A Bii Diitam
There’s a big difference in ways doing business. Some dealers simply strive to get a cuatoun r in their store, sell ns much ns they can by misrepresentation, and never expect to see that customer
again.
Our way is to always
satisfy a buyer.
No matter how small the profit. This method makes permanent patrons, and our trade is largely made up of customers who have been coming back to our store year after year. Try our way once and you’ll keep coming back the same way, too

George Sage is spending his vacation at Freneli Lick Springs. Dr. Bence was called to Sullivan county, on business, Tuesday. Lee Mathias went to Brazil on fair business, the first of the week. George Daggy and wife were here from Indianapolis, on Sunday. Miss Belle Murphy, of Terre Haute, has been visiting Ant Murphy and family. A large number of young people were delightfully entertained by Miss Florence Stoner, Monday evening, in honor of her birthday anniversary. The new lecture prepared by Dr. John, is said to be very fine entertaining and instructive—the subject is, “Did God Make Man, or Did Man Make God?” Mrs. Wilson, wife of Ex-County Commissioner John Wilson, died on Saturday last, of disease of the bowels after a long sickness and much suffering, aged 55 years. The funeral took place on Monday; burial at Palestine Cemetery. The deceased was a most estimable lady, loved and respected by a large circle of friends. The bereaved relatives have the sincere sympathy of the community. Robbed in Broad Daylight. Mrs. A. Roth, of the Enterprise Stdre, is short a fine gold watch, which was stolen on Saturday morning last. Mrs. Roth had taken the watch from her pocket, and placed it in the show case, not desiring to be bothered with it in her pocket. A short time afterwards, when she went to the show case, the watch was missing. She has no certain clue as to who took the time piece, but a certain person who was loitering about the store that morning, is suspected of nipping it. Shot His Friend. On Tuesday night, at Brazil, Hon. George Knight heard burglars in his residence. He got his pistol, and went in search of them. He heard the gate in rear of his house shut with a bang, and he glanced toward the ally and saw a man passing, when he took aim and fired. The shot struck the man in the body, passing through from one side to the other, and it is feared the wound will prove mortal. When Mr. Knight went to the prostrate man he was shocked to find that he had shot his next door neighbor, County Clerk Jack Wherle, who was en route to his home. The shooting took place shortly after 10 o’clock. The affair caused much excitement in Brazil, and Mr. Knight is terribly worried and much concerned over his unfortunate mistake.

Spooks, Ghostsl
Residents on South College Ave., especially those who are inclined to be nervous, have been asserting that ghosts were seen around about a certain vacant residence down there, that unexplainable noises were heard in the dead hours of the night, and flickering, ghastly looking lights flitted about and through the house in true ghostly fashion. The more the matter was talked the more its truthfulness was impressed on those susceptible of such belief, and insomnia became epidemic in Uie neighborhood, while some American citizens of African descent would walk a mile out of their way rather than pass the “haunted house.” Report now is, however, that the lights seen in the house are simply reflections from r.n are “treet light not far away, and the noises come from the creaking of the trees, swinging of electric wires, etc.; but it will be some time before the ghost business will be entirely eliminated from the lives of many of the dwel-
lers thereabout. More Shooting.
In the past two weeks midnight powlers have thrice attempted to effect an entrance into the residence of Mr. Blackford, the night operator at the North Depot. The first two visits were made when only Mrs. Blackford and her child were at home, but on the last visit, on Tues-

Manker and son, of Indianapolis, have been visiting relatives here. Mrs. A. S. Bryan and Miss Jennie Bryan have returned from the South —there is no material improvement in Miss Bryan's health. There was a good attendance at the lawn social given by the ladies of the Christian Church, at the residence of D. E. Williamson, on Monday night. Miss Pattie Cowgill, daughter of Dr. Henry Cowgill, formerly a resident of Greencastle, is hero from Baldwin, Kansas, the guest of Alpheus Birch and family. The residence of J. A. Curtis, near Putnamville, was entirely destroyed by fire, on Wednesday evening, together with most of the contents. Loss Jl,500; no insurance. The City Dads should regulate the bike riding business here no fast riding; no riding on the sidewalks; headlights on wheels after dark, should be secured to a suffering public. Three mules owned by Tom Sanders, of Nortli Putnam, were killed by lightning, on Sunday last -the animals were standing under a tree, the most unsafe place for either man or beast, during a thunder storm. Mr. Andrew McMains, of Jefferson township, who was visiting relatives at Indianapolis for several weeks, returned home on Monday he is 71 years of age and avers that he can beat any man of his years in Putnam county in a foot race. On Saturday an employe of the Vamlalia Line named Duckworth was arrested by Constable Webster, charged with bastardy, Tlianey Chavis, of Marion township, being the complaining witness. Duckworth gave bond in the sum ol $1100 for his future appearance. The party given by Clyde Randel, to his young friends, on Saturday afternoon, took the whole bake shop, according to the reports of the little folks—they had lots of fun, lots of cake and sweet meats, lots to drink, and every guest received a present handsome, or useful, or a combination of both. Bridge Letting. There were five bidders for building the substructure for the new bridge over Deer Creek, in Washington township, on Monday, and the contract was awarded to Messrs.

Britton, for a wooden bridge, their bid being $1,585. The lowest bid for a steel bridge was made by the Brackett Bridge Co., their iigiuco being 52,225
He Was a Murderer. A special says: “A sensational development today leads to the belief that Shaw, formerly of Peoria, 111., the burglar killed at Poland, Clay county, last week, was himself t
murderer.
The valise he sent addressed to T E. Jackson at Cincinnati, which was returned uncalled for to this city and opened Saturday, contained a dentist/s diploma made out to T E. Jackson from the Western dental college of Kansas City, and a license to practice denistry at Gallatin,
Daviess county, Missouri.
City Marshal Myers of Gallatin, Mo., informs tlie police today that T. E. Jackson, a young dentist of good family of that place, sold his dental ortiee there last month, and about the first of July left there for Chicago in company with a young man
