The CentrnI Market.

Whether the city fathers determine to dis
pense with the old Market House or not,
another, more elegant and convenient, will
soon be opened by Messrs. Conley, Caps 4
Co., at the old Post-ofice, corner Church
and Cherry streets. These gentlemen are
renovating the old building, and adapting il
to its new purposes. The painting is pro
crossing, and in a few days the plasterers
viii go to work. The open space fronting
on Cherry and Church streets is to be COW
cred with a neat iron roof, and will be used
for vegetable stalls. We learn that several
of the leading butchers have already ap
piled for stalls in the Central Market, and
market gardeners for suitable space for their
products. We are informed that within
three weeks the establishment will be
thrown open to the public.

Wild Fires Raging,

At several points not very distant from
the city wild fires were raging Tuesday
night, resulting in considerable damage to
timber and fencing. We have not as yet
heard of the destruction of any houses.
Sidney's Bluff, on Cumberland river, in
Cheatham county, was, last Sunday night,
visited by the fiery monster, and the scene
is described by persons who witnessed it as
terrifcly grand. No tree, shrub or rail was
left to testify to its former existence on the
bluff. These frequent fires, here as well
as in distant parts of the country, be-
gin to excite uneasy apprehension and
create a universal desire for early and
copiouS showers of rain.

DIXIE OIL COMPANY.
One of Our Most Important Manufac'
turing establishments.

turing Establishments.
We are greatly rejoiced at the success
which has attended this manufacturing es-
tablishment in our city. The company
effected an organization last March, and by
August had their buildings up, and all the
machinery in motion. The buildings, with
a front on McLemore street, near Cedar,
are very snowy, and the machinery used IS
of the latest and most approved styles. The
engine is one of the largest to be found IN
the city, and one of the best. In The con-
struction of buildings and the commence
ment of operations the company showed an
industry worthy of imitation, and IN the
management of the establishment at the
present time, there is a go-ahead-atlve-
ness that is commendable, evlnclng how
manufacturing can be successfully, built up
In orr midst. The establishment is run
both dav and night. Steam is raised at II
O'clock on Sunday night, and the fires are
not nut out until the following Saturday
NIGHT at the same hour, with separate sets
of hands for day and night work. The
great bulk of the oil and oil-cake meal
manufactured at the establishment is ship
ned directly to New York, and the latter
article from that point to Europe. There
is a switch of the Chattanooga road leading
directly to the back door of the warehouse,
and cars are loaded without the least diff
Guilty. BY this location on the line of the
railroad, it is estimated that $l4, 600 is saved
in the way of drayage, a very con-
siderable item. 1t is not unsual
to load ten or twelve car loads daily from
this establishment, and it is all done 50
quietly, that nobody except those in the i'm
mediate neighborhood know anything about
it. To give some idea of the demand for
the products of the cotton seed, we may
lust mention the fact that this company
have engagements for everything manu-
featured during the months of November
and December, and could make further
engagements ahead if so desired.
In addition to the present articles manu-
featured, the company will soon be able
to turn their refuse to profitable account in
some other items of manufacture. Success
to the Dixie Oil Company. We would like
to see hundred such establishments in
Nashville. ..-...... .-.... ..-.-..r.r

The Pittsburgh Post says that a gentle
man when negotiating for additional space
in that paper, remarked, 81 might as well
quit business as quit advertising"
The New York Times says a wholesale
grocer in that city who became rich in his
business, says his rule always was, when
he sold bill Of goods on credit, to imme-
diately subscribe for the local paper OF his
debtor. So long as his customer advertised
| literally and vigorously, be rested, but as
soon as he began to contract his advertising
space, he took the fact as evidence there
was trouble ahead, and invariably went
/ for his debt. Said he, ''the man who feels
| too poor to make his business known is too
! poor to do business"
The New York Journal Of Commerce
says: s1People who sit nervously in count
ing-houses, or behind their goods, waiting
for customers to take them by storm, and
making no effort to let the world know the
bargains they have to offer, viii find the sea-
son very unpropitious. Many of those who
| have spent large sums in hiring drummers
and paving for other well-known appliances
| to trade, have effected large sales but swal-
! lowed up too large a share of the receipts
| in such enormous attendant expenses. The
| best remuneration has been found by those
who have returned to more legitimate,
old fashioned methods of pushing their
business. We say it, not simply because
we are interested in this line Of expendi-
| ture, but as our best advice to all who
wish to be enterprising and secure a
| larger custom, there is nothing so effective
to this end as iudicious advertising.
A little advertising may be like a gentle
touch of the whip to poor Dobbin's horse,
"a mercy thrown away but liberal outlay
is almost certain to bring it in large re-
turn, and this will last even beyond the cur
rent season. We do not believe that any
one who has valuable service or desirable
property to offer can fail of reaping a ricf
| harvest by continuous advertising on {
| large SCALE"
Let the people know where you are
! what you have to sell-hOw cheap you sell
and that you want to sell. Let them know
all this, and the way to do it is to advertise.
1t will bring you trade; it will bring you
money. If man wants to buy anything,
he goes where he sees the most men trying
to sell it. If he wants to sell anything, he
goes where the most men are buying it,
and he goes to the men who advertise, be
cause he knows where to find them. This
is the great secret of success.
