As has often been stated in these columns he conducts his business in such an economical way that he can manufacture at very low prices.
A subscriber writes to know whether we would advise gentlemen to raise tbeir bats. We would not, as a rule. We once knew a man who tried to raise bis own hats, but he didn't succeed very well, either because he didn't have the right kind of seed, or neglected proper cultivation. Better patronize S. Loeb A Co., and let them raise hats for you. Then you will have some style about you. See their show window, corner of Main and Fifth streets, where the new fall styles, in bewildering variety, are displayed to admiring eyes.
Barnum, fn his advice to business people says: "First have the goods, then let folks know it." Jud Button, at the Central Bookstore, thinks Barnum is right. He has the goods and he wants us to let the people know that the Central Bookstore is headquarters for everything in the way of new and nobby stationery of every description, for blank books of any style desired, for school books and school supplies generally and for all the late publications. There is no more interesting place to visit than the Centril Bookstore. i.
A report was current on the street yesterday that a young man recently married, the son of a prominent citizen, had beaten his aged parent. Upon investigation it was found that he really had beaten the old gentleman very badlybaying groceries. He bought his table supplies at the Immense grocery house of Wright A King, filled to overflowing with everything the appetite can crave. It Is wonderful how they keep their store so well filled considering the constant drain upon their supplies, An extensive acquaintance throughout the country, enables them to get the best and cheapest country produce, and in staple groceries they know bow to buy at lowest figures, and give tbeir customers the benefit of this knowledge. Drop in there this afternoon and evening and have your San day basket filled with (rood things.

Furniture dealers tell us that their best trade is at the changing of the seasons. Summer is now passing into winter, and it is proper that attention be directed to the large and well selected stock at R. Foster & Son's, north Fourth street. ^,

Additional City News.
A CASK involving the ownership of a horse valued at forty dollars occupied the attention of a magistrate, four prominent attorneys, and about twenty-five witnesses, yesterday afternoon.
THR railroads centering here will sell half fare tickets to those attending the fair next week from other points. The T. H. A I. railroad company will run special trains to the grounds each day.
AN enterprising firm in this city is endeavoring to purchase the old furniture factory on South Second street. If their efforts are successful, it will be converted into a factory for the manufacture of hubs, spokes, wagons, buggies, etc. Success to the enterprise.
OVER one hundred stock stalls have been applied for at the fair, up to this morning. This only leaves about fifty. It is feared there will not be accommodation for all the stock whioh will be here. Numerous entries have been made in the other departments.^. ....
THE ponds over the river were'inspected, yesterday, by the county commissioners and a committee of the city council, having in view some plan for draining them. It is said they are lower than the bed of the river, and if this is the case the work cannot be done without making a channel to some point on the river below this.
SUIT has been commenced against Vigo county by John Cassidy, for damages. The aotion is based upon injuries received by a boy of his while crossing a county bridge in Sugar Creek township some time ago—the alleged injury being a broken leg. He must be a very valuable boy, as the damages are laid at $10,000.
IN the Criminal court, last Thursday, Judge C. F. McNutt on the bench, a motion for anew trial in the case of Evans, convicted of manslaughter, was made by defendant's attorney, A. B. Carlton. The motion was over-ruled. A motion in arrest of judgment was then made which was also over-rnled,'where-upon the prisoner was sentenced to imprisonment in the State's prison for eighteen years, with hard labor. This will probably end the case.
THE faix-at P-aris, this week, has been a decided success. The show of stock was the largest over seen there, and was all of a superior quality. The attendance was very large, and the management have made money. This will doubtless help to make our fair a success, as it is very probable the stock growers will bring their animals here next week. If the attendance is large, the directors will be able to pay the premiums in full.
THE fair next week gives promise of being the largest and most attractive ever held in this county. For sometime past applications for space have been coming in from every direction, and the secretary has had his hands full answering them. The 20 mile race against time is anew feature at fairs and will be well worth seeing those who have witnessed it, speak of it as being the most exciting race they ever witnessed. Our citizens ought to patronize this home enterprise.
THOSE having places of business on Wall street were astonished upon going to them yesterday morning, to find the signs had moved around mysteriously during the night. The Auditor's office had changed signs with a tailor shop. The office of a prominent attorney had placed before it a barber's pole, a wag thinking perhaps it was a good place to get shaved. The shingle of a candidate for congressional honors was nailed over the door of a saloon. It took nearly all day to get them all removed to their proper places, and it was not done without some profanity, either.
THE city park came near being the innocent cause of a war between the city and county authorities this week. It appears that in the absence of a public pound it is used for thfct purpose. Some individual from the country brought in a horse last Monday morning, and turned it in to enjoy the improvements and sse how we do things in town. This did not please our mayor who, with an eye to the protection of the .beautiful, ordered the marshal to turn the animal out. The marshal had his doubts as to bis power in the matter, and resolved to refer it to the board of county commissioners for arbitration. That august body carefully considered the matter and very quietly sat down upon the city authorities and held them there. The horse remained.*

IN the distribution of fire plugs, oomplaint has been made of the scarcity of that article In the outskirts of the city, while in its center there are plenty and to spare. The water works company will lay no pipes unless the city takes two plugs to each square, and if It is undertaken to remove any of them where they are too numerous, the oost for the use of the remainder will be Increased to make np the deficiency, The question of placing pings on the street corners rather than midway between the streets was agitated at the last meeting of the council. On the corners they are always Interfering with traffic when In use, aa the hose mart necessarily be laid across the corners whereas, if the plugs are between the streets this difficulty would be obviated to a great degree.
