Do you go into White it Mewhinney's often Of course you do if you live in Terre Haute, or in ten miles of it, for that matter. Well isn't it a busy place, and as attractive as busy? One can hardly pass there without stopping, and especially if he looks inside. Such an array of tempting things is rarely seen in one bouse—a hundred kinds of delicious looking candies all kinds of nuts, every species of tropical fruits, all the best fruits that are grown in our own country, and a thousand other articles besides that please the eye or gratify the taste, if one buys them. Ah! it is a nice place, and the firm is doing an immense business. it

Mr. T, H. ltiddle, of tbe "Trimming Store," has never knowingly suffered his large wholesale trade to interfere in any way with tbe retail business, but during the present year he Intends to give still more particular attention to the latter. He intends to make the

Trimming Store** undoubted headquarters for tbe line of goods there kept, and to offer such inducements in tbe way of prices, styles, and all novelties as will insure a still larger patronage than it has ever heretofore ei^oyed. Those who are buying at present will find prices and goods at this popular pl«ee extremely satisfactory.

Bear in mind that fbr books, pictures and* fine stationery, tbe "Central Book Store"is the great headquarters. It is point constantly aimed at by tbe propri etors, Messrs. Button & Hamilton, to always be a little ahead of their compe titors in this line of business. In sta tionery, especially, there Is not sn establishment in tbe State that can show so fine an assortment.

R. W. Rippetoe, that most successful of all Terre Haute caterers to tho pub lie apetite, is on hand again with all the good things that can be enumerated among the choico eatables of this coun try. We might go on and name a tbous and or so of these articles, but it is doubtful whether we could then do tbe Bub^ect justice. Perhaps it will suffice to say, that for anything you happen to think of that would be especially grati fying to the palate—for things not usually obtainable except in the largest cities—things rare and hard to get—just go to Rippetoe. Ho has them if any body in Cincinnati, Chicago, or other western cities has them—you can rely on that.

COJRWIN S. BALL is now canvassing the city for the Household Library seven popular books with splendid il lustrations and elegant and attractive bindings. Everybody will bo suited with them. They consist of the follow ing named works: Kit Carson, §1.75 After The Storm, 51.50 Life of Daniel Boone, §1.75 Lights and Shadows of Real Life, $1.75 Thrilling Adventures §1.75 Ten Nights in a Bar Room, $1.25 Life of Col.
