DURING September Kansas farmers reduced their mortgage indebtedness by $2,000,000. A good showing.

FARMERS this year who till their soil with the plow and cultivate their land will have much greater crops than those who do the work with their mouths.

UNCLE SAM should put up a placard at the entrance of his ground with this inscription: "No nation is permitted to dump refuse or rubbish on these premises."

A

farmer has disposed

of

this

year's wheat crop for more money than what his farm cost him. He laughs at the calamity orators and don't read Democratic newspapers.

MANY people in this country insist that the Tariff is a tax and that Amerioan people bear the burden. If such is the case why does England make such a fuss, and why does Germany cry out so about our new tariff laws.

THE first thing required of a foreign immigrant coming to this country should be proof of a good moral character, and the second should be an immediate and complete renunciation of allegiance to any foreign government.

THE schools of Porey township, Rush county, were all closed last week on account of diphtheria. Many children have died. Alonzo Zone lost three, and probably another will die. While Emma, the first one that died, was being buried, two others breathed their last.

EVERY adjoining county seat has electric lights and water works and many other modern improvements. Rusliville however lacks the water works but Greenfield lacks both. Why is this? With our natural gas and manufactories we are forging to the front but should have a system of water works and an electric light plant. Public improvements add much to a city and are always an advantage.

THE Indianapolis News since the Republicans have been dropping it so rapidly is now laboring earnestly to prove that it is a genuine Simon pure independent news paper, and hopes to again deceive the people. It will not again succeed however in its game of being independent between the election, and democratic when it comes to influencing votes.

WE wonder how the Democrats would run the Government, pay the soldiers, pensions, etc., if they abolished custom duties and established a system of free trade. The country would then no doubt enjoy an era of free trade and direct taxation. Possibly they might do as they did when in power before, borrow the money by paying a big premium and a high rate of interest.

DP. JOHN* HALL, of New York, lias resigned from the directorship of Union Theological Seminary. The friendship of liimseif and that of his son Thomas, of Chicago, for the alleged heretic, Dr. Briggs, influenced his action. Dr. Hall is the pastor oi the richest Presbyterian Churcn in Ameriea, and is also a preacher of the greatest intellectual power in the denomination. His fame abroad is greater than that of any other Amerioan preacher.

A correspondent to the North-western Miller writes that he is creditably informed that the "password1' used at the Lodge of the Farmers Alliance for the past month is hold your wheat," Whether this is true or not, this advice has been pretty generally given from different sources, but we cannot say as to the wisdom of such admonition. From the appearance of the growing wheat crop, we rather think the advice is good,

THE PROTECTION system has given to the farmers of this country, whether they grow cotton or corn, wheat or wool, the -best domestic market anywhere offered, has given to our people a diversity of employments, to our indutries wider range, to our labor better wages than can be found anywhere else. It has accorded genius,skill and invention, encouragement, and to the whole country a marvelous development in all that goes to make a nation rich and strong, progressive and prosperous.

TJIERE is to be a building at the World's Fair, Chicago, 1120 feet high. It will be about twice as high as any other structure in the world It will out-Eiffel the Eiffel tower of Paris. It is to be built by the Keystone Bridge Co. of Pittsburg, of which company Andrew Carnegie is the principal stockholder. While this tall structure is to go up the city council of Chicago are proposing to limit the height of some buildings to be erected there. Chicago has many 12, IB, 14, 16, and one 20-story building. Just think of buildings ten times as high as the majority of business houses in Greenfield.

SKFUBUCASS ATTBTZON!

A Republican Club To Be Organised. Thursday evening Oct. 29, at 7:30 P.M. the Republicans of Greenfield and Center township and all other Republicans who can make it covenient to attend are requested to meet at the Court House for the purpose of organising a Republican Club. Those take an active interest in politics in the various townships of the County are especially invited. State Chairman J. K. Gowdy will be present. No Republican should fail to attend. WABREN R. KINO,

County Chairman.

AMERICANS have just cause to rejoice because the Germans and French in Europe the Germans especially have largely reduced the tariff on American pork, wheat, flour, etc. This opens up a large market for our people for the above products and enables us to get abetter price than if said markets were not open,now according to the Democratic doctrine that the consumers always pays the tariff it really should make no difference with us whether Germany or France imposed a tariff or not because the people of those countries would have to pay said tariff and it would not affect us in the least. The fact is that the duty is paid by the manufacturer or owner who sends or takes goods into a country. That is he pays so much for the privileges of the market in that country.

