HEAVY HOGS.—On yesterday Councilman Seeburger purchased of John Mei er, of Pierson township, twenty-two hogs weighing an average of 3SS pounds. Three of them weighed 1,600 pounds, and the largest 700 pounds.

THE pork season, as observed in our last issue, is about over. The number of hogs packed by the three houses operating in this city, is about as follows: S. S. Early, 19,500 W. B. Warren. 7,480 Rieman & Son, 6,500. Total, 33,480.

LADRES

that have been using midnight

oil, or gas, as the case may be, to complete their opera cloaks and the getting

up of elaborate toilets for the Nilsson, will now have ample time to complete the same at their leisure.

THE young gentlemen of the city, in order to ease off as much as possible the disappointment of the younger portion o^ the Nilsson delegations in the city last evening, obtained music, and conducted a very pleasant hop at the Terre Haute House.

THE blind man, who Came to this city a few weeks since, with apparently well thenticated letters of endorsement, and solicited aid at several churche-1, proves to be au imposter. He has recently been practicing his impositions upon the Evansville churches.

A LARGE OFRER.—Mr. James Redpath, of Boston, was in the city Sunday, for the purpose of making arrangements with Mr. Gough to go to California in May and deliver fifteen lectures, for which Mr. Gough is to receive $3,000 in gold.

THE Indianapolis Mirror ssys that "Mack, Speaker of the House, is evidently too good looking for that position, as he is sure to attract the concentrated gaze of every group of females that enter the House, which must naturally tend to fluster and confuse any man."

NASBY WII.I, COME.—Locke & Walmslev have received a letter from Mr. D. R. Locke, stating that he will not be able to leave the bedside of his sick wife for a week, and that as soon thereafter as an evening can be arranged he will "search for the man of sin" in the Opera House.

BI.ACIC SII.K, an exchange says, is liable to spontaneous combustion, tho igh the chemical operations which produce the fire are not clearly understood. We have often seen sparks around a package of black silk—with a woman in it—hut never supposed there was any chemical mystery about it.

LARCENY.—Some time between one o'clock and daylight Sunday morning a barrel of flour was stolen from Dan Miller's warehouse on Fourth street. The thieves took it intc '.he alley back of Jas. II. Hudson's, where they opened the barrel, and taking out about one-third of the flour, left the balance in the alley, where it was found yesterday morning.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Yesterdayeven ing a young man named Bobby McKown, clog dancer at the Academy of Music, tired of shuilling his clogs, attempted to shuffle off his mortal coil with a dose of srscnic, but a draught of warm water and alt, promptly administered, caused him to throw up the poison and probably saved the rash young man's life.

A PARTY of thirty gentlemen and ladies came up from Evansville last evening to hear Nilsson, among whom wer# F. M. Thayer of the Journal, Hon. John Ingle, Jr., lion. John S. Hopkins, C. C. Genung, John S. Martin, George Shanklin, and Major James L. Orr. A few returned on last evening's train, but the majority remained over night and will go home to day.

ARRESTED FOR LARCENY.—Jacob Stultz, son of George Stuhz, of Otter Creek township, was arrested yesterday, upon an indictment found by the Grand Jury, charging him with stealing the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars from William Moore, of the same township. Young Stultz was brought to the city and released upon his father giving bond the sum of $500 for his appearance at court.

CHILD SCALDED.—Yesterday morning little daughter of .Mr. Caughlin, residing on North Fourth street, about five years of age, was terribly scalded, by running against a bucket of boiling soap-suds, the hands of its mother. The hot water ran from the child's lower lip down its breast and arms. The cries of the child and mother brought in the neigh-bor-women, and the prompt application of .! coat of molasses and flour before a physician could be summoned, probably saved the child's life.

COULDN'T FOOL IIIM.—A day or two since a countryman brought in his hogs and disposed of them at Mr. Early's house. Receiving his pay from our goodlooking friend .Julius Britilehank, he gathered up all the bills except two bran new greenbacks, and was making for the door, when he was called back and told that he had not taken all his money. "Ah," said he, "you can't fool me, I can get plenty of them at Foster's!" and it was with no little difficulty that he could be convinced of his error.

