How Can I Make Money?

This question has been asked so often,
written; men have spent sleepless nights,
and years of toll, and yet the answer may
be found in these three simple words:
Accept the opportunity.
We are not in favor of all the means
used to make opportunities, for these
means sometimes operate to the injury of
the community. But we do contend that
it is all right and proper, when an cppor-
tunity does offer itself, and IS at the same
time understood by all parties that ii is
legal and right to accept, And the only
difference between the one who makes
and the one who breaks, is that the one
accepts and the other rejects
Now to show you an instance: Nash &
Breckenridge desire to close out their
stock of Hardware, either at wholesale or
retail, but at present they are retailing at
cost as we are informed. We are also in
formed that everything in the Hardware
line has been reduced from % to so per
cent; that an article they sold a
few days ago at $75 they now sell
at $55; SIS article at $50; a So article
at So; and so cent article at 35 cents
and sd on down through the whole stock
How long this will continue the parties
do not know themselves, but now there
is an opportunity. And if any one wants
Cook Stove this fall, or any other arti-
Gle of Hardware for fall or winter use, it
will pay big per cent. to strike now,
even if the article is not needed now
Now, however deplorable the circum-
stances may be in any case to force a sac
ifice on goods, yet the seller and buyer
are bothsbencfited by the contact.
He who wants an article, and accepts
the opportunity offered by Nash 6 Brock
enridge, willmake money, and he who re-
jects will lose. IL.

A LOOK through the manufacturing es-
adjustment of George L. Brink the other
day, revealed to us one important fact
That there Is no necessity for builders,
who desire a bracket or scroll cornice, to
go to Chicago or Milwaukee for the same,
when Brink will turn out an ornamental
Bracket and Scroll just as good, and per-
haps better, than can be had at either of
the cities named, and at fifty per cent less
expense. There we found, also, that as
good moulding for builders use can be
found as anywhere. Specimens of his
Bracket work can now be found on the
new Court House, and of his ornamental
turned work, on the seats of the new NJ
E. church. We do not propose to depre-
ciate Chicago or Milwaukee manufactor-
les; but we do insist that if the same
thing can be had at home at the same
price, and little cheaper perhaps, it is a
swindle on our own people to purchase
away from home. With these hints we
say that if any body wants scrolls or
brackets, go and buy of George L. Brink,
south of the p. Fit. w. & c. r. r., in this
place, and if reports are true you will make
money.

SOME stir turned our attention the 9TH
or day to Simon Becker's Store, at the
sign of the big 90 Balcony Block. We
called to learn the cause, and found him
selling out all his Parasols at cost; that
he WAS disrosing of a big lot of Ladies
and Mems Caters at very low prices. We
were furthermore informed that large
supplies of new and suitable dress goods
for this season and for this market, were
received daily; SO that parties desiring to
purchase can always find goods of the best
quality to suit all tastes. Hence the COM
motion at Simon's Store Simon is a
modest man, and don't like to come out
and invite parties to call and buy, but new

NOTWITHSTANDING the excitement pro-
duced in our town by the Wizard Oil
man, and the determination of some men
to turn the attention of the people to their
peculiar kind of business, yet John Ho-
ham, of the Peoples Hardware Store, at
the corner of Laporte and Michigan
streets, in the town of Plymouth, Indi-
ana, wants it distinctly understood that
by fair dealing he holds all his old custo-
mers, and has abundant supplies, of every
thing in the line of Hardware Goods and
Agricultural implements, to supply as
many new ones as will give him a CALL
And he wants it specially understood,
that, while preaching is not his forte, yet
the facts are, that Nails, Glass, Sash,
Doors; Window Blinds, Paints and Oils,
Rubber and Leather Betting of all kinds
and sizes, Scythes and Snathes, Glass and
Tin Fruit Cans, and a large number OF
Clipper Reaping and Moving Machines,
all warranted to be of the best, will be
sold at his store, as cheap as can be found
anywhere in Northern Indiana. IL.

a WALK through the extensive Furni-

convinces us that this enterprising and re-

other Furniture establishment in North

so that persons desiring to purchase can
be accommodated in any department, from
the ordinary chair to the most highly or

of spring bed bottoms are now on hand

plete assortment of every other kind OF

to supply the fall trade in this market.

IMPROVEMENT OF TIE
TENNESSEE RIVER.
Progress Of the Work at Differ.
ent Points.

The following which we copy from the
Nashville Union & american will give
some account of Government improve
ments progressing on the Tennessee
River, and also explain why our Col. O..
III. p. Bailey is temporarily absent:
We had conversation yesterday with
Col. o. H. p Bailey, of Indiana, who is
now connec.ed with some improvement
on the Tennessee river, and obtained from
him the following information:
An appropriation has been made by
Congress for improving the navigation of
the Tennessee river, and Maj Walter Nc
Farland, of the United States Topograph-
ical Engineers, has been placed in charge
of the work, with headquarters at Chatta-
nooga- Mr.. J. III. Dennis, of Louisville.
has taken $4,000 contract at Colbert
Shoals. He also has other contracts mt
different points on the river. Rip rap
dams are being built at Colbert's shoals
and also at Beetree shoals, some thirty
miles below Muscle shoals. Mr.. Dennis
has large contracts some six or seven
miles below Chattanooga at the Suck
and Pot"
The Muscle Shoals are now being sur
veyed, to ascertain the best manner of re-
moving this serious obstruction to the ma
vigation of the Tennessee. 1t has not yet
been decided what sort of contract wi II
be made, but we are informed that a canal
will probably be built around these
shoals.
At Colbert's Shoals, besides building
rip rap dams "a foundation or parapet of
stones, thrown together without order)
the cannal is being excavated to the
depth required for safe navigation. One
hundred men are now employed at Col
bert's Shoals, and it is probable that the
number will soon be largely increased.
AT Beetree shoals Mr.. Dennis has a
force engaged on rip-rap dam sixteen
hundred feet in length, seventeen feet at
the base, seven feet at the top, and four
feet high.
The high water of spring and early sum-
mer has greatly interfered with these i'm
provements on the Tennessee, but the
water Is now at low stage, and the work
is being pushed forward rapidly.
The Improvements now being made.
both on the: Tennessee and Cumberland
rivers, cannot fail, if rightly managed, to
be OF great benefit to the commercial and
manufacturing interests of our State. The
following extract taken from the Free
Trader, an able periodical published in
New York, shows in some degree the i'm
portance of the improvements mentioned
above.
1.-The Dolly Times of Chattanooga,
Tenn, brings new and detailed statements
to show that a superior quality of pig iron
can be produced in that State for less than
$17 ton. No wonder the Pennsylvania
pig iron manufacturers hold meeting after
meeting to see how they can defend them
selves against domestic competition, which
they are beginning to dread far more than
the foreign. Tennessee and Alabama are
bound to solve the tariff problem as far as
non Is concerned. But for difficulties of
navigation, the shores Of the upper Ten.
nessee river ought to be lined with ship
yards, furnishing the world with iron
ships, that neither Glasgow nor South
ampton could beat; and they probably
viii be yet"
