Lively Stock Operations.

The current of recent events has
given great impetus TO business in
Wall street, and many successful turns
are reported where immense profits are
made in short periods. The most sue.
cessful way that we have heard of yet
for operating in stocks is by the Com
hinatinn Method of Messrs. Lawrence
& Co., Bankers, New York. By this
system thousands OF orders in vari 'us
sums are pooled into one vast capital
and operated under the most expert
enced and skilIful management, thus
securing to each shar, holder superior
advantages and profits, not possible in
any other way. Profits are paid at
the end of 80 days. A gentleman in
Boston, made $747 80 on an investment
OF 800. Many others are doing as well
or better Capital in any amount from
$40 to 800 900 can be used with equal
prOportiOnate success by this Combi-
nation or Co operative Method. SIS
would make SIS, or per cent on the
stock; 500 would return $780, or 9 per
cent. during the month, and so on,
according to the market The new
circular contains 1.-TWO unerriDg rules
for success and full information, SO
that any one can operate with profit.

An Important MedIcaI Event.

The institution heretofore known as
the Nash vile Medical College is now

officers OF the above named live and
flourishing institution of medical edu-

Trustees of the State University have
completed and formally ratified the
agreement constituting the Nashville

are being taken to make such additions
to the active and energetic Faculty
who have achieved such success liz the
past as will make this department
second to none in the country. The

From Beaver Ridge.
BEAVER RIDGE, Nav IA.

BEAVER RIDGE. May IA, 70.
Mr.. EDITOR: The farmers are
quite busy at this time, blowing over
their corn. Wheat is looking very
fine in this valley. We have some
very good farmers near this place !;
Mr.. Geo. Gallaher, Mr.. John Cox, Sol.
Garrison, Joe Detwiler, N. Yoder and
many others.
1t will pay any farmer who is not
using lime on his farm to come and see
Mr.. Joe Detwiler's or Mr.. n. Yoder's
wheat fields, where they applied lime
last fall, and see what q great differ
ence in the wheat sowed in the same
field the same day without lime. Also
Mr.. Dan. Carpenters farm, near this
place, where Mr.. Shafer lives, and see
where he applied lime to get set of
clover on thin land. You can see to
the very drill where he applied the
lime and where he did not.
Mr.. A. Hendrix, near this place, has
the best field of wheat for this time in
tue spring l have ever seen, it looks at
this time like it would yield from 20
to 80 bushels per acre. The farmers
all seem to be in fine spirits at this
time with the f1atteriDg prospect of
good crops.
Mr.. Editor, how long will it be un-
til the two great political parties of
this country quit quarreling about
things which are not worth anything
to the people OF this nation? Let us
quit that and go to work to pay our
honest debts and improve our country.
Let US send men to attend to our BUSH
ness who will look above such things.
l am truly glad that we have forgot
the old political difference in this part
of the country and go to work to
build good churches aud schOOl-hOuses
and improve our farms.
We want you to come out and see
what our farmers are doing, and as
you come along by that splendid nurs-
cry of Bird, Dew & Co, stop and see
Capt, Bob. Dew or Mr.. Geo. Bird, and
learn how to raise fruit trees and see
what nice business they have.
In the last few weeks / have re-
ceived quite a number of letters from
parties from Ohio and Indiana asking
about this country. I am requested to
send copies Of your paper, and I am
sending all that L can get.
We are having some land sales in
this neighborhOod. Capt. w. NJ.
Coward, of Anderson county, bought
the Hackney Mill property O short
time since.
We had quite hard hail storm just
below US to-day and q very hard rain.

Positively the Last Time.

Mr. EDITOR: The reply of Ralph
to my last article on the butter ques
ton seems to make it necessary
should say a word more, but posi-
lively the last time.
was mistaken as to who my an
tagonist was, supposing him to be s
we'll known gentleman of this city, s
special friend and successful bust
ness man. He turns out to be 8
clever young gentleman from the
country, a fair writer and certainly
an earnest defender of the b2tter
makers. l admire his zeal, and APP
preciate and commend his frank way
in dealing with the matter. Really
we have differed but little, and still
less as we have prosecuted the dis
cussion. He thinks l ought to be
candid enough to admit that the
dealers and consumers of our city,
the former of whom he calls nv
"pets," are in part to blame for the
mean butter brought to market. This
| can't do without stultifying my
convictions, and, besides, such an ad-
mission would be at war with all the
known laws governing trade. Pro
ducts of every kind fix their own
status in the markets, and are sold
according to their quality. A good
article, no matter what it is, will
command the top of the market-an
inferior one, not so much. Prices
regulate themselves according to the
quality of the product and the guam
tity on the market. Hence dealers
and consumers, as we'll as producers,
are obliged to yield to this memorable
law of supply and demand. have
no disposition to cover up fraud on
the part of dealers and consumers,
and claim to be too just 20 charge
them with it when feel they are not
guilty. OF course 1 admit they try
to buy as low as they can, just as
producers try to sell as high as they
can. This rule works both ways
and both are guilty if there be guilt
in it.
"Ralph" intimates that it would
nave Deen SquaIIy times with me had
made my appearance among our
air countrywomen just after the ad-
vent of my first communication on
miserable butter" Possibly; but
after more mature reflection they
would not be so inconsiderate, sure
y, as to fly into my hair for telling
,he truth. Many of them are excel
ent butter makers, but many of
hem, / must say, are triumphantly
successful in manufacturing an ar
5icle unworthy of them and which
has been a stumbling block in the
way of their more fortunate sisters.
Perhaps these would pull my hair if
they could get hold of me, but I'm
too smart to place that useful orna-
ment in their way.

THE

pdpoI'
The DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
BY enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not a Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS a newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
fearless, reliable Repub
Iican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLY
WING AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
