SOME say advertising does not pay.
Let few statements speak upon this
subject: A short time since a gentle
man advertised house for rent--the
next day he procured a good tenant at
n good price.
A lady lost some of her wearing APP
parel-an advertisement one time in
the CHRONICLE, secured the article
next morning.
A gentleman lost his watch-chain--
the CHRONICLE had hardy been deliver
cd to our city patrons before the adver-
tiser came forward to paythe bill, saying
it had been returned, the finder state
ing he saw it in the paper.
Some affect to believe that adver-
tiscments are not read. Let some in
dividual put an advertisement in the
most obscure position in paper, speak
ing i'll of his neighbor, or denouncing
something in unwarrented terms, and
every reader of said paper will be dis
cussing the merits or demerits of the
subject before the ink upon the paper
is dry.
Let the business man, who thinks
he can get along without advertising
try it for six months Of the year, and
strike balance sheet ofthe amount Of
business, during the time Of advertis.
ing and no advertising, and if he does
not find that advertising pays, we will
throw up the sponge upon the subject
and say no more about it while We
have any connection with a newspaper

Every year increases the popu-
larity Of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create q new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR-DREssING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tions, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
MD, State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and l consider it
the BEST PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"

The Negro vote.

We are disposed to believe that large
proportion of the negro vote of this sec
ton will be cast with the Democratic
party at the approaching Presidential
election. We find them greatly inclined
10 do SO; and that the intelligent, ambi
tious ones of them are sadly out with the
Radical party. They find that the Rad
icals are using them only as tools to help
themselves to Office and that their prOfes
sious of friendship are iusincere.
The recent Radical State Convention
which assembled in Louisville, refused
to pass resolution acknowledging them
entitled to share of the offices.
The Democrats have made no profes
sions of extraordinary favoritism to their
race, and yet is now as in the past, really
their best friends. The Democrats art
home people and the negroes know them
The present Democratic Legislature ha
endowed them with the privilege of tes
tifving in the Courts, etc: and in til
establishment of an additional Lunati
Asylum, appropriated $50, 900 to provid
aud care for colored unfortunates. Thes
facts are convincing the colored popula
ton that the Democratic party are in re
ality their best friends.

western Zmpatic AsyIum-De-
bAIP.
Correspondence OF the Louisville Courier
Journal.


Quite an interesting discussion came
off in the House OF Representatives
Monday on the Senate bill proposing the
establishment of third lunatic asylum.
The House committee reported two
amendments. the FIRST changing the name
TO the Central Kentucky Asylum, and
the other authorizing the commissioners
to locate the institution wherever in the
central portion Of the State the greatest
advantages are offered.
Mr. johnson, of Taylor, argued that
the restriction to the seven counties west
of the Tennessee was a gross injustice
alike to the State and the unfortuuates
who would DC sent to the asylum. The
galliuippers aud buffalo guats, he said.
had undisputed possession of the terri
torv in question. except where the su
premacy was disputed by milk sickness
and malarious Infections. and if the
design was to be everlastingly rid of the
lunatics no better selection could be
made.
Mr.. Ogilvie retorted that the gentle
mans county (Taylor) aud the Salt river
country never were known to produce
anything but apples and seed ticks, and
the counties ineluded in Jackson's pur-
chase offered at least the advantages of
an abundance of the necessaries of life
and every accessibility.
Mr. Wade disclaimed any desire on
the part of the committee to discriminate
in favor of any peint in their report.
What they aimed at was TO secure the
most advantageous location Of the asylum.
IL. 4.
Senate bill passed unamended, aud the
institution should be placed in the ex
treme coruer of the State, the most natu-
ral thing the people could do would be
to make the members of the Legislature
the first inmates.
Mr.. Wilson said he was born aud
raised n a county west of the Tennessee
river, and he believed he was about the
healthiest looking man on the floor, and
weighed more according 10 his looks.
Mr.. Cooper thought there should be
no restriction to the location Of the asy-
lum, and insisted that the committee 5
amendment should be amended.
Mr.. Beckham was of the opinion that
that was an extraordinary policy which
proposed to ignore a hundred and nine
counties of the Commonwealth for the
little ''pent-up Utica west of the Ten
nessee.
Mr. Corbitt said he lived in the ''Pur.
chase" and had never u-ed a musquito
bar in his life; and. even when he went
where the mosquitoes were thicker thar
in his own county of Ballard, he couldn
abide the things.
Mr.. Garnett contended that the amend
ment proposed by the committee should
be adopted, and Mr.. Haskins that i
should not.
After great deal of discussion, the
further consideration of the measure was
at late hour, postponed to next Tues
day The bill as it came from the Sen
ate will. think, be cencurred in near
| ly all the friends Of tie Cincinnati
Southern Railroad being apparent,
for 1t.

Changing Hickman and Bal
lard County Line.

The article referring TO proposed
change in the Hickman and Ballard
county boundaries, alledging that the
cause of said change was in the interest
of making Columbus the county seat Of
Hickman county instead of Clinton, is
not accepted as true by the Columbus
Dispatch. Our statements were made
upon the representations of citizens Of
Hickman county, and with no desire to
encourage local discord. We thought
the purpose indicated by us was openly
proclaimed and urged by the friends Of
Columbus. Indeed we might rest the
veritv Of our statement on the Dispatch :
own article, which We copy, to show our
desire to be fair:
"As the movement was started in Bal
lard county, and is asked only by Ballard
county petitioners. the object can hard
Iv be said TO be the removal of the county
seat of Hickman, for citizens of Ballard
do not care where the county seat of
Hickman is located. How warm the hos
tiiities may be we cannot say, as we rare
ly hear the subject mentioned here. His
true that tcere the proposed change made,
the people of the enlarged county would
in course of time change their county
seat, but what is that to you, Mr.. CoCR
TER? Are you so we'll posted in regard
10 the personal convenience of every man
in Hickman and Ballard counties as to
tell what would please him best. ''ORr
own opinion" is that the people of the
district affected are the ones to be con
suited. If there is any question under
Democratic government on which o
majority have right to rule, it is in q
question of this kind. In matters of
policy the majority may err, but this is
only matter of convenience, and this
convenience can be decided to au abso
lutte certainty by ballot. Every man
knows his own convenience.
