ONE

day this week a gentleman

stepp into J. P. Brennan «fc Co's neat merchant tailoring establishment, on Ohio street, near Third, and laying his bands on a piece of goods asked the price of a suit off the same. "Fortysix dollars," said Mr. Brennan. "Take my measure!" promptly responded the gentleman, for, said he, "I was just asked sixty dollars at another establishment, mentioning the name, for the same goods. Brennan & Co. have just opened a superb lot of piece goods embracing West of England Broadcloths and Melions, French Diagonals, Scotch Cheviots and an exceedingly nobby line of pant goods. Call ana see them, gentlemen.

MOST of the leading merchants of this city are almost "native and to the manor born." They have grown with the city's growth, and as the city has spread out, so has their business. Among them we may mention R. L. Ball—Dick Ball, for short—who is enlarging and extending his business in a manner very gratifying to all citizens. He is now now entering the fall campaign with a larger and more complete stock of stoves and tinware than ever before.

A FAMILY JAR, which promised the most distressing results—a divorce was even hinted at—was prevented this week by tho husband giving an order to William M. Barr, better known as "Bill Barr," to proceed without delay to tho work of repapering, graining and painting the residence of the wedded pair, who have lived happily in the old house for years, and now will continue for many years to come. There is nothing "liko a little fresh paint and bright paper to mak^. bQBje .look cheeriul.

THE Ninth street Market house is a useless piece of city property. People will not patronize it when a few steps this side they can step into an establishment, ^whero, besides all kinds of country produce, fresh and sweet, fruits the best and earliest of the season, can be found a choice, pure and complete stock of groceries. We refer to the popular and well-known establishment of Turner AShillito, diagonally opposite tho Terre-IIaute House.

CIIALBY HAXWELL wont home drunk last night and escaped a blowing up from|hisJustly indignant wife,by telling her that she could go down this morning to Engles A Tutt's and get herself and children each a pair of shoes. We saw Mrs. Haxwell this morning coming out of Engles fc Tutt's with her arms full of packages, blessing that good husband of hers and profuse in thanks for the bargains she had been given.

No CITY in the west is so well suppiled with first-class establishments in several branches of trade as TerreIIaute. In the line of hardware this fact is especially noticeable. The stranger who donbts this statement is invited to look through the hardware house of Cory A Co., which for completeness, general variety and excellence will compare favorably with any house in the country.

WHEN liquor is taken it should be good. There are times and there are constitutions to which a stimulant is a necessity, and such people should know where to get a pure article. Such a place is to be found at J. B. Lyne's, opposite the Terre-Haute House. He sells nothing but the best brandies, wines, and whiskies, and bis

Eis

atrons have the utmost confidence in statements in regard to the same.

THK man who has never known the luxury of doing a kindness, will probably never know the bliss of heaven, and the mm or woman who doesn't buy glassware, qneensware, notions, boots and shoes, torniture and household goods at Geo. A. Hayward A Co's, No. 3* south Fourth street, will probably learn before long that they have missed some rare bargaina.

TEERE-HATJTEl SATURDAY EVENING MAIL. SEPTEMBER^87af

THX servant girls of this city have adopted a sort of informal schedule of prices and condition, some of which read about as follows: "Do you allow your girl to come to the first table? What room can I reeelva my beau In? Can he come In at the front door? Does the head of the house split the kindling and bring it in Do you buy vour tea and coffee at Tuitle's New York Tea Store

"WATCHMAX, what of the night?" "Well" said he, I can't tell, but the best Watchman of the day is S. R. Freeman, under the National House. There you will see gold and silver Stem Winders, and Opera, Matinee, and Nilsson gold chains, most beautiful to behold, together with elegant rings, studs, bracelets, pins and every description of jewelry.

THE Superintendent of the city schools has published in the daily papers a list of school books to be used the coming term,all of which can be bad at either of Bartlett & Co's Main street bookstores. On Monday Morning you will see two lines of children filing into 101 and 159 Main street, where every want will be supplied promptly and at the lowest price.

WE have seen a rope walk, a note run, a watch spring, a bouse fly and a Saratoga bop, and next summer want to go over to the Rocky Monntains to see the big trees .leave and the Pacific slope. Until then we advise all to get their groceries, country produce, horse and cow feed at White «fc Melvin's, south-west corner of Fourth and Cherry streets.

W. H. BANNISTER is in the oast buying goods for the Fall trade. Before he started however, he got in a nice lot of piece goods which Black is rapidly putting in shape. The styles are very becoming, embracing a nice line of Diagonals, French and English suitings, of variety, quality and style to suit the most fastitious, economical or extravagant.

THE streets are thronged to-day and our merchants are wearing smiling faces. The broadest grin we find on the face of Noyes Andrews, because he is making so many people happy in the possession of good shoes In exchange for the smallest possible amount of currency. Just look in as you pass' along at any hour this afternoon or evening and see the throng coming and going.

BE always frank and true spurn every sort of affection and disguise. Have the courage to confess jour ignorance and awkwardness. Confide your faults and frolics to but few, and buy your groceries at R. W. Rippetoe's "White Front," 155 Main street, where you will find an honest grocer and a fresh, pure stock of groceries ^nd country produce. v.

NONE but good work will be permitted to leave the gallery," is a positive rule with D. H. Wright, of the new Grand Central Photograph Gallery. The rule is hardly necessary, as he does nothing but good woik. At least we never saw any. He makes a specialty of retouching negatives, and shows some artistically colored portraits on porcelain.

IF you want to be copper-bottomed, slate-covered, tin-plated, guttered, spouted, or sheot-iron-clad, call on Moore A Haggerty to do tho job. Their facilities are such that the work will bo done with surprising promptness and at astonishingly low rates.
