Moblev's Early Spring Stock is now coming in weekly in- - bailments, and is carefully selected and very handsome- Among the varied specialties in the new supply is the Embroidery selection, which includes all the late patterns. No dry goods man has kept a closer .watch on the market than Moblcy, and be buys wben goods are lowest, thus giving customers an advantage that it is difficult to secure everywhere. MoUey's store is between the two hardware stores, on the south side. Remember the place. m The most attractive place in the town for strangers is the wonderful store presided over by Tobe Smith. This establishment is located on the
smtbside of the square, and the quantity and variety of the goods there displayed ia so great and varied that it would be folly to attempt
their description. We will say, however, that no one should neg
lect to visit this house. Tobe Smith
has a well earned reputation as a repairer of watches, clocks, etc., and
if you have a valuable time-piece you should take it to bim when it needs repairs or cleaning. Yon

State Central Committee,
The State Central Committee of
the Republican party met at the New-Denison hotel in Indianapolis on Thursday evening last. Senator J. N, Huston, of Connersville, was unanimously elected chairman. D. N. Ransdell, of Indianapolis, was elected vice-chairman, L. L. Miohener, of Shelby ville, secretary, all by unanimous votes.
The creation of a treasurer and of
the executive and finance committees was postponed till the next meeting of the committee. On motion of W. F. Browning, of Bloomington, the following was adopted : Resolved, That it is the opinion of tins committee, and we believe it to be that of the party we represent in Indiana, that no appointment to a vacancy made by the removal of incumbent on charges should be confirmed until those charges b ave be un presented to tho Senate and investigated. Also, that in cases where charges have been made against appointees, they should not be confirmed until tho charges have been thoroughly investigated, to the end that the public service may not bo debauched by the appointment of bad or incapable men. No time was fixed for holding the next State convention. There was some informal talk about the time, but no definite action. The general sentiment was in favor of a late convention, nrobablv not earlier than
July or August. The basis of rep- i resentation in the convention was
fixed at one delegate for each 200
votes cast for Blaine and one dele
gate for each fraction of 100 in excess.
There was a eeneral discussion
of the prospects of the party in the coming campaign. It was felt that .1 i. jL. A.niin
tne dissensions in me ireuin. ranks and the dissatisfaction with President Cleveland's policy made Republican success extremely probable. Eich member of the committee reported the outlook in his
section of the State as encouraging.
