selves if they would insist on monthly settlements. If all the merchants would get down to that system and would require settlements the first of every month and would pay their own bills on presentation and without the usual “come around again” the little money in Greencastle would go a good deal farther and debts would not clog the channels of trade. It would be better to encourage cash dealing along the line but monthly settlements would be a step in the right direction and the cash plan would be the next step and an easy one. Ever)’ man who is now run ning behind with his grocer, butcher and barber should starve himself a week and then pay spot cash

ever after.

COUNTY NEWS NOTES.

We desire to call the attention of our readers to the men who ad vertise in this paper. They go to work and spare no pains or expense in looking up goods of all descriptions, such as the people of this county need and buy. They buy these goods at bargains and sell them to you the same way, which will save you money. When you trade with our advertisers tell them you saw their at! in the Banner Times.

The first meeting of the Indiana Centennial Commission, organized for the purpose of Holding a cele bration in 1900 of the hundredth anniversary of the organization by Indiana as a territTry occurred this week in Indianapolis. Something great is being arranged for.

The state press have been gener ously printing an item to the effect that there is to be another eclipse on Oct. 17. The Banner Times was led into the same error. Scientific men claim such an event would be an impossibility at that time. We are not moon posted so do not know.

HILLS. Some people pay bills and some promise to pay tomorrow, or next Saturday, and pay. Some other people highly respected and well connected, never pay. Others promise to pay every time the collector sees them and are very affable about it but the collector knows they will forget all about it before he gets out of sight, and when he calls again will sing the same song and turn him away empty. Life is a burden and death a desirable boon to the collector who is turned down at every corner. Is there no remedy for this? Why allow a man to run an account when it ought to be known that he never pays, never trys to pay, never in tends to pay, never promises to pay but to break bis word? The business men of the town ought to have seme way of letting each other “onto” such live beats and half dead beats as prey upon them. (Deadbeats ere generally known and need no attention). Business men Mould do a kindness to them-

Government 'Crop Bulletin. The Indiana crop bulletin for the week ending September 23 reported by the central weather station, Indianapolis, is as follows: Hot, dry, sunny weather con tinned the week, with strong winds in the southern | ortion. Corn matured very rapidly and nicely, and is safe from injury by' frost, or nearly so, except the very latest sown; most of it is cut and in shock, and in many localities it is the finest and largest crop for years. Tobacco matured fast; the crop is housed rapidly in fair condition, Buckwheat and millet are ripening rapidly, and in some counties s fair crop is being cut. Potato digging has begun : the crop is generally short except in the northern portion. Tomatoes are ripening fast, and great quantities are sent to the canning fae lories, Pasturage in general is still green but short, and needs rain soon. Clover hailing still con tinucs: the yield of the seed is fair; in some counties threshing Is done. Wheat seeding progresses although the ground is getting dry'. Rye and wheat sown early is coming up nicely and well, but in some fields the fly has appeared. • Strong winds blew off thousands of bushels of apples. Very much cider has been made. In some counties in the northern portion the peach crop is good. Stock in general is in good condition, but water in some localities is getting scarcer again. Tlit* Ladled' Home Journal Invents What is generally conceded in Philadelphia to be one of the most desirable building sites in the city' has just been purchased by The Ladies' Home Journal. The property is located at Sixth and Walnut streets, which means that it fronts on two of the most beautiful squares in Philadelphia, the famous Independence Square on the east and Washington Square on the south. The land acquired includes five properties. On May 1, next, the houses thereon will be torn down to make room for a building costing $27)0,000, to be solely owned and exclusively occu pied by the Journal, The building will require two years in its con-

struction.
