Athens Post Office.

We stated week or so ago that VIM. NJ.
Sehorn had been appointed postmaster at
Athens, rice Thos j. Cate, removed. Mr.. Sc
horn took charge of the Office on Tuesday. and
it has then removed to his old place of bust
ness on the North side Of the Square. While
not disposed to complain at the change of
course. we must take occasion to say that the
outgoing officer has always discharged his du-
ties faithfully and in Il manner generally sat
isfactory to the community, and that the re-
moval was made entirely on party grounds
Our business through the office is as large per-
haps as that of any one in the place, and we
have ever found him attentive and accommo-
dating. OF his successor: we have known
him for many years; he is reliable and respon-
sible in every respect, and he too will no
doubt discharge the duties of the office salts
factOrily.

The DiGcrcnce.

Parties who doubt the profit and efficacy Of
printers ink when properly applied, can very
readily have their doubts removed by noticing
the great difference in the number of per-
sons who daily visit houses that adyer-
tise their business through the columns Of
popular paper, and those that don't. The
statesmen at the former are always employed
waiting on customers, selling them goods, re-
ccving money, and interchanging those pleas
ant and courteous greetings which make the
life of the retail merchant so interesting and
are certain to bring the buyer back to his coun-
ter again; while at the latter--the houses that
never seek the public through the press, but
leave the people to grope their way In dark
ness to themi-thcy may generally be seen
standing at the door, casting anxious looks up
and down the streets, and complaining that
times are so dull, or wondering why 1t is that
everybody and his wife are running to so and
SOS, "whosc stock Is no larger nor better than
ours" All! fogy friend. we'll tell you. You
are all wrong. you're half century behind
the age, working in the old ruts and grooves
and trying to run schedule that was in vogue
forty years ago when there was but the one
L" store in the county; while your more cha
tcrprising and sprightly neighbor. who UNDER
stands the situation, takes advantage of your
dullness, and want of perception. and goes in
to print: he spreads himself In the papers; he
tells the people what he's got and respectfully
solicits them to drop in and see for themselves;
he speaks to them MS it were from atar of; they
hear his voice and they come. He believes,
too, in the golden rule-equal to anything In
holy wrt-of live and let live" lie knows
that if he spends fifty ora hundred dollars with
the printer. the printer, who is generally good
egg with an indefinite amount of cash always
on hand, will spend two or three hundred dol
lars with him in the course of the year, and
thus he gets all immediate return on the in
vestmcnt. besides drawing custom from every
neighborhood where the paper circulatcs.-
That man in Il few years secures fortune and
Is able to retire from business; but our fogy
friend. who should have existed in the days
Immediately subsequent to the flood plods his
slow way along, and If he everacquires COM
petcnce at all. it is at the end of Il laborious
life when he has no capacity left to enjoy the
fruits of his hard toll.
We are entirely disinterested and free from
selfish motives in these suggestive remarks.
The advertising department of the Posi- is al
ready pretty well filled; but as a christian
and philanthropist, breathing nothing but
love toward our neighbor and his wife, we
want to see all thrive and prosper, and use the
privilege of our position to point out the
readiest and surest way for them to do it..
ADVERTISE! That's the ticket.

IT is commoa to meet with articles in the pa
pers nowadays pointing out to the agricul-
turist the bad economy of trying to cultivate
too much territory. The advice is sensible and
good; but the same mistake applies to some
of our friends of the press. They spread them
selves over too much surface. Less space,
with more diligent and thorough culture,
light be an improvement in the latter as well
as the former case.

The Judicial Election.

1t is with extreme regret that we
toto in the Republican rnnks an
apathy aud an Indifference in regard
to the election on the 9th instant.
This is one Of the most important
elections that ever came before the
people Of Tennessee. We may truly
say that The perpetuity Of a loyal
government in our State depends upon
it. The abrogation of the Franchise
Law would be- our ruin, and such will
be the case in the event of the sue.
cess Of the opposition ticket. There
must be no division in our ranks, but
the loyal men of the State must 90 to
the polls on the 9th in unbroken
column0, and vote for Andrews, Mc.
Claim and Hawkins. Let not a single
Republican regard his vote and inAu.
enoe as unnecessary, but work vigor.
