I saw a fellow-being who no other word he uttered, and no other sentence muttered save—" There's nothing in this country like those new Pianos, Melodeons, Organs and stringed instruments at Kissner's Palace of Music.

We notice that ladies in large numbers are already anxious to feast their eyes and display their fine tastes on that new fall stock of goods which is now arriving at Tuell, Ripley A Dealing's.

It is good to read the account, but every one can select to suit tor themselves from the many pure and unadulterated drugs and medicines at Gulick A Berry's. They supply an immense wholesale trade and no customer is ever dissatisfied. Go to ullck A Berry's, corner of Main and 4th streets.
The pnblic schools will re-open on Monday. Thousands of new books must be purchased, and of course it is desirable to avoid all unnecessary expense. This can be done by purchasing at B. G. Cox's. He offers all text books for the Normal, common and high school demand at half price. His stock is immense and includes everything that will be required.
J. A. Gossett, commission merchant, keeps that extensive feed store at the corner of Main and Ninth streets. He now lias on hand a fine assortment of corn, oiits, bran, ship stuffs and everything in the line. He also deals in Fairbanks scales, and guarantees a bargain to any one purchasing the same of him. Give him a call.

"You know how it is yourself or if you do not, you may learn by purchasing pure Kentucky Whisky at the only place where it is to be had. We mean at the extensive wholesale establishment of J. B. Lyne A Co., opposite the Terre-Haute House.
The

THE
L•KISSNER'S
Musical Institute is
rapidly increasing in interest and prosperity. One is easily convinced of this by visiting Professor Shide's new rooms on Fifth street. Go to him for the Steinway piano or a thorough musical education.
It is safe to say that no city of its size is so well supplied with first class soda fountains and ice cream saloons as Ter-re-Haute, and for one that has coolest soda and finest syrups, and finest flavora for cream, we would recommend that of W. H. Scudder.
An unforgiving eye should always, meet the man who refuses to buy his hardware goods at Cory A Co's, since it has long been an established fact that they are unsurpassed in the hardware line in this community.
