Advertising I'M DIM Times.

The hilwaukt Wisconsin, relates the
following;
After the crash OF 81, when every
body was almost scared 10 death, and
the Croakers predicted that the country
had gone TO smash, a dry goods house
was opened in this city which proceed
ed on the principle that in order TO
reach the boarded money in the pockets
of the people, the proprietor must sell
at very reasonable prices and advertise
very largely. They worked vigorously
upon this principle, Their brother mer-
chants who did not advertise, predicted
thar Jhc new cemers would be ruined, a.
they paid too much for advertising
Nevertheless they persisted. In single
year thcy paid i've hundred dollars in
gold ga the daily Wisconsin for 2dver-
Using, and in seven years they retired
from business with a fortune of one
hundred Thousand dollars, while other
merchants on the same street, some Of
them opposite their store, had failed"

ADVANCE Payment.

The Atlanta Constitution says: Pay
ments in advance Is the only sensible,
sober and just principle upon which a
newspaper can be conducted, and he
who discards il with the Utopian idea of
keeping up his circulation, is follow
ing n igHius JdtuuS that will surely lure
him TO his ruin. Ii is a great mistake,
too, TO suppose that the cash principle
win result in the loss of subscribers.
Besides its safety under all circumstan-
ces, those VINO have tried it eflectually
and stuck 10 il faithfully, making no en-
ceptions, have prospered most. When
once established as a rule both publish
cr and subscribers see its advantages
and are mutually satisfied. And, in
point of fact, il is best for both. They
know where they stand there is moth
ing To be adjusted between them, and
their relations are both pleasant and
profitable.

viOus meeting were read and received.
The following new members were re
ceivcd: Jas. McGee. L. 7. Dyer, Jas.
r. Scales, Rev. j. Il. Anderson making
30 regular members. The Association
then entered upon the consideration Of
the regular subject which had been con-
tinUed from the last meeting: ''Ihe
best method of teaching Spelling and
Reading"
The essay of Capt. Campbell opened
the discussion. Col. Alternately, Mr..
Nancy. Mr.. d. a. Mcknight, Col. Rog-
ers, Mr.. Dwyer, Rev. J. r.. Anderson,
Or. Gardner, Capt. Garrett, Mr.. Nor
wood and others took part in the dis
cusSiOn which followed. Different
views were presented, and different sys-
TENS advocated by the speakers. Black
boards and textbooks We're called into
requisition, and classes OF the teachers
were placed on recitation, 10 illustrate
the different methods. The teachers
generally agreed that in teaching spell
ing and reading their sHeeess with their
scholars had never been satisfactory 10
themselves.
The Executive committee announced
us the subject for discussion at the next
meeting, "The best methods OF teach
ing Arithmetic" and appointed W. +.
Garrett as eSsayist.
The Association then adjourned 10
