DIED

Little Maggie, daughter ol Jolia A. and Becky J. Weed, departed this life Friday morning, Jan. 2.2, 1892, at twelve mi nates past one. She was born iu Rush county, Jan. 31, 1880, and died aged 11 years, 11 months and 22 days.

She has been a sufferer of catarrh of the head since two years old, but her death was unexpected and a shock to many. She was unconscious at the time of her death, but the day before she died she expressed a wish that Kate, or some of her little friends would come and die with her.

Funeral Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock in t.be Presbyterian church, conducted by Eld. E. S. Conner, pastor of the Christian church. Text, Luke, viii, 52. Sobbing hearts and streaming eyes paid tribute alike to his eloquence and to th merits of the departed. About one year ago she united with the M. PI church and was a member of that Sunday-school for some time but as most of her little girl friends attended the Presbyterian Sunday-school, and in order to be with them, she IIMS aitended the last named school for ijiiUe a while. She was a member of Mrs. Steele's class, who acted as pall-bearers. The teacher and class deposited their floral offering in the casket as th*y viewed the remains for lue last time. The day-school of Maggie's room presentod a nice design of flowers. Her most intimate little friends brought a beautiful bouquet for her hand. She will be missed by these young companions with whom her gentle manners and loving words and deeds have left food for tender regret. Missed by all those sympathizing friends to whom she was endeared, and missed, oh! so badly missed by those fond parents and loving brothers aud sisters who will listen in vain for the loved voice and look with sad yearnings toward the vacant chair. The little life has gone out into the great beyond, yet they can not but feel that their cherished flower has been transplanted to a clime of nevei'-ending summer, where its bloom cau sever fade nor its eternal beauty decay.

If hope renchcd not beyond the tomb, And took strong hold above, Life's journey would be one of gUam,

With scarce a thought of love.

Bin God in mercy shows the way, Our weary foet to take And hope and faith will crush the thorns,

That doubt and fear may make. May you ach one live to meet her. The family circle is not complete the household chain is broken but God cau clasp each link in heaven again.

The immediate friend* of the deceased desires the writer to say that words can not express the gratitude they feel toward those who have been so ready with their acts of kindness and words of consolation during their bitter trial.

There is a reaper whose name is death, And, with his sickle keen, lie reaps the bearded grain at a breath,

And the tlowers that grow between.

Shall I have nanght that is fair? saith he. Have naught but the bearded grain? Though the breath ol the flowers is sweet to me, 1 will give them all back again.

RAMBLER

TAKES A PEEP AT THE BUSINESS ENTERPRISES

AT FORTVILLE,

And Gives a Synopsis of Her Lead-

ins Business Houses.

The standing of a city or community is gauged by the wide awake men it contains. If they are few, enterprise, morality and intelligence are at a discount. If they are many, progress is with them ahd their town gains the reputation of being rapidly advancing in wealth, population and intelligence. One good wideawake energetic man is worth more where ever he may be, than all the dead heads that may loaf about the stores driviug away the merchants trado.

At Fortvi.le, I was much pleased to note the evident determination to get there, by her leading men. The rial benefits of the prosperous times to a large extent are being bestowed upon the public there by the merchantmen. They are the providers of the peoples wants not only of the necessaries of life, but the luxuries which adorn, beautify and make existence happy. Here is a play for intelligence, aud the greater so with wealth and population about ibem. It means a judicious selection of goods, a car«ful survey of qualities, and the ability to make prices which are jnst and right. I am pleased to state that after a careful investigation, I find that no where is this happy faculty posessed to a greater degree than the firm* whose names are mentioned below.

I. W CONXELL.

One of the most valued and necessary institution for a town and com unity with wealth and influence, is a bank where money and valuables may be safely kept. Recognizing their needs, Mr. I. W McConnell a gentleman means and intelligence came to dwell among theiii with his family, and equipped a banking institution with all the latest and most improved conveniences. He has put iu a valfc of the most approved kind, supplying it with an elegant time lock safe of the most modern pattern, so if any calamity iu the way of fire or attempted robbery should occur he would have no apologies to make. He uses McConueli's fair and equitable system of banking, which is more liberal than has been the general custom of banks in transacting business. He handles all items for his customers at par. His correspondents handles all his items without charge so he gives his customers the benefit. I enjoyed several minutes conversation with Mr. McConnell, and glean«d much information from his stock of knowledge. He is a pleasant agreeable gentleman and any one who has banking business to transact, I would cheerfully reccomend him to the Fortville bauk. You will find Mr. McConnell affable and obliging in every particular and ready to accommodate you in every reasonable way. It will be economy on your part to do business with him. He and his family are considered quite an acquisition to Fortville by the citizens.

JOS. BILLS & CO.