IT has been suggested that Gro'vfer Cleveland and Sam Jones should unite their fortunes and run with each other either in politics or the revival business. Their opinions of mankind and their methods are very much alike. In his New York speech last week Mr. Cleveland speaks of "the wholesale debauchery and corruption of the people, the sordidness and the perversion of all that constitutes good citizenship," and so on. In Rome, Ga., Sam Jones declared that perjury was the rule, that officers were criminally negligent of their duty, and that debauchery reigned supreme in all circle?. When Samuel was summoned before the grand jury he could not make his specifications stick, Neither could Grover. Cleveland and Jones are working the corruption and debauchery racket from a business standpoint. This is a pretty good world and country after all, especially when] the G. O. R. P. is in power.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

Joseph Broyles of Indianapolis now has charge of the cupalo at the foundry. G. T. Hines, brother of Pa Hines is now employed at the stove foundry. Also Wm. Fane of Cincinnati.

Barney Harahan, of Quincy, 111., is a recent acquisition to the stove work, as moulder. Mr. Harahan is an experienced workman.

R. E. Monger carpenter at the stove works has invented and patented an Automatic Gas and water separator, for gas wells that is said to be a complete success. It gives entire satisfaction where eVea tried.

Wm. Moore of Cinninnati formerly foreman in the Mounting department of Redway and Burton is now head driller in Mounting department of the stove works the city.

Geo. W. Gates is having a [fine residence and barn erected on his farm southeast of the city. The enterprising firm of Black & Gordon is furnishing the material

Black and Gordon sold material for six dwellings to the enterprising contractors Shumway & Davis this week to be erected in this city yet this fall.

Our young friend W. A. Hough the new Superintendent of tlie stove works is fast becoming initiated in the mysteries ofstove manufacturing and can talk stove as fluently as anyone He is popular among the workmen and makes friends as fast as he becomes acquainted.

Business is booming at the Central Planing Mill. The low prices made on lumber lath, shingles, and all kinds of building material keeps things on the move. When desiring a bill of lumber for anew house see H. J. Williams as you will save money by so doing.

Miss Henrietta Davis who has been living with her grandfather the late James Vanmeters north of Chalottsville for the past two years, left for her fathers home in Valiania, Mo. this week. She wanted to see all the news from Hancock County, so she came in and subscribed for the REPUBLICAN

The Greenfield Ice Company have had a very gratifying summers business, and they express themselves as being fully satisfied and thankful for the liberal patronage accorded them by our people. And in turn we know our people feel that this factory is one of the most important in the City for our comfort, as they deliver nice pure crystal ice to our doors during the hot summer months so cheaply. Buffam & Stutsman Bros, are are perfect gentlemen, and we hope their business will grow, untill it will be highly remunerative to them, as well as gratifying to our citizens.

Geo. W. Kimmick manager of the stove works says he has the best set of men this side of the Alleghanies. They are all select men moral and intelligent. In the moulding department there are thirtytwo jour, workmen and four apprentices who turn out from a melt of 13,500 pounds 45 complete stoves every dav. The majority of them being large bracket and closet stoves in quality as good as are in the market. They use first.class Bellfount pig iron No. 1 Silvery and made at Jackson Ohio and No. 2 Southern pigiron which combination Mr. Kimmick assures us, forms one of the strongest and best combinations used in the manfacture of stoves. They defy the world to turn out a handsomer more perfect more durable or cheaper stove than is turned out by this factory The system observed at this factory is like perfect clock work due largely to the sagacious business methods applied by the manager while not aggressive he possesses a manner that is winning|and at the same time well understood by his boys all of whom appreciate him full well. We have great reascyi to be proud of this factory.

While in Charlottesville recently I was pleased to notice the apparent improved business air the town possessed.

C. E. Leamon has engaged with C. M. Niles in the Cash Store. They have a fine stock of goods and they are furnishing the people some bargains. See their notes to the public in another column.

Johnson Bros, 's drug store is fitted up attractively, and they are having a gratifying drug trade. They are social, pleasant men, and people like to deal with them.

Frank Brandenburg, the gentlemanly clerk at Craft & McGraws, has the right ideas of business. By his social manners he helps the firm to realize large sales, as aU people like sociability. Frank's acquaintances all like him, and he has many friends.

Dr. Cox had sold his property, and was removing to Oregon, where his son is engaged in business.

I called on Elizabeth D. Fort at her pleasant home in town. Mrs. Fort was in poor health and had been for some days. I met her pleasant daughter Ada, she is a neat dressmaker, and works industriously. They are nice ladies and indeed have a pleasant home.

As I drove into Maple Valley I learned that R. R. White of that town raised a new variety of sugar cane, that sorghum maker D. F. Harlan made into syrup, which was to use a favorite expression of an esteemed contemporary, "of excellent quality and superior flavor." Our informant said it did not yield abundantly, but it made up the deficit in quality. Mr. White will possibly have seed for sale.

I met Robert and J. M. Morris in the Valley. J. M. will read the REPUBLICAN now. Thomas E. Green is another clever Valley man and he will read this paper too.

S. W. Overman is sole store keeper in the Valley now. He is postmaster and enjoys a good trade.

Our old and esteemed patron S. M. Overman liyes on a pretty, well kept farm just south of the Valley. I called on him a little while and enjoyed a few minutes pleasant talk with him. His daughter Lizzie has been in poor health for some time.

