EIGHT HUNDRED Jewish families hate been ordered out of one Russian City Kief. Russia, has a haired for Jews.

GEN. GRANT'S monument was begun in New York last Monday, April 27, on the anniversary of liis birth. Grant was both grand and great and always equal to the emergency.

THE members of the F.rmets Alliance in the South say there will be no third party there sin it would defeat the Democracy.

THIS is indeed an age of germs and btcilli, and now some scientist, who evidently is an old bachelor and hites the •'sweet girls,*' says ice cream is dangerous on account of the bacilli.

A man who his but little or nothing to do, or at least does nothing, is frequently a nusiance in botberiug men who do want to work. !f a man desires to be a nothing, let him be one all by himself, lie needs no help.

IN ORDER that Greenfield may prosper to the fullest extent, let men be elected to office next Tuesday who are the best qualified for the position and who will reflect the greatest honor aud credit on the city.

THE lady cashier ct the ites House, Indiauapolis, died from blood poisoning last week. The disease was said to have been caused by handling coins. Notwithstanding this warning, there are 65,000,001) people in this country who will recklessly handle all the coins they can get within mi eh.

THE sink lig of the two 1 u-ge iron-clad war ships of the Chilian ii sargents by the Government with torpedoes demonstrates that the United States can easily deft-ntl her coast in the same way against foreign ships. The inventions for destruction continue to surpass chore for deten.se so much so that wars will soon be of the past.

SINCE the passage of the McKinley bill, many manufacturers in Europe have moved their factories to this country, or established branches here. That is what the United States wants, maufacturng establishments at home, and the nearer th'-y get to Greenfield, the bett will the people of taucoek county be able to appueciate its benefits. A man can see the benefits of pr tection if he lives clos* enough to the factory.

ON fifteen ordinary Italian workmen recently arrested in New York, when taken to the station house, fourteen stilla to?, or dirks, and seven revolvers were found When so large a proportion of men of a certan class, violate the law attains! carrying concealed weapons, they are liable to violate other laws, and in fact carry the weapons for that purpose. European criminals and paupers are not wanted in this country.

THE E are some men who claim there is no difference between reciprocity and free trade. In reciprocity a mar: or a uation always gets value received, that is the Uuited States grants another nation the right to bring certain of her products here in return for the privilege of her receiving certain product* or articles from this country for which wc desire a mar ket. With free trade, a uation could bring its manufactured articles cr agricultural products here, and sell and glut the markets without taking one single thing in exchange, that is to say, ac cess wouid be obtained to the richest and best market in the world at no cost whatever.

THE Democrat last week published Andrew Jacksons tariff views. Old Hickory was solid for Protection. He said "Our political system would be an anamoly if the people were stripped of the right to foster their own industry and to counteract the most selfish and destructive policy that might be adopted by foreign nations. This indispensable power must be within the authority expressly delegated to Congress. ''la this conclusion I am confirmed as well by the opinious of Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, who iiavteacli repeatedly recommended the exercise ot this right under the constitution, as by the unitorin practice of congress tue continued acquiescence of the states, ann the general understanding of the people. "That our deliberations on this interesting subject should be uninfluenced those partisan conflicts that are incident to tree institutions, is the fervent wish oi my heart. To make this great questiou, winch unhappily so much divides aud excites the public mind, subservient to the short sighted views of faction, muai destroy all hope of settling it satisfactor ily to the great body of the people, and lor the general interest. I cannot there fore, on taking leave of this subject, too earnestly, for my own feelings or for the common good, warn you agaiust the consequences of such a course."

The United States would be .uore prosperous if the Democrats who profess to follow Andrew Jackson would take his above sound advice for Protection.

Do You rember what wou lerful promises the Democrats made concerning a reduction of taxes if they controlled the Legislature in 189IP Verily, there is a great distance between their promises and performances.

SINCE Chicago aud Springfield, General Palmer's home, aud the majority of Illinois cities where elections were held this spring have gone Republican, Palmer has uot been mentioned for President.

IN 1888 the Democrats complained that there was a big surplus iu the treasury. Now they complain that there is a deficit. It is not true, there is plenty of money but t'aey have to have something to complain about.

On Wednesday Mrs. Nelly Barnett moved to Indiauapolis, where she will make her home at 403 Broadway. She has a fiue class in music there. She was accompanied by Miss Rosa Davis who will make her home with Mrs. Barnett, aud attend school aud study music, iu which she is quite gifted.

That Hancock county is a goodly land has been more fully demonstrated to me the past week than at any time during my past experience. It is true her reputation for bad roads few years ago, still cling to some people of other counties, but she has redeemed herself completely on that score aud now can boast of roads second to none. Iler laud has been draiued and made productive, by perseverance, and the result is pointed to with pride. I saw people employed at the various vocations, embracing those from the beginning to the end of the season. Some were beginning the spriog work by starting the plow, others even in Hancock county, by gathering their corn, which owing to the small price, aud the "pressing" of other business, deferred it to a more pleasant season. They will begin putting up ice next month.