MII.K is an article in general use in this city. Sometimes you get it from the milk-man pure—sometimes you don we icpeat, sometimes you don't. We have been told of dealers in milk whounblushinglv buy up all the skimmed milk in the neighborhood. To this is often added water. Our people generally buy milk and water without much grumbling, and pay for it, too but when they purchase an article which appears, after standing an hour or two, like a whitish blue fluid, and has a spoonful or two of a thick sediment in the bottom like lime, they think it time to change to a more

honest dealer.

a paragraph in a cotemporary stating

that two ladies recently pawned their bonnets for a couple of drinks, objects to tfll? indiscriminate use of the term ladies by newspaper writers and others. So commonly applied, it loses significance,

and for this reason the plainer term woman is preferable in referring to a true lady, rather than couple with her name a

title conferred upon all the sex, and frequently under circumstances the least ap

propriate.

WE HKARP yesterday an instance of reai devotion to a trust reposed. Mr. Frank Pescheek is the flagman at the Fifth street railroad crossing. He is also the keeper of a grocery store at the same place. A few days since he discovered the roof of his house on fire, and while in the act of extinguishing the flames, he

THE warm days bring out the pave-ment-gamblers, and marbles are up.

TERRE HAUTE & INDIANAPOLIS R. R. Co. ELECTION.—The Board of Directors of the T. H. &

1. R. R. met yesterday and

AN EVENTFUL YEAR.—The year 1871 will be an eventful one. We gather the following, whjch we accept as fact*, from an exchange: Throughout the whole course of the year, whenever the moon war.es, the nights will grow dark. Whoever falls in love this year, will think his sweetheart an angel. Whoever gets married will test the truth of it. If the young lady happens to blush, she will look red in lie face. If your umbrella is lost, or in other words is stolen, to buy or borrow, or do without and walk home in the rain, will be your alternative. And so on to the end of the chapter. These facts are established by precedent, or we would not give currency to them.

THE CLAY CotJsnr COAL.—A correspondent in yesterday's Cincinnati Enquirer, writes that Col. J. W. Foster, the Geologist in the employ of the North and South Railroad, and the Vice Pr--ident of the Illinois Central Railroad, with Professor Cox, Stale Geologist, inspected the coalfields of Clay county on Thursday last.

It is the intention of the Illinois Cen

tral to run a branch from their main lihe to the most available point, so as to connect with the block coal regioh of Clay county, and although interested in the coal mines in Illinois, it is proposed to

substitute the Indiana coal for that of Illinois on account of its superior advantages for boi'er use.

POSTMASTERS and their clerks are subject to ms:-.y annoyances and to frequent complaints that have no good foundations. Here is an instance: Some weeks asro a man, lesiditig in this city, called at the I'ostoflice and bought a money order. A week or two passed, and the same man called again, and begah to "blow up" the clerk In charge of the money order department because the money he had paid had not been received by the person for whom it was intended. In the course of the conversation that ensued, the fact come out that the irate customer had the order in his pocket, where lie had safely carried it all the while, not knowing that he should forward it to his correspondent, that the money might be drawn thereon.

SHARPERS are traveling the country appointing farmers to agencies of all sorts of patent traps, and when they have induced a farmer to become an agent, they make him believe that it is necessary for him to sign a paper which they call an acceptance of the agency. In many instances the papers FO signed by unsuspecting farmers turn out to be promissory notes, which the sharpers bring to town, and sell for what money they can, and then get out of the country leaving the farmer to pay the note. Tho moral of all of which is, sign nothing, unless you have seen and read it carefully for yourself, and are certain that vou can fullv understand what it means.

TIIE BANKS.—At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the National State I be one Stump, who

Bank, on Wednesday, the following di

rectors were elected for the ensuing year: J. R. Cunningham, A. McGregor, S. S. Early, B. Booth, F. Nippert, W. B. Warren, and P. Ilussey. The board organ

ized by re electing Preston Ilussey, President, and C. M. Warren. Cashier. The following directors were elected by

the stockholders of the First National Bank on the same day: Demas Deming, II. Boss, Ryce, M. \V. Williams, W. K.

Edwards, W. E. McLean, and Owen TuHer. Demas Deming was re elected President, and S. A. Ilerrick, Cashier.

THE LITTLE DIVORCE CASE.—In the Common Pleas Court, on Saturday, I. N. Pierce on the bench, the counsel for Mrs. Mary Little made a motion for a new trial. The motion was argued and sustained. The court then heard the case, and it being shown to the satisfaction of the court that the plaintiff ha been a resident of the State for a year or more before -iling her present application, that her husband had abandoned her for a pen-xi of six years, and failing to contribute to her support during that time, a divorce, without alimony, was granted. The defendant in this case is President of the Boston Water Works Company, and a man of considerable wealth. He kas made no resistance to the decree of divorce.

