The Gorernor,s Message .

Gov. TaylOr's message, barring the
sphomoric platitudes and the effort
to boom certain state officials, is a
very creditabIe state paper; and saw
ing the proposition to fund Mrs
Folks bonds at par. his suggestions
are nearly all good ones. The special
GOOD features are his accommodations
for the removal of the penitentiary,
the fostering care for charitable insti-
buttons, and the upbuilding of the
public schools. All these the legisla-
ture would do we'll in the main to fol-
low. The suggestions emanating
from the American Bar Association
looking to uniformity of legislation in
the several States relating to marriage
and divorce, insolvency, nOtOrial
certificates, descent and distribution
and wills, are matters of grave inn
portance, well worthy the serious
consideration of the body. The
Governor recommends liberal
appropriation to the confederate
Soldiers Home, in the following Ian
guage, every word Of which we hearth
ly endorse;
"OuP Legislature has little oppor-
tunity to be generous to these suffer
ing and dec?epit heroes OF the Lost
Cause, and the most liberal aid you
can give them would be but sGant re-
Spouse to the sacred obligation that
rests upon the State and those of us
who are able TO shield Them from
want and privatiOn in their help
Iessness and old age. We have been
contenJed too long to feed them upon
talk and clothe them with praise, and
it is time now to stifie their cries with
bread, instead of blaPney. The rot
ting head-bOards in our cemeteries
cry piteously to us to shield the
mutiiated and unshfouded occupants
from oblivion, but while we revere
their memory and love them for the
blood they shed, could they speak
from their graves they would implOre
US to leave them unmarked and let
their names perish, il that be neces-
sary, to secure relief and consolation
to their orphans aud their limping
comrades. The Federal Government
has appropriated hundreds of millions
to pension its soldiers, their widows
and orphans, tn preserve and beautify
the graves of those who fell, and to
provide homes for those who are
destitute; but these brave men, our
kindred and friends, who lost property,
health and thousands of them their
lives under the folds of the bloody
cross, have no strong arm of govern
ment to shield them in their ola age,
no treasury to sustain them in their
poverty, and no public fund exists
with which to preserve from oblivion
the graves OF those who died. The
State, at whose call to arms the gal
liant responded, should at least sup
plement the noble efforts of the few
generous citizens who are seeking to
alleviate their sutferings and smooth
a pillow for their weary heads"

that leads him to treat visitors to his
store so that they will call again, let
him write his advertisement so that
mis- merit advertisement will be looked
for; if you get a persons attention
once try to hold it. The whole thing
is summed up in this: One should
study advertising as he does every
other department of his business.
Advertising is science, simple, 1t Is

Almost like yachts they look, COM

for some of Great Britain's strongest and
most terrible sea-monsters are gathered
in the harbor, lying on the water as if
in slumber, quiet and tranquil enough
now, but ready to awaken at their mis-
tress' bidding, and vomit forth death
and devastation from their steel-clad
sides,
Close to our ship is the Arson; on the
other side the huge Benbow, with mas
sive black hull and white, fortress-like
superstrpcture, points the muzzles of
her enormous guns over tho tops OF the
turret-like barbettes on her decks, fore
and aft, while from the ports in her
sides the cannons of her batteries peer
menacingly outward. A fringe of davits,
from which here and there a boat is
hanging, runs on both sides of her upper
deck, and her tall military mast, tho
tops bristling with machine guns, tapers
aloft amidships. The Arson flies the
flag of the Read Admiral; on
her quarterback scarlet-cOated white
helmeted marines are drawn up,
and the band is playing; along
side of her some boats are
lying. Further out in the bay the Iron
Duke has shaken out her topsails, and
the canvas droops from the long yards
in graceful folds, while from her bows
to aft Of her main-mast the white elOths

The harbor is alive with rowboats and
launches of all kinds. Yonder, glancing
like a fish half emerging from the
water, comes a small, queerly shaped
craft. Circling with astonishing rapid
ity around our ship for a moment, it
darts off suddenly, and, with swish
and quick splash, something drops from
its side. A moment later dull report,

HOW to Advertise.

The question of method in adver-
Using is one having infinite range.
The matter is one OF the very first inn
pOrtance, and cannot be too carefully
studied. One thing about it that may
be set down as true is that eveIy
mans advertising, in its language
aud style, should be chdrdctertstic-
characteristic of the man, character
istie of his stock, characteristic of his
commercial position, For every man
has his peculiarities of development.
When he speaks we know it is he,
though we may not be looking at him,
and his advertisement should repre-
sent him like his voice. He should
put his experience, his industry, his
enterprise, into his advertising. 1t
is astonishing to see how merchants
who are tireless in their industry-at
the store early aud late, close buyers,
eager seekers after business, quick to
embrace opportunities for enlarge
ment of lines and eX; tension of trade
it is surprising to see how such busi-
ness men continue their advertising

THE Persons trial has been engrOss-
ing the attention Of Memphis for the
last two weeks. The verdict of the
jury makes of the trial a waste of
money and time and veritable farce.
The defendant was charged with kill
ing his wife; the defense was that
che committed suicide. There was
no attempt at justification or mitiga-
ting circumstances. The proof all
showed and the lawyers on both sides
argued, that it was one of two things
either suicide or murder most foul.
And yet the jury-cOmposed of that
unc ,mbed and strikingly pictures
que type of the genus homo who
never stray far enough from home to
hear what is going on in the world,
and think little change snapped for
n newspaper is a dead waste of money
