How Farmers and Others May Avoid Being Swindled. It will Work Every Time.

The couutry editor, while jhe is probably swindled as often as any one, feels that it is his duty to warn his constituents of all the schemes which come to his knowledge, and he thereby saves his readers thousands of dollars. The following which is clipped from a western paper, shows how you can avoid being swindled if you do conclude to buy from, er make a contract wittfa stranger. "A good way toptcst a swindling scheme is to offer a non-negoMable note when the time conies for tue signing. Mark out the words or order" or "or bearer" which always follows the blank line on which is written the name of the name to whom MOUJ is given. Make it payable to him alone. That saves you all right. If the i.ote is given with a view of a contract which thejother party offers, just write upon the note ahead of your signature the^e words: "The payment of this note is made conditional upon the performance of the contract for which it, is given." Always remember that no matter what oral contract you have, it will have nothing to do with the payment of the note unless it appears on the face of the note, and then you must have witnesses, unless you have a written contract, by whom you can prove your contract. You will never get an agent of any fake or swindling scheme to take a note payable to him or referring on the face to the contract he makes. It is nob always a sign that a swindle isattemptad when a negotiable note is demanded, bnt in regard to dealing -with strangers, it may safely be said that you will win

mine

times where you will lose once by refusing to deal with them or their agents at alL"

Mr. Trees is thinkiug very seriously of moving] his establishment to Greenfield, and he should certainly do so. It would benefit both him and the city. Greenfield offers an inviting field and welcomes all such progressive and enterprising establishments.

IKUSTEB'S TEKBf CUT SHOIiX

The Democratic Machine Works Both Waya.

In a suit involving the taking of office by the township trustees throughout the State, the Supreme Court held in a decision rendered a few days ago, that those elected in 1890 were caosen for a term

four years, and after the first Monday in August, 1894, there was a vacancy ttia. should be filled by an election. 13The court holds that the trustees that wwo elected in November, 1894, were entitled to take their offices immediately, and uo^ wait till August, 1895, as they generally did. Tue effect of the decision is to shorten the term of the trustees by n_arlj a year. Trustees were elected in November, 18^4, but did not take possession until August, 1895. The present trustees, under the decision, will therefore hold office but three years and three montu instead of four years. The Democratic managers in the State work this machine like the negro did his coon trap, :which was set to "catch game a comin' or goin." The Democrats, when in power, extend the length of the terms of the Democratic incumbents in office such as they did within the past three years for municipal and township offices, and then when the Repbulicans pass a similar law as to County Superintendents it is knocked out by the Democratic Supreme Court. This last decision of the Democratic Supreme Court now says that the trustees just out of office, the greater majority of whom were Democrats, held office contrary to law, and that their successors, the greater number of whom are Republicans, did not take their office when they should, and will therefore be cut short about nine months of a four years' term. The Republicans felt that the law was unjust, but past experience hal not led them to hope for relief from the Supreme Court. The fact is,, the Republicans of this State are notsufflciently aggressive. The Democrats, on the other hand, are after everything in sight and asking-in a loud voice for everything they want even if they do not see it. When the Republicans had a chance to secure the trustees|and officials of the various state institutions, they adopted what they believed to be a fair bipartisan plan, which amounted to nothing so far tbe Republicans wers ^cc:icerned, as Gov. Matthews did not act fairly, but appointed trustees who 'left things very much as they found them, and the Democratic officials are still in power.

The Republicans should learn that they cannot hope for fair treatment from the Democratic leaders in this State, and therefore not give up a sure thing when they have it. Let the ^Republicans here adopt the Ohio motto: "Vim, Vigor and Victory."

New Cases In The Circuit Conrt.

Benton Robb, of McCordsville, has brought suit against Henry Davidson of that place for $3,000 damages. He charges Davidson with having seduced his daughter, May Robb. At the last term of court Mr. Davidson was the defendant in a bastardy suit brought by May Robb,"but the jury found him not guilty. Robb is represented by Felt & Jackson and Davidson by Marsh & Cook.

Ira S. Sage has brought suit for di vorce against his wife, Fpnnie" C. Sage, and charges her with cruel treatment etc. Spencer & Binford and R. A. Black are his attorneys.

Henry 3now administrator |of the estate of B. A. Riley deceased, has petitioned the court for an order to sell real estate. His attorneys are Marsh &^|Cook.

Albert G. Anderson, through his attorney, James F. Reed, has brought a suit for slander against Edward Wiggins. He says Wiggins said of him, Anderson, "he is a thief and I can prove it inside of three hours." Mr. Anderson estimates the damage to his character at $1,500 and asks judgement for the same.

The Masonic Hall Under Mew Management

Nelson Bradley and Ephraim Marsh, who gave $5,060 for the Masonic Hall, have received their deeds for the same, and it is now under their management. Mr. Will A. Hough will have charge of the Opera House part of the building and he informed the REPUBLICAN that he proposes to secure the best attractions that can be obtained for a city of this size. The Hall under the lodge management, was never pushed as it will be by men who are personally and directly interested in making the theatrical part a leading feature. Mr. Hough is already ia correspondence with some good companies and our citizens may rest assured that the coming season will see the finest line of companies ever in Greenfield. Such companies will pay. There has been a surfeit of the too common kind.

Open On Halloween.

There having been considerable devilment on previous Halloweens, Sheriff Pauley will be prepared to keep open house for all who get too gay on the Halloween occasion. It will be an informal affair as invitations will not be extended until that occasion, when they will be delivered by City Marshal Scott or some of our policemen. Those invited Will go and don't you forget it.
