
| quire constant repairs 10 keep them in any
kind of order. All persons who have carried

| How well we have accomplished this NAV
| be understood from the ct. that after 50 ma
ny years of public trial. we new make more
/ than half of all the Watches sold in the Uni
ted States. and that no others have ever given
such universal satisfaction. While this de

our watches for less money than foreign
