Very little could be done to make Greenfield a more substantial little county seat city, and desirable place in which to reside. She is the home of as contented class Of people as can be found anywhere,
does not compare so favorably with some other cities of Indiana. And that condition is largely due to the lact that her people do not make the effort to bring business to Greenfield that some other cities of her size do. Some business men push their business vigorously and go out to ihe boundary lines where there is trade that can go to one business center just as conveniently as to another. They seek to of-
very appropriate re-jfer inducements which will bring bride, who is a well such business to Greenfield, but there are a great many business men Greenfield who are content with the business they have, and do not make any special effort for more. While thai indicates a good individual jjusiness, at the same time it lacks the incentive which makes a nve, wide-awake business city. Greenfield could be just as lively a city as could be found in her class in Indiana. She has her strong natural advantages, and if her citizens were willing to make the effort they could make Greenfieid a city which would be the talk of the stale. The fact that they do effort is positive

action was instituted, the population of our city could be greatly increased. The double tracking of the Pennsylvania railroad, and the putting on of suburban trains the paving of the National Road would do much along the line of attracting desirable residents to Greenfield. Many traveling men live here, and many others have said they would like to live in Greenfield if there were small modern homes or apartment houses, with modern improvements. It seems strange that men with capital, seeing the demand for small houses, with furnace and bath, do not build such, houses. Cottages could be purchased cheap furnace, bath and a neat veranda would make them desirable homes for traveling men, and they would "bring that class of men from Indianapolis to Greenfield. Tney 'would pay a price which won id yield good returns on the investment. The few modern apartment houses in this city have
are constantly occupied, while many other tenant houses are empty.
Cities, like people, are what they make themselves. Greenfield can continue a substantial, beautiful, quiet home city, or she can add to this greatly increased population and business. It is with her people to make her what they want her to be. United, harmonious, vigorous effort will make her a wideawake business center. She is good as she is, but she could be made the best in her class if her people want to make her so.

Mayor Johnson Says Drunks Who Have Money Must Spend it To Get Out of Town.
Mayor Johnson Wednesday sent John Wisehart back to his home at Fortville. after releasing him from jail. When arrested for intoxication, Wisehart had considerable money and a part of this was used to buy him a ticket to his home and the city marshal was sent with him to the station to see that he boarded the car.
Mayor Johnson said today that moneyed drunks or bums would find the sledding hard here, as he did not propose to put up with them or put the public to the expense of feeding them longer than was necessary. He said men arrested for drunk who had money must spend it to get to their homes or away from town. Mayor Johnson has delivered some pointed and earnest lectures to lav.- violators that should work to their good in the future.
May Hold Ilome-Coming Reunion. The new Spiceland Academy building is nearing completion and now there is talk and plans being made favoring a reunion, not only of former students of the academy, but former residents of Spiceland and vicinity. There is a vast army of students of Spiceland, who have attended that institution within the past 25 or 30 years, and many of these have been asking when thero would be another reunion, and it is believed that with early action, in the appointment of proper committees, one of the most notable gatherings ever held in Eastern Indiana can be held there during the coming summer. The new building will be ready for occupancy at least a portion of the spring and summer term, and it is believed by many that a home-coming and reunion during commencement week in June would be hailed with delight by hundreds of former Spicelanders, and students of the academy.—Knightstown Banner.
