THE "HOBOE" ADVERTISEMENT.

An Advertising Scheme of a Former

Period.

The scheme of a ciaar maker of this city to attract attention to a new brand of cigars termed "Hoboes." made by him by sending postal card? to many citizens informing tbem that a large number of Hoboes had started for Orawtvirdsville, and asking that they be given a "warm" reception, failed to excite any particular interest aB that system of advertising is somewhat old. it, however, brought up in remembrance a scheme somewhat similar enacted in Crawfordsville some twelve years ago, and which for a few days created considerable excitement and fear, as well as anger among a goodly number of citizens favored with postal cards. An eastern cigar man was the manufacturer of a cigar termed the "Mystic League" which he desired introduced to the smoking public. With this object in view he shipped several hundred of the cigars to Moffett & Booe, the druggists, accompanied with about 1,500 postal cards, which were divided into three series of 500 each. The first 500 were sent through the post office, being mailed at night, to that many different individuals, and containedjwith the date the short sentence: "Beware! The Mystic League has its eye on you." The reception of these postal cards created terror among many of the recipients of them. Coming out of the post office many could be Been with blanched cheeks and looks of fear in their countenances. A number quietly purchased revolvers, determined to hazzard their lives if that "d League" interferred with them. A few persons left town for a season giving

DO

notice of when they would return. Still others could be heard making inquiries about bis "Mystic League Society," and bravely asserting that they had done no wrong and would die right here if they had to. In about a week the several series of postal cards were sen, through the office, containing the words "Aggin we warn you,the Mystic League has its eye on you." This only added agony to that already endured by many over the matter, while others probably clinched the revolvers that much more strongly and quietly awaited the result of the "League." In about a week more the tidal explosion came by the reception of the third and last series of postal cards, which contained the words,

The Mystic League Cigar can be found at Moffit & Booe' drug store."

GROUND PURCHASED

'I'm

And a New Flour Mill Soon to. be

Erected Near the Honon Depot.

On behalf of the business mens' orionization, of tbis city, and the Monon railway company, ground was purchased a few days ago upon which a large flouring mill is, this year, to be erected. The ground is located on the north-'1•'(! side of the short street running east from the Lyle & Reynolds' foundry, and upon which two or three Bmall buildings are at present located. The price paid for the ground, we understand, was 82,500. If this is correct it is remarkable that the committee did not select the Gregg property, on which the Brown & Watkins mill formerly stood, as we understand it could have been purchased for the same price, and is much more convenient of access. However that n-ay be a matter of small moment hereafter. The mill will be operated by John Bickhart, of Warsaw, who will move here soon. Work on the building will begin next month and finished within four months. It will be a mill aDd elevator combined, and will be three stories in higth.
