MEN of the city of Greenfield Who have experience in the management of the official business of Hie city of Greenfield think that it is one thing to talk about the running the business of the city in a model manner, and another thing to do so. There is perhaps considerable truth in their dictation. There does not seem to be many men in Greenfield breaking their necks to get on the ticket.

Beats the Lake Story.
Potato stories are now coming in as well as those about lakes. One gentleman claims to have -dug twelve bushels from one hill. Another sitnply opens a hill, cuts off enough potato for dinner, then closes the hill and lets the potato keep on growing A farmer up in Jackson township, who had his potato patch on a side hill is said to have had a serious mishap when he dug them. A large potato rolled down the hillside, crashed into a barn and killed a valuable horse. Another opened a hill of potatoes and five bushels of the tubers ran out before he could close the hill.
Back From the West.
Mrs. Mabel Denny, of this -city, and Miss Sadie Smith, her cousin, of Coshocton, O., returned Thursday evening from a live weeks1 trip through the West, which included a visit to the Portland Fair and all the "Western cities and pleasure resorts. Miss Smith remained in the. city over ni
^iit
and returned
to be) home Friday morning. The ladies report a very enjoyable trip and experiences decidedly interesting. While making a trip u]) a mountain on one of the little burros so common in that country- Mrs. Denny dropped her camera containing all of the films for the views she had taken on her trip and on. the following day the ladies were caught in a rain storm that ruined the cameras. They brought numerous valuable souvenirs home with them.

Mr. Binford's Appointment to the Reciprocity Convention.
The appointment by Governor Haulyof Elmer finford, of this city, as one of the Indiana delegates to the International Reciprocity Convention to be held in Chicago next week is a signal honor as the men who will meet on this occasion are selected by the Governors of the different states for their particular ability.
The International Reciprocity Convention of this year is considered of greatest importance throughout the country as, in addition to other things, the convention will deal with the questions of the tariff on imports from "our foreign possessions and with affairs relative to the delicate condition existing along the Canadian border and affecting the agricultural interests of that region.
The action of the convention will be an expression of opinion of the manufacturing business and agricultural interests of the United States, Mexico and Canada and will be attended by representative men from each of those countries. The delegate representing the different states of the Union are chosen by the governor of each state and each state is allowed a number of delegates in proportion to the prominence with which it figures in the national manufacturing and agricultural statistics.
Governsr Douglass, Massachusetts Governor Lafollette, Wisconsin and Governor Frazier, Tennessee, will head the delegations from their respective states and will use their joint efforts to have the convention bring the need of forest reserva. tion to the attention of Con. .uress. ...
TO PROTECT THEMSELVES
Local Merchants May Organize for The Benefit of Business.
The merchants of this city, it is currently reported, are preparing to perfect"an organization looking to their own protection in various ways. One of the main objects of the plan is to keep a tab on people who are careless with their accounts and allow their grocers and others to carry their bills for them, a thing by no means agreeable to the average merchant.
Credit business is admitted to be a curse in many instances and in fact there are but few times when there is any use for it, if the custom was universally observed. Many merchants have gone to the wall on account of credit, and not always for the reason that they sold on credit, but because they bought on the future pay plan. Bills soon accumulate and a man with a good credit and but little money can easily find himself without creditor money either.
As long as there is a credit system for the buyer and the seller, merchants will have com plaints to make of bad-pay customers, and all the organizations will not cure the disease. It may help the trouble for a time, but it is a difficult proposition to separate the man who can pay and won't and the man who will but can't.

WILL SUE THE RAILROAD
Railway Commission Takes Notice of Excess Baggage
The railroad commission has sent out circular letters to all the railroads in the State calling attention to their overcharge of excess baggage, and informing them that hereafter "every violation will be reported to the prosecuting attorney of the county, and a prosecution commenced and carried on by the commission against the railroad making the overcharge."
The law provides that the railroad companies can not charge, between two points in State, more than 12 per cent of the amount of a first-class fare between such points per 100 pounds for excess baggage over 150 pounds." The line for the violation of the provision is from §50 to §100. The complaint alleging that railroad companies exacted two or three times the legal charge came in to the commission trom one of the traveling men's organizations, and this adjustment is very satisfactory to them.
A LADY BUYER.
Mrs. Meredith Buys Cattle at Winter's Stock Sale.
New Castle Courier, says: The Shorthorn cattle sale, held in this city, Tuesday at the Peed barn on Race street, was a success in every particular, and Alvin Winters, whose cattle were sold expressed himself as being more than pleased with the results. In all there were thirty head of cattle sold, and they brought the sum total of siMOO, an average of each. The average price paid was cut down by the. older cattle which failed to bring as fancy prices as the younger ones, which averaged §100 and better. The highest price paid for an indi vidual heifer, was $150. Mr. Winters purchased her last spring, paying Ed. Payne $00 therefor.
Mrs. Virginia Meredith, the well known Cambridge City lady, purchased three head of choice cattle, and had them shipped to her home near Cambridge. Among the buyers from a distance was S. R. Quick, ol Gosport, who took seven head. Several cattlemen of Muncie were purchasers also.
TIME TO CUT WEEDS
The Law Says It Must Be Done This Month.
In many sections of Hancock county there has been sad negligence of the law xroviding for the clearance from the public highways, of thistles and noxious weed's. The period contemplated by law for the performance of this work is now at hand and expires on the 20th day of August. Now is th^ time to do the work. The law reads as follows: "All land owners through or along whose 'land public highways are laid out and extended, shall between the 1st day of July and the 20th day of August in each year, cause all briars, thistle and weeds growing along said highways, and contiguous to their lands, to be cut down and destroyed for the length and distance the said highway shall extend along ^or through their lands.

The August Smart Set.
Mrs. Burton Harrison's name has always been identified with particularly entertaining fiction and for many years she has not given us so capital a piece of work as "The Carlyles,' the long novel which opens the August number of The Smart Set. ft is by far her most important story, and is a distinct departure from her former novels. The scenes are laid "in and around l/iichmoncl, during the stirring days of antI the introduction, of several historical events adds greatly to the interest of a splendid, dramatic love story.

Richard Le C.allienue, is, perhaps, one ui the most, teresting figures in contemporary literature contributes to this number anidylic story wherein his delicate art is repealed at its best. "The Butterfly of Dreams" is the tanciful title he has chosen, and as a mere weaving together of exquisite words the sLory is incomparable. Elizabeth Jordan, well known through her tales of child life, writes another delightfully humorous story called "We Save Evelina May."' "The Good Man'' by Edna Kenton is a powerful psychological study of a woman who wearies of the petty tyranny of her unsympathetic husband.
