The Indianola OILY Visitor relates this incident:
SIN 1861, young man was employed in this place
as a clerk in house, at the moderate sum of four
lars per week. In the fall of 1862 he went into
a snrIl business his own hook In 1868 he
formed a cOpartnership with his brother When
the senior of this firm threw his little bark on the
sea of public trade, we suggested TO him how to
advertise He took our advice-followed it strictly
to the etter-using more printers ink than all the
business firms of IndianOla combined. The result
of our advice together with the honesty integrity
and go-aheadatiVeness of this firm, has given them

Do You MISUNDERSTANDING Pays

Ask HelmboId, who takes whole page of
four or five New York dailies and fills the N
with advertisements of his Buchu. These cOsS
him in the neighborhOod of a thousand dollars
each for one day. Think of this, merchants,
mechanics and manufacturers, while you sit in
your offices and wonder that your more enter
prising neighbors are charging their business,
building palatial residences, and guiding spank
ing teams along our thoroughfares. They max
their money by telling the people, thrOughth
columns of a new spaper, that they are in bust
ness, and would be- glad to wait on them. Yes
you had better believe advertising pays.

PARTY NAMES.
From the Knoxville Chronicle Radical

From the Knoxville Chronicle (iadiCal(.
Some of the Democratic papers of the
State seem to be greatly exercised about
proper name for their party. The Jack
son Wing is terribly opposed to the name
of Democrat. 1t denies that any such
party exists. 1t denies that it was the
Democratic party that triumphed in 1869.
The Banner, Of Nashville, and iU0-
lanche, of Memphis, like the name of
Conservative, and insist upon il that the
Democratic party has no existence in
Tennessee. Now, there is nothing more
ridiculous than such talk. What party
was it that in 1868 nominated Seymour
for President Was it not the Demo-
cratic party? Is it not the,Democratic
Campaign Congressional Committee re-
Gently appointed, with which the
Democratic Conservative party in this
State co Operate2 Is there any other
than the Democratic party recognized in
the other States With what party will
this hybrid party in Tennessee train in its
Congressional and National contests
There are but two national parties in the
coUntry-the Republican and Democratic
and with one or the other of these par
ties this Tennessee cOnglOmeration must
work. There can be no Sinking. There
may be men who are dissatisfied with the
Republican party, and who would favor
new and liberal party-but they have
no such choice. The opposition to Re
publicanism is Democracy, with all its
odious record of treason and corruption,
and under its flag every opponent of the
Republican party must train. He has no
other choice.

HoUsEKEEPERs are to have relief at
last. A Frenchman has introduced into
the kitchen of Paris, at small cost, an en-
CINE that runs by gas burning, and of
about two-Bridget power. 1t can be
made to wash, cook, bake and do many
other things that a servant does, and the
inventor predicts that it will soon do
away with the majority of hired help.
