Wisdom is not talkative, but executive. Brevity is the soul of wit. A rabbit’s tail is an emblem of the Soul of wit.. So is a sentence in a dictionary. For a fact it is true that .jL-Leapuld ranks high among the enterprising merchants of tlio great northwest country. It is also true tbit he keeps on sale one of the finest, best and cheapest stocks of general merehundise in thia tnritiy county of Jasper. Another truth is that he nt;d Baylor can treat customers with tl.e suavity, grace and elegance of the most p dished gentlemen of tne land. It ia a stubborn, substantial, impregnable faci that people wlw trade nt Lwpiddli. brown sloue iters get the worth of their money; they got par value every time. It is an. other truth that the new stock of goods at Leopold’s, designed lor the fall and early winter trade, is not excelled in magnitude, quality, or cheapness, by any in this market. To be brief, and therefore to be wiseand witty, Leopold’s is among tho very best places in the world, to do domestic trading. If atty are increduldfts on thia subject and disposed to treat these Statements as tha factors of a magnificent, stupendous radical fabrication, invented solely for campaign purposes, to injure a good and itinocent community, they may prove whetber true or false and injurious simply by culling at Leopold’s and making the necessary in vest igatiou. It coats nothing..Sa■ look into the store, nothing to look at the gj .us, nothingfo das.tjro prices. You pay only for what you buy,.and you get what you buy exceedingly cheap. Prove it. Mr. James 11. Ball of Crown Point, one of the directors of the Chicago & Indiana Southern railway company, was in town yesterday on business connected with thnl enterprise. The prospectus of the company suites it* purpose to bo to build a lino of railroad “Irom Chicago, via South Chicago/ “Hammond, Crown Point, Rensselaer, Rem••ingiou, Templeton, Attica, Chambersburg, "Rockville, to Brazil in Clay county, Indi“ana; intersecting at RenMolaer .witit.the “Indiunupolis, Delphi & Chicago railway;, “at Remington with the Toledo, Peoria & “Warsaw rand; st Templetun with the Wa“basti <& yfestern; at Attica with ths “Wabash River railroad and- branch to “Crawfordsville; :it Chambersburg with “the Blpcmington & ‘•with the. Logansport & Kokomo; and at “Bratil with the St. touts, Terre Hants & “Indiantfpolis railroad, and all southern “points.” It will be seen in the proceedings of a meeting held last Saturday, which are reported elsewhere in this paper, that a company was organised in Rensselaer, with Hon' R. 8. Dwiggins as presided?,’ to cover substantially the same territory from this point southward. Lt might be well to make an effort to unite the two interests. ’Tis the voice of wisdom crying in public places and saying: In the mellow day* of autumn prepare for the,rigors of winter. Iteip your catnip lea, bury your hatchela, pull your ears, sO# your ice, plant your snururaut, pare your s’adrfagea. cut your toes, steal your winter fuel, thresh yonr. wife, bell your pigs, and buy all your fine clothing fur prayer meetings and euchre parlies of T. M Jones, fashionable tailor. Those who arc offended at tlie-veiee of wu—doro are feols. They will s-eer at this advice butthe wise trade with Jmiosand are warm, neat and happy. They etyoy life.