Among the oldest reliable business houses of the town is the firm of Jos Bills & Co. For 35 years Mr. Bills has been identified with Fortville in the capacity of a merchant, and has contributed much to the upbuilding of his town and community. His junior partner Jack Whetsel is a young man with many admirable business traits that commend him to the people as a reliable merchant whose word can be depended upon. This firm studys carefully the wants of customers and are careful to keep in stock goods to supply their demands. They carry a full and complete stock of dry goods, boots, shoes, clothing, gents furnishings. of which they make a specialty. Their prices suit the people who recognize the fact that they are not compelled to go elswhere to get low prices on the above quoted articles when they have access to Bills store. People who have traded with them will find them courteous and obliging. They manifest no impatience in showing goods. To these assertions their old customers testify cheerfully.

W. CLAYTOR.

On South Main street west side, is located the well known general merchandise store of W. Claytor. Mr. Claytor nt eeds no introduction to the people, as he is one of the most extensive advertisers in town accurate in his statements, selling just as he adveatises and vice versa. He has a growing trade being built up by energy and a desire to please his customers. I have known him for several years, and have always found him patient and accomodating. His prices are low and of course his margins are small. His huckster wagon is knwwn all over tho country and" the good housewives watch for its coining with pleasure, for by this means thay are enabled to make their desired purchases, as his driver has a complete store on his wagon and sells as low as the goods are sold at the store, lie buys their butter, eggs, and poultry at as high price* as is given in town and the good women can have pocket change of their own. People who trade with Mr. Claytor continue to do so for they know they cannot buy cheaper elswhere. He constantly keeps his name before the people by a well timed advertisement in his leading paper meaning nothing more or less than a kind invitation to patronize him. He or his brother will kindly at ten your wants when you call at his store.

SPRINGEU BROTIIEll'S.

Spinger Brothers are synonomous with enterprise and thorough business methods. They are young men, full of the spirit of the age, and they are well aware of the great necessity of keeping well up with the times. There is no enterprise proposed for the welfare of the town, but they are among the prime movers. They conduct a large business. Their "Furnishing House" being the resort of bargain seekers who are never disappointed. There is no better evidence of the fact that their goods suit the people, than the splendid trade that they are enjoying. They sell superior goods at prices close to cost. They carry one of the largest and best assorted stock of goods to be tcM nd

in the county, and every article is a bargain. They spare no labor to wait on their customers, and to please them. They extend a cordial invitation to people ia quest of boots, shoes, hats, caps, dry goods groceries and furnishing goods. They have excellent bargains to offer. The genial T. L. Springer has charge of the store ably seconded by David Jarrett. Their saw and planing-mil's are run by Will aud Chas. Springer, each one a workman and good business man. They keep a large corps of men constantly employed. Truly the Springer Bros, are a necessity to Fortville.

r.OBKRTS & WALK Eli.

Of all the enterprises that tend to make up a live town, we know of none of more importance than a good Livery & Feed barn. Fortville can boast of as good an institution of this kind as can be found iu the county. Roberts & Walker, the proprietors are young men of good business qualifications, a credit to the town in which they live and wide awake to the wants of their patrons. The extent of their trade at the beginning was of a modest character, but through integrity and close application, an extensive patronage has been built up. Everything indicates the progressive spirit of the proprietors conducting their affairs in such a manner, as to win the respect of any one familiar with the business. When in need of a good rig or desiring a horse fed and cared for you make no mistake in going to Roberts & Walker.

1. WE9T.

Has a well appointed stovo aud tin btore in town, in which he keeps the leading makes of stoves, the Greenfield stoves being the favorita seller. Mr. West also does gas fitting and furnishes gas supplies pumps, etc. He has a steam tubular well machine, the only one in the county and any one desiring a first-class tubular well should have Mr. West make it. His prices are popular and as a consequence his trade is increasing. His son Will is a practical workman, doing his work, such as plumbing, gas fitting etc in a neat and workman like manner. Don't, fail to call on large bodied, big hearted E. West when in need of anything, pertaining to his trade.

J. 9. GWINN.

Mr. Gwinn is one of the representative business men of the town of substantial aud reliable character well worthy of a most liberal patronage. The honorable way of conducting his business has ma terially contributed to his success. The very best materials are made into the moit approved styles of harness. All orders and repairing are promptly attended to and done with neatness and dispatch at moderate and fair prices. A comprehensive line of harness, collars, bridles, whips, robes, blankets and every thing usually kept iu a first-class harness store are always in stock and sold at the lowest prevailing prices and satisfaction always guaranteed to patrons. Try Mr. Gwinn and I will vouch for good honest work and the lowest prices. Nothing makes a horse appear so well as a nice set of harness and there is no excuse for the people harnessing their horses poorly, when Mr. Gwinn can fit them out so cheap.

HIDAT & TARTAN.

