The majority of the people of Greenfield are thoroghly disgusted with the few "knockers" of the town. Greenfield has been dnll for sometime, but she is no duller than any other town of her size in the state that has no factories in operation. In fact she is doing more business, so some traveling men report, than other towns of her size in Central Indiana, "which have factories. A Greenfield traveling man was in the county seat Of an adjoining county twice this week, which has a population of 300 jmore than Greenfield and, a factory town too, and he says it is duller than Greenfield, and not nearly so nice a town, either in the business or residence portions. Greenfield is a, nice substantial little city notwithstanding her knockers, and she will continue to be in spite of them. The -worst knockers in Greenfield could & fete rtr*
v.1
not be induced to leave the town. They are fixtures, here to stay, and that fact shows that they are not sincere. One would naturally expect a discontented, complaining citizen who could not see any good in his home town, and who saw the greatest attraction in every other town, to "shake the dust" of his home town from his feet and depart, but they never think of leaving. There are however a host of pushing enterprising men in town who are determined to put new life into the city and they will succeed. We expect to see
Greenfield merchants doing more business from this time on than ever was done in this city heretofore.
NEWS ITEMS.
In order to secure pnblication, all persons sending news items to the Reporter should sign their name to the same. Many items are unsigned and for that reason if there is any suspicion as to the correctness of them, the management feels warranted in cutting them out. The management of the Reporter wants news by phone and mail, but in order that it may be ascertained who is authority for the news, it is required that names be signed. Most of the news sent to the office is alright, but occasionally misrepresentations are sent which offends some one. We want all the news and are glad to get it, but we want it correct. If an item of news is alright, it will not hurt anyone to sign their name. The name will not be printed, it serves only as a guarantee that the item is not erroneous.
Most of the Greenfield merchants have been advertising some remarkable bargains this week. They are offering some wonderful values for the money, and the shopping people of Hancock and adjoining counties will do well to visit the Greenfield stores for season bargains in all lines of merchandise. There is not an advertising firm in Greenfield that is not offering special inducement to the trade uo come to Greenfield. Now is the time to secure season bargains right at home, equal to anything offered by merchants anywhere. Greenfield merchants are after the trade now as never before. See them because they have just what you want. Their stocks of merchandise are large and exceptionally complete for the time of year and they must be disposed of to make room for fall goods. Do your Saturday trading at Greenfield.
The presence of a big crowd of people in Greenfield Thursday, right in the midst of harvest, brought here by advertising shows clearly what can be done by the use of printers ink and shows also that Greenfield is not simply a "Saturday town." Greenfield is just like any other town or city of its size. It can get a crowd any day if the business men will use the proper means to attract and induce the people to come. If they do not want a Saturday town they can make Greenfield a Monday or •Wednesday town. Many people come to town Saturday anyway, so if an every day town is wanted advertise it and the people will come.
John Ward Walker and Harry G. Strickland, candidates for the legislature, were both invited to attend the anti-saloon league meeting at the U. B. church last Sunday evening, Mr. Walker promised those in charge of the meeting that he would go, and he did go. While he did not attempt to make a speech, he did say that he was in hearty sympathy with all that the speaker of the evening had said, and that he was opposed to every attempt to repeal the option law. Mr. Walker has positive views on temperance and is willing for the people and voters of Hancock county to know where he stands.
•A-. V. Rumler, who died at his nice country home north of Mohawk Monday, was a well known citizen of Buckcreek township and a civil war veteran. After the close of the war he literally hewed a nice farm out of the original Indiana forest. It was a great pleasure for him and as he grew older to tell of how he worked to clear and drain his farm from a forest and swamp to fertile fields and meadows. Mr. Rumler was a good citizen and highly respect^ by a
large circle of friends and acquaint-
There never was a time in polities when the people were so determined to know the exact position of their candidates for office as they are now. They are not talking so much about bolting party as they are talking about voting for men indiscriminately who represent what the voter -wants. Very few voters are now going to vote blindly, neither are they going to be led up to the polls, nor be driven. They know what they want and they are going to vote for it.
ADVERTISE.
If strangers had visited Greenfield Thursday and had gone to the Mill End Sale at the Co-operative Store they would have thought they were in the New store at Indianapolis. The first sale of the new store proves that people can be brought to Greenfield and when they are brought everybody is benefited. Moral—Advertise. The Reporter is a good medium through which to reach the people.
Now is a good time to start in to push for Greenfield business. Within a month it is expected to have an auto traction connection making trips every hour between Greenfield and Maxwell. This will give the north aud northeast part of the county a direct connection with this city. Get the people of those sections to come to Greenfield bv auto line.
The corn crop of Hancock county is very promising. If nothing unforseen happens to it, it will be one of the largest in the history of the county. If the farmers of Hancock, could compare their prospects for corn with that general corn crop in the hill clay land, they woul appreciate how fortunate they are.
Johnson county, Indiana, has proved its place at the head of the counties of the State in raising corn. It now is reported to be at the head this year in wheat and oats. Is her superiority in her farmers or her soil, or both?
The progressives held their own in the Ohio Republican State Convention Wednesday.
