An Appeal from one
"Coming by every train," is the handsome Spring stock of Suitings, Hats, Underwear and Gents' furnishing goods. The especial attention of the customers ot Benj. McGee is directed to the Spring styles in Hats and Neckwear. The readymade garments for this Spring are very neat and handsome, and MoGee heads the procession in this line. It is hardly worth while to say anything about the Tailoring Department, as almost everybody knows that McGee is unapproachable as a cutter and fashioner. In matter of Shirts in various grades, this house cannot be excelled. good arrangement is that of J. K. Anderson & Co., who have a man in Chicago, picking np choice bargains, all the time, in staple
groceries, w nen sugars reacn tne
bottom he buys ; cofiees tne same way, etc The delivery wagon of this firm is kept going from early morning until late at night part of the week,for the customers of this house. It is a reliable house ; they
are pleasant men to trade with; their stock is fresh and prices low. "Old Farmer Corner" is the place, j
Spbing is here, and bo also, ie
the new stock at Charley Mobley'a,
the popular Fancy Goods dealer on the south side of the square. Each season Charley secures a more choice stock than the season before,
and this is especially time of the selection he has made for the
Sorine Trade of 1883. Some of
the hosiery, laces and ribbons are ezouisitely. beautiful, and 'the la
dies wiil have them if they once see them.
A LABQE and constantly incteas 1 - e 11
mg trade, is Deing enjoyed oy
Wilson, the .Progress clock grocers
He is selling bo many goods that orders are sent to wholesale dealers almost every day, and as a result
his stock is kept fresh and attract" ive. He has a large country trade,
Iso, and numbers among these
persons the best butter-makers in the county.
All seasons seem favorable for
Tobe Smith's trade. While other
classes of business languish, Tobe sells large quantities of useful articles from his five and ten cent counters. A .ten minute inspection will show any careful farmer or house
keeper, that there is money to be
made by picking up these bargains!
In silverware, and in gold jewelry, Smith leads the trade in Southern
Indiana. He has the goods, and any one who really desires to purchase, can always be suited. See

swarming in Southern Indiana. If a farmer mud have a lightning rod on his house, let him patronise his

On Monday night (March
19,) two dogs broke in upon a flock
of twenty-four fine yeaf ling lambs
belonging to John Dillroan, and
killed and injured 23 of the twenty-
four. Niue are dead at present

pected to die. The only redeeming
feature in the sad affair is that he saw and identified the dogs, followed them to the homes of
their owners, Messrs Wm. Whit

their consent freely given, gave tbem a dose of lead within two
hours after finding them among bis sheep. It is to be regretted

Some lover of cold facts has delved
into the mysteries of domestic econ
omy sixty of seventy years ago,
and developes some interesting
facts : In 1776 one buslrel of corn would buy one pound of nails. Then it required some twenty-eight
dozen of eggs to buy one bushel of salt. One dozen of eggs will do
the same thing. In 1816 it re
quired sixty-four bushels of barley to buy one yard of broadcloth. In
883 five bushels will buy it.
Then one bushel of wheat was
worth one yard of calico. Now
one bushel of whoat will buy twenty-five yards of a better article
n 1816 a pair of woolen blankets
1 a a
cost as mucii as a cow. A cow in
1888 will buy twenty pairs of
blankets, superior in every way.
