‘‘There Are Others”

SHOES WE MEAN sBut none so stylish, durable, handsome, or so perfect in every respect \ as those just received by ... LOUIS & HAYS . . . They bring fortli exclamations of wonder and delight from all who see them. We have them in lllack or Tan, High or L uv cut, in all th latest styles and tiuest grades of Yici kid and patent leather, at very low prices. Respectfully, iOUIS it HAYS, The Shoe Men. There was a man in our town And he was wondrous wise; He bought a shoddy suit of clothes And thought he had a prize. One day he wore them in a rain, He’s in a sorry plight; The coat shrunk up into a vest, The vest shrunk out of sight. He sewed some feet onto his pants, t He’s wearing them for socks; And now to hear that wise man swear You'd think him blasting rocks. ^ Yes, he’ll know better next time. There can be but one end to [ buying unreliable clothing, nnd that is dissatisfaction. What’s the use of taking chances? The moneyyou pay for a poor siut will buy a good one at

Mrs. Owen, who was the guest of her parents, Cnpt. W. P. Wimmer and wife, has returned to Chicago. Died, on April 19, 1896, in Warren township, Miss Minnie A. Heath, daughter of Tliomas Heath, aged 'J1 years and 24 days. The little child of William McMains scalded a few weeks ago, as we noted at the time, diecV on April 18, from effects of its injuries. Hon. S. A. Hays left for Newport, Ky., on Monday, to take part in the prosecution of Jackson, charged with the murder of Miss Pearl Bryan. There are more eyes ruined by wearing unsuitable spectacles than in any other way. Glasses purchased from Dr. Shipley are always correct. Shipley, the rail road watchmaker, has nearly all the watch work in the county. This is accounted for because of his great facilities and his skill as a watchmaker. The lightning on Monday night struck the fire alarm wires on College Avenue, and sent in a false alarm—the necessary repairs were made on Wednesday morning. Good vision affords great enjoy.ment. Why suffer with optical defects when you can have them so accurately corrected by M. D. Ricketts, graduate optician of the Chicago Ophthalmic College and Hospi-

The Woman's Club meets at Ladies Hall, this afternoon, at the usual hour. The papers of the afternoon will be: “Mohammedanism in America,” by Mrs. Cook; “The Hebrew Story Teller, Zangwell,” by Mrs. Hammond. Thieves are getting in their work all over the country by compelling jewelers to open their safes during the night. If you wish to leave your watch for repairs where it is safe, leave it at Shipley’s; he is the only jeweler in Indiana who has time lock safes. Glenn, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Buis, of Marion township, died on April 20, of tuberculer meningitis; the stricken family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in their great bereavement; funeral took place on Wednesday, Elder Skelton conducting the services, burial at Stilesville. On last Sunday, at her late residence in this city, Mrs. Elizabeth Williams died after a long and painful sickness. Deceased had long been a resident of this city, and had many friends who mourn her demise and sympathize with the stricken relatives in their great loss. The funeral took place from tho family residence, on Tuesday afternoon. The Century Club elected oflleers at the last meeting, as follows: Miss Minnetta Taylor, Pres.; Mrs. N. S. Joslin, Vice Pres.; Mrs. Aaron Cooper, Rec. Sec.; Miss E. Jean Nelson, Cor. Sec.; Mrs. James B. Nelson, Treas.; Mrs. F. D. Ader, Critic; Miss Minnetta Taylor, delegate to the National Convention ot Federation of Clubs at Louisville; Mrs. D. L. Anderson, Mrs. F. P. Nelson, Mrs. N. g. Joslin, program committee. Always keep an eye out for the interest of your town. There are very few who are not dependent for a livelihood upon thecummunity in which they live. The merchant, the professional man, the laborer, in fact everyline of business in a large measure is dependent on others for success. With tliis in view, all the time , how important that the interest of your neighbor should receive encouragement from you. When you buy, buy at home. No matter what it is, an overcoat or an envelope, get it at home for in the end you will be gainer, for your neighbor will be in duty bound to trade with you.—Ex. Death of Mrs. Hartley. Last Monday morning Mrs. Sarah Hartley entered into rest, after a long sickness, aged 73 years. Deceased was one of the old residents of Putnam county, and was greatly beloved because of her kindness of of heart, her pleasant social ways and tho sincere sympathy felt and expressed for those in sorrow or in sickness, and tier demise is widely deplored. She leaves surviving, lu f husband, MeCatney Hartley, who is and has been for many weeks criticaily ill with senile gangrene, and four children—Mrs. II. H. Mathias, Mrs. G. C. Smythe, Samuel Hartley, and Thomas Hartley. These bereft ones, who realize their great loss in a loving wife and indulgent mother, have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. The funeral took place from the j family residence on Wednesday afternoon, tho services being conducted by Rev. W. K. Weaver, and the singing by the DePauw Male Quartette. A wealth of beautiful flowers

