GREENFIELD, INDIANA, THURSDAY, OCT. 17 1895s ONE DOLLAR PEE YEAR.

There has been a theatrical ^company organized in Greenfield. -They will play "The Old Homestead" which is a fine play and should be well attend by the people of Greenfield, the receipts of which go to the building of the new Christian church. There are about 30 actors in all and they rehearse three times a week and will have the play before the public in three we»*ks. The actors are under the management of Mr. Cnyler who was an actor for many years and hos lad mu^h experience in this liue. v.

The boy who has the freedom of the streets after nightfall, without business or permission of his parents, is cultivating a dangerous habit. Any place where a boy has no business is a dangerous place for him, be it on the streets, in tbe stores or livery barns. A boy that is all right will prefer his home, friends, books and newspapers to the low class found upon the streets. Business men of all kinds look upon boy loafers as the "dead beats" of the future. Boys, if you will adopt the right habit while boys, you will in manhood be useful to the world, will be a source of comfort to your parents and then you will have the satisfaction*of looking back upon a well spent life.—Exchange.

There was a great excitement on the streets about 12:30 this afternoon caused by the burning of some old boxes and barrels in the rear of Frank Hammel's china store. Unknown person set fire to some paper which blew into some boxes that were full of excelsior. The fire alarm was sent in and as the fire department came through the alley between.North and Main streets they ran into a spring wagon which was standing in the way and completely demolished it. This should be a warning to persons who hear the fire wagon coming to get out of the way and not to leave their vehicles standing in narrow alleys There was not much damage done but if the fire department had not come to ih rescue great damage might have been done.

THE PAN HANDLE NURSERIES

AKES MUCH LARGER THAN MOST I'EOPLB IMAGINE: THEY |AKK.

•I. K. Henby, After Devottng£Eiglit Years Work to This Nursery, Has Made It One of The Best In Indiana.

A reporter of the REPUBLICAN went down to the Pan Handle nursery of J. K. Henby this morning, and was taken all over the farm by Mr. Henby. The nursery is located about mile Southeast of this city and contains a little more than 76 acres.

Mr. Henby bought this farm about eight years ago, and when he commenced putting out fruit, the groundJ*was in a very bad state of cultivation. Mr. Henby paid oat lots of money in getting the ground in the proper condition. He now has the place in fine repair, both as to cultivating and also in the way of im provments. At the present time he has a large force of fruit tree agents packing goods, for their fall delivery, and it it* astonishing to see the number of trees that are ready for shipment. The large number of trees taken out leave a big hole in his first-class trees for this year, but he has many thousand trees and vines that will be first-class for next year. He has several blocks of apple trees that contain more than 15,000 trees that will be ready for delivery next year. Besides this he has thousands of peach, apple, pear, cherry and shade trees. It would be impossible for us to enumerate the different varieties of trees he has. He also has a great number of raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, currants, gooseberries, etc., which he has tried and found to be first-class in every particu lar. The 76 acres is laid out in such a manner that Mr. Henby knows where every variety and kind is located. In fact it is a model nursery, and it will well pay anyone to visit it, for it is a place one don't see very often.

As we have said, Mr. Henby has put lots of money in the place. For five years he manured and tended the place while he was living in this city on Walnut street. About three years ago he built a beautiful house on the place and has since resided there. He now uses a gas pump to furnish water for his farm, and afterwards uses the same gas for healing purposes. He has lately added an office to his residence so that it will be more convenient for his agents and patrons. Taking the nursery altogether, it is one thatvwould do credit to a much larger city than Greenfield. Mr. Henby is to be congratulated on his venture as a fruit tree grower, for he has certainly achieved a great success. His son Elijah, is now associated wi«h him in this business, and we predict for the firm of Henby & Son a brilliant future. The
