grades that I was compelled to have a lot of them made up in midwinter. A great many ladies prefer for nice wear in cold weather the Oxford ties with cloth overgaiters to turn boots. They claim that they are both warmer and neater. In either case I am prepared to supply your wants. Our Oxfords are nice, and you will say so when you see them, and, still better, they nave been carefully selected with reference to their fitting qualities. If your children’s shoes have not been giving satisfactory wear buy the next pair for them of us and yon will find something to your interest. I don’t say that one pair of our boys’ shoes will outwear two pairs that you get elsewhere, but you will
sav so when you try them.
My store is about midway of the south side of the square and it is headquarters for anything in the shoe line. P. R. CHRISTIE.

He Was Here.
Hon Geo. W. Cooper was here on Wednesday, coming in the morning and departing in the evening. Many local Democrats interviewed him He is of opinion that all things will work together for Democratic good and the good of the whole people; the new tariff measure, he is convinced, will become law in a short time, and there will be no serious division of sentiment in the Democratic party
for a half century yet. Andy Freeman, colored, was in durance vile, Monday, for a short time, charged with hooking a goose, but was afterwards allowed to depart from the hastile, as the charge could not be proven. The subject of the lecture by President Swain, of the Slate University, at Meharry Hall, Sunday afternoon, was “The Attitude of Scientific Men to Religion and Immortality.” There was a large audience out to hear him. The Greeks of the University are arranging to give a “Social Hop” at Baker & Browning’s Hall, on the night of Friday, Dec. 8. From present report the affair is to be most elegant in all its appointments, and society is all aglow in anticipation thereof. A practice is in vogue at the Greencastle public schools that should be abolished and that right speedily. Recently drawing has been introduced as a branch of education; the trustees furnish the pencils therefor; they are distributed amongst the pupils at the beginning of each lesson and collecte d at its close. The system is detrimental to good health. Patting lead pencils in the mouth is a very common habit, and diphtheria and other diseases are often transmitted in this
way.
The sharpers who live by their wits and off of the earnings ot other people are still abroad in the lan d. The innocent grapevine is made a vehicle for “doing” the unsuspecting. A slick individual calls upon a prosperous farmer and represents himself to be the authorized agent of a large nursery, dealing exclusively In grapevines. He offers to start the farmer in the grape industry and signs a contract to take all the grapes raised in the next ten years at a big price, provided, of course, the farmer buys all the plants from him. He usually sells a large bill of vines and accepts a cash payment of $25, “just to bind the bargain, you know.” That is the last the farmer sees of his $25 or the agent. Another Dto enterprise comes from Mexico. I« scorns that an extensive company has been organized at some small town in that country for the express purpose of robbing citizens of the United States in a manner far less honorable than the methods employed by highwaymen. In someway these “greasers” obtain the name of their intended victims, then write them of the death of one of their friends by the name of Smith, Jones, or some other common name, and informing them of a will leaving large mining interest to the victim. The letter is writt< u by an atttorney-at law, and infor s the sucker that the executioners of the will have opened a correspond ace with the congressman from their district relative to transfering the property to the United States. The letter ends by asking that the victim pay the cost accrued up to date, amounting to from ten to fifteen dollars, and suggests that they send the full amount of costs, about $25 and after the money is forwarded nothing more is heard of the will or the mine that was bequeathed there-

William Reeves, of Monroe township, died on Nov. 28, 189;{, of typhoid fever. Deceased leaves a wife and five children to mourn the loss of a loving husband and devoted father. The funeral took place on Monday
last.
William Best, colored, was arraigned before Judge McGregor, on Monday, charged with stealing some skunk pelts from Mr. Bagley. He plead guilty. Judge McGregor held the case under advisement, disliking to give him a penitentiary sentence for so small an offense without knowing something of his previous repu-
tation.

A praiseworthy movement has been put on foot by a number of Greeneastle ladies to provide a grand Christmas dinner for the poor of Greencastle, and we hope their eft'orts will be aided and strengthened by the voices and purses of our people. That the arrangements may be in order and effective an organization has been formed with the following officers: Mrs. Wood, Pres.; Miss Weaver and Miss Resor, Vice Presidents; Miss Maggie Gilmore, Secy.; Miss Minnie Burlingame, Cor. Secy.; Miss Fannie Crow, Treas. The dreaded grip has started on its winter pilgrimage. Ordinary precaution may enable one to escape that mean disease, though even every precaution may be futile. It will get in its work on cold, drizzly days if it has any chance at all. At such seasons one should do the best they can to guard against it. Be cheerful, avoid the night air, eat heartily, and above all, keep the feet dry and warm. One fourth of our common coughs, colds and lung troubles come from damp feet. If, however, in spite of all paecaution, one is taking the grip, call in the family physician. Finally, however, do not imagine a cold in the head is grip. One will know grip by the manifold aches and pains scattered indiscriminately through the bones. Act and behave like a person with common sense and one will not go far astray.

Sudden Death. Died, in this city, on Nov. 26, Mr. Carroll Hammond, aged 67 years. Mr. Hammond’s death was most sudden and unexpected; he had just eaten his breakfast and had gone into the sitting room to sit down and rest In a tew moments the family heard him fall off his chair to the floor, and his son ran into the room only to find that the vital spark had tied his father's spirit had taken its flight to the beyond. The cause of his death was heart disease. Mr. Hammond had long been at flit ted with dropsy and disease of the heart, but he seemed better and stronger than usual on the morning
ot his death.
