Profitable stock investments.

Before Messrs. Lawrence & Co., the
New York bankers, inaugurated the
com bination system of operating in
stocks, it was often very difficult for
mex perienced operators, or even old
stagers, to deal profitably by their
single handed ventures. Now the field
is open to every one for successful OPP
erations, and capital in any amounts,
from $40 to $50 900, can be used with
equal proportionate profit. Instead of
dlstracting efforts among many Gus
toners, the orders of thousands are
concentrated into one vast pool ami
co-operated for the benefit of all, divi
ding profits pro rata every month. A
prominent citizen of San francisco
made 81 264.83 from an investment of
$500 last month. Other customers are
doing better still, $25 pays $l25 during
the month, 5000 returns 81 200, or 6
per cent. on the stock. and so on as
the market moves. New circular con-
tains 1.-TWO uEerring rules for success"

of unlimited capital and careful man

Normal school.

CONCORD, July s. 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR: The machinery is
we'll oiled this morning and runs
smoothly, rejecting great credit on
our engineer, F. NJ. Smith, who re-
turned from Knox vile last night. 1t
is largely owing to his exer tioDs that
we are now enjoying the benefits of
the Normal School. It is questioned
by some few of the county as to what
are the benefits of the Normal School.
In the first place, it is raising the
standard of the public school system,
thereby excluding incompetent teach
ers. It is already demonstrated that
those who have not patronized this
institute are already falling behind in
their scholarly attainments and eff
cheney in the school room. Progress
is our watchword.
We are all regretting that Prof.
Joynes is unable to be present this
evening. G..

To the Business Men of Kuoxvill,

10 the Business Men of Knoxville.
I feel assured you will not charge
me with improper motives in address
ing you this communication. 1t is
with reference to reyiving the Eastern
Division Fair. This can be done at q
nominal outlay on your part, so insig-
nificant, indeed, that you will not feel
it, while the advantages, both to your
selves and to the country at large, will
far outweigh the outlay. These ad-.
vantages I need not mention as they
are apparent. What propose is, that
you advance one thousand dollars by
the first of October next, to be left in
hands of three or five gentlemen of
your own selection, whose duty it
shall be to disburse it in the erection
of plain, substantial building Oh the
State property, the construction of
stock sheds, and repairing the fence.
This is all the money asked for, and
with this amount the Fair can be sue
cessfully inaugurated. There are par
| ties ready to take ,-old Of it, and will
| assume all other liabilities.
Are there not one hundred of you
who will advance ten dollars each :?
This will make the one thousand dol
lars asked for. Who will respond?
