George L. Knox and wife, of Indian apolts, are in the city. Mr. Knox and family formerly lived here, and his friends are always glad to meet him.

Edward Bus-ell accidentally threw a chunk of wood in front of the traction engine of John C. Moore, near Palestine, while it was in motion, and in some manner Mr. Moore had one of his hands badly mashed.

Mike Webb received a ery painful accident yesterday afternoon from Will Bohm Will saw a dog and picked up a piece of iron an 1 threw at the animal and hit Mr Webb iu the neck. He is in very critical condition at present.

If the street*. 3t a to arn aro cleanfit •hows the citizens are enlerpr.slng and take an interest in the town. Hence, strangers are more easily induced to locate and invest money than 'if there are mo good sidewalks and the streets are full of garbage.

We netice in the Long Beach (CaL) Eye that W. P. Wilson was elected as AssistantJSuperintendent of the Presbyterian church at that place, and his son Hugh was selected as Secretary. Mr. Wilson|and his son are both Christian gentlemen and were a fewer of strength to the Presbyterian church while they were residents ot Greenfield.

Reports from different Methodist conferences.held in allfparts of the country ghow that the.vcte is overwhelmingly in favorj of admitting women to the general conference. The omen'are the most en-

thusiastic church workers and many a church debt has been raised through their efforts.& Of course they should be entitled to representation.

A. country girl brought in some nice ehickens a few days ago. They were alive and-had their feet tied together to prevent their escape. Placing them on the counter of one of our stores, the polite cierk asked, in blunt tones: ''Are you sure, Miss, they* will lay there?" •'Oh no, sir," sh«? stammered, ''they are all roosters." The clerk wtnt 6ut in the back yardjto blush.

Every. gas cocsutner in Greenfield should carefully look over ail gas pipes in his building and make sure that they are secure and well joined before winter is fully upon'us. If they swag or are loose in any way, or badly rusted, they should be attended to at once. Don't wait until the weather is twenty degrees below zero and then, if your service is short, "cues" the gas company. Ten chances to one the fault will be in your pipes.

This afternoon the corner atonerof the mew Masonic Temple was put inj position with appropriate ceremonies. At 2 p. m. the Masonic lodge,'headed by the baud, marched from their hull to their new temple. Many visiting Jbrethren were here, and the crowd at the new hall was large. The«vocal music was furnished by Dr. Sparks, JPrank Rhoadarmer and Wiley Walker. After the laying of.jthe stone,"Hon. FrankJG. Gavin, past grand master, delivered an address, which was higbjy appreciated by the audience. After another muefcal selection, the audience was dismissed by Rey. M. E. Nethercut of the M. E. church.

Parties were in the city yesterday rep-resenting-lBottle manufacturing interest at Philadelphia, Pet.n., and were looking over the Eollowegg plant and surroundings with a view of buying it, iind if the trade can be effected, they will enlarge the plant here euflicieut to employ 600 people. Thoy say that they have to burn coal uud c£Qi .o compote with actories in the samebuhii tss the gas belt. You may expsct to h-iar mote of this matter in a few day?, and if it is necessary for our people to do anything ou their part to secr.te this business, that, they will do it at once. We are making more valuable improvement at the present than any city of the size iu the gas belt, and have gained a good reputation abroad. Let us do what we can to hold it and keep the ball rollirg.

Girls will please bear in mind that next yea/ will be the last leap year of the century, and another will not occur until

.,.«- ,»•

1904.

The'year 1900 will not be a leap year. This unusual occurrence is due to the fact that the addition of one day to each fourth year more than makes the presumed deficiency in the calender year, -and consequently the world is constantly losing time, as a watch loses it, and therefore there was danger that in the course of a fsw thousand years the Fourth of July would come on Christmas.

Mr. Shumway and Mr. Herron withdrew their names from the contract for building the new hotel, on tbe grounds that the corporation would not give the required bond, after they bad given a $40,000 bond. Mr. Clint and Geo. Parker will continue to build the building without the bond of the stockholders.

An exchange says that a man went to sleep the other night and dreamed he was in a city entirely governed by women. It was scrupulously clean and while wandering around saw three men arrested for spitting on the sidewalk. A garbage box at the rear end of each lot was hand-painted and tied with a blue ribbon. Mail boxes were decorated with drawn work and fire plugs had cushioned seats on top of them. Sweet peas were climbing over the electric light poles and handpainted cuspidor occupied a prominent place on every corner. There was no busi ness, not a team being allowed to pass up or down the streets for fear of making dust. The town was deserted save for the police-women who marched up and down to see that no man. with dirty shoes stepped into the town.

A Good Suggention.

