GREENFIELD is full of active, energetic business men who are public spirited and do much toward the upbuilding of our city and County. There is however a spirit of jealousy or rivalry cropping out that does the city no good. The pios perity of one man only helps all others and they will also prosper more. Let us get closer together and all act hinio niouily and always be actuated with the laudable purpose of advancing Green and her interests. Now for a pull) & strong pull and a pull altogether.

IN nn.ny cities over the State",we .reac. of saloon keepers meeting to decide whether they should obey the£Nicholson law or not, and they alwajs decided to obey the law. That any body of men should determine whether they should obey they law or not is arrant nonsense. People generally do not hold rna^ meetings to determine whetht-r the} should obeylthe law or not. Such actions ir.ake people tired. Saloon keepers should obey thejlaw .justjis

THE EDITORIAL, EXCURSION*

To Atlanta, Georgia, October 7th to 14th.

The four Editorial Associations |of Indiana, viz., the Republican, the^Democrat and the Northern and Southern Indiana, will unite in an excursion to Atlanta, Ga., and other Southern points in October. B. F. Hitchcock, ofj'the Bedford Mail, is chairman and J. A. Kemp, af the Salem Leader, secretary, of the joint committee. At a meeting J. A. Kemp, of the Republican Leader. Salem, was chosen chairman of the committee and general manager of the excursion, and h3 was instructed to get rates from the Pullman Car Company and make arrangements for transportation of the party, the route most favoredj'being the L. & N. from Louisville to Nashville Nashville, Chattauooga & St. Louis from that city to Atlanta, with stop-off at Nashville and Chattanooga, going.'

The itinerary mentioned as follows: All could leave home Monday morning by most direct routes to Louisville, arriving there abmt 7:30 p. leaving Louisville about midnight and arriving at Nashville for breakfast. Leave Nashville at 12:30 p. m. Tuesday, arriving at Chattanooga at 6 p. tn. Leave Chattanooga at 3 p. m. Wednesday, and arriving in Atlanta at 1:80 p. m.

ADDITIONAL FACTS.

The railroads will insist that the transportation be furnished only to the editor or publisher who is a member of one or more of the Indiana Editorial Associations and one member of his family. The

Mtj

and members of the Chamber of Commerce promise the editors a grand Tennessee welcome at Nashville. Mayor Ochs writes that Chattanoogna will gladly welcome the Indiana Journalists and that he will join the Chamber of Commerce and Young Men's Business Club in seeing thit they are well taken care of while in their city. The Cotton States Exposition will tender the editors free admissions during their visit and courtesies of the management.

RAISING TEA IN AMERICA.^.,

•$

The Fioneer Plantation Is at Pinebnrst In South Carolina.

The only plantation on this continent where tea is grown successfully for the market is at Pinehurst, S. C. Dr. Charles U. Shepard, who is making tea culture his life work, thinks 20 acres enough to lay out in gardens at present, though eventually he expects to double this area. And it is a queer looking patch, this 20 acres. The doctor has simply made a clearing in the woods, and as the visitor emerges from the trees into the open space he sees what is apparently a stunted peach orchard, only the leaves are too small and of a very dark green. On a closer examination the leaves resemble those on currant bushes, though they grow on stalks thick enough for tree branches. Some plants are as high as the waist and some nearly as high as the head. Planted at regular intervals and in rows with branches carefully pruned, they resemble an orchard of small fruit trees, with the branches forking like peaches. But it is not an orchard. It is a garden similar to thousands in China and other Asiatic countries. It is a genuine tea garden.

To those who have seen the cheap prints and china representations of tea bushes growing on mountain sides these straight rows along the fiat ground have an unfamiliar look, but it is the climate, and not so much the "lay of the land," that fosters them. Right in this Carolina forest the temperature happens to be the best in the country for tea growing. It is just about warm enough, and just about moist enough, and heat, combined with moisture, is the special requirement to make good tea leaves. The 20 acres of "gardens" contain several thousand "shrubs. From these the owner hopes to secure this year about 1,000 pounds of black tea, which will retail at $1 and $1.40 per pound. Last year his crop was about 500 pounds from an area of 15 acres. This is considerably better than raising cotton at the present prices, so he thinks.

