If you want good clothing at low figures, call and examine the large stock just opened out at Fendig’s. In the matter of supply, variety in styles, quality of goods, and low prices, Fendig can not be surpassed. All are invited to call, examstock and ascertain prices, before purchasing elsewhere. A new time-table took effect on the Monon route last Sunday. The changes in the times of the various trains passing Rensselaer are mostly slight. The morning passenger south now passes at 10:38, a. m., ten minutes earlier than before. The night train south passes at 10:31 p. m., or four minutes earlier than before. The afternoon train north passes at 4:53 p. m., or 15 minutes later than before. The early morning train north passes at 4:39 a. m., or 3 minutes earlier.

Charles F. Shroyer, stone-mason offers his services to all needing work in his line. Workmanship guaranteed. Charges reasonable. Orders addressed to him at either Rensselaer or Blackford will receive prompt attention. The Monon management are again talking very positively about moving their shops from New Albany to some more central location, and there is but little reason to doubt that the removal will soon be definitely decided upon. Crawfordsville and Lafayette are again exerting themselves to make the best offers for the shops, and the former city is said to have offered a large tract of bind and a bonus of $60,000 for the wot ks. The railroad editor of Ihe Indianapolis Journal inclines to the ojunion that neither Lafayette nor Crawfordsville are likely to get these shops, and that our neighboring town of Monon will come out ahead of her big rivals, in the end. The Journal says: “The rumor is revived that the L., N. A. & C. company is to build new shops, and the good people of Lafayette are again on the alert to secure them. The only objection to Lafayette securing the new shops is the fact they are not really on the L., N. A. &. C. main line. The Indianapolis or Airline division is the portion of the system that is coming rapidly to the front, and gives promise of being the big paying portion of the road. Therefore, it is quite likely that the management will, when they build shops, locate them at Monon.”

Special Invitation!—Everybody is respectfully invited to call and price my goods, and I will guarantee that out of every 25 customers 24 will be bound to buy of me, as I have reduced my entire stock to such prices that they will feel constrained to purchase unices they have money to throw away. — I mean business, and am determined to secure, by the above method, new friends. Do not be misled, but come at once and convince yourselves of the truth of this statement. Very respectfully,

A. LEOPOLD.

For extensive variety, quality of goods, and low prices, Ralph Fendig defies competition.
