A.SHOP LIFTER. ,2C?

GREENFIELD HAS A KEAL LITE MALE SHOP LIFTER.

Today she entered the game store, to fiud two clerks on watch, and she made a straight shoot for the rear end of the store and stopped in front of the meat counter and was just in the act of lauding a choice piece of breakfast bacon, when one of the clerks stepped up and commenced removing the meat. She seemed to take the hint, at least she did not buy any, nor did she tarry long, but made a straight shoot across the street to another grocery, and the REPUBLICAN was not far behind. But the old girl was foiled, for the momeac she left the first store, a telephone message put the other parties on their guard and they were on the lookout for her, and when we got there she was in the rear of the store but the clerk had his weather eye on her, and having an occasion to step out in front asked us to keep watch on her, which we did, and we feel safe in saying she got nothing there. We watchdd her closely as she entered and came out of various business houses, but think her trip down town Friday in the rain was in vain. This same woman has taken several occasions to rush into print and we wish to say to her that she will not only get in print, but in jail the very next time she is caught at this kind of business.

The Union Soldiers Coiony in Georgia. The American Tribune's Colony for old Union soldiers at Swan, in Wilcox county, Ga., is now well under way. They have bought many thousands of acres of Ifnd, laid off a city, which has been named Fitzgerald, in honor of the promoter of the colony. Five, ten, twenty and eighty acre tracts of land are being laid off and allotted to purchasers. There are already about 2,000 old soldiers there. As the majority of those gone and those who will go draw pensions it will take considerable money into the State of Georgia. An excursion is run on the first Tuesday of each month to the colony from the Northern States. Tuesday, Dec. 3, John Fry and Wm. Niles, of Charlottesville will go there. They have not fully made up their minds as to locating there, but will investigate very thoroughly before deciding. We know of no other ex-soldiers who are going from this county. While we have made no special investigation of this colony scheme, we are free to remark that on its face it shows up better for the promoters and the Georgia people who sell their laud than it does for the Northern soldiers who put their good money into it. It is hard to equal Indiana as a State, and as for beating her, let those who think they can, try. Low priced land to settlers is not always indicative of a bargain, as lots of land in the Uniied States is sold at from $1.00 to $2 00 per acre, and a great deal is not worth a quarter of that.

If enough money

taken into the col

ony it can be made to go, but if men go there without much money or a source of income they will see a sorry time. It will pay every one who thinks of going there to make a very thorough investigation before investing money there.

Rub's Pon.y

Last Monday as the rain fell in torrents there drove up to the blacksmith shop of Yickery & Meek, a couple of young men, in an open buggy, driving a pretty little pony. The boys were soaking wet and the pony about played out. They said they were from Richmond and were going to Indianapolis, but were of the opiuion that riding on the cars was much more pleasant than in an open buggy on a rainy day, so thev offered their rig for sale. Everybody knows that Bub Vickery is not a horse trader, but in order to help the boys out he gave them $5 for the pony, buggy and harness, and they left for, perhaps, Indianapolis. The buggy alone is worth double the amount, and Bub says he got a bargain, provided no one comes along and claims the rig, and if they do, he is not much loser.

She Has Been Carrying on Her Nefarious Work tor More Thau a Year—Trapped at Last.

There is in Greenfield, living in the Northwestern part, a woman perhaps fifty years of age who has for the past year made it a practice to enter first one and then another grocery, during the noon hour when most of the clerks were at dinner, and stand around for a time and then call for something in the rear, or wareroom, and as soon as the clerk would leave her alone she would fill her sket, which she always carrys under her l*rge shawl with whatever came handy, This procedure had been going on for some time before the clerks found it it, and a few days ago a trap was set for her iu one of our leading groceries, in 1 in it she stepped. The boys instead of going to dinner, secreted themselves about the store to await her coming, and they did not have long to wait, for here she came and found only one clerk, and after looking around for a time, called for five cents worth of lard, which is kept in a room at the rear of the building. No sooner had the clerk left the room than this gay old dame was filling her basket with toilet soap, extract of lemon, and in fact everything she could lay hands ou, little thinking that at least four pair of eyes were upon her. After getting htr lard she immediately ler.t the store and the boys arose from their hiding and told the story, and thu-i ends the first chapter.

