Drop In there this afternoon and evening and have your Sanday basket filled, with good things.

INTELLIGENT FARMING. ROCKVILLE IND. Aug. 28 1879 Editor Mail: The remark is often made that farming does not pay, I give the following facts to show that nothing pays better than intelligent farming. Isaac Porter owns a large tract of land south of Eugene Jn Vermillion county, One eighty acre tract be hfts grown ten consectutlve crops of wheat upon. He has tbe ground plowed just as soon ss the wheat is staoked, sometimes the men begin before the wheat is removed and plow between tbe rows of shocks. Experience has taught him that ground broken up in July will yield on an average four bushels per acre more than if not plowed until the last of August. Mr. Porter received during the first nine years an average jannual rent 99.50 per acre for this, the (tenth year, $12.50 per acre. The total amount of rent received by him during the ten was $7,840. Tbe land is number one. If rated at $75 per acre and that is a fair price, the facts show that Mr. Porter has received annually 1614 per cent in rent upon that amount. Tbe 80 acres will be sown in wheat again this fall. His wheat crop this year was 250 acres, total crop 6,812% bushels, average 27J4 bushels per acre. Doesn't intelligent farming pay •, Jo. B. CHEADLE.

—C. A. Power wishes to call the attention of farmers to his improved grain drill which he warrants to work in bard or trashy go and, where all others will fail. He has also all the latest improvements in farm machinery, and is agent for Fish Bros, patent skein wagon, also an assortment of spring wagons that eclipse anything at the same price in the market. Those wishing to make purchases should call soon. (3t.)

INTERESTING NEWS!

The gflsftt'TCouble with fftrofeatfonal ball clubs id find a puch«r tbat will hold water—only.

Can you tell me who Is supposed to have made the first corner on wheat? No. Well, it was Joseph and- King Pharo. Joseph furnished the points on which to "rope 'cm in" and King Pharo furnished the stamps. These two monopolists gathered in all the grain in the country for seven years, sua then they bulled the market and gathered in the substance of the hungrv people for another seven years, until they owned about everything that was worth having in Egypt. Joseph was appointed "ruler of the king's navee," and sent for his

Bisters

and his cousins and his aunts to come down and buy their hosiery at the Star Notion House, where they have gathered in such a complete stock ol the most ele g»nt styles in all sizes, from the least to the greatest, and are selling them at prices that make them "rulers" in the hosiery trade. Don't fail to see them, for the prettiest styles, the largest assortment an«l the cheapest hose in the city. They have the lead and say they are determined to keep it.

Throw him a rope, is the proper thins to say when you see a friend over-bored. The effect is magical.

Amena yarns are just the thing for knitting ladies' children's and gentlemen's stockings and mittens for winter. The Star Notion house have it in all the desirable shades. Also, the best assortment of zephyrs, Germantown yarns, Saxony, floss and Berlin wool to be found in the city. See, also, new jet side combs, chains sets, pins, darts, bracelets, &c., &c., and the finest and most complete assortment of muslin underwear ever offered to the trade in Terre Haute.

Mr. George Rope, of San Francisco, got drunk and proceeded to take a bath in the

Eis

ublic fountain. So the police levied on person and walked him off to the station house, because "tight rope" exhibitions in the street are not approved of by the people of the Golden City. But what has this to do with the large and elegant stock of gros grain, satin, watered and fanqy ribbons, Swiss, Hamburg and flouncing embroideries, Torchon, Bretonne, Saxony and Valenciennes laces, silk fringes, headings, buttons and trimming satins at the Star Notion House, where they are pleased to show to their customers the largest and best selected stock in the city at prices that will defy successful competition.
