Il Dom. PAY 90 Advertise. p

sit don't pay to advertise. +" l
never read an advertisement In my
life," said a wholesale grocer In Chi
cago to the writer on one occasion
when solicited to advertise in the COnr-
Ter. Besides" said he. you have
in Lafayette.some of the largest whole
sale grocery houses In the country"
To this we answered: My dear sir, if
you don't believe it pays to advertise,
and never read an advertisement In
your life, how do you kno11 that La
fayette boasts of some of the heaviest
grocery houses in the West" We
put him on honor to answer how he
got the impression. Did you ever
sell them bill of goods?" Never"
" Did you ever buy anything OF
,them?" Never" Forced to the wall,
he was compelled to confess that he
got this impression from their adver-
Using. Somewhere, he could not tell
when or In what medium, an adycr
tisemeut of Earl Il Hatcher's or O.
W. Pierce & Co. had been photo
graphed upon his eye and memory,
and he thus became an unwilling
witness to the advantage of advertis-
ing. Now, we undertake to say that
this impression fastened upon his
mind was worth. tangibly, to either of
these houses all that the ADVERTISE
ment cost. 1t is safe to assume that
his impression was always associated
with Lafayette. and that he seldom,
if ever, spoke of one without an allU-
sion to the other.
In further conversation cur Chi
cago friend expressed the opinion that
it did not pay bank to advertise.
We had him again. Who do you
regard as the leading banker Of the
seaboard citiesf" Why. Jay Cooke,
of course" said he. "Did you ever
have any transactions with his house
In New York or Philadelphia p we
asked. Never" "Then, if you
never read advertisements and don't
believe it pays a bank to advertise,
please tell me how you obtained such
an impression of Jay Cooke and his
relation to banking" He acknowl-
edged the corn, and confessed to new
light on the subject. He had never
thought Of it before The fact is, it
is too late in the day for business men
to entertain inidef doubts on adver-
Using. 1t is a great mistake to sup
pose that the advantages of this sys-
tenn are confined to humbugs,
patent medicines. and the like,
Tor certainly if an article of
ne merit whatever, can sue
coed in and through advertising, how
mach more may be expected for an
article of real merit The DO rus arti-
Gle, though never so judieiously adj
vertised, is bought but once, while
the genuine is not only bought again
and again, but the purchaser himself
becomes an advertising medium for
its sale. He recommends it to others.
No department of business can be re-
garded as an exception to the rule.
We could name several citizens of
Lafayette who have made money in
business without advertising, yet we
do not hesitate to say that the same
application. the same energy, capital,
and capacity, combined with and
stimulated BY a judicious system of
advertising, would have doubled their
business and their gains. = Lafayette
Courier.

Startling DisGAGsuPeS-seFI0us keel
dent on the Chic River Balls-Re-
ported Riot at DanVille. KY.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 3.-The Courier
Journal has advices from Nashville,
which purport to be from a reiiable
source, making startling disclosures
concerning the plans of the Stokes
party in Tennessee.
These adYices assert that 1t IS the
intention Of Gen. Stokes TO assemble
q legislature of his own at Nashville,
to organize a separate State Govern
ment, and to cal! upon Gen. Cooper,
of the militia. for his assistance.
Cooper is said to be committed to the
conspiracy. The federal office hold
ers and the Republican municipal au-
thorities of Nashville are also a part
of it. The scheme is attributed to
Horace Maynard, but it IS said to
have the approval of Boutwell, and
other Republican leaders at Wash
ington.
In lieu of the militia which are
disbanded, Gen. Cooper expects to
be backed BY the Grand Army of the
Republic. The object of this move
ment is to create a conflict calling tor
the intsrposition of Congress, which
will be memorialized on the subject.
It Is expected that the Adminlstra-
tration will protect Mr.. Stokes and
his party until Congress meets.
A serious accident occurred at the
Ohio Falls bridge, about IL o'clock
this forenoon, by the capsizlng OF a
yawl belonging to the steamer Mo!lle
Ebert, which resulted IN the drowning
of man named Murray, and the mar
row escape of Captain Pink Farble,
the Falls pilot, and four others.
Reports were rife this morning that
d serious riot had broken out at Dan
Vile, Ky, but telegrams from that
point this evening fatty deny them.
The Eoeutag E:rpress contains the
following: We hear ugly reports
from Casey County and that region.
The Regulators, according to tins
rumor, have been at work, and blood
has again been shed. We are told
that a gang Of some thirty men made
an attack on 4 house of one Of the
Rowsey party. in Casey, and shot and
killed three men and one woman.
There are no other particulars. This
/ is the same gang that have been oper-
ating In Anderson, Mercer and ad-
Joining counties. They are a band of
scoundrels, and should be brought to
Justice"
An Official order has been received
from the Adiutapt Generals Office
at Frankfort, addressed to Major
