life. The last quarter was in O:29% and the
time Of the mile was 1884. There was q

What Advertising Costs.

People who think that advertising IS
not the foundation Of Big fortunes will
f nd food Tor reflection in the following.
John Wanamaker pays over $1,000
a day just for advertising his Philadel-
phia store. He uses a page a day in
five daily newspapers in that city.
They are as follows: Press, $50. 1000;
Ledger, $6o.ooo; Times. S5o,ooo;
The North American. $4,000 and
Evening Telegraph, $4,000. Up to
a few months ago Mr.. Wanamaker
was using a page in the Record at the
rate of $751; 500 a year, which would
have made an annual expenditure Of
1892, 500. When he wanted to renew
his advertising contract with the Re
cord. the publishers asked $4,000.
more Mr.. Wanamaker refused to pay
the amount. thinking no n else would
pay that sum for the page. The pro-
position was made to Lit Brothers,
who accepted the contract without a
moments hesitation and they are now
paying the enormous sum Of $ll2,5oo
for the use Of the page for one year.

OLD TIMES IN TENNESSEE.
Decidedly Primitive Conditions There a
Century Ago.

Decidedly Primitive Conditions There a
Century Ago.
Probably few people know that the
original name of the State of Ten
nessee was Franklin, or that in 1888
the salaries of the officers OF this
commonwealth were paid in pelts,
but the following is correct copy
of the law:
BE it enacted by the general as
sembly of the State of Franklin, and
it is hereby enacted, by authority OF
the same. that from and after the
first day of January, 1888. the salar-
les of this commonwealth be as fol-
lows, to-wit:
ellis excellency. the governor, per
annum, 100 deerskins.
Ellis honor, the CHIEF justice, 500
deerskins.
The secretary to his excelle1cy,
the governor, 500 raccoon skins.
County clerk, 800 beaver skins.
"Clerk of the house of commons,
200 raccoon skins.
Members of the assembly, per
diem, raccoon skins.
ssJustice's fee for serving war
rant, l mink skin.
At that time the State Of Franklin
extended to the east bank OF the
Mississippi river, and on the west
bank was that great unknown forest
region of Louisiana. 1t was then a
terra incognita," save few canoe
landings and Italian trading posts
on the river banks. 1t was known
as the district of Louisiana, and in
1905 was made the territory OF
Louisiana.
The State of Franklin, which be-
came Tennessee in 1896, was almost
as little known. The now great City
of Memphis was mere trading post,
and was not laid out as village un-
til 1920.
Pelts were as plentiful in those
days as pennies, and much better
distributed for purposes of currency
and barter. The pioneers were per-
haps as happy and as we'll contented
as is the average citizen now.