There is no business that is so often slighted as that of the blacksmith It is a comfort and satisfaction to know where you can have first-class work done all in a neat aud substantial manner. The subjects of this sketch are both scientific workmen, whose work always gives satisfaction. As I have given them a practical test. They are among the best business men of the town and are in every way deserving of the liberal patronage accorded them. Their prices are always right, and their work guaranteed. Strangers iu search of their shop will find it situated on south Main street, near Roberts & Walker's livery barn. Blacksmithing aud wood working of any character Avill receive their personal attention and they are careful that no shoddy work leaves their shop.

BREWSTER & TIIOMAS.

The above firm are proprietors of one of the leading Drug Houses of the county made so by their efforts to keep well up with the times in every particular. The magnitude of the business done by them, and the large lines of all things pertaining to their business kept in stock. Attests a great deal better than I can, the manner in which they are succeeding. No one goes to their store, but they are met by one of the proprietors in their characteristic, courteous manner, that wins friends always. They expressed themselves to me as being more, than gratified at the past years business, and also that they were grateful to their friends for the liberal manner in which they have patronized them. They are considered among the leading men of their town both in a business and asocial sense I now call your attention to their large and varied stock of drugs, medicines, chemicals, paints, oils, varnishes, brushes, soaps, perfumes, toilet articles and all the proprietary medicines. Their pharmacy is complete and prescriptions are always carefully compounded. If you go to Brewster & Thomas for an article peculiar to their trade and fail to find it you need look no futher. They are gentlemen in every sense of the word and no one who has dealt with them will say, but they were kindly and courteously treated. Friends, be sure and patronize the O. K. Drug Store.

G. A. McVey.

A good Restaurant and Bakery where a good meal, a stew, bread, pies or cakes can be had at any time, is a necessity there's no doing without. The above named gentleman runs a clean establishment of said description, which is being largely patronized, as it justly deserves to be. Mr. McVey is thoroughly acquainted with his business and devotes all his time aud attention to each detail of it. He strives always to suit their tastes. The patronage he receives demonstrates how well he succeeds. I am pleased to tell you that if you want nice white bread, pies, cakes, buns, confections, a stew, or meal and you get them of Mr. McVey, they are all right. Mr. McVey is a courteous hardworking gentleman and is entitled to the full confidence of all people. His Bakery is situated north of the Post-office.

S. H. MC CARTY.

Who can name a more necessary business in any town than that of a furniture dealer and practical undertaker, such as Mr. McCarty. The many years in which he has always given entire satisfaction and it is a greater comfort to us when we are suffering the loss of a loved one to know that the remains are in charge of ,an undertaker, who understands his business. Embalming is done by him thoroughly by the use of the most approved and modern processes. Full charge is taken of funerals and everything furnished that is desired. Mr Mc Carty is a thorough christian gentleman always faith/ful. honest and sociable to

the last degree. He is naturally held in high esteem by all the people with whom he has done business in past years, and by the public at large, it it with pleasure that I make note in my brief synopsis of men like tin? subject of this sketch.

HASKELL COOK BROS.

The big hardware implement and stove men. Those men have a line business room of their own. which is stocked from end to end with every conceivable article pertaining to the hardware and impltmeut trade. They handle all the latest improved tools and machines, always keep in stock a fuil line of wood and gas stoves. They also carry a line of buggies carriages, wagons etc. If you contemplate buying anything in the implement line, you can buy it of them as cheaply as anywhere. They are thorough business men, who have made a study of their trade investigated thoroughly every detail, until they are complete masters of it They have justly gained the distinction accorded them not only that their house is one of the most reliable of its kind in that section, but in the magnitude of its operators and the enterprise of its business policy. It may be regarded as occupying an eminent position and exerting marked influence ou the trade. They possess every facility for the prosecution of their large trade. They are men of excellent business abilities unmistakable integrity and enterprise, and fully deserve the large measure af public favor and patronage they enjoy.

THE WISEMAN HOUSE.

Situated ou the corner of Staat and Merrill streets, may be found the above named establishment. When the big bell rings, the boarders make a double shuffle, for they know there is a well prepared aud wholesome meal is waiting. Mr. and Mrs. Wisemau have acquired an enviable reputation as Landlord and Landlady and the hotel is well and favorably known as the'Transients Home" They have as valued experience in this line as any people in the state. Guests at this house always find first-class accommodation, plenty to eat and the best quality gotten up under the direct supervision of Mrs. Wiseman. They have secured their popularity by their kind and courteous treatment of guests. When one has partaken of the good cheer displayed there, they always come again. Terms always reasonable and prices just riglit.

WHITE & SOX.

