CRAWFORDSVILLE'S NEW ENTERPRISE.

The Street Car Scheme About to Go Through. For the past three or four years there has been more or less talk about street cars among our business uieu aud those interested in the prosperity of the community. At no time however have the prospects been as favorable as at the present time. The old time worn hobby about cutting up our beautiful streets iB giving way to the era of prosperity and the air of boom which has recently struck this place. Crawfordsviile iB the most beautiful residence place in the state undoubtedly. It has more beautiful houses, more wealthy people, more natural resources and is located in one of the richest and prettiest counties, and there is no reason why CrawTordsviile gifted as it is naturally should not take the lead. We have recently added to the city numerous manufactories, employing large numbers of meu and the public sentiment is now in favor of adding everything that goes with a wide awake progressive city. We want and will have a street car line, and nothing less than an electric line.

This would make the suburbs easily accessible, create a boom in real estate, put plenty of money in circulation aud in every other way make Crawfordsviile a place that would attract a great influx of people. We have electric lights, water works, half a doHen factories running on full time, are within reach of the great coal beds, have just completed arrangements to have natural gas here in the winter, and there is no reason why an ele«trie line of street cars woild not pay, and pay handsomely. G»

W. S. Brown, a prominent real estate man was approached on the subject, and wis asked as to what the best termini would be. Mr. Brown said: "I have long been interested in this subject and believe it is the Dest scheme that has yet been worked up to boom Crawfordsviile. Euglewood and Britton's Glen, would in my estimation be the best termini. I have approached various prominent railroad men and they would readily run excursions to this place if it would be made more accessible to the city. If the street car company or the city would buy this place aB a public park, such as they have in Terre Haute and other places the scheme of running cars to and from the place outside of the profits from regular fares would be immense. There is big money in the project for some one and we heartily endorse every word Mr. Brown says. Let everybody boom street cars. The public wants it, and with a little co-operation from those in a position to do good work the project will go through, aud it will be a big paying investment for those undertaking the work.

HIS HEAD FALLS.

Dr. Griffith, Eather than Perjure His Soul for the Good of the Cause Suffers Decapitation.

Dr. T. J. Griffith is at present very much after the manner of the man driving the hearse —not in it. He has fallen from grace. The beautiful, glittering regalia he was wont to hide under hlB seal-brown beard is no more, and he flies in his own wrath to escape the jeers, taunts and the Augers of scorn from his former brethren and sisters who formerly acted with him in the righteous work of putting down intemperance. It will bo remembered the gallant doctor recently swore before the counts commissioners to the moral character of one Jacob Freed, an applicant for a license to sell splritouB liquors in the town of New Market. The doctor swore that he had never sedn Freed in a state of intoxication and was a man of good character as far as he knew.

It appears that Griffith in his testimony, 1though true, created a grave offense, iu fact a crime, iu the code of lodge laws and punishable only by expulsion. Last Saturday ui& Ht at a meeting of Friendship lodge of Good Templars, of which Griffith has been for years an earnest, zealous worker, the matter was brought up aud the doctor expelled. Had Griffith testified that he had seen Freed drunk on numerous occasions, although he had'nl, and that Freed was a horse-thief, gambler and liar, although he knew nothing of the kii.d, the doctor would no doubt have received a reception almost equal to au innovation from his lodge brethren. But he did'nt. He simply told the truth to the best of his knowledge, aud for his honest, conscientious words he lias been disgraced by those who had sworn to befriend him iu trouble and champion his
