The large flouring mill of Wm. New & Son, on Railroad street, will close down for two weeks week after next.

We are informed that the trustees of Masonic Hall are making arrangements to procure new scenery throughout, and new settings for the stage. The time is ripe for such a change.

Hart's full Orchestra, of Indianapolis. will furnish the music. Messrs. Bragg, of the Guymon House, and Wiseheart & Jones, restau ranters, will serve supper and refreshments at. L. W. Goodings new business room on South State street. As the affair will incur heavy expense to the management, the boys should be well patronized.

Here's a temperencc lecture that has the merit of. being true: A New York Sun reporter met a man the other day, who, for years, ran a well-known, uptown grog-shop. "I've given up the business, sold out and quit for good." said the ex-saloon-keeper. "I couldn't .stand drunken men. Oh, I could handle thev.i all right—I wasn't, afraid of them, but the idea of taking so much money that deprives women and children of necessaries and comfoits was too much for 11 e. I used to see poor fellows who got ten and twelve dollars a week come in of a Saturday and blow in half of their earnings, and I knew that it meant distress for hard-working women and innocent children. I couldn't keep on taking their money, li broke me up

The merchants of some of the towns in Indiana are making a fight, 011 the Cheap John stores that go traveling over the country swindling the people. They are in favor oi: charging such fellows a heavy city license. They come into a town, open up a store, remain a few months aud then skip out.

Resi dent, merchants should be protected against f?uch vicious business by means of a. heavy city license.—Tipton Times.

The school during the past j'ears, under the snperintendeucy of Mr. AVill Glascock, has been very prosperous, awl has greatly increased in numerical strength.
