Since the late l»ig lire at the | Capital City we again rise to re 1 mark that we believe Greencastle can give Indianapolis some pointers on fire proteetion. We have one of the best systems of water power, stand pipe pressure, fire plugs at close intervals, and a department that we will back against any in the state for promptness and quick response to fire calls. In fact, our firemen in noticing the work of firemen in large cities, including Indianapolis, have often smiled at the slow and bungling work done. In addition to splendid streets and close fire plugs, a fine hose wagon and a perfectly appointed engine house, centrally located, we have an electric fire alarm system that has boxes located in all of the wards of the city, evenly distributed. Greencastle has the best, and the absence of fires here is caused by having such a system. Still the democratic papers howl about h'gh taxes, when our taxes are not high, We will go before the state witli our fire protection and challenge

The invitation sent out to patrons to visit the schools has not been as generally accepted as we desired, for we feel that good would come from a better knowledge of the work and management of the schools If there are defects or supposed defects the teachers will be benefUted by having their at tention called to them. If there are misconceptions of the work they will be removed by a study in the schools themselves. The invitation is still extended to visit at any time and see the regular work. We are glad to have visitors at the special exercises at various times, but persons will have a much truer knowledge of the schools to see the regular everyday work K. A. Ogg.

every man to his claim or account which was filed for action beforo the county board. Under the old law the auditor got the fee himself, but Auditor Black stooped charg ing it after but a few attempts, as the charge had not been made by
his predecessor.
This year things are different The new law makes it the duty of the auditor to charge the lee and to pay the same into the county along with other tees. As the boarfl of commissioners require a sworn statement (though there is some dispute as to their right to so do) Auditor Denman states he has no choice in the matter and that be will require an affidavit from every one, even the county com missionera themselves when they make they make their afildavit for salary. There is some kicking over the matter but it seems an af Udayit will have to te made. The law provides that “no al lowanees shall be made by the com missionera unless the claimant shall file with such commissioners a detailed statement of the items, nor until such competent proof thereof is adduced in favor of such claim as is required in other courts; hut if the truth of such charge be known to the commissioners it may be allowed without other proof upon that fact being entered of record in the proceedings about the claim.” An affidavit from a notary will do as well as one by the auditor and any one who can “work” a notary friend can thus get out of paying the 25 cents. Or if a man wanted to take a set of witnesses before the board he could thus swear his claim through. The question is causing some dissatisfaction as n man with a twenty-five cent claim would have to pay a quarter to have it allowed.
oyer the city; bakers send off and buy flour; the miller buys the home raised wheat; the farmers buy of the cheap Jriin Pedler; the hotels send off for their supplies; the moneyed man takes in the cheap excursion and lays in his stock abroad; the poor man buys at home. Now if the farmer patronized home trade as the miller does and the baker sells to the gro ceryman and stop his peddling, the grocer would supply his customers and buy bread at home, give more for country produce and in the end all would lie much happier, wiser and better men.

The holiday season, when the purse of the people is freely opened, and everyone feels the general goodwill so universal at that time, is close at hand. ^ The shrewd merebant avails himself of the opportunity to present his patrons with a holiday souvenir, prized for its beauty and elegance, and which will, if in the shape of a Calendar, prove an advertisement of his business throughout the entire Buc-ceeeding year, and therefore a money maker. The Banner Times has been fortunate in securing the agency of the August Cast Bank Note and Lithb Co. of St. Louis, which is the largest manufacturing and importing house in tlie country, and whose fine work requires no introduction.
