How Advertising Pays.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
ays of one of the Oldest banking houses IN
the country: 1--WE are pleased to learn
from its managers that they trace in their
business the benefits of judiciOus adver-
tising. Any one would suppose that such
bank, so long established and so widely
known, might sell its bills and drafts and
obtain collections enough to satisfy any
reasonable ambition without a dollar of
outlay for advertising And 80 it might be
said of Messrs. Brown Bros. Il Co., Dun
can, Sherman i Co., and other leading
bankers, whose advertisements appear all
the year in our columns. Messrs. A. T.
Stewart q Co., who are more extensively
known than any other house on this cOntiN
nent, pay US annually more money for ads
vertising their business than any of their
would-be rivals If house Is not well known
it should become so by liberal advertising,
and the better it becomes known and the
larger its business, and the more independ-
ent il would seem to be, the better still
does it pay to advertise it. Advertising IS
not only means of success, but 1t Is at
once the evidence of it, and guarantee of
its continuance. Many noble houses date
the decadence of their trade fOm the sus-
pension of advertising
The Baltimore Sun adds:
''If this is true of such extensive and
well established houses as those named
and that it is, no one can doubt-hOw
much more forcibly does 1t apply to small
or financial, mercantile aud other business
enterprises, and particularly to those
seeking to establish a trade"

RAILROAD EXCITEMENT IN
MARSHALL COUNTY.
A, Meeting of the Citizens of Lewis

A. Meeting of the Citizens of Lewis
burg.
Marshall county being one of the finest
grain-growing and stock-raising counties
in Middle Tennessee, has felt the want of
railroad facilities as much as any county
in the State. Having recently learned
that there is prospect and a probability
of an extentiOn of the Shelbyville branch
of the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad
from Shelbyville to Cornersville, there was
a large collection of the people to-day at
Lewisburg. Speeches were made by r.
S. Montgomery, Capt. Sam. Ewing and
Col. James II. Lewis, who are plain, prac-
ticable, business men, setting forth the
wants of the county, and showing that
now is the time for Marshall county to
strike for railroad.
Different modes were suggested by
which to raise the sum of 5000, 900; but
Mr.. Montgomery thought the surest plan
would be by private subscription, and
made the proposition that he would be one
OF forty men to raise the amount at once.
The proposition was accepted by several
on the ground, and the unanimous con

by opening books for subscription.
After the speeches a regular meeting
was organized by calling Capt. William
Robinson to the chair and appointing S.
A. Dullng Secretary.

gates to confer with the Directors of the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad at
their meeting to be held in Nashville, on
