Come and sec our stock, and get our prices. LOCAL AFFAIRS. THE rAVOBITK BAIT. This in the bait the ;- fl slier men take, the fishermen take, the fishermen take, when they" start out the fish to wake so early in the morning. They take a nip.before they go—a good one, nht and long and slow, for fear the chills would lay them low so early in the morning. Another when • they’re on the street, which they repeat foch time tliey meet for ‘‘luck*’—for that is the way to greet a fisher in the morning. And when they are on the river’s brink again they drink without a wink, to fight malaria, all by the doctor’s warning. They tip the flask with true delight if there’s a bite; if tishiiig’s light “smile” the more till, jolly tight, ail fishing they’re scorning. Another nip to depart, one at the mart, ono to part, l*ut none when in the house theydurt for fear there’ll be mourning. This Is the bait the fishermen try who fishes buy at prices high and tell each one bigger lie of fishing in the morning.

Monitor Mills Burned. Friday morning at one o'clock Are was discovered in the mill; the alarm was general, ami soon the population of the town was aroused, but eflorts toward saving the mill were of no ava l, for the building was soon a sheet of flames. None ot the property was rescued from the mill, and before many minutes the flames had completely destroyed the building. There was but little danger of the Arc communicating to other buildings, and it was preveuted from doing so with little effort. Tho total loss ou the mill and contents is estimated at $5,000. The mill was owued by James Mount and on it there was no insurance. Abe Seebreu, the lessee of ,the mill, loses the contents, wheat, corn, etc., Ip the amount of $2,500, with $2,000? insurance, in a Vincennes agency. The origin of the fire is unknown, but one supposition is that it originated from the machinery. The loss of the mill is a serious blow to the prosperity and interests of our town, and we trust it will be rebuilt. In conversation with a number of business men we lcarnthat they voice the opinion that times have gone to the rock bottom, and business will now begin to improve, steadily if not rapidly. The close money market has been caused by a lack of confidence consequent ' from the !; ard times; capital was idle, anil its non use, caused money to be scarce in every channel. But uow confidence is restored, mechanics are busy, farmers are harvesting very fair crops aud no doubt all will soou feel the effects of better times. "I Love You, Sweet,” is the title of a beautiful song received with the eomplimeuts of the author of the words and music, Mrs. W. A. Markcc, of Vincennes. Mrs. Markcc is a charming musician, aud the Old Post is justly _ proud of its songbird aud accomplished author, John Church & Co., Cincinnati, arc the publishers. Price, 35 cents.

Ileury Rickrich lost liis stock of fEoods by fire on Dee. 2,1882, and had$1,06)0 insurance in the Denver, Col., Insurance Company, on which he has received no money, but on Monday last he got a letter stating that a judgmet had been rendered in his favor for $1,248 by a Colorado court. Edwin Smith's law card appears in this issue. Mr. Smith comes from Princeton, well recommended. He is a graduate of the Washington University, of St. Louis, with the degree of LL.

' “Our colored people were delighted with the cordial reception they received,” savs the Washington Gazette; referring to the basket meeting of the African M. E.

It will pay von to come and see our large stock of Plows, Hardware, Stoves, Tinware, Doors and Sash w'hieli wc arc selling cheap. Shawiian & Boonsiiot. A basket meeting by colored citizens of tliisand other places will probably be held at the fair grounds in September. A good time is assured. The farmers have had a warm haivest. Now if the wheat runs up to a dollaT per bushel, they will be amply paid for their bard season’s lalxjr. The Sulphur Springs near Yel pen have been greatly improved about the premises, and is now ready, to receive visitors in large numbers. Pikeville complains of a gang of thieves that prowls around stealing corn, wheat, meat, and everything they can lay their hands on.

Oliver chilled and steel plows by the car load; nails by car load and doors and sash by car load, at Shawhan & Boonsliot’s. “Sow the smPfuruace fireth, Causing human flesh to stew, And the summer fiend inquired),” “Is it hot enough for you.” Patterson & Martin have just received a car load of Champion Reapers and Mowers. Farthers, don’t fail to call on them. The June report put the condition of Indiana wheat at 61 per cent of an average crop. Now it is stated at 64 per cent. At the City Drug Store will be found the best m’xed paints made— Ilamniar’s standard paints. None better. The Avershiro colored band will furnish music for a celebration at the Princeton fair grounds, August 4.

Seasonable Remarks on the Weather. The temperature nearly reached the hundredth notch here the first of the week. An article from Monday’s Sentinel is applicable here: It was so hot at noon that tea, made to be used, was not cool enough to put the ice in at supper time. The average forty-ceut featherless spring chicken had to be kept under the pump spout all day to prevent ifefroin being cooked. Everybody complained. Paper collars broke down in three minutes aid the best quality of liuen didn’t last over tcu. Everybody said it was hot, everybody thought it was hot and everybody felt it was hot. Everybody was iu sympathy with everybody else, and nobody talked of anything but the beat. A citizen determined to test the heat by trying liew often in a given time he would have to change undershirts in order to keep dry next to his body. He squared himself under a tree in the back yard nud his wife supplied him by throwing the articles out of the window. After changing fifteen times he consulted his watch and found that the experiment had required just thirteen seconds. Many people make bad moves when they dispose of all their effects here and move to the West, a land of milk and honey, if we are to believe the rose-colored reports of laud agents. But while some succeed iu their new homes, many are they who would like to get back to their old stamping grounds, Indian ), “more bright to us than all the rest,” for an exchange truthfully says that all this section of the State, south of the Ohio & Mississippi Jiailroadiuid between the Wabash river and Perry, Crawford and Orauge counties, is unexcelled not ■only in agricultural fertility, hut in its wealth of timber and mineral coal. It is well watered, healthy and has a salubrious and equable climate. People and especially farmers who remove to the new territories make a great mistake. No section of the country lias advantages superior to this.

Mr Parker has the reputation of being a good business man, and as he has a good stock of goods in a good location, he will certainly succeed. The Times welcomes him among us as a citizen. RAILROAD NEWS. The Air Line is doing' a large freight business. The Straight Line pay car gave the boys a “stake,” on Monday. At 12 o’clock noon Friday an engine crossed the (). & M. railway track on the line i f the E. & I. extension for the first time. The E, W. &■ 15. crossings over the O. & M. at Washington were put in, Thursday last, aud track laying on the new road is progressing rapidly. The Vincennes and Ohio Kivor Railroad scheme meets with great favor. and much now depends on the decision of the Supreme Court. If favorable, the road will be built, comes the word from good authority. Passengers on the Straight Line gather “cat tails” while trains are switching at the coal banks. [The writer would have been glad to have gotten hold of a cat tail (real) about the middle of last night. The felines existence would have been brief; but after a “serenade-” they disappeared, and the song of the cats no longer disturbed the stillness of our neighborhood. Some other poor unfortunates suffered, as the tuneful serenaders were making the rounds.] Within the past week, says the Terre Haute Express, fully oiie hundred cars of new steel rails have passed through this city going south over the E. & T. II. and S. E. Investigation proved that they were purchased by President Mackey aud are to be used iu building the line from Washington to Worthington. Mr. Mackey, with his characteristic energy, is pushing matters and it will not be but a short space of time until the road is completed and trains ruuning. There has already been a large amount of grading done, and the work is being pushed vigorously. Considering the condition of business aud the cheapness of both material and labor, it reflects great credit upon Mr. Mackey’s management if he can raise the funds to build the line. No doubt the thir-ty-two miles of road will be very cheaply built, and when the present dullness is over and material and the Erice of labor advance, the wisdom of uilding at the present time will be seen.
