GREENFIELD should be represented at the meeting of the "ludiana Gas Belt League,'' which meets at Anderson on February 18th. Greenfield should be in the procession.

THE Legislature should in their new apportionment, atoae for the present infamous Democratic gerrymander. Even when the Republicans carry the Slate by several thousand majority the Democrats capture the majority of the Congressmen and also the members of the legislature. This is unfair, unjust and as infamous as ih-. shotgun policy of Mississippi. Let us have a fair and honest apportionment.

THE ai\ist who is tixing up the Democratic apportionment steal for this year's legislature gets there as follows: 11 Democratic Congressmen, Republicans 2 Democrats 38 State Senators, Republicans 12 Democrats 00 Representatives and Republicans 40. All this with a State majority of 3,500 for the Republicans, as it is made on the vote of 1888. No fair minded Democrat can approve of such robbery.

FEE

and salary bill has been agreed

upon and it is about unanimously recommended to pass both houses. It will give Hancock county's Auditor, Clerk, Treasurer and Sheriff .$1250 each, with no fees. Necessary deputies will be allowed a salary by the board of Commissioners. All fees will go into the treasury. The County Superintendent will receive bub $3 per day, while now he gets $4.

The Nail Works.

The nail works are shipping one, and sometimes two car loads of nails a day. From 2,000 to 2,500 kegs of nails a week are being turned out. Employment is now being given to 90 bands, and the prospects for a big season are flattering.

Petit Jury.

The following persons will appear as jurors for the present term of court. Buckcreek, W. H. Arnett, Robert Hurley, John Buckpink Brown, Alien Babcock Center, J. H. Moulden, Jeff Trees, W. C. Dudding Green, harvey Alford, D. H. Beatty Jackson, Wm. L. Niles Sugarcreek, F. M. Cloudaud F. P. Hutchinson.

Robbing a Car.

Last Monday evening Harry Small, freight conductor, saw four young men breaking into a car near our depot. As soon as they were inside he shut and locked the door, thus caging the birds. At Richmond they were received by Alex. Go/man, the Panhandle detective, and jailed. On Tuesday they were put in jail here to await trial. They are Chas. Galloway, Alex. Pryor, Otto Uhee, and Harry Carpenter (colored.) Short work will probably be made of them, as their guilt is established.

The Canning Factory.

Henry Smith and Capt. Curry are seeing the farmers in regard to buyirg lota and raising produce for the factory. They are meeting with good success. There is four times the profit raising produce for a canning factory that there is in raising whe or corn. Let our industries be diversified and then Hancock county and her people will be wonderfully prosperous. Farmers interested call at Felt & Jackson's office and leave your names so that Smith and Curry may call on you with full particulars.

Next Year's School Superintendent.

On last Tuesday Messsers Baldwin and Cooper, two of our city school board, elected Prof. Geo. S. Wilson, now Principal of the high-school, as Superintendent of the city schools, year 91—92. There were 15 applicants. The selection does credit to the judgment of the board. Mr. Wilson is a graduate of the school, has been Principal of the high-school for I many years and has been a success. He

Under the law which will probably pass Congress, cities where the postoffice business amounts to |5,000 shall have free mail delivery. The business lor this office for the three quarters ending December 81, 1890, was $2900. Now if $2 100 worth of business could be done by April 1st, we would secure the free delivery. As the office is now running between $400 and $500 per month, a little extra exertion will secure the required amount. A large number of additional boxes have been placed in the office by.Mr. Davis this month. Our postoffice business is simply keeping pace with ifce general prosperity of our city.

On the 28th the surviving children, grand and great grand children with other relatives, neighbor's and frieads of Ebenezer Scottou in Buckcreek township, some sixty in number quietly assembled at his home to pay their respects aud remind him he had reached the 84th milestone of life's journey. Although at the time he was laboring under physical disability he still retaiued liis usual pleasant smile and had a cheery welcome for each o:-e present.. Uncle Ebenzer as lie is familiarly known and called, was one of the early settlers of Buckcreek. At the early age of 0 years he was robbed by death of a loving mother's solace, and soon after made abound apprentice to the sounding anvil and flaming forge. "Each morn to *ce some task begin

Each evening see its close."

Upon atta ning his manhood and pro fession as a Vulcan, he turned westward from Ohio and located near the spot where

Dairy Motes.

An exchange says: Mr. J. B. Dutcher, Pawling, Dutchess Co.. N. Y.., reports some stunning butter yields in the Country Gentleman. His cow Pauline Paul has given 963 lbs. 15% ozs. of butter in nine months, good, honest, merchantable butter, "free from water and buttermilk and forty of his cows (Holstein-Frieaians) averaging four years old, have made an average butter record of 19 lbs. 4 ozs. in seven days while the five-year-old daughter of Pauline Paul, Zozo, has given 104% in thirty days. How does that look to the farmer whose herd of scrubs average from 175 to 200 lbs. in a year?