The garden contains shrubs raised from tea seed imported from Japan, China, Ceylon, Formosa and Asam, Asia also what are called Asam hybrids, which are considered the most profitable, and Ceylon hybrids, which are obtained by mixing the seed of the pure Asam or Ceylon with some other grade.

The shrubs grow six feet apart, as they require a large amount of nourishment and exhaust a large area of ground. Shingles or straw are placed over the plants when the first shoots appear, and every care is taken to protect them from frost until they have reached a height of two or three feet, when they become fairly hardy and can withstand usually the changes of temporature which occur during the year. The shrubs can be grown by grafting, but are less hardy than if raised by the seeding process.

When the shrub is about three feet high, the harvesting of the tea begins, and this is perhaps the most interesting stage of all. Armed with a sharp knife, the fieldhand cuts off in May about half of the leaves and smaller branches. If the growth has been healthy, the shrub throws out a new foliage of leaves at once. These are the tea leaves of commerce. They will run from one to two inches in length, according to the variety. They sire picked off as fast as they reach a suitable size, and the operation is repeated from May until October as often as the leaves come out. It is termed "flushing. The most profitable species are naturally those that can bear the most flushing. At Pinehurst seven is the largest number of flushes during the season.—"America's Only Tea Garden" in Boston Herald.

Two Corporations Clash.

"This bill," protested the man at the window, "calls for $2.64 for gas burned in June, and there wasn't anybody in the house during the entire month, to my certain knowledge." "The meter tells a different story, sir,'' replied the cashier at the gas company's office, "and we have to go by the meter $2.64 is right." "Well, I'll pay it," said the other, taking out his pocketbook with great apparent reluctance. "Your name, I think, is Buggies. Here is your ice bill for last February, amounting to $2.96. We have called your attention to it several times, but you have always refused to pay it on the ground that you did not know any ice was left at your door during that month and you didn't need it It wasn't our fault if you didn't know it The books show that the ioe was left there, and we have to go by our books. The difference is 82 cents, and if you will just hand over the amount"—

Here they clinched.—Chicago Tribune.

BHCM and Book*.

The latest charge brought against the bicycle is that it injures the bookseller's trade. Books never have the same sale in summer as in winter, despite the fact that paper covered novels are in demand by the loungers at the seashore, but this year there is said to be a more than usual depression in the trade. The wheelman is blamed for this, as it is logically argued that while indulging in his favorite pastime he cannot possibly be reading a book, and that when he gets home from his spin he is too tired to read. As the cycling craze is constantly increasing, the result of its growth upon literature would make an interesting study.—Philadelphia Record.

GEMS IN VERSE.

A Tragedy.

That's him thar, on his coffin, in the cart,' An that's his wife a-creepin In the crowd, 'way off, an weepin. Oh, the law is jest a-breakin of her heart!

That's him thar, on the scaffol. See! He speaks. Thar's a woman thar a-holdin Of the hands they'll soon be foldin, AN the tears is jest a-rcinin down her cheeks.

That's him thar, in the coffin, lyin low, An the woman—first to love him An the last to bend above him

his mother—but I reckon you would know. —Frank L. Stanton.

Sweet Patience.

Oh, trifling task so often done, Yet ever to be done anew 1 Oh, cares which come with every sun,

Morn after morn, the long years through 1 We shrink beneath their paltry sway— The irksome calls of every day.

The restless sense of wasted power, The tiresome round of liable things, Are hard to bear as hour by hour

Its tedious iteration brings. Who shall evade or who delay The small demands of every day?

The bowlder in the torrent's course, By tide and tempest lashed in vain, Obeys the wave whirled pebble's force,

And yields its substance gram by grain. So crumble strongest lives away Beneath the wear of every day.

We rise to meet a heavy blow— Our souls a sudden bravery fills— But we endure not always so

The drop by drop of little lllsl We still deplore and still obey The hard behests of every day.

The heart which boldly faces death Upon the battlefield, and dares Cannon and bayonets, faints beneath

The needle points of frets and cares The stoutest spirits they dismay— The tiny things of every day.

And even saints of holy fame, Whose souls by faith have overcome, Who wore amid the cruel flame

The molten crown of martyrdom, Boro not without complaint alway J. The petty pains of every day.

