Chattanooga.

A travelling correspondent Of the
Press and Herald seems TO DO rather
favorably impressed with the Chat.a'
noogians:
About the first thing they 10 Is to
show youa map Of the city, and then
take you upon an exceedingly high
mountain, where much 10 seen with the
natural eye, aud much more by faith.
They then talk 10 YOU of Chattanooga
and Pittsburgh, in such manner that
you hardly know whether they expect
Chattanooga to be the Pittsburgh Of the
South, or Pittsburgh the Chattanooga
of the North. A perfectly sober man
might understand them, II they would
talk slow enough. The average Chat
tanoogian has this advantage over the
stranger: he does not doubt for one
moment that everything no argues aud
hopes for the place will come to pass.
For one, trust that this plucky little
city may have the largest prosperity.

The Country Press.

Every days experience confirms the
statement of the American Journalist
that you can reach the country trade
and public much cheaper and far more
eflectually by advertising in the stand,
ard papers Of the country than by other
means. The money invested in expen.
sive cards and costly circulars is capital
sunk, and we entertain serious doubts
OF any one ever having secured Gus
toner by the newfangled givo-aways,
or glittering gewgaws so lavishly dis
tributed by hashy tradesmen.
The weekly newspaper is after all the
most advantageous medium Cor the city
dealer to reach the country customer
it is read from the topmost line in the
left hand corner of its title.page TO the
end letter Of the final word on the last
page, and we would observe that the
advertisements are as carefully read,
and not unfreqnently longer borne in
remembrance than the more edifying
contents Of the paper. 1t is safe to as
sume that the country paper Ia read by
an average Of ten persons to each sub
scrber; il is retained in the house Of
the economic farmer or mechanic from
week to week as a matter Of reference
unless loaned 10 the less thrifty neigh
Dor, who ia too mean to take q paper
and too sensible to do without it when
he can obtain il hY loan or lhe(t.
