The RoAD TO ccEss.-We invite the at-

lowing maxims by great authors:
aTo \ You've MERCHANT When you pay
more for the rent Of your business house than tor
advertising your business, You are pursuing
false policy. If you can do business, let II b
known. - Franklin.
J" The most successful business men in this city
are those who have advertised literally and con.
stantly small advertisement constantly ap.
pearing is better than . display column OCCASION
ally.'-H. Greeley
"We have been carrying on the Louisville
Journal thirty -seven years, and during all this
time We have known no man Of business in the
city to fail who advertised literally. And We have
known no one to succeed in any considerable, il
even respectable degree, who didn't advertise
literally Prentice.
Mr.. EDITOR 1t is right that We should ex-
press-in feeble way though it may be-
through your paper our thanks TO the people
Of Denmark for the very hospitable reception
which they gave the Delegates to the Sabbath
School Convention which has just closed;
and also to the officers Of the keokuk 4 ST.
Paul Railway for their kind attention, and
returning Delegates free. We could not
give your readers the smallest idea Of the
enthusiasm that prevailed during the Con-
vention. Lee county never before had q
Convention that for practical instruction,
close attention, harmony Of feeling, and
earnest religious Impressions was near its
equal. Every one seemed to have formed
resolve to 60 home and enter afresh upon the
duties Of Sabbath School labor, and do more
for the Master. The statistical report Of the
Secretary showed to the Convention that Lee
county is leading all the other counties ofthe
State in the Sabbath School work, and yet
great deal remains to be done. W. shall ex>
pect great results from the Fourth Annual
Convention of Lee county. DrLEGATR.
IT will be interesting to the Republicans of
the city to know that the Tanners will be on
parade before many days. As soon as ma
chinery and muscle can make the equipments
the boys will be out. At the last meeting
quite number enrolled themselves in addi
ton to those already on the list. Company
"a" is composed Of some Of our most
worthy young men, the majority Of whom
nave cApeIlcDCtu tuc pTiVetOub 0uu buuCI-
ings of war III the ranks of the Grand Ar
mics of the Republic. They were Lincoln
hirelings,' with their hearts 80 full Of patri-
otsm that no sacrifices they were compelled
to make, no suferings they were compelled
to endure made them to waver in the good
cause until the flags of rebellion were low
cred and the hosts that followed them we're
fairly and honorably vanquished. Such men
constitute to-day the great body Of Tanners
here and elsewhere throughout the North
| men who will shoot the ballot in the same
direction they shot the bullet-toward the
enemies Of the Union and Liberty. We shall
be glad to see our Keokuk Tanners in line,
and we know their appearance will be hailed
with pleasure by the Grant and Colfax men
and women of our city.