Ah, more than martyr's aureole, And more than hero's heart of fire, We need the humble strength of soul

Which daily toils and ills requiro. Sweet patience, grant us, if you may, An added grace for every day. —Elizabeth Akers Allen.

Being Too Good.

It doesn't pay to be too good. But, then, few of us are. In fact most of us do not reach

The standard mark by far. We criticise our neighbors' faults, Mostly behind their backs— But who sets out to find what he

Himself most sorely lacks?

It doesn't pay to be too good. But, then, who ever knew A man who really was too good?

Such folks are mighty few. In most of us there is a streak— As fat is streaked with lean— Of something that unprejudiced

Observers would call mean.

It doesn't pay to be too goodJust good enough will do. It answers pretty well for me,

And it will serve for you. Don't fret about your neighbors' faultsIt isn't right you should— And bear in mind they try as hard

As you do to be good.

The Old Trundle Bed.

Oh, the old trundle bed, where I slept when a boy! What canopied king might not covet the joy? The glory and peace of that slumber of mine, Like a long, gracious rest in the bosom divine. The quaint, homely couch, hidden close from the light, But daintily drawn from its hiding place at night. Oh, a nest of delight, from the foot to the head, Was the queer little, dear little, old trundle bed I

Oh, the old trundle bed, where I, wondering, saw The stars through the window and listened with awe To the sigh of the winds as they tremblingly crept Through the trees where the robins so restlessly slept, Where I heard the low murmurous chirp of the wren And the katydid listlessly chirrup again, Till my fancies grew faint and were drowsily led Through the maze of the dreams of the old trundle bed.

Oh, the old trundle bedl Oh, the old trundle bed! With its plump little pillow and old fashioned spread, Its snowy white sheets and the blankets above, Smoothed down and tucked round with the touches of love The voice of my mother to lull me to sleep With the old fairy stories my memories keep Still fresh as the lilies that bloom o'er the head Once bowed o'er my own in the old trundle bed! —James Whitcomb Riley.

The Unseen.

When eyes are bright with hope, the skies are blue. The seas are mother o' pearl, the world is fair, Sunshine falls sweet on drops of diamond dew.

And fairies dwell in flower bells everywhere. When eyes are dim'with tears, the sldee are gray.

The seas are foaming floods, the world is cold, Sad mists creep down &tt shadow all the way,

And every face we meet seems strangely okL

But when the eyes are closed to outward-sights In sleep's dear dreamland, glories meet their gaze, Visions of hope-filled noons and love-filled nights,

Ot light aye radiant, made of rainbow rays.

Then, when they look within, the realms ol thought Lie all outspread—what has been, what shall be, Mountain and plain into right focus brought, "The unseen," say yon? Kay, what we best see.

The inward sight is true and clear and strong. Age dims it not no blindness comes with tears,

dishes.

Well.

For time is short, eternity is long, And souls are m«de for eons, not for years. —Chambers' Journal. &y*

The Land of Best.

Here lies an pld woman who alwayswas tired. For she lived in a house where help was not. hired. Her last words on earth were: "Dearfriends, I am going Where nothing ain't done, nor churning, nor sewing, And everything there will be just to my wishes, For where they don't eat there's ho washing of

I'll be where loved anthems will always be ringing, But having .no voice I'll get rid of the singing. Don't mourn for me now, ind don't mourn for me never, Por I'm going to do nothing forever and ever!" —Newburyport Herald.

Sympathy.

fthen our eyes melt not with another's woea, llethinks 'tis time they should forever close. —Walter Savage Lwdnr.

"For four years I was a sufferer from nervous debility. During that time I took a great many remedies without getting any help until I tried Paine's celery compound. I took six bottles of that remedy and was cured. I cheerfully recommend Paine's celery compound."

So writes Mrs. M. S. Schoonmaker of 80K Jane street, New York City. Too many women needlessly suffer from nervous troubles, not only in the cities, but everywhere. -J

Their whole world too frequently lies inside the four walls of their homes. Think of the many persons, men as well as women, who spend most of their lives barricaded within the narrow confines of their dwellings. Summer finds them pale and tired out. Their store of nervous vitality has been slowly brought down by vitiated air and sedentary life. Their whole system needs a thorough replenishing. The nerves want nourishment, the tissues are not half supplied with material for the repair of their parts, and the great vital organs must have
