THE GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN

PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY.

Vol. 16, No. 10—Entered at the Postofficeas econd-clasa mall matter. W. E. MONTGOMERY,

THE syndicate had to rally last week to protect the gold reserve in the Treasury. The foreign syndicate promised Gx*over they would protect the II. S. Treasury. The men who helped to elect Grover ought to be proud of their statesman, he popular in England, both on account of free trade notions and of his single gold standard ideas. His Lombard street London Jew friends have promised to protect the U. S. Treasury. All they want is a chance and we will get the same kind of protection that a wolf gives a lamb.

THE Democrat party was so very solicitous about the duty on tin two years ago. They were afraid it would make the laboring man's dinner pail cost him a few cents more. Now in any second hand store you can see many "second hand dinner pails, for sale cheap." When the legislation threw laboring men out of work he no longer needed his dinner pail. The laboring man Is more interested in an abundance of work at good wages than he is in a cents additional cost on his dinner pail but that was a mistake too. Tin was cheaper than ever when we got to making it in this country.

A Chance te Make Money.

I am out of debt, and thanks to the Dish Washer business for it. In the past five weeks I have make over $500, and I am so thaukful that feel like telling everybody, so that they can be benefitted •toy my experience. Anybody can sell Dish Washers because everybody wants one, especially when it can be get so cheap. I believe that in two years from now every family will have one. You can get full particulars by addressing the Iron City Dish Washer Co., E. E. Pittsburg, Pa., and you can't help but make money in this business. I believe that I can clear over $3,000 the coming year, and I am not going to let such an opportunity pass without improvement. We can't expect to succeed without trying.

LI HUNG CHANG now telegraphs Grover Cleveland and says, "I have my yellow jacket back, where is yours?" The silence is oppressive. Grover's is gone for good.

TIIE 53rd Congress adjourns to-day. It goes out unwept, unhonored and unsung. It was elected in a blizzard two years ago, it has given the country a blizzardy time ever since, and to-day goes out in a blizzard. It has been absolutely the most worthless Congress ever assembled beneath the dome of the.capitol.

Old Jim Is Dead.

The faithful horse that Rev. JohnHeim owned spent 21 years in the ministry, pulling his owner over the country. During that time he traveled over a good part of Green, Monroe, Morgan, Johnson, Shelby, Marion, Hamilton, Hancock, Boone, Howard, Clinton, Tipton, Henry and Rush counties. In the last year he became so old and feeble that his owner cared for him by fixing a good warm stable and good feed, for his faithful service. He drew his la3t breath last Monday, March, the 4th, 1895, and was given a decent burial.

Almost Scalped By a Wagon Wheel. Mr. Marcee Smith's eleven year old son fell from a wagon Saturday afternoon and the hind wheel passing over his head inflicted a wound eight inches long on one side and about four inches long on the other side. The scalp and periosteum was torn loose from the bone. Sixteen stitches were required to close the wound. The boy also had two fingers mashed. Dr. J. S. Bell, of Philadelphia and his son, Dr. Chas. A. Bell, of this city dressed the wounds. It was a close call for the lid as the wagon was loaded with clover s?ed.

The 60th birthday dinner of Mr. M. C. Foley was a complete success and surprise to that gentleman as his wife intended it should be. Prof. Arthur Foley, of the State University, who came over to visit his parents assisted by keeping his father engaged in conversation in the parlor while the preperatlons for an elaborate dinner was going on in the kitchen and dining room. At a reasonable hour his four sisters, Mrs. Theodore Martin, of Richmond, Mrs. Freeman Crawford, Mrs. Milton Morris and Mrs. L. W. Gooding accompanied by their husband marched into astonish the "Lord of th9 n.anor." The dinner, the principal feature was per feet in every detail and was served in the usual graceful manner of the hostess. A feast of delight was the music rendered by the son and daughters who are masters of the piano, violin and guitar. There was nothing to mar the pleasure of the day unless it was a flitting cloud of sadness at the remembrance of the absent or departed who so oft had been present at these occasions.

