Our friends, tbe enterprising proprietors of Ryce's Carpet Hall are getting everything in working trim for a fine Spring trade, which they confidently expect. An inspection of their stock will convince every one that they fully understand the requirements of the people. The growth of their bus-

of

their bus­-

iness during tbe past four years has increased to a remarkable degree, and shows what can be accomplished by constant energy and thorough system. No house has a more honorable record or a more promising future. The active partner and manager, Mr. E. M. Walmsley, starts on Monday for the East, and we know enough of his taste in selecting good to assure our readers that they may look for tbe finest line of Carpets and other furnishing goods ever seen in Terra Haute.

By the report of the Insurance Commissioner of Massachusetts, we see that the Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance Company stands at the head of all other Insurance Companies of the State. It has to-day net cash assets of $1,067,134 with a surplus over all liabilities of $80,565. You can get Policies in this leading company by applying to Hager & McKeen. The old adage of the "Best is the cheapest" will hold good with this company.

We learn from the Gasette of yesterday evening that over eleven hundred Singer sewing machines were sold by the agency at this place, last year. This, it is claimed, is the largest number of machines sold by any single agency in tbe State of Indiana during that time. Mr. Marshall represents the best sewing machine now before the public, and knows bow to make its superiority known, hence the remarkable success.

If you have "music in your soul," call at W. H. Paige & Co's and learn the easy terms they have with the Mason A Hamlin Organ Company, with a view of affording facilities to those who wish to rent organs, with the privilege of purchase, sometimes termed buying on tbe "installment" or "monthly payment" plan. You will be surprised at the low prices and easy terms. 8,750 young married folks of 1874, just starting to housekeeping, are invited to buy their groceries and housekeeping supplies, of R. W. Rippetoe at the White Front, 113 Main street. His stock is always full and complete, and almost any thing in season can be found at his popular house, at the very lowest market rates, and then every body is so polite that it is a real pleasure to deal there.

That watch—if it don't keep time—if it needs cleaning, or the mainspring rubs against the crystal, or the hyphejingle is complicated with the ratchet, take it right away to T. H. Riddle's who has an accomplished workman, who can tell a hornbug from hernshaw when the wind southerly. You don't want any blacksmith tinkering with a watch worth carrying.

The race is not unto the man, who can the fastest run; nor the battle to the people who shoot with the longest gun, but with the man who will take our advice and buy his family supplies in the way of groceries, country produce, poultry, canned goods, etc.,, of Milligan & Boud, the popular grocers, on the east side of Fourth street, north of Cherry.

Tbe very beat whooping-cough remedy, and one that is perfectly harmless, can be had at the Drugstore of Gullick & Berry.

"Where are the men of T6?" ex claimed a stump orator. "Dead replied a solemn looking man in front Where are tbe men who make the best harness? Answer: Miller & Arleth, OR South Fonrth street.

For fine cbromoa, cboioe pictures, el egant frames, we say most emphatic&l ly go to R. Gagg's Art Emporium. At any rate drop in there sometime and look at bis collection. He is justly proud of his establishment and takes a pleasure in showing the same to visitors.

No two persons see the same rainbow. —It has even been a question among phy°ioIogist8 whether two people see precisely the same shade of color. But all the ladies can see that they can get better and more stylish goods, more for their money and greater satisfaction by tiding regularly at Riddle's.

When you buy liquors for medicinal or other purposes,' you might just as well have a pure article by going to J. B. Lyne's, opposite the Terre Haute House. He has built up a large trade, solely by keeping only the purest and best variety of liquors, and being content with Reasonable profits. Tbe same may be said of his cigars and tobaccos

Three most Difficult things are: To keep a secret, to forget an injury, and make good use of leisure. You can make good use of a few leisure mo mrnts—or an hour for that matter, by calling at Button & Hamilton's Central Bookstore, and looking at tbe attrac tive and interesting books, the elegant stationery, beautiful books, choice stereoscopic views, books and games for children, and hundreds of desirable things for the library, the counting house and tbe household.

Keep on good terms with your wife, your stomach and your conscince. To be able to !o this, you should do as all the best families are now doing—use Kern A Rapp's Family Flour. There are no better millers in the country, and as they make a specialty of flour for home consumption, it is but neural that it should be tbe best in order to hold the trade. Leave your order on the slate at N. Katzenbach A Co's, and it will be promptly filled.

A good picture is not to bo obtained everywhere, or of all who style themselves artists, but we can tell yon, without fear of contradiction, that you can always get one at D. (f. Wright's com modious and well appointed rooms, in the old Odd Fellows Hall. You never hear any complaints of his pictures. He is a true artist in every sense of the word, has the very latest improved instruments, uses the best chemicals, and is content with reasonable prices.

Miller A Arleth have removed across the alley, one door south of tbe old poBtofflce building, whore they have more room for manufacture and the display of their large stock of harness, saddles, bridles, all kinds of horse gear and accoutrements, together with trunks, valises, etc. They are going to make the manufacture of collars a specialty. They are energetic, clever gentlemen and deserving of the most liberal patronage.

I don't like these shoes," said a lady customer, "because tbe soles are too thick." "Is tbat the only objection?" blandly asked tbe salesman. "Yes," was the reply. "Then madam, If you take tbe sboes, I can assure you tbat that objection will gradually wear away." This incident didn't occur at N. Andrews, because from his great variety, tbe excellence of bis foot wear and, prices Huited to tbe times, there is no trouble to suit every customer that calls.

There are many reasons for net sleeping in church. In North Adams, Mass., a somnolent gentleman, upon awaking found his lalse teeth lying upon bis bosom, with many heartless neighbors enjoying the spectacle. Speaking of spectacles, it should be kept in mind that S. R. Freeman, under the National House,is sole agent for Genuine Crystal Lens Spectacles,tbe itest manufactured. They will preserve and strengthen tbe sight. All coses of cataract and near sighted persons can bs suited.

—The following resolution was pressnted.by Sifter Mattie Moeller to the Prairie City Lodge, No. 107, of the Rebecca De gree, I. O. O. F.

Whereas, The Lodge has been informed of the sad accident by which Brother J. W. Mand and Sister M. A. Mand have been so grievously afflicted in the loss of their little son Frank,

Resolved, That we the officers and members of Prairie City Lodge, No. 107, of the Rebecca Degree, I. 0. O. F., do hereby extend to oar brother and sister our most heartfelt sympathy in their distress. While we feel that this sudden bereave ment is well nigh overwhelming to them —yet we are sure they will find consolation in their faith in "Him who doeth all things well," knowing that their loss is only temporal, while the child's gain must be eternal.

Resolved. That the proceedings be spread upon the records of this ledge and a copy of the same forwarded by the sec retarv to Brother and Sister Mand. -W. F. MOELLER