I met the enterprising horseman A. F. Yetter at the Valley, he said his family were eu joying a visit among Hartford City friends and lelatives for a few weeks. Mr. Yetter reports everything prosperous among his string of fine horses. He handles none but royally bred stock and en joys a great reputation among the leading horsemen of the country.

S. T. lldston handed me his paw to grasp. He is a successful and enthusiastic breeder of Buff Cochins, and is owner of some of the prize winners of the State. His flock is an example of what results can come from persistent, and tenacious energy coupled with good judgment. He is a pleasant gentleman and will show you about his poultry yards at any time. 1 learned that the course of true love had not been permitted to run smooth between Will Kirkpatrielc and a very young, Miss Thomas of that vicinity. So to avoid interference from those they considered not really so concerned as themselves the young lady left her school books, music and a nicc home, to dwell in the far west with the one of her choice. I hope she has not acted too rashly and that the one she has chosen will stand by htr.

I stayed all night at the pleasant and hospitable home of J. T. Collins east of the Valley. He has recently purchased some 50 acres of good but abused land on a good pike in a half mile of the Valley, for about $28 per acre, this is one of the cheapest pieces of real estate in my knowledge. Mr. Collins is a great worker, has Sood judgment, and ere long he will work a transformation on the old farm. Mr. Collins has a nice little family and one of the most industrious and pleasant ladies for a wife that it has been my fortune to meet. John is supervisor for his district and the way he is spreading gravel on the highways in his neighborhood is a caution.

At Wilkinson every one was attending to his own business, which by the way is a faculty that many do not possess. Billy Kenyon said he had all the work he could do in his wagon shop. He has an able efficient assistant in W. H. Gipe, who Mr. Kenyon says is the most capable and rapid workman he has ever had. Mr. Gipe is an old soldier and fought nobly for his country. He showed me the picture of his son that was killed by coming in contact with an electric wire in Minneapolis. He was head man in the employ of a telegraph company, and was considered a most skillful workman.

I was pleased to observe the large patronage P. K. May is having. Mr. May is one of the most genial men I meet in my rounds.

Dr. J. P. Julian reads our paper, and is one of Wilkinson's popular young physicians, whom I always like to meet. So also is Dr. Cook.

Pennington & Wilson have one of the nicest and best arranged drugstores in the county. The proprietors are young men full of the necessary qualities to build up a good business on. One of the most sensible and essential things to insure their success is an attractive ad. in this paper.

Morrison Bros, also have some telling facts in this issue, which if heeded will be of benefit to the reader. They have one of the cleanest and tidiest country stores I have been in, containing all goods that are most calculated to meet the requirements of customers. Mr. Morrison and his elever clerk, Mr. Sowerwine, treat their customers in a kind and courteous manner, which always wins favor.

John H. Lane is having a good trade, and deserves it. He is always ready for business, and never keeps a customer waiting.

So much for Wilkinson. There are many more in town whom it would be a pleasure to mention, but I will be compelled to forego it for the present.

I went up and took dinner with Mr. J. A. Ayers one day. Mr. A. is one the jolly, whole-souled men of the county, and has one of the nicest homes in his corner, all bearing evidence of the thrift and business enterprise of the owner, who has a place for everything, and everything in its place. Many farmers would do well to take a few observations and. imitate Mr. Ayers' example about his home. I warrant he wouldn't charge them a cent. I spent along noon hour very pleasantly there. Mr. and Mrs. Ayers are hospitable, intelligent people, and make a guest at their home feel com fortable and at ease.

At Warrington Dr. Hanna was making preparations to put in new and improved machinery in his mill. This mill is managed and run by W. J. Newsom, the experienced and skillful miller, ably assist-

Trustee J. C. Kennedy said the schools in his township were doing nicely, except one, that of a young beginner, who had bit off more than he could chew.

Our patron W. T. Bridges said his wife was still an invalid, but he entertains strong hopes of her recovery. She has been afflicted for along time.

Squire Joseph Garriott said he had united ninety couples in the holy bonds of matrimony during his official career, and still there's more to follow.

Will Garriott is selling an immense quantity of goods to the people of his corner. Will has gained an enviable reputation as a general merchant through promptness, strict integrity, careful attention to business, and a constant desire to meet every want of his many patrons. The attention of the public is directed to his establishment, which will be found a worthy one in all respects.

In some localities when there are idle times, the men and boys make it a point to congregate at a store. The merchant possibly does not specially object to this, but in many cases it is hurtful and detrimental to his business. Many would-be buyers, especially ladies, dislike to run the gauntlet of several curious lookers-on in order to make a purchase. Many do not think of it in this light, or they would not do it. It is to be hoped there will be less loafing around the stores hereafter.

The healthy people you meet have healthy livers. They take Simmons Liver Regulator.
