They are also given to when they get a sucker they give it to him hard. Tuesday morning bright and early a young fellow from Daviess county, with hay In his locks, and who was “dead stuck” ou becoming a horse-jockey, wended ids way around to whore a lot of horsemen were at work rubbing down a trotting horse that had just been worked out. He encountered a fellow who seemed to be doing the bossing, with the remark: “Want to hire anybody ?” “Well, I should quarter,” answered the chief “roaster.” “Want a right flue, soft Job, good pav ? We want a flagman for this crossing.” And with a red tiaudana handkerchief fastened to a stick the youth from Daviess county kepi watch and ward during the day. The boys had stationed him at one of the gates to the race track near the stables where the fast stock is kept. He might haye remained longer had not one of the gang of “rubbers” discovered that he was possessed of a threshingweek’s supply of chewing tobscoo. Chew by chew It departed from him as the jockeys and horsemen passed, until !u despair he asked ; “Is the flagman expected <o furnish terbacker right aloug here ?” He was answered that this was one of his duties. “Then,” he answered, “I reckon I don’t keer to hold the job. Ye see pap’s quit raisin’ terbacker out on the farm, an I don’t sue as they’s much in this for me, less someone ’ll sell me a terbacker store ou time.'” And with this last remark he sloped off to the nearest lemonade stand and laid in a new supply of dog-leg tobacco. * Smoke “Industry,” “No 40” and “Homestead” cigars. - lOt Petersburg cigars a ns in good demand ail over the county. lot Tub Democrat from now until January 1,1893, for 50 cents.

A B?alisticBomanoe of Petersburg, With the Karnes of Proxninept Uncle Josh One ef Those Quiet, GoodNatured Old Cltliens Who Believes in Live**—AG««4 Story of Ills Ltkerallty and Srand Sense, “Biss Summers— Polly—I—er—dare I—” But the speaker took a header over bashfulness only to hear a sweet— “Yes, Charley.” “Can 1 aspire to—to—er—that Is—” Another lapse into silence, only to be followed by an encouraging: ; “Yes, Charley,” “Ob, If 1 might only hope ts-er—to—” It was seemingly a hopeless case, and it might have been only for a demure: “Charley, I’ve said ‘yes’ twice, and if you mean it I mean it, too, and—and—and—” And toshls day that young wan will insist that he popped the question. All this happened away “down east,” and it wasn’t long before tbere was a wedding; not much longer before there came a letter fiom Polly’s Uncle Josh out in Indiana, who wrote effusively of his delight at her “grit,” as be termed it, and proposed that ir the young people would locate at or near Petersburg he would give them a- start in life as a wedding present. Of course they accepted, and were soon bidding their friends adieu. V A few weeks subsequent to the above a travel-stained parly arrived1 in Petersburg and were taken in charge by Uncle Josh, who led them to the Van Nadu hotel. “The Van Nada hotel,” said be. “la a typical bouse of the best class, l have known its, genial proprietor, Ur. John Van Nada, a long time, and he is mine host after my own heart. A thorough business man, be is endowed with that delightful intuition which makes a guest feel at home, com. fortable, contented, and in mighty good luck. The bon-e Is a marvel of convent, ence, the apartments are neat, clean, and well furnished, the la Me all that unlimited orders nG the market cat make it, and the attendants 'polite and expert.” Ur. VanNada is rapidly building up a large trade, especially among the farmers, who never leave bis table hungry, “if they knew his house as welt as myself,” remarked Uncle Josh, “they’d iU go there.” The Yan Nada is the favorite stopping-place of the traveling public, who kuow and appreciate a good hotel when they find it. “After breakfast,” continued the old man, “we’ll go out and buy your outfit. In order to expedite matters I’ll order a rig from Tom Fleming's livery stable.” The carriage arrived, and as Polly viewed the stylish turnout,with prancing borses.elaborate ’trappings, and a neatly dressed driver at the reins, she expressed great delight. “The Fleming stable,*’ remarked Uncle Josh, “is one of the best outfitted live, v establishments' that I know ot. The three S’s—speed,safety, style—is its coat of arms. if ever you have to drive to an off-railroad town be sure to go tbere for a rig.” In connection with bis livery Ur. Fleming bus a feed stable, and whenever farmers or. anyone else want their team housed and fed they invariably go to Tom, lor they are certain to he well eared for and fed.* “Haviug provided you with a case for Ths OM Adage, “Lire and Let

