ADVERTISING.

T. H. Leavitt says in every branch Of business
the benefits of advertising are immense. There
is risk, but it is small and the probabilities are
largely in favor of success when you let 1T b.
knoaca that you have something for sale, thereby
going steadily to work to turn up something
rather than sit still, waiting for something tc
turn up"
The benefits of advertising are known and re-
allied by some and we see constant proofs of it
The same means are open to all, but he who
neglects them, not only robs himself of fair adj
vantage but leaves the field open and the game
free to his wiser fellow.
Life abounds in cases of brilliant results to gen
erous policy, and in support of our recommends
ton of such course, as wise, we can ask no high
er authority than the words of Solomon, wh(
says, There is that scattereth and yet increaseth
and there is that withholdeth more than is NEE
but it tendeth to poverty"
Time is money; give your business publicity
and as much may oftentimes be accomplished il
few days as would otherwise require weeks an6
months of time with labor and expense in pro-
portion.
If a man has good property for sale, and time
is any object to him. it is idle to speak of the cos
of advertising as objection; as we'll might he
object to any other expense attendant upon the
care of his property, or theprosecution of his bus
mess; for the small amount ordinarily required
for judicious advertising is as nothing when com
pared with the advantages attendant upon quick
sale and fair price, secured by competition
among a number of customers.
An advertisement should be clear distinct an6
to the point, conveying in few words as pos
sible, the description and prominent advantages
of the property offered. Such an advertisement
inserted once, twice, three, five, ten. or twenty
times costs but little, is read, and in majority
of cases 1T PAYS.

Meeting in Florida.

There was a large meeting of white and col
ored citizens in Pensacola on the Both ultlmo,
which was presided over by Hon. Charles II.
Gingles. The speeches on the occasion all tend
ed to the same point, to impress the colored
people with the injury which they were doing
themselves in separating themselves from the
old citizens by their secret political organizations.
The meeting it is reported, had the effect OF
disabusing the minds of the negroes on that
subject.
Among others, the meeting was addressed by
Hays Satterwhite, venerable old colored man,
who, as he said, came from Old Virginia in
1927. He said he was proud of Florida, proud
of the many white folks and gentlemen OF stand
ing whom he knew at Tallahassee and other
parts that, whether as slave or freedman, he
had always been treated well, and he did not
want his colored brethren to do anything which
would destroy the friendly relations which al
ways existed He told them he did not want
to see them form separate societies that they
should consult the white folks, and look upon
them as friends; that they must not run into
dark holes and corners and take the advice OF
those they knew nothing about and that if
they wanted to get along well, "they must come
out of the shade, come out in the pure air, be-
fore the light of Heaven, and be free men be-
fore God, exercise the judgment He gave them,
and be no slaves as before; that day is past and
gone-the light of freedom shines the same on
the black as the white man, and that it was the
white man S interest to protect the black man,
and the black mans to make friends of the
white man, and vote for the best mar" He
concluded his speech amid shouts OF applause.

starving people of South Carolina-his native
State-to the farmers and all other persons hav-
country, to sell and deliver to him their surplus
corn at the earliest practicable 1t is i'm
peritively necessary that corn should be gotten
to these people at once in order that they may be
saved from actual starvation, as they failed al
most entirely in a corr crop themselves and sup
plies from other sources are cut off by the almost
unprecedented condition of the country roads and
the interruption of Railroad communication by
the washing away of bridges, &c.
This appeal is not for contributions: [ propose
to pay the market price in cash upon the deliv
cry of the corn, and will hope that humane
people will not horde up the necessaries of life
from their furnishing countrymen. Much good
may be done by the immediate delivery of so
bushels by each farmer ifhe cannot deliver more.
