An Important Decision.

.After long, patient and mature deliberation, a decision upon an important waiter has been made. Norman Warner as master in chancery decided lately that the credit sytferh of business is a delusion and snare; pn emergency exists tlm.degsion will go into effect imniediately upon fs ;feiblu ation in a newspaper of genera! gi c-giation in the county of Jasper nnd dl Indiana; therefore, tomlred that In meUrtfc hi:d forever from and after the lib drfy of April A. D. 1878, cash will be (insole medium of exchange with power to buy goods at Liberal Corner. W arner s books •are now open for inspection, atid settlemei.t wit!: note, corn or cash; matured mles way 4Kr&J iiu niedlately with cash or corn.

Looked Like Cue on Probation.

Sp cubing of the nltendance upon the MaT»«n township republican convention, I;.s-t week. the Sentinel was moved to say: ‘‘Our 4 neighbor w as one of the number, but he *‘latked like one on probation.” There is •. nt old volume culled the Proverbs of .dSejuinm, which the ed i tor of tlm JjeuiinUe . ' rend to personal advantage. The thin! verse of the twentieth chapter and the Sigh'll Terse of the twenty-fourth chapter seem to hove been written for the special benefit of people having his natural tendencies who would escape being classified with Oiosc described in the first twelve'.verses of 'lie i wenty-sixth chapter.

Petition to Mr. Calkins.

Me regret very mack to learn that the overland moil route bet ween Uensselaer anil this plot* is going to be discontinued after the end of ihio month [.March], This will make moil communication between the two joints slow end uncertain. It will take at least four doys to get on answer by the new route, provided the letter meets with no wish ups. Steps ought to be taken at once to env* it continued! A well signed peti th*n. reciting the facts, sent to Mr. Calkirs ought to do tht business for us.—lleiriirtgton ranee.

Wipe film Hut. —.*-+++. -—, As competition is the life of trade, and those have recently come to Rensselaer who boast they will ‘‘wipe out Leopold*” nothing suits me better than an opportunity to prove how much easier it is to talk than to perform in the “wipingout” business. In consequence of such threats I have determined to sell out my entire stock of Clothing, just newly bought, at less prices than any other House, let it be under whatever style it may assume in its first name. Being so well known in this county but little need be said of my ability to do what I advertise; but one of the main features of my business is that my entire stock was bought for cash and up to the present time is unencumbered. This is sufficient to guaranty in these hard and trying times an opportunity for all to save many dollars on a suit of Clothing, for no patron of mine shall leave my store without buying, even though goods must be sold for 50 cents on the dollar. I can, shall and will do this as somebody has to be “wiped out” of the clothing trade. Now all I ask is? a visit, and if you don’t feel incliped to buy of me I will at least be instrumental in posting people on low prices.
