Mayor Edmunds and Treasurer Paddock are much interested in having the act for the incorporation of cities amended in certain important particulars during tho present session of the Legislature. With that view they attended the preliminary meeting of mayors and other city officers l».eld at Indianapolis this week. Not much was done at the meeting referred to beyond making arrangements for another meeting this month, at which every city in tho State may be represented by its attorney at least. Tho law regulating tho buiklin of sowers is one that is thought to require the most urgent attention, though others are perhaps of equal importance.
Some religion is a good deal like a life preserver—only put on at a timo of immediate danger, and then often hind side before. Now there's S. R. Freeman, he has a mighty nice and well selected stock of jewelry, watches, silver and plated ware which he is .sacrificing at astonishing low prices. Perhaps the reader can't see that the.?o two sentences have any connection. They haven't Nevertheless both statements are tine.
Bettor advice could not be given to purchasers of candies, nuts, fruit and the like, than to go for all such things-to White A Mewhinney's. These gentleman are tho leading dealers in the articles named and their prices are always rather more moderate than any of their competitors ask. And in confectionery especially, it is .always well to go there, for the purchaser may be certain of the purity of everything they manufacture or sell. Their reputation in this respect is Veil established.
We merely wish to remind readers who may bo contemplating the purchase of a new piano, organ, or other musical instrument: or anything in the way of sheet music, strings, or instruction kooks, that W. H. Paige A Co., of this city', are as reliable and competent dealera as do business in tho West. They have the exclusive sale of the well known Cblekering pianos and Masoa A Hamlin organs, which fact of itself, with persons who know anything about the music trade, is eridcnco that they rank as a loading firm,
The fact should neve? for a moment be lost sight of that Button A Hamilion keep the finest lino of stationery to be found in the city. This branch of their business they make a specialty. Persons who have a proper regard for appearances and believe it worth while to appear well with their correspondent, do do not care to use old, unfashionable and "common" note paper or envelopes. Such persons are glad that there is at least one place in the city where they are always sure of finding the newest and most elegant things in that line that are for sale anywhere. That plaoe is the Central Book Store. And here also is kept the completest stock of books and fancy goods. In all that makes the complete city book store, the Central ranks first in Terre Haute.
Alf Burnett, the humorist, jpto be here shortly. .• Charley Gorham has taken a position in Aiken's news depot.

Phil. Schloss is just getting about again after quite a severe bilious attack of a week's duration.
Ira L. Reifsnider, of Joplin, Missouri, formerly a resident of this city*, is here on a visit to relatives and friends. 'Mid pleasures and palacss though you may roam, be it ever so gaudy there's no place like Rippetoe's for buying groceries. It is not simply that he keeps tho laigest stock of game, and dressed poultry, and fruit, and vegetables, and canned fruit, and such like articles nor that he sells them a little cheaper than other dealers but because he keeps the laest general stock of family groceries—the best quality of goods. Everything you buy thero, you may be morally certain without looking at it, is of tho very finest and choicest quality.. He deals in no second class goods. You can save money and have uniformly better and more wholesome eating by trading exclusively at Rippetoe's stores, 155 Main and -2 and 3-1 south Fourth streets. .V**
When you want a good, honest job ol binding or ruling, or a blank book made, at a reasonable price, go to Langford's Bindery, on the corner of Fifth and Ohio streets. They are doing some really line and excellent work, and, as a matter of course, patronage is steadily increasing.
