If the plans for the new Court House whlce were adopted last Saturday by the County Commissioners, are a sample of what the building will be when completed, we can assure our readers that the structure will be a "thing of beauty and joy forever." The size of the buildind will be 110x120 feet. The basement will be used Jfor several purposes also having rooms for rent. The first floor will be used for offices. Each office is large and roomy. Each officer will also have a private office, something which is greatly needed. The plan of the second floor is very convenienty arranged and gives plenty of room for all persons connected with court business. The seating capacity of the court room proper is 400. There is also a small court room which can be used for cases do not draw a large crowd.
The architects, Wing & Mahurin, have taken great pains to have everything convenient and when the court house is complete it will be a great credit to the city and county. These architects have a wide reputation in their business, and have made plans for some of the finest buildings in the State. The plans are at the Auditor's office and can be inspected by all whs desire. We have heard very little complaint on account of the building of the new court house. And why should there be any? Hancock county has become one of the first counties in the State and needs a court house that will be in harmony with the other new buildings that are being erected. Besides, this oounty Is practically out of debt, and if she can ever afford a new building, now is the time to build one. Her outstanding debt is but $7,500, on bridge bonds, and the regular taxes for this year will more than pay these bonds. W« believe the commissioners have taken the right course in the matter of having a new county court house, and when erected, it will be a monument to them that will live in years to come.
HAS RECEIVED A CALL.
Eld. W. M. Gard, of Knightstown, Receives a Call From The Christian Church Here*
The Christian church of this city, being without a pastor, sent an invitation to Eld. W. M. Gard, of Knightstown, to come over Sunday and preach for the congregation here. He came and seems to have given entire satisfaceion. So much so that the officers of the church have concluded to offer him the pastorate here. Elder Gard will probably accept the offer, as his time at Knightstown expires the first of_November. Elder Gard is a deep thinker and his sermons here are highly spoken of. He has been with the Knightstown church for the past three years, and has built the church up from a handfull of members to a congregation up in the hundreds. Should he conclude to take the offer of this church he will probably commence his work here about the second Sunday in November. Should he come, we extend the hand of fellowship to him and hope that his work in Greenfield will be greatly blessed.

There is a new scheme in pactice for swindling the farmers and other people of the country. Word ©f a successful working of it was received Saturday by the police authorities at Indianapolis. An ageut of a music house induced the farmer, whose name was not given out, to buy a piano, agreeing to take his notes at 8 per cent, in three several payments. The notes were executed, and a day or two after the same agent called on the farmer and reported that his house had concluded to reduce its interest rate from 8 to 6 per cent., and that it was not yet loo L,..e io» tue pufun&ser of the piano to have the benefit ol the reduction. The farmer was pleased with the idea, and, receiving back his three 8-p:r-cent. notes, as he supposed, he signed new ones at 6 per cent, and destroyed the notes delivered to him. Thc-se notes however, were forgeries, and later the farmer found that there were two sets of note3 against.him for the same piano. The notes were disposed of iu Dduville, 111. The agent has disappeared. Will the people of this country never learn to quit signing notes or other papers presented by srrangers? It tennis not. Hardiy a day passes, 'bub what we read of some smooth individual "working" an inuocent person. The newspapers are f.111 of such pranks

Tlio McLouglillti Case Decltiil,
The case of Rolla McLaughin, who was refused a license to sell liquor by the County Commissioners at their last term and which was appealed to the Circuit Court, was decided by Judge Offutt Monday. He held that names on a petition could be withdrawn any time before the Commissioners met in their regular [session to transact business. As about forty names were withdrawn from the petition, it did not leave a» majority of the names of the voters on the remonstrance, therefore McLaughlin was granted license. w-
