On behalf of the members of the Rensselaer Comet Band, the subscribers would return sincere thanks to the ladies of Rensselaer who were instrumental in getting up and conducting the festival for our benefit on the 23d of Jure. Should they at any time desire our services at festivals, concerts, etc., we will heartily respond free of charge. C. P. HoPKINSi President,’ M. Hopkins, Leader, IL H.

la these hard times a friend in need is a friend indeed. Mr. A. Leopold announces to his friends and Customers that all who are in want of goods need not be bashful but call and get such things as they want on reasonable time, if they can not pay down. Thanks to Miss Fannie Miller, teacher of Rosebud school, Union township, for an invitation to attend a School picnic near Alter's mill, which was held yesterday, and regret our inability to comply. Miss Miller is a successful young teacher and very popular in the districts where she has taught. Mademoiselle LaFontaine, or somebody else of the female sex, made an ascension in a hot air balloon, from the vacant square northeast of the court house, at Rensselaer, on last Saturday evening. The vessel went up to a fair bight and landed about half a mile west of the place of ascension. It was a nice trip and no accident occurred. A call is made for those who are interested in the keeping and management of bees in Jasper county, to meet in convention at the Court House, at 1 o’clock, p. m., July 29th. Those who aredceeping bees or who have watched their management, are requested to be present and takepartin the proceedings. Bring full reports of the number of swarms, products and losses for the year. No person should leave town without calling at Leopold’s for groceries, dry goods and clothing. Few merchants are willing or able to accommodate people with credit, even though they may be in actual need. Mr. Leopold’s invitation, cordially extended, is to call and get what you want, money or no money, it is all right anyway. He will give any reasonable length of credit to all responsible persons. Mr. Thos. E. Willey has returned from his trip through Arkansas and the sickly Southwest. Have not yet had opportunity to talk with him, and do not know what his opinion is in regard to that region as a place for emigrants to settle in. When he left Col. Healey, Dr. Harding and others last Sunday they were well. Mr. J. B. upn bad started in wagon to visit East Tennessee. Mr. Adamson, living on Judge Hammond’s farm near town, visited the show last Saturday, and while preparing to venture a little wealth upon the result of one of their popular games of chance had SSO snatched out of his hands by some one connected with the establishment. During the excitement subsequent, produced by the atrest of one of the gang for striking Mr. Bull, the money was returned to him by another one of the attaches; so that Mr. Adamson is not so poor as he might have been had Bull not fed the pig and got a tooth knocked out for i|.

Notice to Whom It May Concern.

Parties who have unsettled accounts with us running since January Ist, 1876, will please call and make settlement without further notice. Our rule is to balance books on the first day of July and January Of each year. Shortsettlements make long friends. F. J. Sears & Co.

Owing to the very stringent times id money matters I hhve concluded to announce to mys friends who are indebted to me on'account that 1 will extend the tim« of payment for any reasonable period, to all*who call at once and settle with note, otherwise I will be compelled to collect at law. Yours truly, A. Leopold.

We clip the following from the Delphi Timet: Through the kindnesi of Dr. Beck, we are permitted tg make the following extract from a letter from President Haymond, concerning tne Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago Railroad. The fetter is dated the 10th: “I, have at length got on the track of a pretty sure proposition to build our railroad. The Washington, Cincinnati & St Louis Railroad Company will build the line from Indianapolis to Chicago, in all probability, if ourpe|plc will favor the idea. The President of the company to-day assured me that I could say to the people Indiana that it was ‘'reasonably certain” that they would take our line and build it at once, Their road is to be a narrow gauge, but the narrow gauge roads} are the only ones that are paying Well, and they are a decided succesi,”

Unequalled Success of 1875! — 1 1 ~ J I ■' ' - 1, But ’76 is Bound to Beat It! LEOPOLDOFTHE STONE STORE Says to, ui till t: says is is ini to io in spill of Ciipiiiliia! E®W ITWItt M MM Mr. A. Leopold respectfully announces to his numerous patrons that in consideration of past favors shown him and his unequalled success in business since in Rensselaer, and especially in 1875, he has concluded that no customer shall leave his store (when goods are wanted) without purchasing, if low prices are any inducement, which will be realized by all who favor him with a call. Mr. Leopold Recently Spent Four Weeks in the Wholesale Markets in order to select good, honest and reliable goods to suit a good, honest and reliable trade, which stock, in quantity, quality and style, cannot be surpassed by any other house in the country. ••■■, ■ ■ ■■ Advantage in Buying Gives Success in Selling. A few words to illustrate this proposition may not be out of place. Mr. Leopold buys for cash only, discounts all his bills, pays no high rents, sells only to good parties when credit is wanted, and, best of all, has no partner with whom to divide profits except his numerous patrons, and to them he promises a fair share of all these advantages, thus equalizing them to both buyer and seller. HJS STOCK OF DRESS GOODS ' IS COMPLETE AND VERY LARGE! Consisting of Black Mohair Lustres, Black Alpacas, Cashmeres of all prices, Pongee in all shades, Plaid Poplins, Plain Mohair Poplins, Tangier Clotji, French Damesse—latest styles and in all shades. THE FINEST SELECTION OF SHAWLS IN THE MARKET A. KT ID AT PRICES TO STTIT ALL CUSTOMERS. Ladies Linen Suits irom $1.50 to sls each. New styles Sackings. Dress Trimmings and Buttons, to match all shades. The Rosalie Corset, the best fitting corset made. His stock of Ladies’ Hats is very large and the prices will suit all pockets. , “ Ready Made Clothing and Gentlemen’s Furnishing Goods e , ■ ’ S’. ,; 7'- ' in large assortment. His stock of Merchant Tailoring goods cannot be excelled in quality or cheapness in any town. Fine Mohair Coating, Centennial Cassimere, and other late styles. Call, examine and judge for yourselves. The stock of ~ jboots shobs and their prices can only be appreciated after examination. HA.TS -A.JXTID CAPS. His selection of hats and caps cannot be beaten in this market for quality or cheapness. smimi nn op mi wh-meth a ume extra m this markm* and see these goods and a thousand other articles not mentioned here. Remember, he considers it no trouble to show goods. Respectfully, LEOPOLD. • *■ .... ■./ ' ‘ '> t, '• _ ’ _ w . ' ’ ■ • • . J ifS, 1, , . I 1 ': ■■ 7” Standard Groceries and Provisions. In regard to Flour, Sugar, Coffee, Tea, Rice, Hominy, Beans, Cured Meat, Saleratup, Indego, Spices, Pepper, Dried and Canned Fruits, Starch, Cheese, Confectionery, Cigars, Tobacco, Pipes, and, in short everything usually found in country grocery and provision stores, it may be said that we will not be undersold nor excelled in the quality of goods by any establishment in this region! Our resources and facilities for buying and freighting render competition simply impossible. On freight alone over one hundred per cent, was saved, and as we do our hauling frthn the railroad with onr own teams another large item of expense is saved. Then, again, we have no rents to pay. Thus we are enabled to successfully compete with the cheapest, aqd again say we will not be undersold in this market! All kinds of merchantable produce taken in exchange for goods at ruling prices. ~ 7 ; 7 t3F“Don’t mistake the place—one door below A. Leopold’s famous Stone Store. OHARTiES PLATT, Salesman