M. D. Ricketts, optician, fits your face as well as your eyes. John Chaffee is reading medicine with Drs. Smythe & Tucker. D. E. Williamson visited his daughter, at Louisville, this week. Miss Sue Terry has gone to Indianapolis for medical treatment. Dr. Evans went to Owen county Monday, to visit his parents. As a watchmaker Shipley has no equal in this part of the State. This fact is proven by the great amount of watches he has on hand for repairs at all times. On last Saturday thieves entered the house of Thomas Jackson, in Marion township, and stole some clothing and some $s or $10 in cash the guilty parties have not been

found.

The spectacle business has been remarkably good with M. D. Ricketts, optician. Why So? Because' his prices are reasonable, and he pleases, and he accurately fits every one of his patients. The Epworth League of South Greencastle M. E. Church will give a carpet ball social on Friday night, May 1; every lady is requested to bring a carpet ball with her name on the inside of the ball; refreshments will be served: proceeds for the benefit of the league; everybody cordially invited. On Saturday last while Jabez Brown and family were in this city, a thief forced entrance to his residence in Floyd township, and stole everything that suited their fancy — among the articles stolen was over $100 in cash, some of jewelry, a lot of clothing, etc. No clue to the guilty

party.

James E. Williams wants a divorce from Harriet M. Williams, and has filed a complaint in Putnam Circuit Court, in which he alleges that Harriet has treated him cruelly and inhumanely, lias cursed him, has accused him of being unfaithful to his marriage vows, has struck him, and has threatened to take his life, all which he thinks is just grounds for a decree of divorce. The parties to the suit are residents of Warren

township.

There was a large attendance at the Old Folks’ Concert, on Monday night, and the profit in cash amounted to almost $50, while the profit in amusement to the audience was beyond computation. The program was ricli and its rendition was richer. The Geography Losson was an encore producer, the local portion being especially pleasing. The singing by the quartett was good, and the rondos were applauded with vim - Rev. Moore filled the solo number that was billed for David C. Hughes, who was prevented by adverse circumstances over which lie had no control, from filling his engagement, and these cireumstanees were tlie cause of general regret, especially on the part of the Wall street portion of the audience. The aceordian solo took like wildfire, and Mr. and Mrs. T. L. MeNeff carried off the artistic honors of - the evening with their duett so sweetly sang—“The Model Church.” Tho number by Greencastle Belles of 40 years ago proved a groat favorite, and Daniel and J. K. Langdon were happily successful and pleasing in their flute duett, and received thunders of applause, deserved because they were masters of tho situation and the flutes. The recitation by Miss Starr was up to her usual artistic standard, and Mrs. Moore sang the old Scotcli ballad, “John Anderson, My Jo John,” very sweetly. The entertainment closed with a well sang quartett by Messrs. Ellis, Moore,

Hughes and Higert. Candidates Named.

The Democrats of the First and Second Wards of this city, met at the Court House, on Saturday evening, and nominated candidates for Councilmen in those wards, as follows: First Ward, Ed. Walls; Second Ward, Quinton Broadstreet. Both these gentlemen are capable, reputable, and honest business men; they deserve election, nnd if they are elected there will be no increase of salaries nnd there will be no extravagance in the conduct of city business affairs, if it is in their power by advice or votes to prevent it. They are just the sort of men to elect to the city council to overthrow the arrangements of the slick Republican ring that has been running the affairs of Greencastle, and cut down the extravagant expense list now authorized and fostered. The opportunity is at hand for the people of Greencastle to benefit
