REPUBLICAN AND EVENING TRIB

UNE SOLD.

May 24th, 1SS8, I purchased of Wm. R. Hough and Nelson Bradley, the Greenfield REPUBLICAN and have been editor and proprietor of the same until today, when I sold the same to 'Newton R. Spencer. For nearly twcnty-iwo years I have enjoyed pleasant liuniness relations -with the citizens of Hancock and adjoining counties. They have given me and mine cordial, generous and kindly

given the largest circulation of any country papers in Indiana, according co the population of the counties in which they have been published.

In the many years I have done business with the people of Hancock county, 1 have met practically i: 11 of them, know their faces and know their names, and those together with their many acts of kindness, will be indelibly impressed upon my mind. I would like to name a large number and thank you personally for all you have done for me, but they are so many I refrain, just remember I thank one and all and will ever cherish you and yours in my memory.

I want to say that while I have always run Republican papers without deviation or shadow of turning and had the unstinted support of that party, at the same time I have enjoyed the friendship and patronage of thousands of broad-minded liberal Democrats. For high-grade, gentlemanly politicians and good citizens, both Republicans and Democrats, there are none better to be found than right here in old Hancock.

To every citizen of the county abundant success and prosperity and my best wishes shall always be with you and yours.

Very sincerely your friend, WALTER S. MONTGOMERY.

HON. GFORCE B. LOCK WOOD, Editor of the Marion Chronicle read an article before the Republican Editorial Association on Subsidized Centralization. It was approved by all present, but the following from the Indianapolis Star shows that that paper does not approve of Mr. Lockwood's re marks. "Mr. Lockwood made the point that the postage rates on local publications are high enough.—News item. "Inasmuch as journals like the Marion Chronicle are carried absolutely free in theirjhome counties, the color nel's estimate is conservative, unless it could be maintained that the government should pay the country editor a cash bonus in addition to the free service."

The Editor of the Star is evidently not up on the Postal Rules and regulations or ho would not have said that the Marion Chronicle and such journals were carried absolutely free in their home counties. Such is, not the case. Where a paper is pub^ lished in a city where there is a free city delivery of mail, papers published in that city are charged the regular rates by the pound on all papers sent outside of the county and also on all

papers delivered in the city and on rural routes running out from that city. The Chronicle and &11 other papers of that class probably pay postage at the regular rates on about two thirds or more of its regular mail subscription list. Mr. Lockwood's contention was that papers and magazines should not be hauled here from Augusta, Maine, New York City, Philadelphia £or San Francisco over the railroad to a city, brought from the depot to the postoffice and then be charged no more than were local papers that had no railroad haul, but were delivered free to the postoffice by the publishers. No, Mr. Star Editor the CountryjEditor and .the Country Merchant want nothing more than what is fair and right, and we will stand up for equal rights and a fair chance and are decidedly opposed to this "Subsidy of Centralization'

practiced by the ment.

II VALENTINE PM

The Misses Eva and Katherine Pusey

Entertained Handsomely—Many

Pretty Features in the Program.

The Misses Eva and Katherine Pusey, of Blue River township, entertained about forty friends at a valentine party Tuesday evening in a very happy manner. Everywhere, in the reception room, dining room, parlor, up and down stairs, were beautiful decorations of valentines, tokens of all kinds, colors and discriptions. At the beginning of the evening, partners were chosen by matching post cards and then each couple was given a bottle to dress up as a doll with a prize as the incentive to neat work. Mabel Newsom and Elton Jessup won the prize.

A proposing contest was probably the most interesting feature of the program and created fun for everyone. Refreshments were served in two courses, the first being, pressed chicken sandwiches, salad, olives and pickles and the second punch and cake.

The Misses Pusey certainly proved themselves to be delightful entertainers as every guest pronounced the evening a perfect one. The guests from a distance were, Misses lone Morris, Mabel and Edna Newsom, of Columbus, Ind., Wayne White, of Knightstown, and Ada Brown, of Walnut Ridge.

RECEIPTS

in a Few Years From Early Day.

Richard Hackleman, father of Lemuel Hackleman, of Blueriver township, and grandfather of Cicero Newhouse, is the possessor of two old tax receipts, one issued in 1S23 by County Treasurer N. M. Martz and one in 1841 by County Treasurer A. F. Hart.

they are made out, being on slips of paper about half an inch wide. The other is the fact that they shew the rapid increase in the valuation and taxes of real estate.

Both receipts are for the full amount of taxes for the year on a 240 acre farm. In 1823 the amount was §1.50 in 1841 or eighteen years later, the amount of taxes on the same property was $16.73 or an increase of almost a dollar a year. And the increase has never ceased, but goes steadily on year by year, as the tax duplicates show.

Extra good prices paid for butter at Krutsingers' grocery, Old Masonic Hall. Lowest prices on meats and groceries.

Club Elects Officers.

A meeting of the Greenfield Motor Cycle Club was held Monday night and the following officers were elected:

Berlin Dieter, president Fritz Bidgood, vice president Elba Jacobs, secretary Fred Carson, treasurer A. A. Gappen, captain Chas. Barrett, 1st lieutenant Ray Denney, official photographer.

The purpose of this club is to promote the sport of motor cycling around this city and to make tours of the country during the summer.

They have not secured club rooms as yet, but will do so soon.

Unexpected Wedding.

Shirley News— Noah Creekmore and Miss Lena Boyer slipped away together Tuesday afternoon, went to Greenfield got a license, and were married, and returned home the same evening. There was general surprise when they announced their wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Creekmore are staying for the present with the bridegroom's brother, Chas. Creekmore in the western part of town.

A Boat Load of Florida Hogs.

Tom'Smith, the popular meat-cut-ter, has received a postcard from W. C. Dudding, of St. Petersburg, Fla. Mr. Dudding says that he has shipped his friend, Lee C. Thayer, a boat load of fine Florida hogs, irreverently called razor backs by some. Mr. Dudding had heard of the meat boycott and did not want any of his friends to suffer. We fear that this boat has been ice bound as it has not arrived yet.
