DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES,
Are^RatherSlow in Announcing Themselves. It is a little peculiar that so few Democrat candidates have announced themselves. The primary convention April the fourth is only about a month off and yet there are hut four candidates who have announced. Theodore L. Smith, of Brandywine township, and Paul Hagan, of Vernon township, for Treasurer John Manche, of Sugar Creek, for Commissioner, Western district, and John F. Wiggins, of Center township, for Prosecutor.
There are other candidates we understand who have not announced themselves: Sheriff W. H. Pauley for renomination, Noah Speagle, of Green township, aleo for Sheriff and Henry W. Wilson, of Green, for Treasurer.
A Fine Hog Sold.
Last week, Scott Mints, of Buck creek Tp., sold one of his fine poland china, male hogs, Matchless, No. 13327, sired by Prince Tecumche, 6691 for $100 cash. The hog was shipped to Wm. J. Hackney, of Oakland, Warren Co.,Ky. Mr. Mints was offered before the fair season opened in 18S5, $130 for Matchless, Lut be preferred to exhibit hira, and he won much more than the difference in price in premiums. Mr. Mints and his brother, the late Thomas Mints, had a national reputation as breeders of fine Polan Chinas. They always had the best of stock and commanded the top price.
Mr. Scott Mints will continue the business and has quite a large number of fine brood sows on hands. The Mints Bros, made a great success of their business and we predict continued success for Mr. Scott Mints, as he thoroughly under stands the business in all its branches.

TRAMPS! TRAMPS!
Tramps Are Flocking to Greenfield From All Points. Greenfield is becoming infested with tramps, tramps of a high aud low degree, almost every train that stops here brings anew supply of tramps, tramps of all kinds. Tramps too proud to beg, too honest to steal hunting work at which to make a living others who will work a few days, "skui" everybody they can, si-ip their board-bill and leave others who are de-pera^e cnaracters, who get a living the easiest wray they can, and who co not care who it comes of) or how they get it.
They all claim to b? bottle glrss blowers seeking work at Holhveg & Reese's ass factory. A large number are mere boys who come, they say, in answer to letters from Streeter, who has promised them work. They come expecting to get living wa-^es, but most of the-n are ciisapoii^ed. Two of them, who were brothers, from Anderson left town yesterday on a freight train, the oldest one a boy of atiout twenty years of age, who siid he coul-i make but forty eight eeuts a day, that was the largest amount he made, several days he did not mukn that much: ihe other a boy about sixteen rG .irs old, s:ikl hss could mike but thirtyfive cents a. day. The-e boys wvre gL-ss ga'h-rers A? this was it enough to par th iir boircl, and as fchey ca ne here without nny money, they n. to leave their board bili par:iy, if not all of it unpaid.
A big change has taken place at the bottle factory ,f-ince it mis run as a union fado.'y b- .nniag, and ai'ter-vards "j Tigner, then most o' the emp'oyes were men and boys, the mou received from one dollar r.o a dollar and seventy-five cents day—the b~ys from sixty cents to a dollar a day. Now as a non-union factory mo-t os the employes are girls and boys who receive from three to four-j and a half dollars a week. Many of these bovs and giris ought t) be in school instead of working in a factory. I
As it is now r'""D, the frctory is a detriment instead of an aid to Greenfield, ft brings lit' le money hare as most of the glass blowers and gatherer^ have a father or mother to help support and send most of their money to them. A'so it bi\n's an undesirable class of citizens here, men who have no homes and want none— quite different from the steady industrious men who first came to Greenfield with their families to work in the factory and make Greenfield their home.
THE VOICK Ofc' TliIS PEOPLE.
The Six O'clock Closing: Rule And How it Works.
The above caption appears as the heading of an advertisement for one of our business men in which he says he desires to get an expression of the trading public as to what they think of the business houses clo-ing at six o'clock.
If the gentleman had lived in this town as long as the old business men who have aided in uilding up the town by long days of business cares, working from the early hours till late at night, neglecting home associations in order to establish a business reputation and good homes, he would be as loud in his objections as any one. Now in all candor does it look like business etiquette for a stranger to come into our midst and lay down ruies for our old business men to follow? As to testing the question by "keeping open house for thirty days" our business men, some of them, have been doing so for thirty years and have concluded to try closing at six o'clock, after getting an expression on the subject, obligating themselves to do so for three months, at the end of nrhich time they may continue to close at that hour, or establish a uniform hour to close during ccrtain months of the year.
It is only a matter of education whether stores close early or late. The trade can be educated to do most of their trading at night or all in the daytime. Be that as it may, it is selfish and greedy for one to jump in and take advantage of the situation and try to monopolize the night trade when all others by their obligation, have their hands tied behind them. Those who favor early closing, and they are legion, deprecate such an act and will patronize only those who are in accord with them.

There were fifteen invited guests present and all report an enjoyable time.

A ROYAL FLUSH.

The king of the Belgians is seldom seen in the theaters of Brussels, caring little for theatrical performances. He objects, too, to sitting in the royal box at the various houses of amusement. The queen, on the contrary, is passionately fond of thi theater, and rarely misses a first night.
