VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
The Refuse From the Paper Mill—Shall the Nuisance be Abated.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN: Greenfield has made a great growth within the last few years, much of which is due to the location of factories here. The citizens have done a great deal to secure these factories. The feeling between the factory people and the old citizens is, as it should be, very friendly. No citizen of Greenfield can afford to oppose, without good cause, the operation of any of our factories. No factory that has been located in Greenfield has been operated more constantly than the Weston paper mill, but while this is true, and while we dislike very much to be put in a position where we may be termed a kicker, still we are oblidged to say that under the present plan of carrying off the refuse or wash from the paper mill, there is good and just cause for complaint. The people of the east part of the city are very much annoyed by the bad odors and stench that arise from the basins or vats into which the company discharges its wasts water and sediment from the mill. Besides the unpleasantness and annoyance, the people .in the vicinity of the paper mill experience, there is danger of disease. We think there can be no doubt but that in the region of the place where all the debris from the factory is deposited, the ^.atmosphere is freighted with disease. The matter should be looked after by the Weston paper company and some arrangements made to avoid the nuisance which these basins are sure to become. If they do not do something, some of the people will. It is not right that an entire community or a section of the city should be imposed upon in order that a few people may make money. We siucerly hope that there is some remedy. If it is a nuisance now what may we not expect it to become when the hot, dry an1 unhealthful season comes? A CITIZEN.
A Stolen Horse and Wagon.
Today Ambrose D. Hedges, of Indianapolis, was in the city looking for a horse ai»d wagon which was stolen from him last Wednesday night. He had tracked the thieves to this place.
Policemen Dndding and Johnson saw the outfit pass through here Thursday morning going east, and three men were in the wagon, two of them were heavy set and wore light clothes, the other was a tall, slim man and dressed in a dark suit. The horse was a large black mare about sixteen hands high and had been clipped, she had a scar on the left hind ankle.
A reward is offered for the capture of the thieves or a return of the horse and wagon.

Medical Writers.
The best medical writers claim iliat the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy of application, and one that will, by its own action reach all the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh during the past few years proves that only one remedy has met these conditions, and that is Century Catarrh Cure. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered Catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and surgeons concede this fact. The most distressing symptons yield to it.

SHALL BOYS GO TO COLLEGET
Soma Are Fitted Tor Life, and Other* Ar* Unfitted by ColUge Training.
Rev. Charles H. Parkhuxst, D. D., in his paper to young men in The Ladies' Home Journal, discusses "Shall We 3end Our Boy to College?" answering the query with the assertion, ''That depeffds a great deal on the boy. He announgon himself to be a thorough believer in toe oollege, but holds that' 'it might not be best for him (our boy) to go to college it might not be best for the community that he should. College can fit
A
man
for life, and also it oan unfit &im. There are styles of education that disqualify the student for doing what Jie ia competent to do, without qualifying him to do that which he might like to do, but for which he lacks and always willlack the prerequisites. As a general prineiple, the more a man knows the better, but so long as the present order of things continues a great amount of very ordinary work will require to tie done, and ordinary people will do ordinary work better than extraordinary people will and be a groat dpi more comfortable while doing it. Hordes of both sexes are entering college for the reason that they do not enjoy doing commonplace things. The result is that commonplace things arc left undone, and uncommonplaoe things fare still worse. Agriculture is the material basfs of a nation's strength and prosperity. We could dispense with either lawyers, doctors or ministers better than w© could with farmers. 'Probably we should not quarrel so much if there were fewer students of the law, should not be sick so much if there were fewer students of medicine, and should not be so wicked if there were fewer students of theology. All of these could contribute liberally to the ranks of the agriculturalists with advantage to the professions and to the grain and vegetable markets. I am not disparaging anybody, neither am I saying that it would not be a good thing, in itself considered, if every one, however material or menial his occupation, could receive all that the finest school or college training could confer, but that is not practicable at present and never will be till people get over thinking that there is a disgrace attaching to the doing of ordinary things.''
Old Coaching *)ays.
The old coaching days, as far as convenience for travel was concerned, were the dawn of the great days of our present rapid means of communication. Tho 70 years or so in which mail coaches waxed and flourished and finally died out before the incursion of railways and steam engines have a decided flavor of romance attached to them, and no doubt the coming and going of stagecoaches lent a certain amount of color and interest and life to the country places and towns through which ran the great main coaching roads. The Bath road, the Dover road, the York road were highways of communication along which rolled the heavy private coaches and chariots of the country magnates, and the stagecoaches with their steaming horses passed the various stopping places with the regularity of clockwork.
These stagecoaches, with their complement of coachmen and guards, afforded endless subjects of interest and illustration to theartM and the literary men of the day. Imagine Charles Dickens wiihout ri'iagecoaelics and denuded of all his vivid descriptions of the scenes sui'li as those in the yard of the White Hart inn, High street, Borough, in "Pickwick, or of the mail coach on the Dover road in "A Tale of Two Cities." It is difficult for the present general'ion-' to realize the fatigue and the wintry cold of such long journeys, when froze!i feet were enveloped in a little straw, and a "shawl" folded round the neck was thought to be a fit protection against the keen night air, a strong contrast to tho luxurious cushioned carriages, hot water tins and fur lined rugs and greatcoats of the present day. —London Spectator.
