What is Advertising The art of making

ers have wants. tits your interest to fill
the wants with the wares-to bring pro-
duccr and consumer, tradesman and pur-
chaser, together. This is what signs are
for, tastefully arranged store windows and
the like They are to captivate the eye
The eyeis the sentinel of the will. Capture
the sentinel and you carry the will. Impress
the senses and you move the choice. The
feet follow the eyes. See how they pause,
for instance, at the fine show windows and
how they coyet what is in it. Some of them
step in and inquire the price others step in
and buy, not because they need the article,
but because they had the money about them,
and because the winning window won it
away from them.
This is what an advertiser assaults, first and
last ofall, the eyes. 1t is in vain to reason
with your customers. Customers do not
reason, do not arrive at n purchase by the
slow method of military approaches" i'm
PEELED by an elaborate ratiocnaton, but
carry the coveted commodity by sudden
assault, pricked up to it by the indomitable
bayonets of the artists in advertising.


1t is this untiring, unremitting, everlast-
ing, acknowledgements appeal to
the eyes of the people who want their hair
to grow, by the people who have something
for sale which they say will make the hair
grow, that carries the day, splatters the hair
tonics over innumerable scalps, and puts
fortunes in the bank to the credit of the
advertiser


This is the way to do it. Have good ar
ticle, an article that will do good, and then
stick 1t at them. Hit them in the face with
it, slash them over the eyes with it. Thisis
the art OF advertising


There isproof on every hand that there is
money in advertising. But it can only be
got out by "pegging away" The first and
chief any almost the only, qualification for
a asuceessfnl advertiser is pertinacity.


There is only here aud there one in any
branch ofimoney-making that loomsJup and
nils thepublic eye, and monopolizes the pub
lie purse. These are they who understand
the art OF advertising, and appreciate the in
ulsputanie fact that the way to make money
ont ofadvertising is to stick toit.


To make advertising pay, it must be stuck
to with all the pertinacity that is indispensa.
Bile to success in the prosecution of every
|other art. There are some men in this conn.
try who spend iiftythousand, and Others who
'spend one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
per annum for advertising. And every one of

One Of our Radical friends was present in
the Supreme Court yesterday during the ar
gument Of an important case, in which Gen.
BUTLER and other eminent lawyers were Of
counsel, and he says that while he sat there
lin that good old room where the atmosphere
itself is redolent Of constitutional law) he
thought how absurd it is in this progressive
age, when Congress holds oil the power Of
the Government, to waste SO much study
and learning upon the played out" notions
Of such old fogies as MARSHALL, STORY, ETC.
And our Radical friend says that unless the
decisions Of the Supreme Court can be pre-
revised by the caucus Of the dominant party
in the House Of Representatives where the
will Of the people is manifested) the cum
brous old court machine should be swept
away, and the ponderous volumes Of the law
library be ground over and reconstructed
into paper to be used in printing the Morn

Status of the Republican Party.


The New York Times is quite right
when it says:


"Thc political history ofthe past two
years has been little more than record
Of the triumphs of what was originally
the Abolition Party, and which has
since become the ultra absolutist ele-
ment in the Republican Party. This
element has driven that party from the

another, each more "adyanccd' an(t
extreme than its predeccssor--cver
since that time. Where this movement
is to stop, or whether it is to stop at
all, is matter of conjecture. If it does
stop it will be from compulsion and not
from choice


1t depends upon the good sense of
the American People when and where
it shall stop, or whether it will stop at
al. The history of the Republics in
the old world have been splendid fail
ures,--but in this new world of ours
we had hoped that a Republic founded
upon a liberal and writ en Constitution
would not fail. We hope SO still, dark

At the risk Of firing our readers with


repetition of advice we have otter


given, we will again ask all persons who


write anything for this paper to be
more careful in their othography, and
punctuation, if not their etymology.--
1t is unkind to the editor to force him
to consume his time in going over your
manuscript in order to puh-tuate it and
correct the spelling. The printers, who
are not always themselves prepared to
judge in this matter, will follow copy,
even, as they say, "ir it goes out the
window" Then the public will, nine
times in ten, blame the editor. Even
writers themselves find excuse for their
own ignorance or carelessness by say
ing errors are Typographical" They
seem to think that all they must do is
to write their ideas, and send them to
the editor and expect them to appear
sail right in print, just as the miller
expects grain, when put in the hopper,
to come out prepared for the making
of bread. But there is a difference in
the grinding ola mill and the setting Of
type. Ifyou cannot punctuate prop
erly, don't punctuatc at all, but leave it
to the printer, and he will bc saved more
than half his trouble. Only make your
and your periods, and spell
your words right. And remember that
words sounded alike are not always
spelt alike.


Some Of our best spealers--our
big men, would do well to take the
hint. We are tired Of being blamed for
the faults Of others.

The Radicals say the late members of
the rebel army and cause ought not to
dictate terms to the successful party.
We suppose if a man is being beaten,
numerically, to death by powerful
antagonist, the sufferer might very ap-

ton. Self preservation is the first law

Correspondence Of the Union and Dispatch.
THoMPsoN's STATION, Tenn, Dec. %, '67.
Mr.. EDIToRF Years do not creep
slowly by but once again We are upon
the eve OF Christmas. In "days of old' it
was a pleasure 10 US TO see the 25th OF
December drawing nigh, especially when
We we're an urchin delivering the Unioa and
american TO lis city Subscribers, but, oh,
how different now. In the city you may
not see the canse Of change in the good
old times" You people in town expect TO
get pay for what you do, or propose TO do,
before the work is really done--a good
meflo. But how different are We who
expect to till the soil for living. We are
at an outlay from the first day of January
until our crops have been put into the
market, and at the present market rate of
our products We can hardly realize eur
outlay.


For the year Just closing I do not know of
a farmer who will make q cent. 1t will be
remembered that large amount of ground
was put in cotton this year, and we do not
know Of single Individual who will come
out even in his cotton raising, while the
crops of other descriptions have been
almost a failure, and in this strait of affairs
it can be said we are almost out of "spon-
dulix."


The amount Of land planted in cotton
this year gave employment to large nuns
? Der of negroes; but as the raising of this
staple will be greatly diminished, if not
entirely abandoned, on account Of the low
prices Of cotton, and the desire to plant
small grain, we will have a large number
of this class of people next year without
employment.


This year the negro had all the advan-
tages that he could desire, and we do not
know ola single instance in our neighbor-
hood where q negro has not come out in
debt from amounts averaging from S25 to
$780, In speaking of negroes who have
come out in debt, we only speak of those
who were farming for themselves. The
people of this county, / believe, would
raise cotton another year, but the negro,
with starvation staring him in the face, is
not willing TO work for any one. The
negro is to day in a worse condition than
he was previous to the late war, and God
knows that the people of the South are not
responsible for it.


The "Ku Klux X Ian" have been in these
quarters lately, but as yet they have done
nothing. We know nothing Of their de-
