SUCCESS I'M

In times past it was thought immodest to pro-
claim the excellence of ones goods. or to solicit
patronage for them in newspapers. During the
past twenty five years, through the immense
competition in trade. it has become q necessity.
The public are always anxious to learn of pro-
gress, but are equally desirOus to aS old all
frauds, as they have been humbugged by useless
wares until they have become skepticsl of an
article possessing genuie merit, and are particu-
larly prejudiced against startling announce
ments OF some new and wonderful medicine
without character or worth. Still the public are
grateful to manufacturers or inventors OF ar
ticles of merit, even il know" as medicines;
many Of them are the res"it OF years OF careful
sicians, and embrace such principles and pro-
auctions are Qulnine, Chloroform, Chloral
Hydrale, Porous Plasters, &c.
Success in advertising depends much upon the
intrinsic worth OF the article itself even though
it be q medical preparation. AS an evidence OF
this. a celebrated physician of New York made
q great improvement in Porous Plasters by add
ing CAPCINE on account of its giving ncleased
effect and quicker relief and cure than any
known medicinal property; he hesitated about
advertising, fearing his reputation would be in
jurei. A firm of Pharmaceutical Chemists in
his city learning of this decided Improvement,
made an arrangement with this physician and
commenced advertising in the best newspapers;
in u short time the sale increased from hundreds
to thousands until now the sale of BENSON'S
CAPCINE PLASTERS is exceedingly large and
daily increasing They can be obtained of any
Druggist at 25 cents each. may2O-lm

The Outlook of Lafayette County.

The people of Lafayette county begin to
breathe easier. The recent decision OF the
supreme court of tbs. United states has decreased
our county indebtedness more than three
hundred thousand dollars. and gives assurance
that in the last resort ''Odensss gilded hand
cannot stand by Justice" The political curmO-
rsnn whose only interest in the county ID to stun
theiI own ''carpet bsg'' with the hard esrnlnEs
of the people, NO longer have control of our
county affairs, and thanks to . merciful provi-
derce we no longer have any fears of that army
of insects that threatened US with starvation q
short time since. Our fields are waving cheer
fully with the prospect of an abundant harvest.
Our corn is planted and begins to grow with
promises of amply replenishing our yet un-
emphed cribs. Having had occasion recently
to travel through q considerable portion Of the
county, I have been astonished and gratifed
ct the indications of thrift and Improvement,
Notwithstanding the heavy burdens under which
We have been grooming. For the last ten years
our county has all the while been making rapid
strides in Improvement. The u~noccupIed virgin
soil has yielded to the enterprise Of our people
and became the beautiful and produc tive homes
Of Independent and thrifty farmers. But little
of OR beautiful prairie il lett unoccupied and
unimprovsd. Judicious men are we'll aware
that when cur local difaculties, which in the
nature of things must soon pass away, shall have
been removed, Lafayette county N to be
one ofthe banner counties Of the state. 1t is to
be hoped that our good citizens will not let their
patience fail them and sell their land ut 4 sacrifice.
There is light ahead. Let Us stand q little longer
in our lot, and do our duty at the polls, and that
light will soon break joyOusly upon us. Apurer
air already comes upon us from the seat of our
national government. The people in their
Hercukan strength will not longer tolerate the
Augear stink that has 30 long sickened and dis
graced the nation. A. q member Of the great
national body we will in due time feel the health
full glow of . purer national life. May the CEN
tennisl of our national existence, not only date
q new and glorious era in our history as = nation
but may each state and county in the United bu,
Sovereign States, feel the pulse Of . higher
aspiration from this time forward.

Colonel torsythe having placed the
Texas headquarters nj the disposal OF
a number OF business men rom Texas
now IN the city, a meeting Of gentle
men from the Lone Star State and
representatives Of different business
interests was held yesterday afternoon.
On the motion OF Colonel CS Mitch
ell, OF Dallas, Captain y. Il. Grove was
called to the chair, and he proceeded
to explain the object OF the meeting.
The representatives of the North Texas
Fair Association, Of Dallas had
arranged the meeting with u
view of systematically placing
before the exhibitors at the
st. Louis Fair the great advantage 10
result from transferring their entire
exhibits to the Dallas Fair Grounds
before the opening on the 23d of the

farms just opening and new farmers
lust arriving, Is five to one crater than
in any portion of the United States of
the same area of territory, and no.
where else on the American Cont
pent will there be as many wagons,
blows, reapera, mowers, threshers,
Rins, engines and other agricultural
implements and machines sOhi within
the next five years, ~ in Texas. We
remind the stock breeders that the
stock men of Texas are just awaken
ing to the fact that the Improvement
of their breeds is the best Investment
Of their money, and that already some
of the best sock OF the West is finding
its way there, and proving the most
remuneratiVe business, those invest
ing In it can find. To the mauufac.
turers of machinery he said that
the various railroads of the
State were extending their iron arms
still to the westward, gathering rich
trade into the laps of those who by
foresight and energy earned it. That
