THE subject of a cross railroad here has not died out, but is only sleeping Our business men should arouse themselves on this question- Across railroad here would be a wonderful advantage to our city. The Big Four people are disposed to take hold of the matter. It is only five miles from here to Maxwell and six miles south to Fountaintown, where connections could be made with the C. H. & D. railroad. With these connections Greenfield could secure two outlets both north and south and one both east and west, and a number of other connections tbat would be highly advantageous. Agitate the question of the new railroad, an it should run at/least from Maxwell to Fairland.
THE G-. A. R. reunion at Louisville and the Atlanta Exposition are doing much to heal the differences between the North and South. In a banquet speech at Cincinnati recently, Mr. W. A. Hemphill, of the Atlanta Constitution, said:
Since the exposition started I have made so many friends that I do not know whether I am a Yankee from Massachusetts, a Buckeye from Ohio, a Hoosier from Indiana, a Cracker from Georgia or a Creole from Louisiana, but I do know that I am a citizen of this great country.
He also said that when Mrs. Grant visited the exposition many Confederate veterans called on her, and when exGovernor Foraker came—who 'wanted Cleveland impeached for proposing to return the Confederate flags—"I had the pleasure of pining a Confederate badge on his breast." These things may not )ie so very pleasant for the men who did not do much fighting during the war, but have been hard at it since, but it will be welcome news to the old battle-scarred veterans. The men who did the fighting are ready to forgive each other, but neither have much use for the demagogues who both before and since the the war have stired up strife. As Grant, the great commander said, "Let us have peace," and we add, mutual prosperity.
Our Prosperity.
It is every day that some stranger stops in our city and commends us on the improvements being made by our people, and we have learned to believe that no town in Indiana with an equal population is doing more improving than Greenfield. While we have never enjoyed what is called a "Mushroom" boom, yet we have steadily increased in both business and building until now we can« claim a town that is a credit to the state.
During the past year there have been issued by Mayor Duncan seventy permits for the erection of new buildings at a cost of $276,475.
In addition to this he has issued improvement permits to thirty-nine parties at a cost of $2,742, which makes a grand total for one year of $279,217.
In the early spring we anticipate a big building business in Greenfield, and, in fact, several fine buildings are now in the hands of the architects, among which is a handsome new_Methodist church, which will cost not less than $25,000.
Let all lend a helping hand, and 'you will be surprised in a few years to see the prosperity to which Greenfield has grown.

Sewer
Mr. Matthews the contractor for the sewer says that property owners will save themselves much trouble and future annoyance if they will see that the Y's by which private connections are made with the sewer are located in the most convenient place for them, and the exact location noted and marked. The Y's are being put in every 20 feet and a record of them kept by the city engineer, but if that record should be lost or destroyed, people might jj have some expensive searches when tbey went to make sewer connections. With main sewer down from 12 to 16 feet it will be expensive digging at best, and property owneis should therefore be on the sewer when it passes their property and look after the connections. The contractors are disposed to be obliging in the matter and desire that property owners look after their own interests. Do not neglect this when the sewer goes past your lot.

JAMES T. ONSTOTT GOES SOUTH FOB FIVE YEARS.
All on Acconnt of Driving Away Four Bead of Cattle Belonging to Sam Bussell —Haa Been There Before.
November 10, James T. Onstott, J[it seems, went to the farm of Sam Bussell near Bussell's Corner, and drove away four head of fine cattle, taking them to Anderson, where he disposed of them at a nominal figure, but the police there had been advised of the theft and James was soon in durance vile. He was brought here and put in jail to await trial, and when his case was called this morning he plead guilty to the charge of stealing, and it was only a matter of a moment when his honor, Judge Oifutt, read about as follows: The court will fine you the sum of $25, five years in the prison South, and a ^disfranchise of five years.
It did not seem to worry the prisoner in the least, as he is getting used to it, having been sent up once before for forgery, and once for horse "Stealing, but the latter is only rumour. It is to be hoped that this trip will teach* him a lesson that he will not soon forget, and when he returns after his five years sojourn, he will bs abetter citizen.

Black and Griffin, of Greenfield, and Drs Alford and Hervey, of Fortville, and Drs. Nichols and True, of Mohawk. Mr. Cole was along sufferer and his case baffled Dr. Collins and "other physicians who had been called in to see him.

Instant Relief for That Choking Sensation In Catarrh.
A pain in the head is not always headache, quite frequently this pain is caused by an Inflammation that has excited in the passages of the head and the pain is from this inflammation. This is catarrh, and in this country there are few people who are not afflicted with it in some form. The passages sometimes become so clogged from this inflammation that the mucous matter cannot find any egress, and the painful hawking and chocking is simply nature's effort to create a passage. Some poor sufferers cannot sit through their gbreakfast, but are forced to leave the table to relieve the horrible congestion. Instant relief can be obtained when one of these spasms seizes a vietim by snuffing Pretzinger's Catarrh Balm into the nostrils thoroughly almost as if by magic the passages to the head will become open. The cause of this is that this Balm is a salve containing healing camphors that instantly allay the inflamation. Catarrh of the head, where it is of long standing, and where scabs have formed in the mucous membrane, or where the disease has reached the stage where the membrane is rotting and the stench from it is insupportable, requires more than one bottle to effect a cure, but every case of nasal catarrh can be cured by the use of this Balm. A lady residing iu Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, tid that oue bottle of this, that cost her 50 cents, had done her more good than over $200 spent on other preparations. It can be obtained of all druggists, and is oue of tiie simplest and most easily applied remedies indorsed by physicians. Pretziuger Bros., Chemists, Dayton, Ohio, will send small sample on receipt of two-cent stamp.
Notice of Electiou of Trustees.
There will be an election of three trustees of Shiloh Primitive Baptist church at their regular meeting, Saturday, December 7th, 1895, at 2 o'clock p. m., at the Christian church house of Greenfield, Ind. d&w By order of the church.