This firm is a family of mechanics from the biggest to the least. If you will observe he advertising columns of the REPUBLICAN, you will see a neat advertisment of this firm. Mr. White recognizes a good medium, when he sees it and USMS it. The quality of their workmanship is excelled by none. Their wagons are traveling advertisements for the firm, the same as is other vehicles of their build. The greatest of skill is exhibited in their work from beginning to end, the excellence of which is observed with half an eye. If you are in need of a good farm wagsn have White & Son make it for you. If you are in need of a dray, huckster wagou or other vehicle, you could not do better iu the county than to patronize White & Son. Their prices and workmanship will be sure to suit you. Shop opposite to Wiseman House.

FORTVILLE FLOURING MILLS—MOORE AND GANT PROPIETOKS. I knew Mr. Moore of this firm years ago in Rush County when he plied the same vocation. He is truly a "jolly miller'' as is also his partner Mr. Gant. The women all over this country are ready and willing ts testify as to the merits of Fortville flour. It has a wide reputation for excellence aud goes, into new hauds every week. This is one of the industries of Fortville that cannot be ignored. Its importance is readily recogni.: 'I by the citizens. Messrs. Moore & G.':.i are genial and sociable have a host

oi

n-iends who esteem them for their moral worth as well as for their business importance. Wm. Shumaker of this mill is a man well qualified for the business, and a pleasant christian gentleman The other employes are of a superior class and it would be presumption on my part to endeavor to tell the people something they already know themselves so I will let this suffice.

A. C. PILKINTON.

The large drughouse of the above named should be mentioned as it is one of the most important institutions in the train. Mr. Pilkinton has an eiegant two story building of his own, stocked from top to bottom with articles applicable to his business. Mr. Pilkiuton combines all the qualifications of a successful druggist and is continually adding to his patronage. He also has an elegant stock of jewelry, with a choice selection of the leading authors. He is a thorough druggist and has fitted up one of the handsomest stores it has been our privilege to see. I most heartily recommend him and his jolly clerk Daniel Blackman to the people of that vicinity knowing that they will find careful and experienced business men.

OTHER ENTEPRISErf.

There are other enterprises that we should mention but .s.Mce forbids us to do so at any length. Jhose of the most importance are ne meat market of Wright & Whelcliel who have a neat clean establisliMunt where people can secure choice in 'ats and lard at a nominal figure. The ari near the post office. Also the -JCT shop of W. H. Vest, his shop is on- of the moso substantial aud reliable its kind. Mr. Vest is an artist in his i.-, keeps nice clean linen and a sharp :MZOI\ Have him shave you once anci JU will have him do it again.

Hudson also has his jewelry store in onnection with Mr. Vest. He is a ciover young man and is doing a good business.

J. D. Conklin & Son the lumber dealers supply along felt want in the town, and they are doing a good business, which is getting better every day. Other establishments are Smail & Son dry goods, boots and shoes. Rash & Brothers ditto, and S. E. Wisehart bakery. The millinery store of Miss Lillie Arnett is one of the most important in town and is largely patronized. Also Jackson's hotel.

We have quoted the wide awake brains bone and sinew ot our sister town, men who believe in advertising and buildina up their community. Of course there are exceptions in every town, sitting on a broken down apple barrel of a broken down grocery, and in a broken down voice attempting to preach the broken down doctrine that advertising does'nt pay. These very men wouldnt give one cent to assist their town to assume a life of progress, Fortville has them as well as every other town. But the live men have the precedence there, and the community have an inborn confidence in their towu and good advertising in a respctable paper. We are pleased to note the growthof Fortville since I have been

"3®feg

traveling. She has an elegant new bark, a creamery that is paying a good dividend, anew depot, a new editor and proprietor of the "Sun," Mr. Sfcribeck by name who has worked quite an improvement in the paper. I had the pleasure of^meeting him aud I think he posesses I the essentials to make it win. I wish him success.

Fortville has one of the best gas plauts iu the County, the line being 111 charge of Mr. E. West, who has given tlieui an excellent gas service through all the cold weather. They have good churches splendid schools, presided over by the best of teachers. Many happy rosy cheeked children and pretty women. There was a "trial" being enacted there in which A. H. Kinnaman acted as attorney and another private citizen on I the other side. This would be an excellent location for a good lawyer, some real good one take notice.

Friends, I have endeavored in myweak way to give my ideas concerning your town to the best of my ability. Iff I I have not done you justice, you will please pardon what ever I have left I deficient and rest assured it was not intentional. I was sorry to to learn of the death of a young child of Chas. Hidays who lives south west of Fortviile. I have frequently been a guest of this family, Mr. and Mrs. Hiday are nice people and had a fine family of little ones. I sympathize with them in this berevemeut. I was also pained to learn of the decliniug health of Walter McCarty of Fortville. He is one of the nicest young men of the town and his many friends await anxiously for his recovery. On account of the great length of this article I am compelled to defer writing concerning my McCordsville friends until another issue. RAMBLER.
