I go at what I am about as if there was nothing else in the world for the time being. That's the secret of all hard working men but most of thpm can't carry it into, their amusements. Luckily1 for me I can stop from all work at short notice and turn head overheete-in the slgtit of all creation, and say, "I won't be good, or bad, or wise, or anything, til! two o'clock to-morrow."[Charles Kingsley.

City Marshal Patterson Enforcing the laws.—Be Says Saloon Keepers Can go to Sunday School.

Since the recent Republican primary election, city marshal Patterson, has been rigidly enforcing the law. Saloons are not allowed to open before 5 a. m., and are closed promptly at

p. m., and

on Sunday kept closed both iu the front and rear. Liyerymen were asked to run all buggies in off the street, and blacksmiths were also directed to keep old wagons, buggies, ete., off the streets and sidewalks, and merchants likewise as to boxes and barrels. Gambling rooms are watched, so that a man who wants to buck the tiger will take a big risk. The marshal is now doing his duty and what ought to be done all the time. Such conduct is popular with evey one as soon as they get used to it, but we must say Greenfield has not been used to running according to law for some time. The majority of saloon keepers prefer to obey |be law, and would do so if all were served alike, and made to toe the mark. Just now saloon men are kicking vigorously about drug stores, one especially, and say they are willing to obey the law, but want everyone else to. It is right and proper that all should obey the law, and that marshal and mayor who see that all do so will be the most popular ones Greenfield has ever had. There are more law abiding, law respecting citizens iu Greenfield than there are law breakers aud toughs, then why not let all good people stand together and uphold the officers who do their duty, and condemn and punish those who do not:

For County Treasurer.

As the time draws near for the Republican County Convention we are turning our eyes to the most available men and those that will guarantee our victory, we have one in Veruon Township that has led our party to success in two elections and gave the people of that township the best official record of any Trustee in the past quarter century, and that is J. P. McCord.

The Republican party has at all times put before the people the very best men as candidatesand at this time we will do likewise again. We will put out one of the best men iu our ranks it we nominate Mi\ McCord and one that will insure us the reward.

I voice the sentiments of the people when I say the party should nominate Parks McCord for Treasurer of Hancock County. This is the best chance to elect a Republican set of county officers that has presented itself to us for the past twenty five years. Mr. McCord is a man of spotless character both public and private, he is a gentleman that has never been questioned of being implicated as some have been iu the illegal appropriation of our funds. Mr. McCord is a man, a true man in every sense of thfe term, let us give him the nomination by acclamation and in November he will as surely be elected as he is nominated.

BROWN TOWNSHIP REPUBLICAN.

Twelfth District Union Sunday School Convention at Rushville.

The union Sunday-school convention, of the twelfth district, composing the counties of Fayette, Hancock, Rush and Union, met at' Rushville, Wednesday of last week. The meeting was a good one. A number of Hancock county workers were said to have been present, and iu the Rushville Republican's report of the same, we find that Lewis Rule and Miss Emma Paruell, both of Blueriver Tp., took an active part. Miss Parnell read an excellent paper on "Sunshine Mikes the Shadow." The statistical report of Hancock couuty was as follows:

Number of schools 45 officers and teachers 436 scholars enrolled in Sundayschool, 3110: total in Protestant Sundaypceools, 3546 common school enumera tiou 5,870: leaving 2324 out of Suuday-

school, 6228 out of church and Sunday school, 10,900. The.showing of Hancock county was nbout an average of the other counties, but this is certainly a poor showing. Let the Sunday-school and church workers see what is the matter, and then correct the same, so that a better and a grander work may be done.
