In this manner the relief was deceived

alarmed and marched to the hall. On

THE AGE OF ADVERTISING.


In the beginning OF The present GEN.
tury The art OF advertising was conf
parativcly little understood. 1t had
been practlsed, indeed, to considera-
Bile extent In England, but in this coun-
try Its benefits were scarcely recognize
ed. Anything like free use of the
newspapers for the purpose Of blazon-
ing IL mans name ard his business to
the world was LETT to the inventors and
sellers Of quack medicines. What ore
called "daming advertisements were
considered dsieputahle by the solid
men, and drowned upon as savoring of
exaggeratlon If not of downright base
mess and ia,sehood, Circusses and
-'Houck's '.Panacea" were permitted to
enjoy the wonderful advantages of the
printing press without disturbance.
A vast change has taken place since
that day. 1t is not only respectable
nowadays to advertise extensively,
but it is indispensable. When the
power ofstcam was applied to the slow
machinery of the press and thought be-
gan to traverse the earth upon the
wings of the lightning, the old time
process of building up business by
means OF a succession of geneI ations of
merchants inhabiting the same dingy
old house and using the same obscure
and almost illeglble sign, disappeared.
1t was found that by a proper use ofthe
newly discovered agencies as much
could be accomplished in an hour as
formerly IN day, and businesScould
be built up IN five years that could hard
ly have been acquired in q century be-
fore the discovery and general intro
duction of the new inventions. The
ait OF printing kept pace with the speed
Of travelling. As business transactions
could take place in few hours which
the old fogy merchant never thought of
accomplishing in less than Several
weeks, and as the area OF traffic was al
most infinitely extended bg the rail-
road and the steam boats, soft became
incumbent on the factor Of goods to
avail himself of every meals to make
known his name, his place Of busincss
and the kind and quality OF his wares
to the constantly widcnin5 circle Of
customers. He found the seam press
ready to his hand. Printing was not
only a thousand times morerapid than
>ad been, but ir was cheaper yeiy

Ipcrense Of railroad Travel.

The prosperous condition of the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad may be UNI
derstood from the following comparative
statements, which we copied yesterday
from the books
The increase of passenger receipts IN
October, 1869, over October, 1868, was
s2O.6s 81; November, 1869, over No
vember, 1868, s32,ss9 81; December,
1869. over December, 1868, SS6,7S6 81;
total for the last quarter of 1869 over the
same in 1868, ssO,363 32 total increase
from the same source for the last six
months of 1869 over the last six months
of 1868, $780, 100 50.
The prosperity Of the road is nnexam-
pied almost in the South, and is destined
to be still greater after the completion of
the Memphis and Little Rock railroad
The day will come when this road will be
a part of the Southern Pacific railroad,
and will be most important link in the

rwo AMERICAN CITIZENS.

An impression exists IN the minds OF
some in this community that Gen Mar
Gus j, Wright and Col T. W. Avery, at
present candidates before the people of
Shelby county, are rendered incompetent
from holding any Office under the State
in consequence of resting under. disabili-
ties imposed by the Fourteenth Amend
ment We are happy to make known to
all such that, whatever may have been the
disquali6cations of these gentlemen, the
Congress of the United States, the
grand Rump, has generously for
given any sins they may have com
mitted in the past and restored them to
the happy fold of true American citi-
zens. One of the gentlemen, Colonel
T. W. Avery, labored under the enor-
nous crime OF having once accepted aud
willingly served his constituents in the
capacity of a Representative in Con-
gress. He was afterward found out to
have engaged in armed rebellion against
the chest government the world ever
saw" and behaved in manner most dis
loyal That he should repent of these
youthful indiscretions, in sack cloth and
ashes. aud be made to eat dirt no one
in these enlightened days can gainsay.
Like General Washington, he was
found TO have cut his father cherry tree,
but was too truthful to deny the fact
His amiable progenitor, whep assured
that the child would not tell a lie, for-
gave him the deed and restored to him
again his Ratchet, with which he had de-
stroyed that sprout called the tree
of liberty. The gentleman assures
ms that he will not again,
Mt least for some little time to come,
engage in any act which might be con-
strued into rebellion. He is worthy Of
belief and entitled to the votes of his
comrades and the people of Shelby
county, in his election to the office OF
Clerk Of the First District Court. Not
withstanding the efforts of some Radicals
in Memphis to prevent which, General
Wright was relieved of the least
suspicion of his disqualification. His
opponent has been beard to say that
it mattered not il the General did sncceed
in getting more votes than he Carry,
withal he would not be successful in OBJ
taininins the office of Sheriff The idea
was that tie Democratic candidate was
under the bans of the Fourteenth Amend
ment, and he, the Radical Curry-comb,
would enjoy the pleasure of eurrying him
out at the last moment. We now say;
Come on, McDuf, andd-nyoar eyes.

German Meeting.

To the Editors of the Ledger;
Where there are two Germans there is
AT least three different opinions. The
last German meeting proved this sui
fciently. The meeting of the 30 inst.
inclined to the Radicals. When people
who consider themselves civilized COM
mence to bite and bark and snarl, like
puppy dogs, in a public meeting, it is a
little too much of a good thing to be
passed over in silence; and other Ger
mans, who keep aloof from the meetings,
do not like to suffer the reflection that
they cast around. If F. W. Louis and
L. Moore, who act for certain party pur-
poses, would keep their wisdom little
more to themselves, and their tongues
not quite so loose, it would be more to
the benefit of their alleged candidates.
If Mr.. Pante would keep his cherished
articles Of war out of the way at wrong
times, it would reflect immense credit on
his good sense. Take it all in all, the
purpose of the meeting is good, but as
long as such chatterers are allowed to
let their tongues run no good will come
