Som.,h,ng for BOYS to Read.

Mr.. j. j. Bumpus, from Shillitoe's
natl, spent several days in town a few
weeks ago, the guest of Mr.. :. w
Anderson. Mr.. Bumpus, we suppose,
presents one of the most forcible exam
pies ot success secured by constant
effort, properly directed, that has ever
come under our observation, and we
feel i; hut II duty We owe to our boy
readers especially, Ia say that six years
ago Mr.. Bumpus applied for and Sc
cured a position at Shillitoe's, IN Gin
cinuati. The position was salesman of
the commOnest fabrics, salary about
fouT dollars per week, board fifteen dol
lars per month. Few of our boys and
Young meu hut would have TUNED up
their noses at such IA proposition. Not

his own eXertions, aud conscious of
being able To attain To positions that
others had reached, he started with
three hundred men between him aud
the top, to reach which the following
plans were formed and the following
habits adopted: Constant aud untiring
study of the business, total abstinance
from all Intoxicating drinks, truthful
and honorable in all business transac-
tions, uniformly polite and courteous To
all. With these maXims he started tO
win. Ia few months he was pro-
one year he stood half way up the line
aud in two short years he stood at
The top and occupied the highest posi-
ton among the salesmen in this, the
largest dry goods house in the country,
and to-day draws IA larger salary, ,(away
up in the thousandsl sells more goods,
is the most honored, enjoys the conf
dence of more people le-especially mer-
chants more friends, is the most
courteous, and at the same time the
most independent and dignified gentle
man that you will find probably in the
commercial circles OF this or any other
country.
What IA commentary upon industry
and moral worth. Six years ago com
non clerk on salary of four dollars a
week, to-day head salesman in the big
gest house in The country, with II trade
that commands any salary, almost,
that he may demand, with name and
reputation of which any man might

SPEAKING ofex-SenatorM Me- Creary.
one of the most remarkable natural
orators whom Kentucky ever pro-
duced, the Washington correspondent
of the \. Y World SAYS that once
in year he would stand up in the
Senate and deliver a speech perfectly
classical in its English and wonder
fully eloquent. The Senator had a
stately dignity about him that Was
thoroughly in harmony with his ele-
giant and stately sentences and re-
sounding periods. His voice was
once aptly described by Senator In
gals as ''full. rich, hog and hominy
voice" Whenever he spoke he al
ways had the rapt attention of the
Senate. Once a year, however, was
quite enough for him. He remained
inert and Indifferent during the re-
inainder of the year after he had
spoken"

PROSPECTUS.

During the past few months the de-
mand for the Post has greatly increased
in the country, It's popularity being par
ticular.y marked In the interior of Ken
tucky, Tennessee and Indiana. Some
difficulty has been presented, however,
because it could not reach remote sec
tiOns as soon after publication as was
desired, owing to the existing regula-
tions that control the movement OF
trains, while in other sections il has en-
jOyed advantages over the morning
papers IN this respect, and we have
been enabled tn furnish IA portion of our
subscribers with the latest news from
twelve to fifteen hours iu advance OF
our contemporaries. In order to meet
the difficulty suggested We have deter
mined TO issue "A SEMI-WEEKLY edition,
which will contain carefully selected
news matter, fW and accurate reports
of the markets and other features which
cannot fail To render u attractive and
almost Indispensable to the farmers,
merchants and to the general reader of
the interior. We are enabled, toe, to
furnish this interesting edition to sub
scribers in any part of the country for
only
81 20
rer annum. The cheapness of the
SENII-WEEKLY PosT should cause no
one to detract from its merits. The day
for high-priced newspapers has passed.
We have found that the cheaper the
paper the more readers il has and the
mole its columns are sought by adver-
tisers.
