A VERY good way to start the new year right is for every citizen to begin a good healthy boom for Greenfield. We should grow and keep on growing during 1910. With no knockers and every body talking and working for Greenfield there is no limit to our possibilities for the next year. Greenfield first, last and all the time and Greenfield will grow.

THE Honorable Ora Myers, the new Mayor of Greenfield, who assumed the duties and responsibilities of that office by the will of a majority of the voters at 12 o'clock Monday, stands for law enforcement and temperance. He was elected on those issues and in voting for him the people showed their confidence in him and the things he represented. In choosing Wm. Shumway for city marshal, Mr. Myers chose a man who is known to be absolutely temperate and an untiring worker for the cause of temperance as was Mr. Myers in all the recent campaigns. We do not think

the people's confidence in Mr. Myers, his platform and ability to administer accidents occurred at switches, the affairs of the city, has been misplaced. On the contrary we are confident that his administration will be an honor to himself and a credit to the citv and those who voted for him.

THE FEAST OF BELSHAZZAR.

In the days of old when the "400" of the great city of Babylon gathered at the invitation of King Belshazzar and engaged in their festivities and wild orgies, destruction came upon the city. In the midst of the feast a hand appeared upon the wall and traced these words: '"Mene, Mene, Tekel Upharsin," which being interpreted read "Thou art weighed in the balances and found wanting," and the same night the city was destroyed. Last Friday night equally as wild bunches gathered in the dining rooms of some of the big hotels and cafes of New York and Chicago and champagne flowed like water. In New York it is

i00,uu0 pernor ilong the "Great White Way" spent $2,000,000 or S20.00 each for eats and drinks, mostly drinks. In Chicago §500,000 was spent. Many Americans are certainly going a very fast pace and such a gait kept up by any considerable member of the people will bring ruin and destruction in its path ruin physically, mentally and morally. Americans would do well to consider and ponder upon the mystic words: "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin," and think of their meaning.

The victims of Saturday afternoon's wreck on the T. H., I. & E. line, are getting along as well as could be expected.

The east bound car, in charge of Charles Byers and W. R. Dudding, of this city, had started to switch for the west bound car, in charge of Claud Roland and Perry Ruggles, and the front of the car was about two feet on the side track when the collision occurred.

Telephone calls were sent to this city for physicians and a relief car ami four physicians responded. They were Drs. C. K. Bruner, E. R. Sisson, F. W. Cregor and Milo Gibbs. Dr. T. J.