ON the first day of the year the reduction of duties on certain necessaries of life look effect, although people here practically know nothing about it. The cause is thus explained: Only a very small portion of groceries in bond have been taken out, and dealers are waiting their turn in getting their stocks, and have been since the first of January. The officials are letting out the goods as fast as they can, but it will be a month before the reduction will be le- sgn'^ed by grocers. Buyers must, theref-.re, 1 .ve patience for a few weeks until grocers can get away with their heavy duty slocks, when they may have some chhnce of getting them cheaper. Ths tariff will create a reduction of about ten cents per pound on tea, two cents on coffee, one cent on sugar, and in like proportion on all the other articles found in grocery stores.

Two gallant young gentlemen of this city went out hunting yesterday, after

having made several bets as to the amount of game they would bag. They tramped all day, and came in at night with two

tame ducks, that they tried to pass off for game.

THE last slaughtering of hogs for his season at Mr. Early's establishment was done Friday afternoon. The receipt of about 200 more dressed hogs will close the business for this winter. The total number cut by Mr. Early will be slightly in excess of 19,500 hogs.

A BAD RUN.—Yesterday morning a couple of horses from Chadwick's livery stable took fright near the dopot, and ranaway. They soon brought up against a telegraph pole, one'of the horses striking its head against the same with such force as to cause its death.

THE BURGLARS are not all in jail. On yesterday morning the household of Mr. Geo. C. Duy awoke to find that a couple —a man and boy as shown by the tracks in the snow—-had been in the house during the night and taken a lot of silverware. It is supposed that the boy was secreted in the house before it was closed-

The same night the house of Mr. S. R. Henderson, in the same neighborhood, wa3 entered, but the only article missed was a pair of rubber shoes.

CRIMINAL COURT—Charles Lamb was arraigned yesterday on six indictments for violation of the liquor law. The first charge was tried by the Court and on this he was acquitted. The second went before a jury, and on this he was convicted" He proposes, we understand, to enter a plea of guilty on the other four charges'

George Thompson was fined five dollars

jr contempt of court in refusing to testify in one of the above cases. The case of the State vs. John Talman. for stealing an axe and pair of gloves from Joseph Howard, in Otter Creek

township, was heard by the court. Sentence was withheld until this morning.

Sentence was pronounced upon Maggie Dean, John Reese and James R. Clinton, whose trials have already been reported in this paper. The Frst named goes to

the penitentiary for one year, and the others for two vears each.

SINGULAR INCIDENT.—On Saturday evening, a gentleman stopping at the

Terre Haute House, discovered a small boy, about six years of age, lealiiiig

against the west wall of the b.iilding, apparently endeavoring to shelter him

self from the rain. In answer to the

inquiry what he was doing there, the boy said: "Praying." "For what are you »praying asked the gentleman.

"That some one will take me in out of the rain," promptly replied the boy. The gentleman asked the boy to come into

the house, but the little fellow declined. On being informed of the case, Mr. Buntin rushed out into the slorhi and gath

ering the boy in his arms was about to carry him into the house, but the latter kicked and screamed so that he was obliged to let him down, and the boy

started up Seventh street. On going back into the house, Mr. Buntin sent one of his boys with an umbrella after the lad, but the latter was not overtaken and was not seen afterwards. It was a singular incident.

BURGLARS ARRESTED.—The police put quite a check, on Saturday night, to the burglarious operations* which have been going on for a fortnight pant. The first arrest was made bv r,dicers Crowe, Robertson and Vandever. Passing I). C. Grfiner's, at the corner of Ohio and Third streets, they noticed a window out. Just as one of the party was about to look in two men jumped out o' the store, through the window, and were quickly nabbed and taken to jail. One of the men proved to las figured twice in

police circles as a breaker of street lamps. The other man is a stranger, name not

known. A short time after, as Officers Crowe, Vandervcr and Ilayward were passing up Main street, their attention was attracted by the barking of a dog in X.Andrew's shoe store. Quickly passing around to the rear they found two men, with augur,

chisel and other implements in the act of effecting an entrance. One of the men escaped with a shot from Crowe's pistol following him without efiect. The other

man, who says he is from St. Louis, but refuses to give his name, was taken in charge, and placed in jail. The intention was to enter Tuttle's Tea Store, but the burglars in going to the rear made a mis.

take in the door. Sometime during the night a man named Benjamin Algood, was atrested on

East Main street, by Officer. Yost and Sibley, charged with stealing a chain and ring from a fellow boarder at Stark's boarding house. It is not believed that

Algood has had anything do with the burglaries.

