The Way to Advertise.

Mr.. James H. Laughran, of this
city, yesterday showed US a copy Of
the Norfolk (Va.) AdUocatc, contain
ing a whole page advertisement of
Jno. B. Laughran's great three story
instalment house in that city. Jno.
B. is brother of Messrs. ]. H. and
Frank Laughran, of this city, and is
the pioneer installment merchant in
the Southern States. By his plane
man can buy suit of clothes,
furniture, house furnishing goods,
or almost anything else he wants by
paying one dollar per week until
the entire amount has been Caid.
Such a house would do a big busi-
ness in Asheville. and we are sur
priEed that such an enterprise has
not been established in this city be-
fore. There is money in it. Mr.
I.aughran is Master Workman OF
the Norfolk Assembly K. of L., and
che Advocate says: =: HE is typi-
cal working man and a noble friend
of the cause of labor. He has
built himself up and made trade
for himself that defies competition,
because he makes it practice to be
just and fear not. He is:affable ana
courteous, and when any one goes
/ to the Pioneer Instalment Temple"
to buy they get the worth of their
money. and the satisfaction of deal
ing with a good man." The secret
of Mr.. Laugran's success lies, in a
large measure, to the fact that he
believes in judicious advertising.
No merchant who advertises safely
and wisely has need to fear insolV.
ency and the sheriff.

Heavy on Sam.

The Columbia correspondent o.
the Charleston NeuUs and Courier
writes ON the 18th concerning Rev.
Sam Jones:
"Sam Jones addressed very
large congregation at the Washing
ton Street Methodist Church this
morning. His discourse was no
more lecture than it was a sermon,
and was fully as vulgar and often
sive as his lecture at the Opera
House last nioht Much oF1
WIS devoted to ridculing What he
declared to be the peculiarities OF
various denominations, and he was
so insulting as to disgust number
of his hearers. People must have
pretty strong stomachs to digest the
sort of spiritual food which this al.
legged preacher has offered to Co,
lumbia."
Mr.. Jones must have used some
very strong language to have evoked
such severe criticism.
