The most reliable data of important events

yet fresh in the minds of the writers

Before the State of Tennessee was admitted

when to Advertise,

The experience of the most successful bust
ness men supplies but one answer to this ques
ton, and that is, constantly. Notoriety is
condition of success in all employments which
demands the support of the public; and there
is no way in which this nOtoriety can be sc
surely gained, as by advertising. When trade
is duh, advertise. When the blood in the hui
man body is sluggish, brisk exercises is resorted
to, to quicken it When the public appetite fol-
your wares iS-duH, stimulate it by recital OF
their flavor and richness. a man may be made
hungry by hearing an eloquent description of
good things which moment before he had
not a wish for. Moreover, the fundamental
principles of keeping your name and your
business before the people, have special forcein
dull seasons When trade is brisk, advertise.
In the oil regions, when a new we'll is discharg-
ing comparatively liberal stream, the owners
bore into it, and double the oleaginous volume.
So when customers are coming in crowds, ''bore
into'' them with advertisements, and you will
treble their numbers.

He travels with his leather medical bag strap

at his back. The Doctor has a large practice

THE GAS QUESTION.
Chancellor Temples Construction OF the
Fiat
IN of the

We do not think any intelligent reader failed
to see that the construction placed upon Chan-
eellor Temples first fat in the case referred to
in Mr. Branner's card was strained one
There was nothing in the prayer OF the bill or
in the fat that was intended to stop the supply
of gas to the CITY, The object for putting such
a construction upon it we do not know, but
leave our readers to Judge. We do not think the
newspapers the proper forum for deciding legal
rights, or the action of high-minded, honorable
Chancellors, such as Chancellor Temple is
known to be. Col Branner's card came very
late Monday night-after the editors of the
CHRONICLE left-or the card would have been
accompanied with proper remarks We do not
think the effort to bring the Chancellor before
the public in the light of bringing upon them
great Inconvenience at all warranted by the
whole facts in the case e-.ItHt
