"Cliurcli Building," tlie Subject of Elder Dailey's Sermon Last Niglit.

As had been announced, Elder Dailey of the Christian church, preached last night on the subject of "Cliurcli Building." The audience was large and composed of many of our enterprising citizens, who listened attentively to the subject, under consideration. Elder Dailey commenced his talk by reading scripture texts pertaining to the building of Solomon's temple. Continuing his talk, he said: "It is said that this county needs a new court house the city needs anew opera house, new hotels, etc. All this may be true, but what we need more than all these, is new churches, in which the people can worship." "Go into any to*n," he continued, "the size of this city, with the advantages we have and you will find churches built on modern plans and that area credit to their city. Greenfield is twenty years behind the times on the church buildings and the Christian church, with the help and cooperation of her liberal citizens, intends to erect a suitable place of worship." Elder Dailey then explained the plan on which the payments of subscriptions are to be paid, as follows: "It is proposed by the church to build a house that when completed, will cost $15,000, including the new lot they purchased last year. The church owns property to the amount of about $5000 and a subscription of $10,000 is asked. If you should subscribe to the fund, the amount is to be paid in three equal installments. The first payment payable the first of June, the second the first of December, 1895 and the third, the first of June, 1896. Hon. Morgan Chandler and Dr. W. R. King have the subscription papers, and will call on you within the next two weeks. We would urge that all be as liberal as their circumstances will permit in this worthy enterprise, for the building of the church will be one of the largest advertisements this city has ever had.

Fight Between Two Prominent Business Men.

An altercation took place Monday afternoon between Charles Gibbs and John L. Fry, in the hardware store of Gibbs & Thomas. It is claimed by Gibbs that Fry, and a couple of other men, are trying to blackmail him by writing letters derogatory to his character, and otherwise trying,r ~\ajure his reputation. This Mr. Fry denies. Yesterday Mr. Fry went to the store to transact business with Mr. Thomas, of the firm, aud after he was through, Gibbs called him to the back part of the store, and after a few words, commenced to pummel him. Mr. Fry, being an old man, and with nothing to defend himself, had to stand and take the whipping until W. C. Dudding aud Elbert Tyner interfered and separated them. Gibbs then drew a revolver and threatened Mr. Fry's life. Mr. Fry was not seriously hurt, but carries a black eye in consequence of the fight. The difficulty yesterday has been brewing for several months and originates over some trouble Mr. Gibbs is said to have had with an Indianapolis woman last fall, which he claims is false and only brought up to cause him trouble. Gibbs went before 'Squire Geary and plead guilty to assault and battery and was fined $1.00 and costs. In another case, for carrying concealed weapons, he, through his attorney, plead guilty before 'Squire Spencer, and was fined and costed $10.

The Indiana Republican Editors to Meet.

The regular annual meeting of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association will be held at Indianapolis Thursday and Friday. There will be a reception and banquet at the New Denison Thursday evening.

Friday evening the editors and their wives will be entertained at the Grand Opera House and witness the play, "Charley's Aunt," through the kindness of Messrs Dickson & Talbott. Anew constitution will be before the Association for adoption. It will certainly be an enjoyable and profitable occasion and few Indiana Republican Editors will miss it.

Representative White's Bills.

Representative John Q. White has introduced a bill in regard to the erection of factories on the banks of lakes or running streams, which more particular has reference to the straw paper mill on Brandywine and another bill in reference to the stopping of passenger trains at county seat towns. We are decidedly iu favor of his railroad bill and Greenfield is decidedly in favor of all passenger trains stopping here and also carrying passengers to and from here. We are entitled to such services.

No Base Ball In Greenfield This Year.

The base ball management have decided hot to have a ball club here this year. Last year the stockholders lost sonic money.

They need not make any tours, but simply play with other clubs in the county. It is noi.sense for a city this size to undertake to run a professional .-4 team. The grounds have been leased by W a am os to a ID the poultry business on a big scale.