A WOMANS NEW CLUB.

The Gratiatim Literary League—ttreeufield Quite a Center for YVomeus Clubs.

The above heading may seem a little ambiguous, but it means what it says, a "Womans New Club," not the old fashioned puniuieling club, but a literary club and it is distinctly a "Womans New Club" and not a New Womans Ciub. Now as t-o the organization of the club:

Ou a very warm day, the 9th of May, 1895, when all nature was taking on new life at an »uuusual rate for that time of year, a bevy of young ladies met on the front piazza at No. 24 North street. As an outcome of this meeting a literary waif was born, and clothed in the habiliments ot meekness and innocence. For an infant so small some grave fears were entertained yet great hopes weie expressed that it might become a strong, healthy factor of the great literary circles in this noted city—made so by being the home of noted potts.

Great care was necessary to nurture this child so young and tender and that its older sisters might not look on it disapprovingly, it was decideu to keep it perfectly quiet until near frost and feej it only on the milk of human kindness. Just what to name this young one, which was yet to become famous, was a matter hard to solve, aud caused many comments and suggestions, but after due deliberation, it was decided to call it "Giadalim Literary League.'- Thus bound are the members in literarv work with every one determined 'o do her part to progress, step by step, as their name implies Now this healthy, robust child has grown to her limited number, fifteen. These ladies have been greatly favored by securing as a correspending member, Louisa Bosnian McCaiu, who is a member of the National Association of Writers, and who is liberal in sending ta her class papers and poems.

Every meeting seems to grow a little better than the last.. The League met Friday with Mrs. Prof. Mack. The characters studied were Irving, Cooper, Poe and Willis and some of their productions. Particularly interesting were the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow," and "Rip Van Winkle," with the sure enough views by one of the members who had been there. Of Anthony Nose, Tarry Town, Sleepy Hollew, Sunny Side, Sing Sing and other places memorial of Irving and his sketches.

A paper on "Hebrew Poetry," and a poem, "A Common Etching," both from Mrs. McCain, were read. The poem only verified the words of another, who said— Fires that burn in quiet long and brightly glow, Flames that rush and riot soon to ashes go.

Another enjoyable feature of these meetings is that after two hours of study a social of half an hour is greatly enjoyed, sometimes one way, sometimes another. Friday Mrs. Mack delighted her company with music, and every one went from Prof. Mack's glad they were members of Gradatim Literary League.

JOHN LINVIIJUS CLEARED.

The Third Time is the Charm—The Defeiine Made No Argument, But Let the Case Go to the Jury.

The case of the State vs. John Linville was decided at noon today. The jury brought in a verdict af acquitttal after being out only a few minutes. There seemed to be considerable bad blood between the complaining witness and the defendant, and this feeling seemed to be so'strong that it affected the attorneys in the case. There were several passages of bitter words between the attorneys during the trial.

John Linville was employed by O. C. Irwin & Co. as engineer at their electric light plant in th.s city. While he was in the-employ of said company^ he figured with the Gant Bros, on putting in another plant. A short time after this he lost his position, and was arrested for stealing tools. A search warrant was issued and some tools belonging to thejcompany were found in his possession. He, however, laid no claim to the tools and said that they had gotten mixed with his tools and that he had no desire or intention of keeping them.

If Mr. Linville is innocent, as he has been found, it is very unfortunate for him that he has been subjected to the ex pense and humiliation of two oi three trials. If Mr. Irwin has been prompted by malice in his actions and has been persecuting Mr. Linville instead of prosecuting. there should be some redress. Linville has many friends here who are glad that he can now rest easy. His employers, the Noblesville Light & Power Co., stood by him very faithfully, as they are well pleased with his services and ability.
