HORSE NOTES.

BEST COLT IN THE COUNTY. F. M. Elsbury, of Bluerirer township, took 1st premium at the late fair on his sucking mare colt, exhibited in the ring for the best colt in this county. She was sired by James McNamee's famous draft horse, Elegance. She also took 2d premium for draft. This speaks well for Mr. McNamee's horse, and he has many other fine colts in Hancock county.

Don Pizarro paced a mile in 2:14% at Cincinnati Tuesday. He came within of a second of beating the record for three-year-old pacers, which was set by Yolo Maid, at San Francisco, this summer, in 2:14.

Andy Yetter went to New York recently, and brought home with him that fine stallion, Pochahontas Boy, now 23 years old. He will make the fall season at $100. He is the sire of Buffalo Girl, 2:12}£ Gurgle, 2:20: Raven Boy, 2:17 American Boy, 2:26, and many other good ones.

Charles Tague went over to Winchester last week and purchased the fine imported Canadian stallion DeCourcey. He was four years old last Spring, and weighs 1,520.pounds. He is ahorse of good bone and muscle, and remarkable fine action. Mr. Tague will make the fall season with both DeCourcey and Jim Blaine.

At the races on Tuesday at Indianapolis at the meeting of the Indiana Trotting and Pacing Horse Breeders Association, the results were as follows.

Oliver Posey & Son who have been in Kentucky for the past fortnight, made two purchases last week which are attracting the interested attention of horsemen. They bought of V. C. Cromwell, of Cromwell Place, Lexington, Ky„ two yearling stallions of the best breeding that America affords, and both of great individual merit and promise. These colts are Guy Corbitt, foaled 1888, sired by Guy Wilkes, 2:153^ 1st dam Minnie Wills, by Sultan, 2:24 2d dam Kittie Wilkes, by George Wilkes,2:22 (dam of Rajah, 2:28K) 3rd dam Snipnose, by American Clay (dam of Garnet, 2:19. The second of the pair is Baron Wood, foaledin 18cJ8, sired by Baron Wilkes, 2:18 1st dam Neva, by Nutwood, 2:18% 2d|dam Kate Patchen (3 year-old, 2:42) Kate Patchen by Mambrino Patchen 3rd dam Lady Abdallah (dam o£ Don Carlos, 2:23, and Granville, 2:26.) Lady Abdallah is by Alexander's Abdallah, (sire of Goldsmith Maid, 2:14). The prices paid are confidential, but run up into four big figures.— Rushville Republican.

The entries for the fall meeting of the Cambridge City trotting park association. Sept. 17 to 20, closed last Saturday evening with every class full, and with the largest number ever known in the history of the association, and numbering over seventy-five horses in nine pacing and trotting classes. The entries for the running races do not close until Sept. 17, and they will swell the number to over one hundred. The free-for-all pace, which contains such lleet animals as Gray Harry, Pickaway, Willard M., Daisy C., Wayne Wilkes, Big Wonder, Prince Echo and Black Henry, is a fair criterion of all the classes. The prospect for many exciting and speedy contests never was so good. Last spring's races were "drowned out. The association promises to make all up this fall.

Kuunion of the Regiment.

The 99th Indiana will hold their annual reunion at Pafflins Hall Indianapolis September 24 and 25. All members are expected.

The Greenfield Iron and Nail Works.

Work is progressing rapidly in East Greenfield. There are a large force of men at work laying foundations, etc. The mills will arrive soon. The gas

well

under the direction of Thompson & Sharp, of Edinburg, the contractors, is progressing finely. In fact, everythig is progressing nicely and Greenfield will soon have one of the best and largest manufacturing establishments in the State.

Teacher's Examination.

There will be a special examination for teachers held in the High School building, by Superintendent Jackson, to-inorrow, September 15.

A Chance for Vouiig Men.

The south of the future is not to be tfaie south of the past. Agriculture is no longer to be the absorbing industry, but one of many industries, as great, or even greater, than it was, but allied to others that will give new impetus and vigor to it and make the southland hum with renewed life and energy. In this career of industrial development the south will have need for the services of her young men of genius, push, industry and perseverance. There is room today and an inviting field for thousands of this kind. She needs civil engineers, mining experts, architects, pattern makers, machinists, molders, carpenters, stone cutters and brick masons, skilled operatives in factory and shop. She needs every man with a bright brain, trained muscle and skilled fingers to take part in and help on this grand work of industrial development.

There is better opportunity in this field for the young man of genius, pluck and patience, better prospects for promoting and the acquisition of wealth than any of the overcrowded professions offer, where so few reach the top, so many struggle on the way and meet with disappointments at every turn. The professions of law and medicine, which seem to have a fascination for our educated young men, are now and have been for years overcrowded, and yet every year adds to the number of those who enter them. The Meld for service does not expand in proportion to the increased number of those who seek it, and the consequence is a division of a limited business among so many that only a few of recognized superiority and reputation are reasonably paid for their time and knowledge. We say this with out any disposition to disparage either of these respectable and honorable professions.