Jeff Patterson has on exhibiiion at his bicycle store an exhibit of a number of a varieties of fine apples. One ofjthe number is a freak, being a double apple, possessing two distinct stems, also two ^distinct ^blossom ends. It is unlike most freaks of this kind, for.' the surface is perfectly smooth where it has grown together. Mr. Patterson has ."made horticulture a study for several years and has been experimenting on various methods for the Improvement of (the growing of fruit. In the past season he has been spraying his fruit treesjwith London Purple. As a result of his labor his apples are free from worms and knots. He advises all fruit growers to use London Purple or a similar preparation to protect the trees from insects.

Malij Saturday. A man namecf Cash Price died in Hutchinson, Kans., last Week. ffenrv Newby and wife, of Fortville, ere here yesterday visiting friends.

Mrs. Clay Willett, of Indianapolis, is viming J. R. Boyd and family this week. If every body who had wheels could ride them, but few people would have to walk.

Th Pie Social given by the Epworth League at the1M. E Parsonage las' night was a grand success. A large crowd was present. The house was beautifully decorated with autumn leaves and flowers. Pie and coffee were freely Indulged in until late hour. A splendid program was rendered. The violin solos by Prof. Mack and Sam Offutt were very fine. Piano solos were well rendered by MissesjtJessie Scott, Gertrude Larrimore and Carrie Pierce. A vocal duet wasggiven by Miss Jennie Duncan aud Mrs. Nethercuf. Recitations were given by Katie Marshall, Annie Garrison and Ruth Secrest. Quite a nice sum was realized from the entertainment.

THERE is "no chance for a poor man" any more in this country who "makes his living with his hands" by pummuling some other fellow in the prize ring. Texas has followed the example of most other states and barred against Corbett and Fitzsimmon8. In all this broad land there is not a safe place for them to pull off the $reat fight—unless it would be Greenfield, and then Marshal Jeff Patterson would have to be bound, gagged and sat upon while the fun lasted—Morristown Sun.

Now, Mr. Sun, we don't know whether you are the original Rip Van Winkle or not, but "it is evident from the above clipping that you have been taking a prolonged "nap." Mr. Patterson has not been eur City Marshal for more than a year, and if he were, we are confident that even a small prize fight could not be pulled off io this city. Oar present City Marshal is Emery Soott, and we will give you a pointer that even a plain drunk never gets away from him, let alone anything in the shape of a fight. Let the Sun, of Morristown, raise up a little earlier /in the morning ani learn who the city officers of her eloae neighbor are.

The eighth district convention of the W. R. C. of Indiana met in this city Thursday bylnvitatlon of theDunbar Cor^s and were entertained by them at the I. 0| O. F. hall. There were present one hundred and fourteen visiting members. The President. Mrs. Maggie Webb ^introduced Mrs. Miller, of Chapman Corps, of lndianapols who presided during the day. Mrc. Agnes Heltt, National Inspector was pret? ~ent and entertained the convention with a short talk, Mrs. Nettie Ransford, of Indianapolis tin a very eloquent plea for assistance towards furnishing the cottages at the new Soldiers' and Sailors' Home which is to be built at Lafayette. This home will be a pleasant refuge for all indigent soldiers and sailors. Several of the corps present obligated themselves to each provide everything necessary to comfortably furnish a cottage. Dunbar Corps of this city has but a small body of members but will do all in its power to help along with a noble enterprise. Later on an entertainment will doubtless be given for this purpose which should encouraged by every local citizen of Greenfield and surrounding country. Mrs. Elbert Tyner, of Walnut street, this city, was selected to represent the 8th district at the National Convention to be held at St. Paul, Minnesota, next September. At 7 o'colock p. m. a camp fire was held at the hall which proved very entertaining and standing room was at a premium. Captain Harris read a very beautiful original poem. Little Misses Helen Scott and Anna Garrison pleasantly entertained those present with a whistling solo and a recitation. VMrs. Eugen Woods and Mrs. Manning gave recitations in pantomine which were heartily encored. George Knote, of Indianapolie, teing present and called upon for remarks responded in a very cheerful and happy manner. Curry's Orchestra fnralshed some excellent music. The convention adjourned for an hour in the afternoon to attend the laying of the corner stone of the Masonic Temple.

The visiting ladies warmley expressed themselves as having been delightfully entertiained throughout the entire day and were enthusiastic in their praise of our beautiful little city and the excellent menue served them by M. K. Cummins. After an enjoyable day they, left on the 9:25 train for the west.

A Narrrow JSucape.

Thursday as Fred Baily was going to school at the South building, he jumped on a freight train and was riding on top of a car, just as he was steping from one car to another the cars parted aud jFred fell to the track below, and was laying across the rails. A brakeman happened to be near and caught Fred and pulled him from in front of the moving train. Had the brakeman not been close at hand, the chances are that Fred would have been killed, and probably the railroad company would have had a damage suit on its hands, and yet they would have been no wise in the fault. It is a fact that a number of young* boys are in the habit of climbing on trains while they are in motion, and it is a great wonder that more of them are not injured. Parents, warn your boys and girls to keep off of the railroad.
