A certain prominent young clerk who kissed bis darling's eyelids down, over the front gate last Sunday ovening, •honld be a little more careful. Somebody was watcbing.

Paul Wilson started yesterday for Pueblo, Colorado, where he takes an advantageous position in a new dry goods bouse. We wish him all the success be deserves, and tbat is a great deal.

Let's see, perhaps you want a bed lrange, or a center table. If you want it cheap, go to Forster Son's, on Fourth street, just north of Cherry. Remember this.

Ladies, if you want something handsome and unique to deoorate, look in at the Central Bookstore and see the great variety of smoothly finished pottery, eorrect patterns of ancient jars, jugs, pi tehees and vases.

J. M. Riffuer i&Son, on Main between Third and Fourth streets, deal exclusively in Coffees, Tsaa, spices, dried fruits and canned goods, and to secure ftsado are offering unusual inducements in good goods and low prioos.

Prompt cash for goods will alway* bring close figures. Farmers generally understand that Smith A Town ley al ways pay cash for their goods, consequently their trade in stoves an plows Is rapidly increasing, a'ld never

whs

bet

ter than It is this spring. In this item we deaire espaiially to •all attention of farmers to the stout and durable chain harness manufactured by F. O. Froeb, on Maiu street, north or the public square, and sold at rates that are extraordinarily low. Ho will also show you some elegant buggy barnoss.

As yon pass W. II. Paige & Go's music store drop iu and see a beauty in the way of new Chlckering Upright «rand Piano, with all the power of ordinary grand pianos. They have their storo chuck full of pianos and organs are offering unusual inducements.

One of the most attractive places on Main street Is the hat store of S. Loeb Oo., In its new location, corner of Main and Firtb streets. And It is not the •tore room alone tbat is attractive, nor the big black bear, but the elegant stock of hsts, caps and furnishing goods, all of the latest and most dcslrab'.e styles.

Joe Fisher finds one »tore room Is not •ufflclent to hold him—we mean to hold tils good*—and so he has taken the adjoining room, thrown tho two into one, and now haa room to show bis large •took of furniture and other goodsnew upon one side and second hand goods on the other. Call on him, at bis well known stand, Fourth street, south of Ohio.

J.Q. Button A Co. furnish Chambers' complete encyclopedia, In ten volumes fbr $22.50, These volumes are well worth inspection. The illustrations are oxcellent, the maps singularly perfect, the paper and general finish good. With the manner in which the subject matter Is handled everybody is familiar. Don't lsy more money for the same thing to traveling agents.

C. A. Power, the dealer In wagons tnd agricultural implements, on tfce corner of Main and First streets desires us to •sy to farmers in waut of John Deer's Bulky Breaking Plows, that orders should be handed in immediately, else they may fail 'to get them In time, tb« manufactory-being pressed to its utmost to fill orders for this desirable forming implement. And for any kind of farming implements farmer* should see Mr. Power's stock, learn the qallUes and prices "Honesty It the best policy," and "An honest man is the noblest work of Ood," and they are mighty sosros these days, but for good goods, honest weight, oor wet measure and fair prices we suggest a trial of Wright A King, corner of Seventh and Main streets, who to-day will have their usual Saturday's supply sf choice articles for the table, consistingoT Turkeys, Chickens, Cboice (Hired Meats, etc., Radishes, Lettuce, Spinach Kate, etc., traits, and the choicest of Staple and fancy grooeriea.

J. P. Tutt can't keep from exulting over his good luck in moving on the north side of Main street. Ever since he has bad a prosperous trade, and just now better than ever, because he is getting in a beautiful line of boots and shoes for spring wear, for men, women and children, bought for cash, and at sucb prices tbat he can sell low

J. P. Brennan, the merchant tailor, certainly has no cause for complaint. He has all the custom he can well attend to —the result of his low prices. He can give these low prices for the reason that he pays cash for his goods, has low rent, does his own cutting, has the assistance of bis two boys, and thus saves where other merchant tailors are at heavy outlay. Just try him once. 1 —Don't fail to call at Shryer Brof&ers' Cash Retail store anil see the various Garden Tools, Lawn Mowers, Floral Sets, Patent Post Augers, dto., Builders' Material very oheap, also Geneva Tents for the ladies. s.

The Hoosiers

Are remarkable for one thing, and that is a partiality for dealing at W. H. Greiner A Co's Hoosier Boot and Shoe store. This is because they receive the most oourteous treatment and get the full worth of their money. The Hoosier Boot and Shoe Store, on Ohio street, just west of Fourth, never bad abetter stock than this spring.

COYNE PATENT AUTOMATIC NAILHCIER

Which is now in successful operation in the

Terre HaHte Iron and Nail Works,

Two mills in Pittsburg, one in Mahoning Valley and oors are the only nail works west ct the Allegheny Mountains that have attached this patent nail picker to their nail machines. This picker separates all the dast, scale, slivers, headless and imperfect nails from tbe perfect, thereby insuring from three to five pounds more or perfect nails to tbe keg than nails pat up by the old process, which mixes all tbe du&t, slivers, scale, and imperfect with the perfect nails. Therefore the advantage of setting tbe cleanly pioked nails over thos« not so selected will be readily seen. Our RED LABEL is pasted on every picked keg of n»ils. TJierefore, let every one be sure to call for the

Terre Haute Red Labeled Selected Nails'

We are also scouring our three-penny fine nails, which will especially interest plasterers. Come and see bow perfectly this little Cuyne Picker does its work.