JOHN B. GOUGH'S LECTURE.—The violent rain storm of Saturday evening caused the smallest audience to gather at the Opera House, that has ever assembled in this city to hear Mr. Gough, and still it was quite respectable in numbers, and composed of the most intelligent portion .of the community, who braved the fury of the storm in order to hear once again this wonderfully gifted man. Mr. Gough was introduced by Col. R. W. Thompson, and immediately took hold of his subject, which, as announced, was "Curiosity."' This lie first defined as "a desire to know and gather information," and which in great minds leads to important discoveries in scienot, in medium minds prompts to storing the mind with useful facts, and in little minds leads men and women to the pitiful peddling of gossipand minding other people's business. The expression often used, that "the audience hung on the lips of the speaker," was true on this occasion. Seldom have we seen such close attention, such complete sympathy, and eager absorption of ideas expressed. From the time he is introduced upon the stand, until he bids the audience good night, his language—always well chosen and beauful—gestures natural, forcible, yet easy, and expression of countenance generally spontaneous and life-like, and ficquentlv expressing more than the words lie utters,

GRUMBLERS.—An exchange "'goes for" grumblers as follows: Nothing to do— can't make a living! is the cry now, and has been since creation's dawn, with a certain class of people, that the time* are hard, and that there is nothing to do— all take hold of the mind with such force money is scarce, and that they can't make j—we had almost said violence—as to a living.

solid men of Terre Haute, began housekeeping on a salary of $300 a year, but he laid up apart of that $300 and he mile it a rule of liis life not to increase

LARCENY.—Yesterday afternoon Edward Sutherland was arrested and committed, on charge of stealing a pair of boots from Taylor Gapen. The latter, meeting Sutherland on the street with the boots on, grasped him by the arm, said "Come along, I want you," and marched him up to the Mayor's court, procured him a prompt hearing.

LARGE delegations came in from the surrounding towns last evening to attend the Nilsson concert. A party of thirty came up from Evansville, with small additions along the road, a delegation numbering about seventy-five came down on the Danville road from I'errvsville, New port and Clinton, and the evening trains brought in large parties from Mattoon, Chaile'ton, Paris and Marshall, filling the hotels almost to overflowing.

THE Board of County Commissioners met yesterday morning, ami after examining the several proposals for keeping the poor for the ensuing year, awarded the contract to George W. Armstrong for $2,500, he agreeing to furnish everything needed. There were eight other bidders, viz: Dr. Ilollingsworth, S. B. Rilev, Nathaniel Jone*, George W. Watkins, Thos. Stewart, George W. Sparks and Elias Cumuiins.

Dr. J. S. Stone was authorized to give

medical attendance to the poor during the

illness of Dr. Peyton. The Auditor was authorized to borrow,

on best terms, §5,000 for the use of the county. Dr. J. S. Stone was allowed $12 53 for

an opinion in the Fagg case. An addition of §500 was made to the salary of Judge John T. Scott, of the Common Pleas Court—making his full

salary for the district, $2,000. The Board of Commissioners will meet again on Friday.

WARNINJ TO INEBRIATES.—Dr. McCulloch gives the following test, which perhaps, may be innocently tried by all who are at all skeptical as to the prejudicial effects of alcoholic drink3 on the constitutiont

Hold a mothful of spirits—whisky, for instance—in your mouth for five minutes, and you will find it to burn severely inspect the uio'uth, yoifwill observfe that it

nllamed. Hold it ten or fifteen minutes, yen will find that various parts of the mouth have become blistered then tie a handkerchief over the eyes, and taste, for instance, water, vinegar, milk or senna you will find that you are incapable of distinguishing the one from the other.

