Notice to The Public

To my friends and the public
generally, desire to say that /
have lately bought the business of

repaiatcd the Store Room, and III
a short time will have a complete
stock of goods of the very latest
STYLES, which | will offer to the

in this town for CASH ALSO
LUTELY or PRODUCE. | wall
positively not sell any goods to
ANYBODY on Credit, and in making
this statement [ want to say that
nv experience in the mercantile
business for the last ten years has
taught nae that to sell for cash will
certainly prove satisfactory to both
customer and merchant, unques-
ton ably the man who pays cash
has the advantage over the man
who buys on Credit, and this too
APPLIES to both the merchant and
customer. All | ask is that you
come to see rae and get my prices
and see if my proposition will not
make you some money.
Respectfully,

self with the styles now in vogue,
Mrs Crummett will be in posi-
ton to render to her customers and
the public generally the very best
service, and with this in view she
respectfully asks a continuance of

that is lost, it is lost forever. You

symptom of eye strain is a warn

you are making your condition
just that much worse. If your

Brazil, Ind. May 29.-Last Thurs
day week, after u terrific storm, a
stream of water broke through into

was i'll the mine at the time Later
workmen went into the mine to find
the body of the animal and bring it
out. Late in the night they camehp-
on it, and to their astOnishment, the
mule was alive, standing with its head
just above the water. where it had
doubtless remained for the last four
days.
No one can offer an explanation of
Low the animal escaped death by
drowning or Suffocation by gas. The
timbers near the animal used in sup
porting the roof of the mine had been
gnawed away in its hunger When
the rescuipg crowd arrived the mule
showed its delight in many ways, al
though almost too weak to stand.