Never forget that "the bull is one-half the herd" and that the best is always the cheapest, as every reproduction adds either good or bad animals to the herd, and it costs no more to raise or feed a good animal than a poor one. Strain a poictt therefore, and buy the best bull you can pay for. He should be good for at least ten years' service, and in that time $100 or $200 in the first cost are of small account compared with the quality of the calves secured.

The hives of industry are buzzing with activity, no difference what direction you may turn. Merchants are laying the goods on their counters and they are being readily taken by the purchaser, showing a livening up of trade in all channels, and I have met but few wt.o do not redict a wonderful revival of business this year.

his home now stands, in 1842, which at The Rambler is under obligations for the that time was little else than a fr: ning wilderness. Being of a rugged institution and iu possession of a good slock .•!: courage and cheered by the I elp jf a loving companion, who cheerfully shared the privations and hardships of early lie, he set to work with a determination, that many young men to-day would do well to copy, to secure a home, and how well he succeeded is evident by the home now possessed. Ten children blessed his uuion but of that number six and the faithful mother have crossed tha River and await his coming. All the surviving children, Mrs. Elizabeth Pherson, of Bainbridge, Ind., Jas. H. Scotton of Newma'j, Ills., William and Albert who reside near him, were all present. There are fourteen grand and ten great grand children, some of whom were not present owiug to distance intervening. After receiving many congratulations Uncle Ebenezer and his present aged companion were escorted to the post of honor at a table heavily loaded with delicacies prepared by loving hearts and hauds, sufficient to satisfy the want of all and much to spare. When the wants of all had been satisfied they re-asisembled, and Uncle Hamilton Welling in a few weil chosen words voiced the sentiments and feelings of the assembled friends in expressing the hope that as he had long since passed the zenith meridian of life and approaching its terminus, it might be the happiest part. And when the Recording Angel wrote Finis on the last page of life's volume, that the aged couple might have a happy reunion with loved ones where the parting hand is never grasped and the word farewell, is unknown, followed by fervent prayer by Brother Eli Gant that such might be the happy lot of all. Some useful presents were presented, and the friends separated, perhaps never all to meet agaiu.

El wood Barnard at Eden, is always forging to the front in some new enterprise that will be beneficial to his community. He and his brother Ii vin are making preparations to start a large soighurn factory at Eden this season, with a capacity of 300 gallons per day. Any one knowing the boys are well acquainted eall again some time.

with their faculty for doiug things thoroughly. This will be one of the most neatly arranged factories in the county, and no doubt they will ave abundant success. It will be a good thing for the farmers around there as "raising cane" pays big.

Trueblood & Sou were working on a line pair of shoes for a gentlemau at Elkhart, and they have several other orders from a distance. Thus it will be seen what potency there is in first-class workmanship.

The roads being in a worse condition than I have found them for many days, our progress was naturally impeded, but I arrived in Pendleton iu ample time to do some business with her citizens, form some new acquaintances and seud the REPUBLICAN to m. re of them.

J. R. Silver & Son on the Corner are well known to many Northern Hancock people, as they go to their store for bargains in boots, shoes, gents' furnishings etc. Mr. Silver kindly permitted me to add his name to our large list of subscribers at that place.

The large new Odd Fellows Block was looking beautiful within and without. It is a fine building and contains some of the nicest business rooms to be found outside of a large city. Kogers & Thomas' "Cheap Store," is located in this building. The proprietors are young men of unquestioned social aud business qualifications, which fact connected with their good goods, plenty of them and low prices form ii combination that insures them a happy and prosperous business career.

courtesies shown him by Mr. Thomas of this firm, who showed him through every department of their mammoth store, which is arranged with a view to cleanliness in the keeping of butter and provisions, in a manner pleasing to note. Their stock is complete in every line. Reader drop into their big store when iu Peudleton. "The Peudleton Hustler," C. B. Keesling, occupies the large room (two floors), adjoiniug Rogers and Thomas, with one of the largest and most elegant lines of furniture and undertaking goods to be found in the county. Mr. Keesling began business a few years ago on a small scale, but apparently with a knowledge of all the requirements for doing a successful business, perseverance and honesty, coupled with a good judgment and amiable disposition and a liberal, unstinted use of the power that moves the world, advertising, has enabled Mr. Keesling to build up a business that elicits remarks of praise from his friends and neighbors. It is a pleasure to note what an adaptibility to business will do for a man and his business. I have heard several disinterested persons remark that Mr. Keesling was an undertaker of unquestioned ability doing everything with neatness and good order. Consequently his business is increasing every day. Call on Mr. Keesling and look through his large establishment, learn his prices and see if

have exagger

ated the above in any particular. I was showu through the new Odd Fellows Hall, which is being elegantly furnished with fine furniture from Keesling's. It requires 320 yards of carpet to cover the floor. Thisbeautiful hall will be dedicated February 18.

