Some business men fail to appreciate the fact that the best advertising medium is the most popular paper. The most popular paper is the one with the largest circulation and it is so because the people like it They also feel friendly toward its advertisers and will patronize them. The REPUBLICAN calls attention to its splendid line of advertisers and asks that its readers give them their business^ 1.v

While our county and city possesses some of the he.-t brain, bone and sinew to be found anywhere men actively and honestly exercising their trades and professions and making our country one of the wealthiest and most desirable of all the countries of the earth. While the above is trne, there are nien in every department of trade, as well as in all professions, who are continually and persistently seeking to get something for nothing, just as there were in the early days of this country those deluded enough to t-qiiander their lives searching for the fountain that would restore youth so now can tie found a certain class in quest of the place where they can get what they want without giving anything in return. They do not seem to he be sufficiently endowed mentally to understand the lesson which nature constantly aud everywhere teaches, nnmel): Sow first, then reap, seed lime, then harvest. This is plain enough, and means good goods cost good Cheney.

But there will remain those who

doubtless to the end of time, will go down to their graves still bugging their delusive phantoms of hope.

litidi Insulted.

A little high-handed piece of business is reported from the north west part of the city, also near the depot this week. Two ladies have been insulted iu both instances by unknown tonghs prowlinr:? around town under darkness. Oue lad and her daughter were accosted in the north part by tw» negroes, and but for their cries for assistance and the interference of neighbois, would probably have been robbed. The other lady was seized by a drunken tongh near the depot, who in turn gave him a smarting blow in the face with a bucket yfrfefft* ing in her hand, canning him'to sklp^^^ freight train near by and leaving town before he could lie captured. T&e'l^diee will

have

to orace up, carry a pistol, ami*

shoot to kill these worthless, insulting curs. We with hold the names by request. Our Council should take immediate steps to have the city lighted.

ft,

The diamond sport on the Nail Worka base-ball grounds between the Eagles of Indianapolis, and the Grand Hotel club, this city, Saturday, Jnly 4th, was one of the most interesting and exciting games yet played in our town. Two games were played one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Patteries, Greenfield, LaRue and Price ndlanapolia, O'Neal and Connely.

Owing to neighboring attractions the attendance was small, but those that were present were well repaid for the little time and expense put to. The playing wa3 spirited from the beginning, and a determined effort made by both clubs te make the best of their chances. LaRue and Price battery for the home team were their best, as the above score indicates the effectiveness of their work. LaKue'd pitching wou have done honor toa professional, almost shutting the visitors out in the morning game without a hit. "Get onto him" was too hard a nut to crack. Price, his support, was right at his post, and never failed to take 'em in especially is he worthy of mention for his accuracy and delivery to second, where the nev-er-tailing '"Rhody" scooped them in. The fielding, with few exceptions was good, but by way ot comment can be improved upon. The visitors also had a good battery, and it is to their credit that their score stood where it did. The lefthand pitching of O'Neal, seemed a puzzler to our boys, several of whom weie unable to hit him. The afternoon gataje was interesting and largely attended, and or bitter fight was made for the honors, but Greenfield feeling that her reputation in base-ball circles was at stake, went in to win and win she did. Both clubs were orderly and gentlemanly throughout the entire day, and the defeated club wt nt home feeling good, but with the impression that they conld not play ball on July 4th, 1891. Another game will t.-ke place at 2:30 p. in., to-morrow, between the the home team and the of Indianapolis. Rare sport can be looked for. Give them a good audience.
