Kellogg of Council Bluffs, Iowa, recently from Terre-Haute, Ind., who delighted them with a varle- $ ty of her favorite operatic and classical songs. Miss Kellogg has been in Boston several months as a pupil under

Mr. J. W. Adams. Her voice is a pare soprano, foil, rich, sympathetic and even from the lowest to the highest sS.$ tones her intonation is firm and her execution is clear and well defined, together with which the abundant talent and her well chosen method will inevitably secure to her the highest attain ments in artistic skill and taste.

He is a very genteel and amiable young man. But he is now insane. He splits his hair in the middle. The other day, in combing his hair, he chanced to get two more hairs on one side than on the other.

LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

LAST week in speaking of No. 30 South Fourth street, the printers omited the names of the proprietors, Geo. A. Hsyward A Co., but then "No. 30 South Fourth street" and "Geo. A.Hayward A Co.," are so intimately associated in the minds of so many people that every reader of The Mail knew we referred to the place where such bargains are daily being obtained in queensware, glassware, notions, dry goods, boots, shoes, and housekeeping goods,

WHILE the Photographic art has attained the highest merit, it is so delicate and intricate in manipulation, that the highest and most successful results are secured only by long practical experience and artistic genius. This is the secret of the success of D. H. Wright, at the new Grand Central Photograph 1c Gallery, where, with every facility at hand, the finest results pertaining to the photographic art are produoed.

W. H. BANRISTKR, the clothier, stands among the old tried and true merchants ot Terre-Haute. He has been in the business many years and has built for himself a trade which any merchant in the country might be pround of. Always polite, ever attentive and courteous, honorable and square in all things, his standing is enviable in the oemmunity, and those who know him always purchase of him with confidence.

OMNIVRROCSNBSS is a big word—and yet everybody may well be guilty of omniveronsness who buy. their eatables atWhitcit Melvin's model and well supplied grocery store, corner of Fourth and Cherry streets, for everything sold by them, whether it bo groceries or country produce, is of tho best quality, and at tho lowest cash prices. Take you basket there, let them fill it, send it to your house, and yon can enjoy omniverousness.

IT is seriously proposed to do away with tho Fourth street market, because Rippetoewith his boundless supplies is able to give his patrons anything, and in any quantity, as pure and fresh as can bo found at the market house. We don't suppose the market house will be closed, but we don't see any use in lagging a^basket down there when from the "White Front" the same articles, at the same or leas price, will be sent to your house tree of charge.

'•JWHAT time is it, my dear asked a wife of her husband, whom she suspected ef being drunk, and who was doing his best to look sober. "Well, my darling, I can't tell, 'cause you see there aro two hands in my watch, and each points to a different figure, and I don't know which to believe." But he knew that John Kuppenheimer has the heat ready-made clothing and sells at the loweat living prices.

GOT the ague, have you? Well, why don't you go to Gulick A Berry's and get a bottle of Barr's Ague Medicine, which if used according to directions will cure yen quickly and permanently?

THK Express this morning apeaka solid truth and we endorae every word., when it says that Noyes Andrews, the boot and shoe dealer is up with the times. His store is right in the center of business. He has an unrivalled stock. He has gentlemanly and courteous assistants. He has the very best facilities for doing custom work. His boss workman is death on "fits." He can fit feet of all styles of architecture. Go in and look at Andrews' store. If he oan't furnish you a boot or shoe to suit then go hence and weep you will never find a pedal covering.to satisfy you.

SOME

women have no memory. When

they want to remember a thing they should write it down and stick it on the looking-glass. One of the things they should thus put where it will often fall under their eye is the fact that R. L. Ball has an immense stock of stoves, mantels, tinware of every description and all other articles in his line, which he is so anxious to dispose of that price is no object.

THE

consumption of iron in this

country is immense.. Other metals are of trifling use in comparison. Iron forms tho basis of every industry and is found in the hands of every worker in fact, there is no trade or occupation that can bo carried on without the use of this metal, which can be found in every needed shape and form for the mechanic, farmer or housekeeper, at Cory A Co's immense hardware establishment, 121 Main street.

know shoes have soles and

tongues, and now a chap announces in a neighboring town, on a shingle in front of his establishment: "Shoes made Hear." We don't believe it, but everybody should be "made hear" the glad news that at no place can boots and shoes be bought cheaper than at No. 10 South Fourth street. A single call will convince tho most skeptical.

S. R. FREEMAN, is the sole agent in this city for the celebrated Paul Breton and Humbert Watches, and sells all makes of American Watches. W. H. Scribner is his watch repairer and engraver,and Mr. F. claims that he has no superior as a workman in the State. At Freeman's can only be found the genuine Edmunson Spectacles, which will preserve and strengthen the sight. All cases of catract and near sighted persons can be suited.

MANY

families find it cheaper and

more convenient to make their own iee cream, and in flavoring it, also their cakes and puddings, they invariably use the Flavoring Extracts manufactured by Cook A Davis*. Housekeepers have assurance that these are pure because they are made right here at home by honest and conscientious men, while there is no telling of what the foreign extracts are made.

MOORE & HAGGERTY, this season, as in past years, continue to take the lead in the manufacture of galvanized iron cornice, window caps, guttering, tin and slate roofing. They keep a select stock of tin, copper and sheetiron ware, and their jobbing trade in this line is quite large. They have recently got in some new marbleized mantels, together with grates and fire place fronts.

ONE

week more of vacation and

again the school bell will be heard. Again we wish to impress the fact that Bartlett&Co. are gettirglnafull supply of handsome new school books for you to study, copy books, paper, pencils, slates, pens, ink in fact, you will find their two Main street book stores headquarters for all your wants. Tell this to your parents. "T"

no particular should people be more careful than in the nature of the wines and liquors used by them. Good liquors serve to strengthen and purify the blood bad liquors are, in all instances, injurious and detrimental to the health. That you may be sure of getting a pure article, patronize an honest dealer, such as J. B. Lyne, opposite the Terre-Haute House.

SOME

men by thrift and economy ac

cumulate wealth others by negilence and drunkenness come to poverty. The thrifty and economical buy their boots and shoes at Engles «fc Tutt's, 107 Main street, where will bo found a full and complete general stock of boots and shoes, of ovxry variety, style and quality, both of eastern and their own make.

IT is really a treat to step into J. P. Brennan A Co's new merchant tailoring establishment, on Ohio street, near Third, and seethe elegant rolls of cloths they have to manufacture intofasbionablo garments for gente' wear. They thoroughly understand their business, do their own work, and take a pride in giving good and easy fits. Try them.

PETER MILLER, in the old postoffice building, in a quiet way, without noise or bluster is doing a fine business in the manufacture and sale of harness, trunks, valises, etc. By patronizing him you are sure of getting the worth of your money.

RALPH LAWRKXCK is constantly making glad the hearts of the farmers hereabouts with the Fish Brothers Farm Wagon, the excellence of which la conceded by all who have them in us*

A "IOBEBAL" got Into a fight with a Grant man in New York the other night, and bit off a liberal portion of the Grant man's ear. Curious way of inaugurating an ear-a of good feeling. The best way to inaugurate an era of good teeling is to buy your teas and choice groceries at Tuttle's New York Tea Store. Do you ear?

THE Presidential election question sinks into comparative insignificsnce with the question where to get choice cigars and tobacco. This is more easily solved, All connoiseurs know it is at 3cott Shoafs, on east Main street, directly South of the Cherry street oil well. .-j.
