Electric Bitters.'' Thousands of others nave added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a boteat M. C. Quigley's drugstore. 4ty

OBITUARY. KEEFER.

Ferdinand Keefer was born in Manchester, Maryland, August 10, 1816, and died at liis home in Terre Haute, June 2, 1891. Deceased came to Greenfield in the year 1830 and was united in marriage to Margeret Loehr Dec., 27, 188S. Nine children were born to them four of whom ars still living, two being residents of Greenfield. Mr. Keefer opened the first tailorshop in Gree-j field and was successful for several years, when he turned his attention to farming. In 1859 when the gold fever broke out he went, to Pike's Peak, but returned after a stay of two years. His last days were spent with his son-iu-at Terre Ilaute. His disease was dropsy being seriously sick only a short time, and his death was entirely unexpected by the relatives here. His remains were buried here this afternoon at 2 o'clock.

HORSE NOTES.

The coming 2-minute trotter might possibly come from the Blue Bull-Tom Hal cross.

John Freeman of New Palestine, intends making a sale for his nine head of fine horses. They are good ones and should not be allowed to leave the county.

There are thirty-two stallions making the season in Greenfield. There is no doubt but that Greenfield is looking up in the horse business.

Royal Duke. Hutchinson & Son's fine three-year-old Clyde stallion, is making a good season on their farm in Brandy wine township, and already has some elegant celts.

N. B. Brandenburg went to Rushville Tuesday, with the Sultan stallion, Odesse. Three mares had been shipped from Cincinnati to be bred to him. There is a chance for breeders to get some fine Sultan colts in this county.

Cole Lesher of Fountain town, has a fine black two-year-old stallion by Black Edd, dam by Davie Crockett, that gives great promise to be a fast pacer. He is being tracked by W. H. Pauley at the Fair grounds.

This is the fourth season in this city for Smith Hutchinson's fine Clyde stallion Scotchman. He has many fine colts, and parties breeding to him say thiit his colts are getting better every year. It pays to breed to full bloods like Scotchman. He can be found at Mr. Hutchinson's barn East Main street.

Billy Davis, the Blue Bull stallion here, is now standard under two of the new rules. He was probably standard before but it was hard to prove it. Billy Davis has many fine colts worth from .$200 to $400 in this county. His service fee is low. See him at the Guymou House barn.

Mercer, the fine French stallion standing at the barn of Samuel Roney at Mohawk, and owned by him, is one of the best in Central Indiana. His colts are large and fine and take premiums wherever shown. Ee was sired by Merces, an imporu'd French draft horse. First dam sired by Prince Alfred, imported. He is well bred and stands at a low figure.

Down in Tennessee, some writers are claiming that Brown Hal will this season be the horse to wipe out Johnston's record, instead of Hal Pointer. Some responsible men are saying that Brown Hal has travelled quarters in 27% "over and over again." The air of Tennessee is wonderfully exhilerating, upon both men and horses.

Wm, Vaughns fine sorrel mare has a fine colt by her side by Monroe Archey, 8670. Monroe Archey is by Jim Monroe 835, by Alexander's Abdallah. He is oue of the most fashionably bred stallions in the county. He stands at the barn of Mr. Webb, east of Maxwell. Mr Vaughn will breed his mare to Hamdallah, as she is an inbred Blue Bull, and will produce speed with this cross.

Huston & Son. the South Pennsylvania street livery men, are the owners of a fine double gaited two-year-old stallion, that has undoubted speedy qualities. He is by Washburn 8080, he by Volunteer, he by Hambletonian 10. Dam by Mambrino Patchen. Their fine draft stallion, Bardmoney, has proven himself one of the best of his kind. Isom Denny, of Vernon township, James Fuller, north of Greenfield, Jacob Hamilton, Geo. Gates, and many others report fine colts by him.

RACING AT WARRINGTON.

Next Saturday there will be a large number of races at Dr. Hanna's Warrington race track. Quite a number of good horses have been entered for the races and an interesting time will be had.

TO THE FARMErS aND HORSEMEN.

I will say thc ungentlemanly attack on my reputation published in the Jeffersonian May 29,1891, forces me to reply, as such silly prattle may make some of my friends think strange if I don't. The messenger, on riding up, asked if I would go to see a very sick colt near the slaughter house on Lee C. Thayer's farm. He made the remark that he had been after MaGuire, and couldn't get him, and he wanted me to go. I said: "I am busy now, but suppose you can get Smith or Gambrel." He then asked me if Mr. Smith did not stay at Huston's barn. 1 told him he did. This is the conversation just as it took place, as I can prove if necessary. As Mr. Huston's barn is only three squares from my place of business, it did not delay him much. My word was out to go to the country to see a patient and as the man who wanted me to see the colt was a stranger to me, I do not see that I was under any obligations to break my engagements. However, I will be found doing business in Hancock and surrounding counties. Headquarters at Jeffries & Son's barn.

A Confidence Game.

It may be a surprise to most of our citizens to be told that there is a confidence game of the strongest kind

In Full Operation

in our midst. But it is so. The editors of this paper have been aware that for a long time this confidence game has been in existence. There are many of our best citizens who are

BOLD OPERATORS

at it every day. The community seems rather benefited by it than otherwise, and the confidence game

MAY BE SEEN" ANY DAY

by stepping into the large Furniture and Undertaking Store of W. P. Wilson, Greenfield, Ind., where the confidence shown by the buying public in the goods and prices there offered is remarkable. A very large and fine line of Furniture, Baby Wagons, Etc,

Fnnp Gas Pimp!

The Correct Thing at the Correct Time, and at the Correct Price.

A. SUCCESS*

A machine that will pump water for stock, house and barn purposes, and all you have to do is to attach a small natural gas pipe to it.

Beats the wind mill—can be put on any kind of well or will pump from creek or spring. Just the thing for Dairies, Creameries. Gardeners, Stock Raisers, as well as every farmer.

Are much cheaper than the wind mill and can be run any or all the time. The gas does not touch or injure the water in the least.

Every well regulated farm should should have one of these machines. You will be proud of it. Pronounced by all using them, to be far ahead of anything now in use for the purpose.
