CALL FOR A STATE CON
VENTION.


,r,o,t,a 0o,nocrattc and Conservative
Voters of the state of Tennessee.
On the second Tuesday in November
next, the important elections for Members
of Congress, Governor of the State, and
Members of the Legislature will be held.
1t is deemed of the highest importance, in
order to secure the complete overthrow of
the political party which has for several
years ruled and almost ruined us, that
there should be unity of action among the
Democratic and Conservative party of the
in those elections.
he Executive Committee appointed by
the State Convention held in this city on
the 9th day of June, 1868, have, therefore
for the purpose of preserving harmony
in our ranks and promoting unity of &C
ton in those elections resolved to call a
convention of the Democratic and ConserV-
alive party of the State to assemble at the
Capitol in this city on Tuesday the 18th OF
September next at ii A. M. for the pur-
pose of nominating a candidate for Gov
ernor, and taking such other steps as may
be necessary to secure the thorough Or
ganization of the party. The several
counties in the State are, therefore
requested on or before the 1st Monday in
September to appoint delegates to that
convention. GEO. ]. STUBBLEFIED,

Advertising and its Results.

The following comes from New York paper
"The changes going on in society make it necessary
for business man to keep before the people. If
he expects to succeed in trade, fair statement of
what he Is doing, and will do is necessary for him
self and those dealing with him. He must make
this statement, and does do it in some way if he
sells anything. People quite apt to go where
their attention is called, and # theY find things as
represented they viii purchase there in preference
to spending their time in seeking elsewhere Those
whose patronage and influence are of the greatest
value never spend too much time in looking up
thing. They have learned that time is money, and
that without time in this world money is worthless
1t is conclusive that there is merit as well as profit
in advertising honestly and fairly in telling people
what and how you will do, and then doing it Those
who are willing to trade strictly upon principle can
circulate an advertisement throughout an entire
community, and it will have just as much force as
though they spoke to each individual by word, or
each visited their establishment and examined for
himself. This advertising only amounts to the
same as telling your patron when he calls on you
how you will sell to him. 1t is just to all con-
cerned to advertise conscentiously, and those who
do it will find advertising of the utmost impcr-
lance"

Do You Relieve Advertising paysq

Ask Helmbold, who takes whole page of
four or five New York dailies and fills them
with advertisements of his Buchu. These cost
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 enlarging their business,
building palatial residences, and guiding spank
ing teams along our thoroughfares. They max
their money by telling the people, through tn
columns of newspaper, that they are in bust
ness, and would be glad TO wait on them. Yes
you had better believe advertising paws.

Does 1t Pay to Advertise ?

If you have any doubts about it, the only
way to find out is to give it fair trial. and as.
certain whether it does or not.
From every section of the country come tes-
timonials of the advantages derived from a
well regulated system of advertising. A surer
or safer investment for business men cannot
well be imagined. 1t puts them before the
public in beneficial light; ''they become
known and read of all men," and reap an
abundant harvest from the seed thus sown.
There can be no doubt of the fact; patrons de-
clare it; newspapers assert it, and experience
conclusively proves it. Here are a few cases
gathered from various sources illustrating this
point: .rI ~

What "a Bostonian Thinks.

The Adams On y Visitor speaks of an emf
nent BoStonien who regarded an advertise
ment in newspaper as a personal invitation
to call, and said: "While sometimes hesitate
about entering store the proprietOrs of which
have not thus sent their cards TO my residence
l always feel certain of cordial welcome
from the members of an advertising firm"
The same paper adds: "There is in this re-
mark an assurance of one of the many results
of advertising. The trader and his calling be-
come identified, and the name of the man IS in
separately connected in the mind of the pubIic
with his merchandise. 1t may not be the very
day an advertisement appears that it bears its
fruit; weeks or months may elapse, and then,
when the want arises, the article to be OBJ
tanned Immediately suggests the advertiser
This is the effect of general advertising when
persistently followed. A special class of ad-
vertisements, where some novelty is announced
is more immediate. A shrewd business man
once advertised trifling article in a manner
which could scarcely prove remunerative His
neighbOrs expressed their regret at his folly,
but he appeared contented. Though his gross
sales of the article did not cover the cost his
advertising, he attracted new class of people
to his store, and his shrewdness paid him in a
very short time, for new eyes saw what he had
to offer in addition to the speciality advertised,
and new purses came under contribution to
him."
