To-morrow.

The Greenfield base bail club is scheduled to play in this city tomorrow afternoon, the game to be called at 3:30 o'clock. This club defeated our team twice last year, and the boys seem determined to win this game. Whitridge, the young Indianapolis twirler, who baa pitched several games for our boys away from home, but who never appeared in the box on the local grounds will be with Noblesville. AS a pitcher, ,he IS far superior to False.

So far this reason, the attendance at the park has been below the average of last year. Let there be a good crowd out. The local team has struck a winning streak, and it will make a hard fight to dangle Greenfield's tcalp to its belt.— Wednesday's Noblesville Lodger.

From the looks of the score—17 to 1— it seems to "a man up a tree" that Noblesville not only dangles the scalp, but also the bead, body and tail.

Tbe bicycle craze has become so general that baggagemen are forced to handle them as baggage, just as they would a trunk.

They leave tbe impression with the passenger that wheels are not carried as baggage, but if given to understand that they must be bandied without extra pay, they have no kick coming—tbe work id done without jurther argument.

GREENFIELD TO CELEBRATE THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

Come Every Body and Have a Good Tim«*.

Last years celebration committee met and it was decided to celebrate the Fourth of July 1895 in handsome style in Greenfield. Last year the celebration was a great success »but this year it will be more so. The program will consist of patriotic addresses and exercises in tbe morning, amusement* in the afternoon and fire works at night. There will be horse racing, bicycle racing, slow mule races, catching greased pig, climbing greased poles etc aud at night a grand and magnificent display of fire works. Everybody come. $82.64 was left over from last year and already a good amount has been subscribed. THE SCHOOL BOARD REORGANIZED.

The Old and Tlie NewTruatee.

Friday night the city School Board net and reorganized. Mr. Stoner the newly elected member in place of Mr. Eph Marsh, met with the board and the organization was perfected as follows: Edwin P. Thayer, Jr., President, D. B. Cooper, Treasurer, and Elmer E. Stoner, Secretary. Mr. Marsh retires after serving three terms or nine years. His relations with the board, with the teachers and with the patrons, have always been cordial and pleasant. He retires with tbe good will of all concerned, who thank him for his efficient management and good stewardship. His successor Elmer E. Stoner is a man well qualified and in every way worthy to succeed Mr. Marsh. He was for nine terms one of Hancock county's most successful teachers. Although in the minority the Republican township trustees on account of his especial fitness twice horored him by making him their nominee for County Superintendent. Niue years ago he engaged in the fire insurance business with tbe old reliable Home of New York as a local agent. His energy, industry and enthusiasm was such that his promotion has been rapid. He rose to district agent to special agent and finally to be State manager for tne Homes Farm Department in this State at a splendid salary,every cent of which he earns and deserves. No grass grows under Elmer Stoner's fetfc, In addition te looking after his insurance business be bas for years tbught one of the largest and best classes iu the M. E. Sunday school. He is a public spirited citizen who believes in progress and improvement. His residence on West Main street is among the handsomest and finest in the city. His seleciion as trustee at this time is specially fitting on account of the new High tchool building. His ten years experience in figuring on insurance losses has made him thoroughly conversant with tbe quality and cost of all kinds of building material and labor. That he is competent and correct in such matters is proven by his high position and rank with his company. The Home Insurance company have confidence in the ability of Mr. Stoner, and so have tbe citizens of Greenfield. He is a man who takes gieat interest in everything he undertakes, and our people may rest assured that he aud the other worthy and competent members of the Board will see to it that Greenfield gets tbe full value of every vioilur expended in the new school house and that we have splendid schools m-xt year.