But the field of manufacturing industries is wide and inviting, becoming wider and more inviting every year, and there is no danger of its being overcrowded. There is the opening for our bright and ambitious young men who wish to strike out for themselves and hew their way to fortune and fame.— Franklin (N. C.) Times.

The Clever Poodle.

Some twenty years back we had a poodle—white, with one black ear. After the manner of his race, he was never quite happy unless he carried something in his mouth. He was intelligent and teachable to the last degree. The great defect in his character was the impossibility of distinguishing meum from tuum. Anything he could get hold of he seemed to think, according to his dogged ethics, to be fairly his own. On one occasion he entered the room of one of the maid servants and stole her loaf of bread, carefully shutting the door after him with his feet, the latter part being a feat I had taught him.

The woman—Irish—was scared and thought that the dog was the devil incarnate. The necessity of discipline on the one hand and of occupation on the other induced me one day to enter a saddler's shop, situated in a straight street about half a mile from our house, and buy a whip. Shortly after my return home he admitted some act of petty larceny, so I gave him a beating with the whip he had carried home. Going for a walk next day, the dog, as usual, accompanied me, and was intrusted with the whip to carry. Directly we got outside the door he started off at his best pace straight down the street, paying no attention whatever to my repeated calls. He entered the saddler's shop and deposited the whip on the floor. When 1 arrived the saddler showed me the whip lying exactly where the dog had deposited it.—The Spectator.

Auburn Haired Girls.

All young women possessed of red hair can remember that in the days of their childhood their hirsute adornment was a source of mocking merriment to their friends, and the term "sorrel top" or "strawberry blonde" was one of contempt. They wondered, perhaps, why it was that they were always called "red headed," when their playmates were described as being black, brown or golden haired. But the "red headed" girls don't mind now that it is every young woman's ambition to be auburn haired, and she hopes by the use of hair dyes to attain the shade which belonged to the wicked Lucretia. If she gets exactly the right shade she does not see why a single thread of her hair might not be preserved by the United States government and exhibited as is the one so proudly shown in Florence as having belonged to the wicked Lucretia. It is odd how many famous women have had this Titian red hair. Catherine of Russia gloried in it, and Anne of Austria had brown hair just on the verge of being red. Ninon de L'Enclos was equally proud of her warm colored tresses, and Mary Stuart seemed a daughter of the sun. Jane Hading and Mrs. Potter both have warm auburn hair, but it does not reach the real tinge, which is that which crowned, in all her glory, the head of the Empress Eugenie, she who has knowr the extreme of happiness and of sadness. —Atlanta Constitution.

Horses and Banana Skins.

There is a little Italian fruit seller in Worth street, who seems to have solved the problem of what to do with banana peel. He has his stand in front of a big dry goods store and is required to keep the neighborhood clean. All fruit skins are carefully gathered up, but his great achievement is the discovery that the average truck horse is a receptacle for banana peel.

Truck horses are numerous in this locality, and whenever one comes to anchor the Italian's little daughter feeds him on the accumulated peelings. The little girl enjoys it, the Italian smiles at his own wisdom, and the horse accepts the meal complacently.

A News reporter recently made it a point to feed the skins to horses by the wayside, and they all liked them. There is, consequently, no longer any justification for the throwing of them on the streets as traps for the unwary.—New York News.

THE GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER ]3, 1889.

The Chief Rraaon for the great success of Hood's Sarsaparilla is found in the article itself. It is merit that wins, and the fact that Hood's Sarsaparilla actually accomplishes what is claimed for it, is what bas given to this medicine a popularity and sale greater than that of any other sarsapa-

Prof. J. V. Martin Resigns.

Wednesday evening Prof. Martin presented his resignation as Superintendent of the City Schools to the School Board. The professor had another severe attack of rheumatism, his old trouble, and felt that it was due both to himself and to the schools to resign. He has been here for five years, and has given very good satisfaction, but his health has always been bad. The board accepted the resignation, and at once elected WIJ' H. Glascock as Superintendent.

Mr. Glasccv'. ... w.ll known in the school woi-1. ,,f *:is comity. as he has just closed a four year's term as County Superintendent. While Mr. Glascock has not the knowledge of the higher branches that Prof. Martin has, he is a man of good executive ability, and will organize the schools thoroughly, and secure good work from both teachers and pupils. We believe we are safe in saying that the schools of Greenfield will do good work this year.

Mrs. Martiu will continue her work in the schools. Every one will be glad, since she is one of the best primary teachers in the State.

Prof. Martin will travel for his health, probably go to California. The REPUBLICAN wishes him a speedy recovery.