A meeting was called last evening at the residence of Mrs. I. P. Poulsen for the purpose of organizing .another M.

Wells Executive Board, Mrs. G. W. Duncan, Mrs. E. B. Howard and Miss Ora Bragg. Mrs. Homer Bragg, Miss Alma Martin and Mrs. W. W. Cook were appointed on the program committee for the next meeting.

High School Ijectare Course. The last lecture of the course will be given by Dr. A. A. Willitts, on Wednesday evening, March 13. There is not a more popular lecturer on the American platform. Wherever he is known his coming is hailed with delight. No one can hear him without being pleased and profited.

I have heard Mr. Willitts three times on "Sunshine" and am glad I am to hear him again. When you hear Mr. Willits you will not wonder at his choice of ubjects. MARGARET TOMS. 1 heard the Rev. A.A Willitts lecture twice at Rushville. Will say I think all who hear him March 13 on the subject of "Sunshine" will be delighted.

MRS. H. L. MOORE.

We have kept the best wine uutil the last. I have heard Dr. A. A. Willitts twice in his lecture on "Sunshine". He combines the humor of Burdette with the polish of Wenclling. There is a rax*e treat in store for those who go to hear him. MART E. WOODARD.

I have heard Dr. Willitts twice on "Sunshine". The man himself is the very embodiment of sunshine and his manner is charming.

MRS. HO.MEH A. BRAGG.

I have had the pleasure of twice listen ning to Dr. Willits. He is certainly a most entertaining lecturer sprightly, humorous, yet with much wisdom in his witty sayings. Everything he says has a helpfnl tendency.

The .Lady Editors Return Thanks and Touch the Hancock Democrat up on Its Use ot Boiler Plate.

Tha ladies who had charge of the REPUBLICAN on the 22 nd met at the residence of Mrs. I. P. Poulson Friday evening to settle up the affairs of the paper and Colonial Tea. Among other things that come up for discussion was the very courteous treatment we received during our stay in Mr. Montgomery's ollice. The ladies were unanimojtf iu praise of his kindness and liberality and a hearty vote of thanks was extended him by the late editorial staff. Some there were who were desirous wf expla n^iug to the public why any "boiler plate" matter (which seems to have precipitated the tender feeling of our brother of the Hancock Democrat fame inio some sort of a "boiler" where they still lie simmering) was used. Money ''the root of all evil" was what the ladies were after and not literary fame. The plate matter was donated by Mr. Montgonery where as had original matter bean used the cost of composit on would have had to have been paid which would have greatly lessened the profit on the "write ups" and advertisements. Having accomplished our object we may in the near future show Greenfield what we can do when left to our own sweet wills with no thought of economy staring us in the face. A meeting was called for Tuesday evening at Mrs. Poulson's for the purpose of perfecting a permanent organization whose aim will be to add little by little to sums on hand and which will be needed toward furnishing the new M. E. church. Dainty refreshments were served by Mrs. Poulson assisted by Mrs. S. R. Wells and Mrs. E. B. Howard. We gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness to the Herald and Tribune for favors bestowed. The fact that they having published the locals and programs we sent in free of charge is highly appreciated.

When our attention was called to the plate matter by the Hancock Democrat we made a few observations: First our paper contained 22 columns of matter set up in the REPUBLICAN office, 6 columns of plates and 20 columns of advertising. The issue of the Hancock Democrat that criticised us contained 15 columns of set matter, only about two thirds what we had, and 10 columns of plates or about twice as many as contained by our paper, and 23 columns of advertising. Now, honor bright, who gave the people the most reading Our paper was a daily, whereas the Democrat had a week to get their paper out and yet used about twice as many plates as we did. "Oh, consistency thou art a jewel" but some people are never expected to consist.
