Important to Business
Men.
consistency

The following from the Pitts,
burg Gazette, sketch of bust
ness house in that city, admirably
illustrates our views:
SIN a brief interview with one
of our most liberal patrons, a few
days since, we inquired his expe-
rience in the policy of advertising.
We regard his answer as notewor-
thy, and commend it to the con-
sideration of others. He said the
same kind of business in which he
is engaged had been carried on at
the same stand for ten years by
one, and nearly ten by another
predecessor. That these men gave
diligent attention to their business,
were sober and frugal, but spent
nothing for advertising. They
were just barely able to exc out
living. That he bought out the
concern ten years ago, and became
debtor for the whole establishment.
He felt poor, and only expended fiji
ty dollars perannumin each OF the
business papers the frstyear; that
subsequently he increased his ex-
penses to several thousand dollars
annually for advertising, and the
result has demonstrated its mar
velous utility, and he is to-day
worth $4,000, aud his annual
profits are constantly increasing.

More Blood.

The "blood hounds of Zion"
are again on the "war path, says
the Virginia Union. The New
York Conference Of the Methodist
Protestant church, recently in ses-
sion, have settled the law and Cos
pei, after mature and prayerful
consideration OF the subject, and
have calmly and piously come to
the Christian conclusion that blood
enough has not been shed; and that
their God commands them, with
tomahawk and butcher-knife, to
pitch in, and slaughter and scalp
all subjugated and defenceless reb-
els:
RESOLVED, That inasmdch as
treason is declared to be the great
est crime known to civil govern
ments-and as upon the leaders of
the rebellion rests the blood of a
million human beings-it is our
calm and settled conviction, unin-
fluenced by passion, party strife, or
sectional prejudice, that expedien-
cy, constitutional law, justice and
the Bible, all unite in demanding
that at least some Of the principal
leaders of this rebellion be pun
ished with death.
These ''holy thieves" evidently
want to organize another Sanitary
Commission, by which to replen-
ish their empty pockets. BY all
means 60 on. Kick up another
war, in order that these followers of
the meek and lowly Jesus and of
the Prince of Peace may have a
chance to show their piety and
consistency.

Letter from Nashville.

For tie Fayetteville Observer.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 10, 1885,
Mr.. ~ o. Wallace,-Aceording
to promise, now write you. The
city presents rather dull and
monotonous life when compared
with other days. Business, how
ever, among the merchants as
sumes an appearance of thrift
ness, while politics and political
.jobbers are ebbing very fast. The
Grads" and the Legislature are all
one and the same thing in Nash
vile, for when there is no Legis-
lature we have no Grads" among
us. Both branches of that august
and honorableC body have now
a quorum, and will proceed imme-
diately to "kick up DUST" and
do all manner of devilment. Ne
gro will be much discussed among
the members, but East Tennessee
almost to a man is against the en-
reimbursement of Cuffee.
John Il. Moore, who, you know,
was elected as our Floater, has not
got his seat yet, nor will he get it,
according to my opinion. And
why, you may ask? Well, as we
are good old friends, and knowing
that you will do to site to-" | will
tell you all about il. When the
Legislature met and the House or.
ganized, the credentials of all the
newly-elected members were re.
ferred to a Committee on Elec'
tons. When that Committee
came to the case of Moore, Null
Inns, the watchdog upon the tow
ers of the State, and the guardian
vulture of the sacred rights of
sweet 'radicalism, appeared with a
letter written by one William
Yates, of Fayetteville, charging
Moore as having been a ''secesh, .
and an alder in the rebellion, and
also that the election was not le-
gally held at Fayetteville. He
charged our Sheriff with wilful
and malignant derelietion of duty
and completely in the defeat of
Smith, the honeysuckle of Lin
coin county radicalism. He wrote
the letter to Thos. Kercheval, who
gave it to Mullins, and now | give
the important part of it to the
world.
Can any man, living or dead,
tell what Bill Yates designed by
writing such a letter. Is he inte-
rested in the election? Who is
Bill Yates? Tell us something
about him-won't you?
Good bye, VoX.

A mechanic named Emory, at
Albany, N. Y, has invented a
new cotton gin, whose merits are
that it is portable. 1t is provided
with a condenser, and can be
worked as well in open air as in a
house. A large per cent. of wool
is obtained from the seed, and the
length of the fabric wonderfully
preserved. The value OF the sta
pie to the manufacturer is en-
HANGED from three to five cents

better than a farce of the broadcast
character. "They see that citi-
zens quite as loyal and trustwor-
thy as themselves are DISTINGUISHED
under pretense that they had at
some time INDUCED sympathy with
the Rebels" and "they begin to
understand that such gross viola
tions of the right of suffrage will
lead to dangerous consequences"
and they are protesting, and will
continue to protest, against such a
course. Herein is an explanation
as to how the Conservatives have
made so strong poll under strin-
gent Acknowledgement law and
the disappearance of poll books.
The vote of Davidson county will
attest the truth of this assertion,
and that of a number of other coun-
ties in Middle and West Tennes-
see will do the same. We shall
not be surprised to find it SO in
East Tennessee, and it will be so
there after awhile if all the liberal
men Of that section of the State
do not seek homes elsewhere
The brave and enlightened sol
diers who fought for the Union
will not always demand the hui
initiation of those they acknowl-
edge to have been as brave as
themselves

