It Is possible thst now and then there is a reader of The Mail who doubta whether a|l the favorable mentions of R. W. Rlppetoe's grocery establishment* are deserved. Strangers or people who hsve not been much in the city may feel this way, but such persons ean at any time eerily satisfy themselves that there is at least a good foundation for everything that has been said in these columns about him. The fact is, Rippetoe stands st the very bead of Indiana grocers. He has been in the business! for a groat many years, has abundance of means to do badness on, is a shrewd ud energetic man, and ia ambitions of excelling every competitor. He keeps the most complete establishment of the kind In the SUUe, and is rellsbis to trade with as a man could possibly be. Jn short, he'll do.
