The REPUBLICAN has always censidered that it is not the especial duty of a newspaper to undertake to lecture its readers on the personal actions of various citizens. As a rule it does no good. Many citizens however aroused by a sense of shame and outraged decency, feel that the actions of some boys and girls, some young men and young ladies and even some married men and women need te be rebuked. Some have urged that it be done at once, unless the persons who are guilty cause their wanderings from the paths of prudence.

Mr. L. E. Tigner the new Superintendent of the Holweg & Reese Glass Works is a hustler and a very pleasant gentleman. He has increased the force at that establishment and is turning out an enor"mous number of jars daily. Mr. Tigner is a systematic, methodical business man and is putting every thing in fine shape about the factory. Mr. Tyner brought four excellent men with him from Fairmount, viz James Steward, the mixer,

Walton Owens, master teaser, Dora Haisley sorter, and Greeley Bell, boss packer. These are all nice young men and firstclass workmen.

As has been characteristic with him, J. K. Henby of the Pan-Handle nurseries is constantly on the alert, for cboioe new varieties of fruit. Tuesday he exhibited in our office one of the finest specimens of the New Red Sweet Prolific Currant that we have ever seen, The bush was but a year old, yet it was laden with fruit, while other currants have been affected by the winter, this variety was uninjured. It bears very young, is quite hardy and the sweetest ever yet grown. Prolific is a highly appropriate name. Mr. W. G. Scott of this city is connected with Mr. Henby in the introduction of this new and valuable currant and these gentlemen have tested it thoroughly and ascertained to a certainty that it is all that they claim for it. All fruit raisers of the county know that when these gentlemen put an article on the market it is firstclass. C. G. Sample of this city has the agency for the county and will visit our people with a specimen. Those desiring to see them growing can see it at the nurseries, south-east of this city, where are grown all varieties of fruits and nursery stock imaginable.

GREENFIELD, INDIANA.

The Zigzag Cycling Clubs Road Race. Last Monday the Zigzag Cycling Club of Indianapolis gave their annual five mile handicap road race. The race was run on the Pendleton pike, between Max-: well and Greenfield, over a splendid piece of road, but it was in the face of a strong wind from the south, considering which the time made was excellent. Amos Hynes won first prize, Dell Allison second prize and Walter C. Marmon third prize. The latter took the time medal, as he made it in the quickest time, 16 minutes and 14 seconds. Hynes and Allison were given two and a half minutes the start: of Marmon who with two others started on the scratch. There were twelve entries. The prizes were beautiful gold badges. The finish of the race was witnessed by a big crowd. There were probably 150 cyclers from the city and among them a number of handsome young ladies. The wheelmen of Indianapolis like the roads of Hancock county and pronounce them the best in the State, There are always a large number here every Sunday. The gates of this city are thrown open and we make them welcome. It is a good ad for Greenfield.

Tremendous .Floods.

The rain continues to rain, rain, rain and then some. Last Monday night the northern part of this county was deluged with one of the biggest rains eyer known, and it extendi north over the central part of the state. Blue River, Six Mile, Nameless Creek, Little and Big Brandywine, Sugar Creek and Buck Creek were all higher than for many years and some higher than ever known before. Many bridges have been washed out and travel. impeded. The roads have been seriously damaged. All the bridge.-} on the C. W. & M- R. R. between Carthage and Anderson were washed out. Corn is not more than half in and the crop outlook is bad.

Sheep Raising in Hanuock County. Sheep raising has proved profitable to many farmers in this County and it should be more generally engaged in. There are three profits to be made on sheep. The first is that sheep make a farm cleaner and more fertile. Each acre of a farm is rendered more productive and thus more valuable. Sheep renders valuable even waste lauds. The second profit is, sheep wt the products on a farm in the way ot° hay, fodder, grain etc, and thus affords the best home market in the world. Charge the feed given the sheep against them at good market values, anil the sheep will cost but three or four cents par pound and can readily be marketed at six cents, thus affording a third profit. Spring lambs bring eveu better prices. Farmers should diversify their stock interests and push every thing for all there is in it.

Here is What tlie Rainy Weather is Doing,

At the beginning of the season we bought heavily of low shoes and Oxford ties for ladies and now we find ourselves greatly overloaded, owiug to the very rainy weather of the past few weeks, so to reduce our btoCk we will reduce the price on every shoe in the house until the stock is reduced to a mininium. This is a good chance to provide yourselves with a pair of Oxford ties at a lower price than ever offered before.
