Interest Great In the New fork Result.
Voting commenced in this city promptly at 6 o'clock and by 7 thirty-eight votes were cast at the Fifth precinct. This is the largest vote reported in that time. Nearly all the day a line of men has been waiting there to take their turn in the booth. It has been the custom for U. S. Jackson to have the privilege of the first vote in his precmct. This -morning he lost out. Earl Sample went into the room to administer the oath to the board and while there cast the first ballot im the precinct.
The vote has been going in satisfactorily it appeared to the politicans. The day has been beautiful and many of the disagreeable features of election day were absent.
The interest taken in the election was apparent from the number of young men who came home from a distance to vote and the few men it was necessary to haul to the polls
Last night the Democrats held open house and smoker in the court house. Cigars were free and plentiful. It was in no sense a secret meeting but was open to the world. Several candidates were present and had out the glad hand to all comers.
While there is the usual in terestin the county election, the big event, even in Greenfield, appears to be the battle in New York.

Press telegrams from there say the vote is heavy and the day is beautiful and pleasant.

The Barnard sorghum factory at Eclen made 19,701 gallons of molasses this year. That was 6,000 gallons more than they ever made before in one season. The business of the factory has been steadily increasing each year, but this year it made a big jump. The cane was late this fall on account of the late rains, and quite a great deal of it was destroyed by the early freeze. Mr. Barnard lost ten acres himself, and quite a number of farmers did not get their cane cut before the freeze came. Most of the molasses made by the factory has been sold. Elwood Barnard says that he does not think he will have any left by December 1st. He says it is wonderful what a sale they have for their molasses in Greenfield, and that it is growing rapidly each year.

Objects to Croquet.
A friend hands in the following for publication: "Sunday ball playing for pay has been strictly prohibited but nothing has been said about Sunday croquet.

Ohio to Indianapolis.
A queer outfit passed through Greenfield today enroute from Chillicothe, O., to Marion county, west of Indianapolis.
The outfit consisted of a wagon drawn by an ox and belonged to the driver, John Grundy. The wagon contained his utensils for cooking and some furniture for housekeeping.
The ox was ten years old, Mr7 Grundy said, and had made the trip without particular incident other than the curiosity attracted by the unusual method of locomotion.
The desire for photographs has been a source of income to Mr. Grundy as be ask^d a fee of fifty cents for the privilege of a snap shot.
The ox was a large animal and pulled the load with ease. He was shod similar to a horse. Mr. Grundy said he passed through Greenfield forty years ago and had not seen the city since. He also said he was not interested in the election.

Preacher Makes Money.
A special from Kokomo says that the Rev. W. D. Parr holds to the theory that God placed money here for our good and that as long as a man is conscientious and honest in his methods of acquiring it, the gain of it is a God-given privilege, and that there is as much sense in a preacher being a success iu financie as any other man, which in the nature of the case enlarges his ability of Christian usefulness.
The Rev. Parr was a prime mover in the organization of the Atlanta Tin Piate Works, and invested iu the Kokomo Steel plant, independent. At heart he is one of the most earnest advocates of a repeal of the duty on steel billets and his campaign, should he enter politics, would be an advocacy of this principle.
Dr. Parr is well known in Greenfield. He preached the serafon at the dedication of the Bradley M. E. church and has been in this city on several occasions.