J. W Taylor manager of the store of Todd & Co., is a sociable geatleman and one calculated to make lots of friends. They are selling large quantities of goods at this store. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. M. Todd there, he has been a minister of the gospel for a number of years. He is a pleasant and talkative old gentleknan, and a man of sound sense. He is the father-in-law of J. Ward Walker of our city, and is proud of his son-in-law. And so are our Greenfield and Hancock county people, who reognize him as an honest, upright business man and a Christian gentleman.

Lewis Bros., have a neat drug store there and are first-class gentlemen. W. T. Mannon is so well known here as well as at Peadleton, that anything in the way of an introduction would be considered presumptuous on my part. Mr. Mannon's is headquarters for nice sweet bread, pies, cakes, buns etc.

In my travels I came to a neat farm house, situated one and one half miles west of Pendleton. The environments were neat aud tasty, and everything bore evidence of this being the abode of a careful and prosperous f-»rmer who attended strictly to business. It proved to be the residence of our patron D. G. Barrett. I went in and became acquainted with Mrs. Barrett, had dinner and enjoyed a pleasant noon hour with them. Mr. Barrett has a fine farm of 114 acres, under a high state of cultivation, showing on every hand that he knoWd just how to farm. Mrs. Barrett 10 a Blister of L. H.

and Mrs. W. J. Thomas of this city. Th% REPUBLICAN goes every week to Mrs. Barrett's father James A. Reynolds, of Lincoln, Nebraska.

As is usually the case when I take a trip up through Brown township, I added several new names to our subscription list. Among them W. L. Staley of Willow Branch. lie is a son of our old triedfe aud true friend IT. L. Staley.

Lou Hilligoss is a Rush county man, which I consider a sufficient recommendto do business on. He lives on Miss Blanche I-ruddock's farm. I drove in and enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Hildgoss overnight. They have a fourteen year old sou tluic for industry and perseverance, excells any boy of his age in the county. Mrs. Hilligoss is a sister of Mrs. U. II. Jeffries of this city. I went away next morning resolved to

I took a little time which proved to be well spent and had A. B. Thomas show me through his mammoth poultry yards and buildings. Mr. Thomas has some of the finest specimens of the favorite breeds of poultry I have seen. His yards aud houses are arranged for convenience aud comfort-, and demonstrate his thorough knowledge of poultry raising. Poultry raising is a science and in order to make a success of the business, one must understand it as perfectly asany trade or profession. Mr. Thomas is a poultry raiser of long experience, and is capable of giving many pointers to some of our amateur poultry raisers who think they know it all. Mr. Thomas has between 200 and 300 fowls, of different breeds, now in bis yards.

I stopped at the noon hour at our patron .T. P. Reeve's, ea.-.t of the Branch. Mr. Reeve is one of the directors of the new gas company of his vicinity, who have formed a combination in order to sink a well for tlieir own use. Mr. Reeve has some splendid stock, he has some colts that are well bled. Mentioned in notes.

At Wilkinson, IT. C. Garriott, C. L. Peivins, Henry Betts and Asa James, are sure of getting the news from every no^k and coiner of the county as they arc now subscribers on the REi'ur.uc.vx's largo list over there.

Geo. W Sowerwine is now an established clerk at the general store of Morrison I'ros. Mr. Sowerwine and Mr. Morrison will make a strong team.

At Warrington, Masters & Monger are doiug a good business steam and gas fitting. The boys are honest and industrious, and are first-class workmen.

I was told that W. I. Garriott paid $48 freight for goods for his store at Warrington, during the month of January.

Fsq. L. J. Cook was making preparations to move his harness tooni to Wilkinson, where he will have it remodeled, and will continue the business of harness making.

R. D. Hauna is rapidly coming to the front with some as well bred horses as the county posseses. He is a pleasant gentleman nnd a splendid judge of a good %orse. Call at the Warrington Barns and see the Doctor's fine horses.

John Thorpe's store looks clean and neat, aud he is starting out with a good trade. A Mr. Masters has started a shoe shop iu the room Mr. Thorpe formerly occupied with the postoffice.

What I have failed to say about Warrington people will be faithfully mention^ ed by our corvespoudeut there. Any one having items that would be of interest will please leave them at Mr. Ganiott's store, where our correspondent can get them. RAMBLER.