your bird, Polly,” remarked her nucle, “the next thin;' we’ll look after will be the furuiebings for It.” Hereupon Polly energetically declared that she had read ao much in her aunt’s letters about the beautiful furniture site bad purchased of George Piuney that she desired to go there. Then the party alighted at this ’popular furniture bouse, and the result was that they were ushered into such a bewildering display that the girl was puzzled at first what to select. But she. soon yielded to the seductiveness of a magnificent parlor suite and a bedroom set iu oak (t’Jth century finish) that would have done credit to Old Antiquity herself. To these she added a diningroom set, with all accessories, a complete kitchen outfit, and didn’t forget a handsome writing-desk for “hubby” Charles, who Vfraf delighted, and marvelled much that thi prices of such goods were so remarkably' low. In the furniture line Mr. Pinuey undoubtedly leads the van. “As you are In decided need of a dresssuit,” remarked ojr old friend, addressing his nephew, as the party continued down Main street, “a regular swell, Sunday-go-to meetln’ finish, very happily I can suit you as well as though In some large eastern city. Bight here Is Hargrove A Co.’s cloth, ing store, and a first-class one, at that, which Tor quality and stock cannot be beat In Pike county.” Charles was not long in deciding on a stylish and handsome suit, and on leaving this popular clothing establishment struck out with the air of an English lord. The superior quality of the stock carried by this house and the amnaiugty low prices for the same, together with the gentlemanly and fair treatment received at their hands, is the Incentive for the enormous patronage this firm receives. “A pretty good start,” went on the old man. “and now we’ll go up Main street to Bead A Limit’s Hardware store.” Here Polly’s housewifely instincts had full playin marvels of kitchen apparatus. “There is not an establishment in the west that carries a more comprehensive stock of household furnishings-everything, from a tin dipper to a cooking range, is here In all styles and variety,” emphatically declared Uncle Josh. If Polly fails to accomplish wonders lu the culinary art It will be through no fault of superior cooking uten. alls. Her purchases Included everything a woman’s .eart could wish for In kitchen furniture and useful hardware. As hardware merchants, Messrs. Bead & Limp have, by gentlemanly treatment and square dealing, built up an enormous trade, which Is constantly increasing. “Another absolutely necessary adjunct to housekeeping,” remarked Uncle Josh, assuming a serious air, “is to place the man who carries the choicest stock of gro cerles and provisions, and in my opinion J J. Kieert is the gentleman. He is a strictly honorable and reliable merchant, and in my opinion Is the grocery prince of these parts. So shelf-worn goeds there, while his prices are down to brass tasks. Hh grocery and provision stock is only of the choicest and best, and It you want to see the Air fly just remark in your aunt’i bearing that l advised you to go elsewhere tor groceries! bull’d much latieryoi

in their undertaking, hut from I can heartily recomwbo at al( circumstances ia constantly stocked with everything clioioe and fresh in the meat Hue, including ham. salt meats, bologna, etc.” In addition to bis choice stock of meats, Mr. Hisgen’s shop is a marvel of neatness and cleanliness, Which In itself Is an incentive to patronise him. He has the lion’s share of the meat trade and richly deserves it. As Mr. Hlsgen is also proprietor of a dairy, his patrons ean aupp'y themselves with pure, fresh milk daily at his shop. “By the way. Uncle, where can I go for dry goods?” questioned Poliy, as the party halted at the oorner. "This drees of mine is hitrdly suitable, 1 must admit.” ‘‘Well, my girl, if you want to select from the largest and best stock in Petersburg, 1 recommend J. B. Young * Co., who carry a variety seldom seen outside the larger cities. You wiU And them pleasant to deal with and their employes polite and expert, while the prices cannot be duplicated. Just now they are offering unprecedented bargains in all kinds of summer dress goods to make way lor a large and elegant stock of fall goods. So yon have hit upon a dress pattern already! That’s a regular beauty, I must say, and when made up you’ll be out of sight,” remarked Polly’s good old unale. “Your aunt does all her trading here, and invariably comes home highly pleased and trisky as a kitten, and bugs and kisses and calls me her dear Mr. Spoopendyke and other pet names, and then I know she’s been down to Young’s and bought a new dress pattern.” As dry goods merchants Young ft Co. are right In the push. Tbey h ive many competitors, but few equals. This firm also carry the celebrated“Q”schooi shoes, which will be at once appreciated by mothers for their lasting quality. They are now giving, with every $£> worth of goods purchased, an entirely different and more elegant New Process picture than heretofore, in handsome frame, which nil lovers of art wUl not fail to appreciate. At this (mint the old 'man suggested a resort to some place of refreshment, and then conducted the party to Liibs popular battery and lunch-room, and when all were seated began: “Now, Polly, you know as well as myseli that not one woman in a hundred can bake bread that would be called really good. Your Aunt Jennie prides herself on being a first-class cook, as all her acquaintances are aware; but when It comes to baking bread or cake she throws up tbe sponge to Wm. Liibs. And she is not the only woman by manv hundreds in Peters- { burg wbo have done the game thing. It is a conceded fact that Mr. Liibs is the king baker of Petersburg. Not only does be excel in the bread line, but his cakes and pies are simpl? ‘out of sight.’ He also carries a fulllino of fine confectionery, tobacco and cigars, and in all your dealings wltb bim you will be accorded courteous treatment and tbe lowest living prices.” In connection with bis bakery Mr. Liibs runs several lunch tables, where for a very small amount both ladies and gentlemen con get plenty to eat. During the winter season be deals largely in fresh Baltimore

oysters, ue now carries a nne line 01 canned goods, and is richly deserving of tbo large run of patronage he receives. When the party were once more upon the street Charles exclaimed: ‘*1 declare, Uncle, there goes a handsome phteton! I mast have one like that Tor the girl.” “Get it right here,”aenlentiously remarked the old man, leading the party down Eighth street. “My friends, Patterson A Penny, conduct a carriage establishment here that'for variety and excellence of stock cannot be beat anywhere. Thoy carry surreys, buggies, carriages and phaetons of all the leading makes and styles, and are satisfied with a moderate profit, too.” So many excellent varieties were in view that Charles hardly .knew ror a while which to select, but he finally hit upon a daisy and departed with a smile that would have done eredit to even John Hammond. These gentlemen are enterprising business men aud bustlers from ’way back, and have built up a large and constantly increasing trade, which is a ' deserved compliment to energy, pluck aud honorable business methods. ‘•By the way,” remarked Uncle Josh, thoughtfully, as the party were at bis suggestion driven down Fifth street, “the next thing to look after will be the lumber for those improvements which will be absolutely necessary. My old friend Ed. King is the principal dealer here in Petersburg, so now we are at his planing mill, and I’ll make you acquainted with him. He carries the most complete line of builders' material in,Pike county—everything, from the sills for the foundation to the shingles for the roof, door and window screens, lath, sash, etc., etc. Mr. King, as yon see, runs his own planing mill, consequently can furnish a customer anything desirable lu the building line, aud if you deal with him you will get a square deal, entire satisfaction, gentlemanly treatment and the lowest living prices.” As a lumber merchant Mr. King Is widely known,and by the satisfactory way in which he transacts business Is doing an enormous trade. He Is expecting soon a flue let of cypress shingles direct from the sunny south. “And another absolutely neoeassry adjunct, to farming,” remarked Uncle Josh, with the look of on old stager, “Is a complete outfit of tanning utensils. First-class implements are necessary to first class work,” and I know el ao Arm that keeps a better or larger stock than Patterson A Penny, on whom you can rely for the strictest intsgritv, even to the irinutest details of business,” the old man said as they once more drew rein In front of this popular Implement bouse. "Hero you can durchase the beet makes of mowers and binders, steel and chilled plows, bay rakes, etc , eto , in endless Variety, and, in fact, everything carried by a first-class Implement house. Yes, mr boy,” the old man continued, addressing his nephew, “to stock your farm with nothing but strictly first-class implements you need go no farther than Patterson A Penny's. They have about all the farmer trade hereabouts, and by strictly honorable dealing have Justly earned It.” They also carry the Mew Horae Sewing machine and Story A Clark and Crown organs, “Hold on Polly)” shouted Uncle Josh, as his niece preceded him down Main street, “now we con see about those teeth.” With a paie face and trembling form poor Polly was seated in the dentist’s chair: bet in about three seconds she pad lost three teeth, and arose and gased in astonishment at Dr. Harris. “I declare,” she said, “if I had known when I was down In Maine you had a dentist who could pull teeth as quickly and painlessly as th. t I'd have walked clear out bero to give him the Job. The last one I had Bulled down there nearly broke ray Jaw, aud ae thought of the same experience over agnlu nearly made me faint.” “Weli," said her good old uncle, “1 knew from experience you wouldn’t get hurt Tho doctor has a wide-spread reputation throughout Pike county as a dentist, and In a couple of weeks we'll oome book and let him make you some new ones.” There is no denying the fact that Dr. Harris stands A 1 in hla profession, and has a large and constantly increasing KS«^*3«iJba,W this is the i ^bj, edited. eountr I’ll « i£§ ; - r- •
