THE OLD WOMAN.
SHE SEEKS INFORMATION. And very properly comes to Th« MaU Ofllcefor it.
She came slowly up the stairs, evi dently much blown with the climb, and knocking on tho door with the sharp end of a green umbrella, inquired in a suspiciously pointed manner for the boss editor of this here Mail paper and then she deposited ber basket in a safe place behind the door, took along and exceedingly discomposing look at the abashed editor through her spectacles, and sighed. Presently she spoke "Do you know
THIS MAX GHE1XER
that keeps tbe Hoosier Store?" The editor modestly claimed that honor, and mentioned Mr. Greiner's place of business, "southwest corner of Fourth and Ohio streets."
Yes, that's the man—sells dry goods, boots and shoes and all tbem land things cheaper'n any storekeeper in town Well, ye see I was a-askin' for information, and Greiner he told mo to come to yon, for editors no wed more'n any$ body else, 'cause they «was always astickin' their noses into other people's business so I've come and I'm a-askin' for information.
WHO'S BUTTON & HAMILTON
Button A Hamilton are tbe proprietors of the Central Book Store, a very fino establishment on MfHn street, between Fifth and Sixth. If you want to buy anything in the way of stationery and books you will find they keep an excellent stock and arc tbe pleasantest gentlemen in the world to deted with."
DO THEY KEEr CLOCKS?"
"Oh, no. Mr. Riddle, a few doors west, keeps a large stock of clocks and watcnes, and everything in that line, in fact. It is said that he has the largest trade in fine jewelry of any dealer in the city. Ifitisa clock you want, you cannot ge to abetter place for it." "Why, I thought Riddle kept
A TKIMMLNG STORK,
as they call it, and sold gloves, stockings, handkerchiefs, hair and the like." So he does—a regular ladies furnishing store. It is a big establishment and the most attractive place in the State to a lady. You should net fail to visit it if you want to keep up with the fash ions."
Oh, bother the fashions! I'm a-ask-in' for information. Riddle don't own THAT MCE LIBERTY STABLE, on Third street, does he?" "No that belongs to Mr. J. A. Burgan. The papers have been claiming lately that Mr. Burgan has tho finest stud of horses in the city. A gentleman who lookod through the placo yesterday says that the claim is well founded, ana that he has scarcely ever seen so elegant an assortment of handsome buggies, car riage*, Ac. "Got some
MIGHTY FINE HARNESS
too, haintho? 1Oh, yes. Splendid! He buys a good deal of it of Froeb it Fasig, 64 Main street, gentlemen who are adding to their reputation constantly by the ex cellent quality of work they are turning out. They sell at low prices, and are getting a big trade among the liverymen."
Why, I thought David St. John, on the west side of the public square, was the best place in town to buy harness. I'vo beard tell that St. John's harness would never wear out, and that It would look well always—but I know that's not so. It can't be."
Mr. St. John doos excellent work, madam, and Is a very reliable dealerv but there is still another firm that Aims out as fine work as either one of the houses we have mentioned."
Who's that?" Miller and Arleth, on south Fourth street. They have been in the harness bnsiness several years, are very reliable and prompt, and great favorites with everybody. Indeed, all three of the firms named are first-class."
WELL THAT AIN'T THE PINT.
I'm a askln' for information. Now do ou think that all them fellers we've een a'-talkin' about would jine in recomwiendin' W. H. Paige & Co's as a good place to buy a organ, or a planer, or a drum, or a jewsharp, or anything of that kind?" "Oh, undoubtedly! W. H. Paige A Co. area firm that anybody in this town will cheerfully recommend.
Yes, I guess (hat's so. At least everybody says it's so. Do you know where be buys his
GROCERIES?"
Oh, at Rippetoe's, of course! Everybody buys groceries of Rippetoe. In fact tbe White Front is a bigger Terre Hauto institution than the Market House ever was."
Yes, I've hearn that you could al ways find anything you wanted to eat at bis place, and I'm a-going there now after some kind of green sass."
Well its a good plaoe to go. Good morning maw' YOU HOLD otf YOUttO

MAW
I'm not gone yit. I'm a askln' for information and I want to know something about this J. P. Brennan that protends to be doin' tailorin' so much cheaper'n anybody else. Is he a humbug?"
No Indeed. He is a very worthy man and is doing exactly what he claims to do. He rents a cheap, though very nice store, on Ohio street, and Iceeps down expenses to tbe very lowest notch, buys and sells for cash, does his own cutting and is actually able to sell at from ten to fifteen per cent, lower than most of the other dealers. You may be sure that what ever business you may have with him will be satisfactory."

Ye see I don't have to ask anything about Andrew* Bless ye! rve knowed Noyes Andrews for I don't know how long, and I never got a bad piece of shoe leather from him yit, nor never heard of anybody that did.
