A Telephone Kxcliange For Greenfield. Now that many of the telephone patents have expired, the cost of telephones has been very largely decreased, Companies have been formed for the purpose of putting in telephone exchanges over the country and as the cost of service is not grea every city can afford to have them. By contracting for fifty instruments an exchange is now an assured fact in Noblesville. Greenfield's business men should take steps at once to secure an exchange in our city.

Greenfield Can Have a Public Library—A Donation of 82000 Ready Public libraries are becoming a matter of necessity to all live, active progressive cities. They are being established and conducted so that the young men and women of the community are enjoying grand and noble advantages and opportunities. A public library in Greenfield would be of untold advantage to our people, especially to the school children, or those just out of school, who are being moulded for the active work and duties of life. There is already quite a nucleus of books in the old county or township library, and we know the temper of the public spirited people of our city well enough to say that they would donate very liberally for books, if proper action is taken. We uuterstand that one party is willing now to let the city have for a public library $2000, upon which interest be paid until said party's death, and then the principal te be the city's absolutely. No doubt others can be found who will do as well or better, and why not inaugurate the movement at once. We copy an extract from the March North American Review, by E. C. Hovey, concerning the possibilities of the public library. "There are many parts of tha country where the free public library is still unknown, and where its value as an educational factor is not as yet appreciated. During the past few years, however a new impetus has been given to the movement, so that to-day it may with truth be said that in its new life the free public library is passing through very much the same phases of existance as did the free public school, which for many years received its sole support from a very small section of the country. The benefit to be derived from a collection of books open to the free use of the public is being more widely appreciated, and its introduction to localities to which it has heretofore been a stranger must necessarily follow. The intelligent teaehers of the present day are among the strongest supporters of the free public library, haviug the opportunity to see the great advantage which the pupils under their charge enjoy in the free use of a library ot well selected books. The very best results in education will be found in that town where the librarian is enthusiastic in his efforts to supply the needs of the school superintendent in carrying ont his desires of instilling in the minds of his pupils that habit of reading which tends to make their studies tenfold more beneficial. This co-operation between these two men charged with the education of the young results not only in forming a habit of reading, but in teaching a pupil to think and investigate for himself."

The Stove Foundry iboi Claims IJoins
Operating in the hands of Receiver Henry Snow, the Stove Works is making some money. ITe so reports to the Court and Judge W. H. Martin orders that the labor claims againstbe it paid. This includes the notes held by the hands which were given by the company last summer aud fall to tide over the stringency. The order is proper, as the men who did the work at a reduced price to help pull the Works through are certainly entitled to their claims in full. We are glad to know that the Works are being run at a profit since it insures continuous work. The foundry will be operated either by the Receiver or by some one who will purchase the plant. No good and paying institution like the Greenfield Stove Foundry should or will be continued idle.
The Midway Plaisance Entertainment. The entertainment given by the ladies of the M. E. church, in the Odd Fellow's building, last Friday and Saturday, was quite a success financially. The receipts were $200. The Midway shows, such as the Esquimaux Village, Moorish|Palace, Egyptians, Chinese and Japanese characters, Hagenbeck's, Indian Village, Ferris Wheel and Beauty Show, were all realistic. The Beauty Show certainly surpassed that at the World's Fair, as the young ladies representing the differ ent characters were indeed fair to look upon. The Vienna Cafe in the basement surpased the Chicago Midway, as the fare was better aud the prices lower. The ladies are to be congratulated on their success.
