For the month of December, J. W. Comstock realized $75.01 from 14 cows, the product being disposed of to the Greenfield creamery. In addition he was entitled to several barrels of smill.

A creamery is a good thing and when manipulated in the proper manner will make money for the company as well as the farmer, as the Greenfield creamery is doing.

The first prize, an elegant Gold medal, was awarded to Samuel Knight, which fact speaks euffi cient for his proclivities as a salesman. The second, a fine silver medal, was won by E. S. Shelby. Mr. Shelby is one of our most wide awake vouug men, but now a resident of Knightstown. The 3rd. a fine fountain pen was won by Chas. Davis.

We regret exceedingly that we were unable to accept the invitation to be present on the plasant occasion above mentioned.

C. M. Gintiier Keturns to Ciretnlield.

Last Monday C. M. Gitther, who left this city somewhat suddenly some three months ago, returned and was here all day. At the time he left he was charged with forgery, embezzelment etc. His wife, Mrs. Alma daughter of Dr.'Martin recently brought suit for divorce and asked that lier maiden name be restored. Last Saturday night Mr. Ginther returned to his mothers home at Hagerstown, and there learned of the divorce proceedings. On Monday he aud bis broth-er-in-law Mr. Robbins, a Richmond attorney came to our city to look after his side of the divorce proceedings. Mr. Ginther says that he will fight the divorce proceedings. He also told Mr. K. W. Felt the Prosecuting Attorney that if he was wanted at any time on a criminal charge that he could be found at either Hagerstown or Richmond. While waiting for the train Messrs Ginther aud Robbins left the depot and came down town, while at the drug store of Wilkins & Beckner they got into a heated discussion with Dr. Martin and his son Will. Bystanders interfered and prevented any trouble. It seems that Mr. Robbins in the afternoon had been at Dr. Martins house.and had talked to Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Ginther and Mrs. M's mother Mrs. Dr. Howard Sr., in a manner that they regarded as very unbecoming and uncalled for. As soon as Ed Howard heard of the same and the whereabouts of Mr. Robbins, he ran over to the drug store and the trouble began at once. He rushed &t Robbins who gave him a stunning blow in the left eye and then they went at it, until Howard finally secured the best of it. Noble Howard Jr. nit the man a time or two and Will Martin attempted to jump in but did not. The bystanders did all they could to stop the fight and did prevent Dr. Howard Sr. and Dr. Martin from joining in. The affair was much regreted by all parties concerned and especially Messrs Wilkins & Beckner in whose store it happened but not the slightest blame does or should attach to them. Mr Ginther did not show the slightest desire to join in the row and has been centured for letting his friend contend against odda. Mr. Robbins was arrested, $ ave bond and had his trial set for next Monday morning. On Tueeday morning Ed Howard and N. P. Howard Jr. appeared before his Hotter |j^tor Herron, Ed entered a plea of guilty, to the charge of provoke, and was fined and costed $8.05. The matter pertaining to N. P. Howard Jr. was defered until Monday morning. We understand that had it not been for a wrong construction being placed upon a remark made by Mr. Robbins at Dr. Martins home the alteration would not have oc» cured.

That Greenfield and Hancock county are advancing with rapid strides in wealth and population is being demonstrated every day. The resources of the city and county for the accumulation of wealth and advancement in importance are becoming more numerous as the days go by. Until from a muddy hamlet and Buttonwood Swamps that subjected us to the jests and ridicule of adjoining counties, that were more advanced in what you please to term refinement and wealth, we have taken our place where we properly belong among the leading coanties and county seats of the state. We have as fine farms, residences aud barns, as are found in any county.

It is with pride that we allude to our roads. A network of gravel roads extend to all parts of the county, there being not a town, hamlet or church in the county but may be reached by a gravel road They are free and in better condition than those in many of our boasted enlightened counties. There was more gravel put upon our reads the past fall than for 3 years previous.

Nice churches ornament our towns and county where the gospel is preached every Sunday, and nice comfortable temple of learning decorate, each town and neighborhood where children are taught within a short distance of their home?.

Many of our farmers are investing in well bred stock, horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs and poultry, that are heard from with emphasis whereover they compete for premiums.

Our city can boast of an excellent set of business men, who carry the finest line of goods in their respective business to be found iu the state. The leading ones reaognize the influence possessed by a good local newspaper, in the upbuilding of the city and county, and give it their patronage not simply because the editor desires to live but because they know there is no doing without a good paper. No other influence is more potent in building up a city and county. They go into every household circle that is every one that patronizes the merchant. They silently whisper, "trade with Joues, or Smith as the case may be. And the man whose ad does not appear is not "in it" so to speak.

Over 500 factory employes, happy and contented emerge from their various homes in different parts of the city to their respective duties each day. They are receiving good wages and many of them are erecting good homes of their •wn.

The weekly pay rolls taken collectively amounts to $5000 to $8000 per week. We are no longer to be sneered at as strangers will discover who pass through our factories, and we are advancing all the time thanks to energy, pluck, gas and enterprise. I

DELINQUENTS ATTENTION.

The Bank Drafts postponed.

The subscribers living in this and adjoining counties who were delinquent $1 or more have been so prompt in coming in and paying or else in writing, saying that they would pay sometime during January, we have concluded to postpone making a draft through the bank until February 1, at which time we propose to draw through the Banks on all -Subscribers who are §1.00 or over in arrears. In order to save the cost of exchange, we would advise all delinquents iu the county to call at the office and settle. We regret having to do this but it i3 simply a matter of business. Parties with whom we have business send us statements the first of each month and the amount due has to be paid. Please come in and pay without the draft. It4