This simple and easy experiment proves to a certainty that alcohol is not only a violent irritant, but also a narcotic for iii this experiment you have objective evidence that it has inflamed and blistered the mouth, and for the time being paralyzed the nerve of taste, and, to a certain extent, those also of common sensation. Now this is not an experiment or fact upon which any doubt has ever been or ever can be thrown and I ask you, can you believe that the sti 11 more important internal organs of the body can be less injuriously affected than themouih? "Even the moderate use,"says Dr. Williamson, "of such liquois, if long continued, and grown habitual, cannot fail to have ultimately a prejudicial effect upon the health, while it may be confidently asserted that there are no circumstances of ordinary character under which It call be justified as beneficial or necessary.1'

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.—Recorder Meyer put upon record last week the following transfers of real estate:

A NOBLE GIFT—We find the paragraph below in Satiuday's./ourn:!.', of this city. The announcement is ne.vs to (unpeople, and we have not seen any annoucement of the same in the Indianapolis papers but Mr. Roe seems to take such e-pecial pains, in disposing of his chai ". notto let his left hand know what his right hand doe

that we are not stir-

pri-' 1 at the announcement, coming in the manner it docs. The Journal says: While at Indianapolis some days ,-ince we learned from a reliable source that Mr. Chauncey Rose, of this city, has given to some organization, the Presbyterian we think, the munificent sum of $100,000. for the purpose of founding and endowing a Female College. Our informant stated that the institution is to be located either in the center, southwestern, western or northwestern part of the State." A number of prominent gentlemen in the State have been selected as Trustees of the fund, and they are to hold a meeting at Indianapolis, in February, for the purpose of getting the matter in shape and pushing forwad the enterprise.

On bended knees about an hoar For grace to spend aright the day. Who knows his neighbor has no flour. I'd rather see him so to mill

I do not like to hear him pray "Let blessings on the widow bo 1" Who never seeks her home to say. "If want o'ertakes you come to me. I hate the prayer so loud and long.

THE following letter from General Lsz.

VINCF.NNES, Jan 14, 1^77.

EI. EXPRESS: 1 de-ire to call yoar attention to what you doubtless have already seen, Viz: the passage by the Legslature of Illinois, as well as on* own State, of joint resolutions of instruction to their Congressional delegation in favor of appropriations tor the improvement of the Wabash river, passed ii. both this week.

Tho preliminary survey i-: finished and the ep«r: of it will be forwarded to Con-gre.-s f:• ly next week. The sarvev deai-iM rates, that the river can be i.nuie navi' :ioitr to Lafayette in all ordinary stag:- iii water upon ar outlay a million and a quarter, and if the nount is increased so as to increase ie number of locks and dams, navigation will be open at all times except when there is ice to prevent it.

There will be sent up memorials fiom every town from Lafayette to the mouth of the river, on both sides, extensively signed, and if our leading citizens 'will write to Congressmen urging upon them to give the subject attention we are sure of securing the improvement.

I wish you would announce that persons having charge of memorials in your city are requested to return them signed as fully as possible to me here by the 25th inst.

Yours, truly, L. NOUI.E.

From the Bloomfield Tribund Our Railroad Prospects. The meeting last Saturday was iiiorti numerously attended than the best friends of Railroad enterprise in Bloomfield hoped to sec. A very heahhv spirit too, was manifested, and it'such a feeling will continue but four weeks longer, and increase as every indication argues that it will, we can rest assured that the great feat of seen tim a lailioad will have been accomplished.

The antion'of the meeting may appear stiange to the people of Terre Haute, who have already given such abundant proof of their willingness and anxiety to aid in this enterprise. But the long time that has elapsed since this project was agitated, the peculiarity which has characterized the subscriptions, by being put down simply to a railroad and not an organization, the delay in effecting an organization, when it was claimed that (wo hundred and fifty thousand dollars were subscribed, and i'. only requiring one fifth of that amount to organize the company, has created a want of confidence among them who could and would give, to an extent which prevented them from subscribing We have clamored for the organization of a company, and have never heard a reason, good, bad or indifferent, wliv there could not be one. Grave doubts arc expressed by some of the best friends of the Terre Haute and Bloomfield Railroad as to the legality of any of the subscriptions, and it is to clear these up that the Committee was ap pointed.

Now is the time for Terre Haute to strike if she wants to .-ecuie direct railroad connection with this section. Let those of her people who have hefiicnded this road in limes pa -t, not only give the committee all the information they may •••eek, but let them send one or two of the friends of the road over here to our meeting on the 21st instant, duly empowered to negotiate, and we believe that the preliminary business, so far as securing the requisite amount of stock and donations necessary for our proportion, will all be secured at that meeting. However much Terre Haute is willing to subscribe, there cannot hea feeling so unanimous and devoid of suspicion, unless there is more of a direct intercourse and community of interist manifested. The people oi Bloomfield and vicinity have paid out and paid out to build railroads, and still they are without one. They have become suspicious of all railroad enterprises, and unless they are "convinccd beyond the possibility of a doubt," as the lawyers say, they will not embarke in the enterprise.— While we sincerely regret this state of affairs, we cannot, with the facts before us, immeasurably deprecate it. If by any reasonable effort our people can secure a road they intend to do it, but they want it to run to ISIoori.field, and not to some other point, where the interests of the citizens are in no wise benefitted.

