NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want of Lime of Telegraph, located with
view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns now with
out any teiegraphic communication whatever, and
the lines now established between other points
are, in most cases, disconnected, following cir
cuitors routes, hundreds of miles out of direct
course, causing vexatious and unnecessary delays
TO business, by reason of numerous repetitions,
and the frequent interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts borne in mind that the
liability of telegraph line to damage from any
cause is increased in the same proportion as its
length, and that the repetition of message dou-
bes the time necessary for its transmission, the
great and very important advantages of a direct
route over the circuitous ones now in operation
can readily be seen. SAC = p52b3

Is most fattering. The location of the line is
one of the best in the country. 1t passes through
a large number of importantcities and towns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in
creasing. The country along the river is receiv-
ing constant aecessions of wealth and population,
and these win bring an increase of trade which
must correspondingly add largely every year to
the business and profits of the company. All the
old telegraph companies throughout the country
arc now, and have been, paying satisfactory div
idends, on capital stock that has been repeated
edly watered. If these companies, controlled by
a few wealthy individuals owning nearly all the
stock can do this, it is quite reasonable to sup
pose that company, owned and managed by lis
patrons, with its lines so desirably located, and
WITH limited amount OF stock, can at least dc
equally as well.

CAPITAL STOCK.

The capital stock of the company is One Mil
hundred dollars each. The company desire to
distribute the stock in small amounts among the
business men along the entire length of the line,
in order to their interest in the welfare oil
the company, and to secure to them, its patrons,
their share of the profits from its business.

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Jeweiry Association calls your attention to
the fact of its being the largest aud most popu-
lar Jewelry Association In the United States.
The business Is and always has been conducted
in the most candid and honorable manner. Our
rapidly increasing trade Is sure guarantee Of
the appreciation of our patrons for this method
OF opt aiming rich, elegant and costly goods. The
sudden stagnation of trade in Europe, owing to
the late German war, and recent disastrous iinan-
elal crisis in Europe, has caused the failure of
large number OF jewelry houses in London and
Paris, obliging them to sell their goods at a
great sacrifice, IN some instances less than one
third the cost OF manufacturing. We have lately
purchased very largely of these bankrupt goods
at such extremely low prices that we can afford
to send away finer goods. and give better chances
TO draw the most valuable prizes than any other
establishment doing similar business. OUR
AIM Is TO PLEASE, and We respectfully So
lIclt your patronage, as we are confident of Civ
ing the utmost satisfaction. During the past
year we have forwarded a number Of the most
valuable prizes to ali parts of the country