A RADICAL VIoToRY.-There

sixty-four year old white man, to
Miss Amanda Jaeger, an eighteen

This is another Radical victory

Mr.. Yates's Statement.

Iwrote a letter to Mr.. Thos. A.
Kercheval, that our Sheriff re-
fused to report the vote of Camar-
go and Agnew's, on account of
not being returned the next day,
but was returned Monday after
the election. But as to charging
our Sheriff of wilful and malig-
nant dereliction of duty and COM
plicity-such charge is not in
said letter, and the letter can be
found in said Kerchevals hands !;
also, it can be proved by two good
and substantial men, that | only
wrote to Kercheval our Sheriff re-
fused to report the Camargo and
Agnew vote upon the grounds the
returns was not made the next
day after the election, but the
Monday following. Our Sheriff s
reasons for not reporting said votes
was that they was not returned i'll
the time prescribed by law.

Proved to be a Traitor.

John A, Logan, who is among
the blood-and-lire Radicals, one
of the most ultra, is found to
have encouraged some of his
neighbors to become Confederate

have already proved him to be a IL

proof to corroborate the charge,

of the basest hypocrites and trait

PUzzLED.-The Comptroller of
Georgia is somewhat puzzled to
know how to collect the taxes from
negroes. They refuse to pay,
change their names, residences,
and float about over the State to
avoid the tax-gatherer, and gen.
orally when they are picked up
there is no money. So the collect
ors do not know what to do as the
law provides no remedy.

The Mobile courts have decided
that when a man steals cotton its
value must be reckoned in specie,
to decide whether it be grand lar
ceny and a felony, or only a mis-
demeanor. A man had stolen five
hundred and nineteen pounds of
cotton, which was worth one hun
dred and twenty-five dollars in
greenback, twenty-five dollars
more than grand larceny theft, but
only eighty-thTee in specie, SO that
the thief is only guilty of a mis-
demeanor. and gets off by paying
$500 fine instead of going to the
penitentiary.

Prices Tunbling.

From the Cincinnati Gazette. Nov. 18th.1
From every quarter we have adj
vices Of declining markets, for al
most every article of produce
All speculative feeling is, for the
time, suspended, and operators act
as if the markets were believed to
be bottomless. In New York,
yesterday, beef cattle sold at about
what they cost in Kentucky, and
hogs brought less than they were
bought for in Chicago or Cincinnati.
Mess pork, which, two weeks ago,
sold as high as $35, is down to
$24 10; lard has fallen from 22c
to lac for prime; flour, wheat,
corn, rye, oats, ETC., have been
falling steadily, though still COM
paratively high. Dry goods are
also declining, as are also groceries;
and finally, fancy railroad stocks,
which were going up rapidly a few
days ago, are tumbling.
This news from New York has
it's effect, OF course, throughout the
West, and the great leveling pro-
cess is everywhere experienced.
Our dispatches from Lexington,
the great stock market for Cen
trail Kentucky, report decline in
sheep yesterday from &c to 4 DC ;
hogs, from Sc to 5(96c; cattle,
from 7(0Sc to 5@6c; horses TWEEN
ty per cent, and mules $l5 per
head.
! There is a bottom to the mar
kets, of course, and the indications
are that it will soon be reached.
The practice of boarding produce,
which was rendered practicable by
the abundance and cheapness of
money, rendered this break in the
markets inevitable. To such a
point had values been carried that
exports were not only checked,
but we ssere actually re-importing
leading articles of produce from
England. Now the tables are
turned,a land our foreign exports are
increasing.
But money being plenty, the
probability is that a violent reac-.
ton will take place, and capitalists
will again attempt to monopolize
stocks and force prices up, compell-
ing consumers and producers to
unite in paying the fiddler. 1t
/ will not be SO easy to do this, how
ever, as it was year ago. With
in the last six months boarding
produce has not paid. Within
the last sixty days it has certain
ly proved disastrous business.
and now let consumers see that
they get the advantage of the de-
cline. Let them bear in mind
when they go to their butcher,
their baker, or their grocer, that
there has been large and pretty
general decline in prices recently;
that hogs have fallen thirty-three
per cent, beef in proportion, and
that -four is full dollar a barrel
lower than it was a week ago.
