As a matter of economy it is more essential that you should buy good shoes for your children than for yourselves. Cheap shoes may, with proper care, answer as a substitute with older persons, hut it is money thrown away to buy them for children. The best you can get will not last them any too long. At Christie’s Shoe Store, on the north side of Washington street, you will find the best custom made shoes that this country affords. Take your children with you when it is possible; you will always get a better fit and save trouble. For the best wearing and neatest fitting goods, go to Christie’s Shoe Store by all means.

The Statesman, published at Terre Haute, prints the following in regard to the visit of the editor to this county: Harvest is just beginning. Wheat is fair anil corn growing nicely. Greencastle is situated on a somewhat rough place, but for all that it is one of the most delightful little business places in Indiana. The streets were crowded with country folks who Hock there from several miles around to trade. From Greencastle northwest for ten miles there is some of the finest blue grass country in the state. In fact this is known as the great blue grass belt of Indiana. Here innumerable herds of cattle are found. We stopped one night with John S. Nugent, one of tho substantial farmers of the northwestern part of the county. Sunday morning wo looked over his broad acres and fine farm buildings. About 9 o’clock we started to “Little Walnut,” where a basket meeting and reunion of the Nugent family had been announced. Rev. A. J. Nugent preached one of tho ablest sermons, and one that best suited our views, that we have listened to for lo! these many years. His ideas advanced were that there is hut one church and that is Christ’s church and that the different religious denominations—over 700 of them — all contain nicmbers of tue church of Christ, regardless of organization. His idea is that no denomination or sect can save a person, but (tall depends upon the person himself, without any reference to any earthly organization He desired to see more of Christian unity; he said the different denominations were trying to tear down each other. May the time come when “the lion and the lamb may lie down together and the little chid shall lead them.” Here wo met of the Nugent family and their relatives, an almost innumerable number. In the

.Tlnrrlr-r by HI vino Coinmnnd. From the Charleston News and Courier. A horrible murd. r was committed yesterday about three miles from Uantowles Station on the Charleston & Savannah Railway which almost equals in atrocity the notorious Pucasset murder ot about a year ago in New England. The murderer, a colored man named Thomas Meyers, living on a small tract of his own near the Live Oak plantation, is the father of four children. The eldest of these, Philip, a bright young lad of thirteen years of age, was selected by the parent, as he claims, as a sacrifice to the Almighty, and accordingly at almost 8:30 o’clock the inhuman parent seizing an opportunity when no one was near, loaded his musket and told the boy to follow him out of the house. The little fellow, suspecting nothing of the terrible fate which awaited him, ran out with his father, who then told him to walk ahead of him. As the hoy did so the man leveled his gun at him and fired, lodging the whole load of shot in the boy's back, tearing a hole almost as large as a man’s arm through and through him. and killing him instantly. Meyers then put his gun on his shoulders and walked back into his house where two | other of his children were playing around and he made them lie down and placed a spado across their bodies preparatory, it said, to butchering them also. The mangled remains of the boy were found, however, soon afterward, and intense cx citement was created among the negroes on the place. A crowd went to Sleyers’ house and arrested him, and had it not been for the prevailing opinion that the man was insane he wsuld undoubtedly have been hung on the spot. The negroes, however, contented themselves with tying the murderer and sending off for the nearest trial justice to hold an inquest. Later in the day Meyers broke the cords which bound him, but made no attempt to escape. When asked by one of the gentleman living in the neigh boring plantation what induced him to commit such a deed he replied promptly that God had com!na"ded him to do it.
