Fort Wayne, Ind.
Their stock consists of general assortment o:
Groceries, together with everything usually found
in store, except dry goods. Their connection
with some of the best, old, and peH knorn houses
in the East, offers them fac tiles for laying in their
stock, unsurpassed by aayotier house in the West.
They are therefore enab cd to furnish anything in
their line, freight considered, rs low as can be
bought in New York, Cincinnati, Chicago or any
ether market.
Fort Wayne is now within two or three hours
ride of this place, uninterrupted by any change OF
cars. Merchants, therefore, in this place and Vi
cinity, can obtain anything they may need in the
lire of Williams & Huests. in few hours. thereby
avoiding the expense, delays and loss of time oc-
casioned by purchasing or ordering from greater
distance.
Williams Huestis have but one price, and those
ordering from them will obtain goods of the same
quality and price, as if there in person to purchase
If you would, therefore, save, both money and
time, purchase of Williams & HLestis, wholesale

rg As we were going up Michigar

H As we were going up Michigan
street the other evening, we noticed some
half dozen boys, from ten to fifteen years
old, emerging from that nice little whis-
key shop two doors north of the ''Brick
Stcre," and as they seemed to be in quite
hurry, we concluded to follow close
after them to see what they were up
to. AS soon as they had gone far enough
up Gano stree. to be out of sight of the
Grocery, one of the boys took the stoppe
out of bottle, and took drink of the
-'critter, as VIC were led to conclude
from the sirangula.ion that Immediately
ensued, on account probably of his not be-
ing proficient in toperism, and having ia
ken little too much for one swallow,
the balance was forced down his wind
pipe. and up through his proboscis. The
rest of the boys. impatient on account of
his not passing the bottle round or re-
fusinp to do so. demanded it of him,
and as an inducement for him to deliver
it up, said: they'd be id if they didn't
90 right straight and tell that man who
stole the bottle The secret was divulg-
ed--they had stolen bottle oil whiskey
from some drunken fellow, and were ap-
propriating it to their own use.
Boys! what would your parents think
Of such coLduct as this, If they knew il?
Do you su, pose they would say: that's
right, boys, steal and drink as much as
you want top No, not one of them would
say so. but on the contrary, would admcn-
ish you to stop. or risk your chance of go
ing to the Peniientiary. and your remains
placed in Drunkards grave!