Passing the Concord cemetery below Fountaintown, I saw L. C. Hilt the tombstone man, erecting a fine monument at the grave of Mrs. G. W. Colclazier

I added the name of Mr. Colclazier to our Fountaintown list, also that of George Moore of Shelby county, son of our patron John Moore.

Marion is a pretty little town four miles north of Shelbyville, near the banks of Big Blue river. Good roads lead to it from all directions, aud it has good school and churches. My mother's eldest brother Dr. J. M. Adams lives there, and modestly forbids me to say that he is one of the most courteous and obliging men in Shelby county, but I believe it. After partaking of a good dinner, such as only one who knows how, can get up, I resumed my journey toward the Ohio river, accompaniod by my cousin Will C. Adams, who by the way proved just such a companion one requires in time of need. We had smooth sailing through Shelby county, except that the frequent appearance of a little house against the side of the road with an awning over the end, and the grim visage of an auburn headed lady, who in a bass voice demanded us to pay our toll, marred our "complete" happiness to some extent. In the evening we arrived at the little 'city' of Norristown, some ten or twelve miles south of Shelbyville. Having heard much of Sid Conger, the chicken man, stock raiser, legislator and census superintendent, and recently a director in the World's Fair, we went in search of his location which was not bard to find, being situated a short mile west of Norristown. He was busy among his stock, but kindly suspended his business for a short time to give us a peep into his arrangements which

tKW!

ire most complete in every particular, His large and nicely painted stock barns are of his own planning aud labor. His I poultry house,s are the most extensive and perfect iu arrangement that have seen, He has the most modern improvements about his hennery, one cousistiug of an egg tester of his own invention, in which the young chicks can plaiuly be seen. It saves time, as the egg if uot fertile can be I discarded. He also has setting boxes, that close after the hen when she goes iu, aud open when she wishes to come out. He has the finest specimens of prize golden Wyandotte, Plymouth Rocks and several other kinds to be found anywhere. He patiently showed us the details of his bus uess. Mr. Couger also has none but the finest Jersey cattle, together with pure bred Shropshire and Ox lord Down sheep. He sends hen eggs to all parts ot' the world, which sell readily at $5 per setting. He has takeu premiums on his poultry from Ca'ifornia to Georgia. Mr. Conger also has some fine fish ponds cut in tiie ri-ck, which when complc'ed, will exceed anything of the kind in the State. He has fi beautiful two story residence of his own planning, iu which he has an ollice uici-ly fi:ted up where he can retire and transact his business, write liis cor- I repoudeuce which is an extensive one (i.here being 25 letters yet unanswered, on his desk). He does his writing ou ti type writer, which he does in the most skillful and rapid maimer that I have ever seen. Although a very busy time with I Mr. Conger (in fact all seasons are), he I devoted considerable time to our ente:taiiiment and comfort. We partook of his hospitality over night and he proved himself an admirable host iu every parlicular. I has a telephone in his office by which he can communicate with all towns aud cities iu the dominion of tele-

phones. Mr. Conger is also president of the Flat Rock Cauuing Compain, which when in full season furnishes employment to 2"i0 hands, thus it will be seen that Mr. Conger is one of the most busy, useful aud prominent citizens of Shelby county, whose enterprise, integrity, and close application to business, will eventually place him at the head as a pattern aud a leader. After bedding and feeding us without money or price, he sent us on our way with his God speed. To be profited I hope by a peep into the life aud methods of one of Shelby county's mo=t popular aud honored citizens.

We resumed our journey toward the South, going across the corner of Bartholomew county, our objective point being Scipio, a little town in Jenniu|. county via Hope, a pretty little town in Bartholomew, in which is situated the Hope normal school, fr.-m whence has emanated some "master minds" who go forth to train the young idea how to shoot. The young lady boarding school pupil has also undoubtedly learned the sweet sentiment of love and poetry there.

I do net know how to begin co descril the trials and tribulations we were called upon to endure in the way of soft red clay roads, just before reaching the Jennings county line, and on to Scipio. We passed over what is known as the "WashBoard Hills," the best roads in Jennings mnty, which a» eraged a hill every few feet from 25 to 40 feet high. When our horse would mire down we would unhitch (we having been "cooning" the fence), and let the mare scramble out, and we would pry, carry and drag the buggy to the top of the hill, the same process to be repeated a short disianco furthur ou. By this means we were enabled to reach Scipio, having traveled 7 miles in 5 hours. We rested and fed our horse and enjoyed the smiles of the landlady of the Anthony House, while we washed down fiied eggs with cistern water, wit wiggletails in it (not the Rush county kind).

After being thus refreshed and feasted we resumed our journey. The "Metropolis" of
