Saloon Business There.

Last Monday twenty-seven of Wilkinson's citizens were here to testify before the grand jury ns to what they knew in regard to the wrecking of the saloon there, August 27th. Between 12 and 1 o'clock that night, 12 or 15 men, all masked, went to the saloon building in Wilkinson, owned by Chas. O. Eakin of Mohawk in which was a lot of saloon furniture and fixtures belonging to John Stewart of Y/ilkinson and made a wreck of the same. A pool table was smashed a large mirror broken, holes knocked in the walls and ceiling the windows broken the doors of the beer cooler knocked off and about everything else broken up. At the time, Erastus Varner had applied for license to sell liquor in the room and the same has been granted since then. The room is now being repaired and arrangements made to open up the saloon. The people of that community are set against a saloon running there and the saloon business in Wilkinson has a rocky road to travel. It has been intimated that there is a very complete organization which proposes to see that no saloon shall run in Wilkinson.

Local and Personal.

The Rushville Graphic expresses our ideas exactly in the following: "Among the many questions affecting the wellbeing of any city town or village, none is of more vital importance than that of where its citizens purchase their goods. The prosperity of any community depends in a great measure upon the manner in which the residents answer that question. We can conceive of no greater ingratitude than that of a man earning his wages, or making his wealth in the place he lives, moves and has his being In, and then buying the bulk of his goods in another place. It is like a child slappiug its parent's face. Next to such a man is that one who endeavors to break up the harmonions relationship existing between the citizen and merchant or between merchant and merchant.''

Last week Miss Nettie Dunn,

of

this

city, and Mrs. Nathan Hunt and her son Roscoe

of

Maxwell, went to Battle Creek

Mich., where the young man will attend the Advent College. Mrs. Hunt intends to attend the Bible lectures, and Miss Dunn will take a course of training in the Battle Creek Sanitarium, which is an immense institution. In a letter to her father, Martin Dumi, she said the Sun-day-school at the Tabernacle last Sunday had 1052 scholars.

Many of our people will doubtless visit Indianapolis next week, during the meeting of the State fair. The great stock show, the racing and the poultry exhibit will catch the men while the ladies will enjoy the grand display in the Woman's and Floral departments. The big spec tacular exhibition, "The Last Days of Pompeii," will also attract many visitors.

The case which was recentiy begun by Frank Alford, against Joseph Alford to have a guardian appointed, has been dismissed at the applicants cost. The business men here who are well acquainted with Joseph, felt that the case was an outrage, and he would with their testimony easily have beaten the case.

The marriage of Mr, Mont V. Wiggins formerly of this city, but now with the Bowen-Merrill Co. at Indianapolis, and Miss Caraline Caylor, of that city, will occur Oct. 10. Mr. Wiggins has a handsome home prepared for his bride at 277 Broadway, where they wiU at once begin housekeeping.

Contractor Kirkpatrick is pushing the work on the south side of the Square relative to paving the street with brick. The job has been commenced as though he understood his business. One side will be finished before work is commenced on another.—Noblesville Ledger.

The State Fair will open at Indianapolis next Monday, Sept. 17, and all Indications point to one of the most successful fairs in the hist* ry of the State. The rices will be exceptionally fine, as some of the best horses in the country will compete for the purses.

Steven Roberts, a stock dealer from Noblesville brought a car load of about 300 stock hogs which he had purchased in Nebraska, to our city Monday. He has met with ready sale for them. Dr. J. M. Larimore bought 50 of them and Hon. Wm. R. Hough 203.

A feature of the State Fair next week at Indianapolis will be the big band contest. Bauds from Cincinnati, Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis will compete for the honors and a line musical treat can be expected. The dates of the fair are Sept. 17 to 22, all of next week.

Yesterday Thad Rigdon, of Fountaintown, was here and purchased two nice buggies of John Evans, the harness and buggy man. Mr. Rigdon has leased the Hittle livery barn in New Palestine, and will conduct a first-class livery business there.

Mr. Maranville has a patented process by which he can prepare a perfect legal map giving all meter and bounds of lots, locate business blocks, residences, etc., in »n eminently satisfactory manner. There is no goou map of our present city with recent additions and it is something badly needed. When he comes again to arrange the final details, Mr. Maranville will show maps of other cities which will be proof of the excellent and satisfactory work he does.

Wilkinson has a New Creamery, and the World's Prize Butter Maker.

John Mingle, from Centerville, has contracted to erect and operate a creamery at Wilkinson. The lumber is now on the ground and the factory will be in operation inside of thirty days. Mr. Mingle took the prize as butter maker at the World's Fair at Chicago last year. He now holds the world's medal. We congratulate Wilkinson and Hancock county on the new addition to our industries. A well managed creamery pays the owners, is a source of profit to the farmers, and largely assists them in enriching and building up their farms. A dairying community soon becomes a rich community.

Monday County Chairman, T. M. Green, Will Henley and Thos. K. Mull, Republican candidate for Joint-Senator,of Rush Co., were in Greenfield. With E. E. Stoner they called on a number of our politicians and business men, and made a fine impression. Mr. Mull remained over until Tuesday and extended his acquaintance. He made many friends while here, as all who met him were pleased with his appearance and conversation. He is a thorough going business man, who can and will be trusted to look after our interests in the next legislature. Mr. Mull is exactly the kind of a candidate Hancock county wanted, and we will give him a grand vote in November. He will be here Saturday at the Fairbanks meeting, and will canvass the county later, and meet all our people.

Greenfield Should Have a Canning Factory,

The agricultural reports this year showthat Indiana lias led all other States in the corn and wheat crops. The average is corn 80 per cent, wheat 103 per cent. Illinois next with corn 78, wheat 102 Ohio third with corn 70, wheat 101 and no other state® close. Indiana is a leader every year only in corn and wheat, but in the iduction of all vegetables used for can ug purposes. In all Indiana no bet location can be found than Greenfie for a canning factory since it is cen illy located in Hancock county, one of richest and most fertile counties in State. In this county everything can raised in abundance that a canning itory needs and the returns per acre \i double and treble that from wheat and rn. A canning factory would afford wo for several hundred people make a va profitable market for the farmers for igetables, and add to the business of oUi merchants and mechanics in every line. A well managed canning factory would soon add largely to the productiveness and wealth of Hancock county. As all classes would be benefitted, let all go to work and assist in the organization of a company. Now is the accepted time to begin the work so as to be thoroughly ready and equipped for next year.

The Adjonrad Council Meeting.
