Murphy and McAvoy, the greatest Irish comedians, who are appearing in their old success, -'Flannigan's Wedding," are supported by Maggie Meridith, Leona Bland, Emma Rogers, Bert Howard, Geo. Sherwood, Fred Barth, Burt Avery, and last, but not least, the great and only Bicketts. With such an array of talent, •'Flannigan's Wedding" is the strongest attraction on the road this season. At the opera house Saturday, Dec. 14. Admission 35 and 50 cents.

The lecture at the opera house last night by Wm. Hawley Smith was well attended. No finer audiences ever assemble in Greenfield than those that attend the High School Lecture Course. The audience was well pleased, the subject being "What to Read and How to Read It," Mr. Smith paid a number of deserved compliments to the Hoosier Poet, James Whitcomb Riley, which were handsomely applauded. He recited a number of Mr. Riley's poems, but as they were somewhat old to the audience, they were not appreciated so much as his other selections. As a reader Mr, Smith is fine, and enteitains an audience in a happy manner.

A Plea for Mimical Culture.

Art if it be anything is the perpetual uplifting of what is beautiful. But men in the haste of their lives are continuity forgetting that wo need inspiration. Encourage the children in the art of music, which embraces the divine gift of poetry with music that is, song. This is apart of educational work. It helps to cultivate the emotions and to lay a good foundation to moral character. Giving public entertainments, creates a stimulus to the children. It also teaches them self possession, ease and grace of manners. Parents encourage your children, citizens assist in the advancement of education in this department. Attend tbe Little Bopeep Operetta. J. E. MACK.

Tennyson could take a worthless sheet of paper, write a poem on it, and make it wortn $65,000. THAT'S GENIUS.

Vanderbilt can write a few words on a sheec of paper and make it worth $5,000,000. THAT'S CAPITAL.

The United States can take an ounce and a quarter ofgold, stamp upou it au "Eajle Bird" and make it worth $20. THAT'S MONEY.

A mechanic can take material worth $5 and make it into watch springs worth $1,000. THAT'S SKILL.

A met chant can take an article worth $1 and sell it for $1.50, THAT'S BUSINESS.

Some people will go to Indianapolis to buy goods when they can save money by trading at home. THAT'S FOOLISHNESS.

A laborer works ten hours a day for $3 per day. THAT'S LABOR.

The writer of this could write a check for $800,0C0, but it wouldn't be worth anything. THAT'S ROUGH.

But when we sell you dolls childrens sets of dishes, chirtH, glassware, lamps and fancy baskets below all competition at home or abroad, and have the best line to select from, THAT'S REALITY.

Tlie Jury in The Case of White vs. Thomas, Disagree. Out Forty Hours.

The case of White vs. Thomas for $10,000 for alienating the affections of Mrs. White, came up for trial Monday afternoon. Senator Newby, of Knightstown, is assisting R. A. Black. The plaintiff introduced a great many witnesses and considerable damaging testimony was deyeloped. There has been some very indiscrete conduct on the part of some of the interested parties. Though much of the evidence would make very "interesting readin'" for some people, still there Is some of it that should not be published. If husbands would give more attention to their wives, and wives give more attention to their husbands, there would be less ground for slander and damage suits.

Today, after being out about forty hours the jury in this case brought in a verdict of disagreement, and were discharged. Eleven stood for •onviction and would have put the damages at $1,000, but Wm. F. Pratt, of this city, steadfastly refused to make a verdict against the defendant.
