Advertising.

The easiest way in the world TO eu.
mulate a fortune is to advertise HI
ciously.
If any person has doubts whether 1
vcrtisements are read or not, let him p.
something he does MT wish known in a
obscure part of the paper.
The man who advertises shows moi
only business talent above his neigh
bors, but he may at once be reckoned
among the Independent, generous, and
publicspirited Of the community. He
who hides his light under bashel when
such advantages ms those at present af.
forded are so freely offered him does not
deserve to succeed.
Advertising as the means Of prosperity
is not as well understood as it should be.
Nothing can take it place. 1t is fact
that no one who has advertised literally
or systematically has felt like disputing
that t was the best spent money he put
into his business. As horse was never
made fat by single bushel of oats, so q
single advertisement is never a perfect
test of the benefits Of advertising. The
man with genuine wares to cell who ad-
vertised them in the right way without
success would be a curiosity
The object in advertising is to increase
business. An advertisement properly
inserted in a newspaper is more effectual
than any Other method, because it is read
when reader is in O mood for it. No
one will take time to read an advertise
ment unless he has passive inclination
to do so. The great advantage of Q
newspaper advertisement is shown in
this manner: In printed advertising,
all transient methods, as circulars and
the like, are thrust upon us unsought---
scarcely glanced at. but 1ung into a
waste-basket and wholly forgotten. At
some subsequent time we are in need Of
the very article the circular represented,
but we can not recall the merits, terms,
or address. Naturally We seek the news
paper, and then is the specific time the
advertisement that regularly appears in
the newspaper wins.

MADISON COUNTY.

H'hsff'CtN Npt%"a'
A party of twelve or fifteen men rode
into Richmond, about two o'clock on
Monday night, 10th inst, rsked for tn,
keys to the county jail, and, having pro
cured the same from the jailor's wife
proceeded to release one Barabas, called
John Brooks, in durance vile for robbine
the meat-house Of a poor negro man who
gained an honest livelihood by the sweat
of his brow. 1t was not Johnny's only
ofiense, this robbery of the negro; but
he had been often engaged in such
disreputable proceedings, and was no;
by himself In fact it was very positive
ly known in his neighborhood that a
band of petty thieves had an organira-
ton there, and their operations were of
frequent occurrence. Arresting Brooks,
Collins and Johnston, put an end to their
thefts. Yet number of other persons
besides those mentioned were members Of
the gang, and while Brooks remained in
Jail, terrible uneasiness rested on their
minds least John might blow on them !;
and indeed it is said that last week
Brooks sent his partners, in crime, word
that Circuit Court was near at hand and
unless he should be rescued from the law
before court began he would expose the
whole concern. His threat had the de-
sired effect, and the result was the out
rage on Monday night.

A Ten Thousand Dollar Dinner.

One of the greatest pieces Of eStrava
gance on record in this couhtry is de,
scribed by New York correspondent Of
the Boston Transcript. 1t was in the
shape of a private dinner given at Del
monico's. A wealthy German importer,
who had retired from business, and was
about to sail for Europe, decided before
leaving America, to invite his friends to
dinner. Covers were ordered for seven
ty-four guests, and carte blanch was Civ
en- to Delmonico for the dinner. The
large banquet hall Of that establishment
was secured, the same hall where the
dinners to Dickens and Tyndall were
given, at the rate of fifteen dollars tick
ct. For nearly "a week the employees of
Delmonico were engaged in preparing for
the dinner. A table twenty-four feet in
breadth, extending the whole length of
the room, was constructed. In the CEN
ter of it an artificial pond was made,
with a fountain, while around the fount.
ain live swans were floating. OF course
the pond was Gagged over. The center
of the table was banked with flowers,
from the waters edge, at a cost of over
three thousand dollars. Perfume fount-
aims were constructed in various parts of
the table, and to the intoxication of the.
senses, Bernstein's full band of thirty-fve
pieces, was engaged to furnish the music.
The dinner commenced at 8, p. M, and
continued for couple of hours, after
which dancing took place until midnight,
when the dinner, Or supper, as it was
then called, was resumed for an hour or
two, followed by dancing until in the
morning. The bill for this dinner
amounted to just ten thousand dollars.

pared with their value in 1860?
Lands in our county are decreasing

twenty per cent. higher than the price
of 1860. doubt whether sales could
be effected above the price of that year.
Z. What causes of Encouragement ex-
ist among farmers, and what suggestions
of remedies can you make? What form
of cooperation or combination will aid
in giving effect to such semedies?
In this age of rings and combinations
of tradcsmen and manufacturers, when
supply and demand has nothing to do
with what the farmer buys or Sells, the
prices of his products are generally fixed
before they are ready for market ;
whether remunerative or not is matter
of small consideration with the dealer,
while the price of his supplies and labor
is sustained by tariffs, boards of trade,
trade unions, including railroad freights,
and other combinations, all to fatten and
grow rich upon the farmers hard earn
ings. While his products have deprec-
ated fully one hundred per cent, his sup
plies continue nearly up to war prices,
and it is only matter of time how long
he can sustain this unequal contest. Ir
is selfevident fact that to buy at higher
rates than we sell is impoverishing to in
dividuals as well as nations.
Well-organized farmers clubs in every
agricultural district of the country, with
an annual congress of farmers composed
of one delegate from each club, would
have a tendency to counteract to some
extent the discouraging influence that
now threatens to overthrow the best in
tercsts Of agriculture. Their voice would
be heard in the councils of the nation,
their claims considered, and their griev-
ancos adjusted. Scattered as they are over
a large expanse of country, without or
ganization or cooperation, they feel
themselves powerless to counteract any
influence that is now working detrimen-
tally TO their interests. In unity there
is strength, and it is felt and acted upon
by every class of the community, save
the farmer, who, by force of circum-
stances, plods along the pathway of life
unaided and alone, a prey to every COM
bination that feeds and iattens upon his
industry.
