At No. 27 West Main street, Greenfield, we have a well arranged, modern undertaking establishment. We have a complete line of cheap and medium goods, and earnestly solicit business of these grades, and promise to give it our best and most careful attention. We also have in stock a line of very fine metallic and wood caskets, and other goods to correspond, that are not excelled iu the best establishments in large cities. We make a specialty of fine, elaborate funerals. Our equipments are amply sufficient and modern. We have no business except undertaking and give it our undivided study and attention, hence we think we are more competent, and have a stronger claim for your patronage than if we were engaged in other business and made undertaking a secondary matter. We also have an establishment at Morristown. C. W. MORRISON & Sow.

Local and Personal.

Everybody in this county that has a dollar to spend should begin to realize that the place to make it go the farthest is at the Spot Cash Store in Greenfield. There is no question but that, that store is rapidly coming to the front in popular-^ ity and amount of sales, one good thing that is done there, is giving the privilege to a customer of returning any single article and getting the money back if wished. A store that is run on these rules always does the square thing. You should never go to Greenfield without going into this store and looking around. It is just wonderful to see the crowds and great variety of goods. The Spot Cash Store is surely doing a big thing for the community by selling goods so cheap.

Monday morning, Mayor A. J. Herron Councilman Z. T. Morford, Henry Rumrill and Robt. Banks, left for the Cherokee strip, Oklahoma, where they have land claims. It is said there area few claims that men with Winchesters are trying to hold down, even if they don't own them. Taylor Morford says if a man with a Winchester is holding his claim, he will tell him to get off e^id if the other fellow don't get he will, until he can get reinforcements anyway. The boomers took guns and fishing tackle with them, so look out for some big yarns when they get back.

Pupils who wrote in March and failed, need not present another certificate as the old one is on file in my office. Those who failed need write only on those subjects in which they fell too low.

A Druii'Itard Wlio Disgraces His Office. State Geologist Gorby, who gets on a rampage occasionally, has reached the point that even the Indianapolis Sentinel goes back on him. Last Saturday Gorby was arrested stupidly drunk in the Union Station, and lodged in the Station Honso o^er night. As a Democratic official, G'-rby brings disgrace and humiliation to the party and the citizens of the State iu general. There are certainly enough men

iu the State to fill the offices wh do not get drunk and disgrace themselves aud their constituents, then why elect men who are liable to get drunk. An ounce of prevention is always worth a pound of cure. The Sentinel had a sensible editorial in last Sunday's issne, on the subject as follows •'Hasn't the governor the power to suspend from office a state olfiicial who so disgrace* himself and his official position as to spend the night in a drunken stupor in a police station? If he has he ought to exercise it, and if he hasn't he ought to assume it. For months the state of Indiana and the democratic party have been disgraced by the man who holds the office of state, geologist tbe party and the public generally would be pleased to see the disgraee removed."
