A man by the name of Hunt has a small vial of gold nuggets which he found in Brown county, this State. For every dollars worth of gold he ha9 he says he has spent $26.00 worth of time. There is no paying Indiana gold field, and talk of it is bosh. A few stray particles may have been brought in here during the Glacial period, but they are very few.
Mrs. S. M. Kraeer has packed ber household goods aud will leave for Pennsylvania in a few days. She intends spending the summer there and at Lake Chatauqua. In the fall she and her husband will locate in some city in the Northera Indiana oil region, where he is now
engaged
gains
drilling wells. Mr. and Mrs.
Kraeer leave many friends here who regret to see them go. The REPUBLICAN wants our business nen to see this extract, which is taken from the Rochester Republican. "A newspaper is just what the name implies, the avenue through which the public
a knowledge of the events of the day. Every column of a paper is a news column. Even the advertisements are business news. The shrewd merchant realizes the fact and lets the people know through a well wor.led advertisement what news there is in the way of bargains. A clean cut and to the point ad vertisement has lots of news to many people every day."

The many friends and acquaintances of Mrs. Amelia Handy Joyce will be grieved to learn of her death, which occured in this city Tuesday morning, April 30, at the home of her parents, Mims F. and Lizzie Handy. She was born October 14, 1874, near the old Handy homestead, north of Morristown, and at the time of her death was twenty years, six months and sixteen days old.
Three years ago she was united in marriage to Stephen Joyce, he being killed a year later in a railroad wreck. One child was born to them, now a little bright-
eyed
girl of two summers, alone in the world without father or mother. For over a year Mrs. Joyce health had gradually grown worse, until last Christinas, since which time she rapidly declined.
Though
not a member of any church,
she was fully prepared to go, and her last hoars were as peaceful as a summer day, and when the end came it was as though she had just] fallen asleep.
Hers was a beautiful life, full of sun
shine,
the memory of which will live in the hearts of all who knew her. Behold, the gateway stands ajar.
To greet thee, in its bright array Thy spirit! in that world alar
Hath wakened to a new-born day, And standing in its portals bright, Bids welcome to the morning light.

They not only enjoy a good business in this city but their practice extends for miles around and a number of them are called both originally aud in consultation into adjoining counties. Greenfield is proud of her physicians and bilow we give a list of them in the order, so far as we were able to find out that they began the practic here. N. P. Howard Sr., M. M. Adams, S. M.

Greenfield and with those of any city no matter how large.

GREENFIELD, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MAY 16,1895.
IT IS A DISMAL FAILURE.
WHEN IT COMES TO GIVING A WARNING OF DANGER.
Tlie A a mi Gong on Mechanic Street Would be taken for a Milk Wagon Bell—or a L.arge Cow Bell. "It is a dismal failure" is-the verdict of all fair minded people who wish to secure protection at the railroad crossings. The electric alarm bell is being tried, and as a danger warning, it is no good. The fact is, the alarm bell is such a flimsy affair that it is a wonder any sensible man would suggest using them for railroad crossings. They would probably do for the milk wagon or delivery wagon. What the people want is something at the railroad crossings which will prevent people from crossing the tracks when a train is going through the city. This the alarm bell does not do, as we are told that people get confused and are unable to distinguish the alarm bell, and drive over the tracks anyway. If automatic gates were placed at the crossings, it would prevent people on either side from crossing the tracks. Of course the bell commences ringing when a train is within 1,500 feet of the crossing, and so does the bell on the engine, but the engine bell makes more noise than the alarm bell—in fact the train makes so much noise that the alarm cannot be heard one hundred feet from the crossing. The city council will make a great mistake if they adopt these alarm bells. This city is now large enough to demand the protection of her citizens at the railroad crossings, and while the matter is under consideration, let the council see that the people get a danger signal that will be of some benefit to the citizens. Take the case of the late G. G. Tague for instance, Mr. Tague as everyone knows, was hard of hearing, which is a sad misfortune to everyone in that condition. If there had been an alarm bell at the State street crossing when be was struck by a train, the chances are ten to one that he would not have heard it and would have been struck just the same, and there are a great many more people in this city who are afflicted in the same manner as was Mr. Tague. "O. well," says some one, "a deaf person has no business to go on the railroad." Granted that it true, there are more people killed by the cars who have good hearing than those who have not. As a general rule people hard of heariDg are the most cautious.
When the matter comes up before the council next Wednesday night, let them reject these alarm bells and make the railroad company either put in automatic gates or station a flagman at each crossing.
The bells have been tried and rejected at Kokomo and other cities, and the Anderson papers of thia week are kicking vigorously against what are being put in there for trial. The Anderson Herald cites an instance where two men were nearly run down at a crossing where one of these bells is in operation.
This is a matter that demands the immediate attention of our council, and we would say to them, dou'c let the railroad company unload these bells on the city but insist on flagmen or automatic gates.

The Third and Fourth year classes of the High school, just an even two dozen happy boys and gills went to Blue river Park near Morristown for a picnic to-day. The chilly northern blasts were some what cooling to their ardor this morning but the energies and spirits of young men and young ladies rise superior to all kinds of weather and they departed for the Park determined te have a good time anyway. They were accompanied by Miss Herrick and Miss Toms. The grades taught by Prof's Barrett and Evans also went picnicking to-day. The scholars of Mrs. New and of Miss Dove also intended going but the stormy weather scared them out.
The Binford divorce suit which has been in court for the past two days, ended abruptly this morning by the plaintiff through her attorney's Marsh & Cook dismissing the suit. A new suit was immediately filed with the same charges against the defendent as was in the first suit. The reason for the dismissal is that the law requires a separar tion between the parties before the suit is brought. This was not the case in the above named suit, hence the dismissal. The new suit will come up about the 21st of this month. The plantiff will ask a change of venue from the county as the claim is made that the prejudice is too strong here in fv.vor of the defendent.
Yt-sterday Dr. A. J. Smith, wife and son went tu Indianapolis where they visited bis brother Alonzo.

He has simply stored his goods here however, and we predict he will search long before be finds a location, he prefers to Greenfield, where he and his wife have many warm friends who will greatly miss them. We wish them a happy summer's visit and if they decide to locate in Dallas abundant prosperity. There were quite a number ot friends here who bid tnem good bye at the depot on their departure.