The effort now being made is one that will be attended with a complete success or a complete failure. With this effort depends the fate of direct communication with Terre Hante ahd if the citizens of that place will ?how us the favor we ask ami aid us with the information demanded,visit us and show by their presence and voice that their professions are all that the newspapers say they are, we are satisfied that all I hey demand of Greene county will be speedily

granted.

Let

every one interested in our future prosperity be present on the 21st. Let us have a full meeting, a big crowd, a strong representation of the wealth of the cotmtrv, and if!he assurances from all quartei corresponds with the necessity of the ente/pri.-e, the last grand struggle IO secure a railroad will be made, and will be successful too.

POSTPONEMENT ot THE NILSSON COX-CERT.--Yesterday at "neon the following telegram was received

INDIANAPOLIS, January 17, 1871. Parodi, Age/it of Nilsson: M'lle Nilsson is suffering severly from inflamation of the throat. She is unable to sing this evening. J.

S. ATHON, M. D.

Postpone the concert to January 26th, 1871, she will positively sing in Terre Haute on that evening.

MAX STRAKOSH.

The news spread rapidly through the

city, and thus little or no inconvenience was caused to our citizens, although it was a sore disappointment. To the large num

ber of people who came from surrounding

towns, and quite a party from Evansville, the necessary postponement was a source of great disappointment. But "We can't have everything to please us" and we

must be content to wait until another date can be fixed upon. It is doubtful whether the Opera House can be had on the 26tfi

—the date above named—as Robert Nickel, the magician has an engagement for the entire week. If he can be heard from in time and can be induced to give way for one evening, the concert will take

place on the evening named—otherwise the management p-oposc to come on Monday, the 30th inst. A definite announce

ment will be made at the earliest possible date. We heard it intimated last evening that this postponement was a "set up"

affair, for lack of patronage or some other cause. There is not a word of truth in this. Mr. Parodi came from

Indianapolis yesterday on the early morning train, expecting the company to follow him on the next train. The piano is also in this city, and Mr. Suakoscli is highly gratified at the sale of seats.

There is 110 doubt that the Opera House would have been packed full last evening* Since the above was written wc have

received the following from Hon. Bayless

W. Ilanna: INDIANAPOLIS, INI., Jan. 17, 1S71. DEAR SIR Mr. Strakosch, knowing rye lo be from Terre Haute, has just called To ask me to write you, and to explain if possible, more fully than he has done, the cause of the great disappointment our people will have this evening, at the lailure of M'lle Nilsson to appear at the Opera House.

Dr. Athon has just informed me that it would be a great wrong to insist upon her singing, whife her throat is so much inflamed. Mr. Strakosch de-ires me to say he will telegraph his agent to procure the Opera House Thursday week or someother night during this month, if it cannot be had then.

Our people will be greatly disappointed, but perhaps the assurance that the occasion is only to be postponed, will contribute in some degree to render the disappointment less bitter. 'Tell them all to keep in good heart, for when they do hear her, all tlifcir Complaints, if they make any, will be turned IQ prai-E. Her peifornianee last niylit was grander than 1 can describe.

As v.e iii nee hack over the work nccoiu])li'hed in seven short months, we are sure our customers will not wonder at our feeling a little elated at our unusual, but not to ns, unexpected success. O.ir first visit to Terre Unite convinced us that here, of all the cities in thi« Sate, was most needed a reform in the vicious system up:n which the Dry Good- b.i-iness was being conducted. The motto of this system was, ''Secure the very largest profit possible on every dollar's worth of ^oods sold/' We believed a change was needed and that the people would generously suppoit any firm who. disregarding the machinations of the old high-priced stores, would dare to write over their doors this opposite motto, 'Sell every dollar's worth of goods at the smallest possible proli consistent with safe btifiness principles." In pursuance of this idea we marked out our course and have pursued it without fear or favor. We expected opposition, for we had been informed of the plans laid for otirdi-comnturc We were not even sure that this opposition might not lake the form of person il viult-nce, so when the high-priced stores took this way to bolster up their tailing ior!m.e-, we were hardly disappointed.
