A raise of eleven cents In the tax levy in Greencastle is evidence of Republican rule, extravagance and inefficiency, in the City of Greencastle. Higher taxes with absolutely nothing to show for them except higher salaries and poorer streets. A raise of eleven cents In the tax levy in the city of Greencastle Is a burden upon the taxpayers that would be needless if the Republican city officials would cut out extravagance , mismanagement and inefficiency. They will not and the people are forced to pay heavy taxes with little or nothing to show therefore in the shape of improvements or other benefits. Paul Hill is moving his family here from Indianapolis. They will occupy the Sewell property on south Indiana street. What has become of the anti-vote buying agreement that the Banner wasled so much good space on a few days ago? Did it die in its infancy as it should have done. The law is sufficient In the matter and the Republicans were not sincere when they proposed it. County Auditor C. C. Hurst has completed the tax duplicates for the 1906 assessment of property. They will not be turned over to the county treasurer until January 1, however. This Is an early date for the completion of this work, generally they can not he completed until much later.

Several Greencastle women have formed an organization which Is purposed toward forwarding the making of cider in Putnam county. Their plan is to draft several of the masculine members into a “squeezing” brigade and let them do that part r>f the work, while they—the women gather the apples. The first elder wa-s made Wednesday afternoon, when the party went to the home of James A. Curtis, near Putnamvllle Mr. Curtis furnished the apples and Henry Crews, Willis Woods and Mr. Steward the motive power. Mrs. Edward Lynch, Mrs. Albaugh. Mrs. Crews, Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Edward Stone did the picking. 37 gallons of cider was made. Governor Hanly starts the Republican campaign by saying that a "business administration” Is not enough—that there must be some thing else back of It. Well, we should like to know what is back of the * business management" of stale affairs that is alluded te In the Republican platfftrm. Taxes are high and growing higher, expenses of the government are high and growing higher and the people are getting no returns. Besides, under this “business management” the state lacks Just about a million dollars of being even with the game. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Moss and their little granddaughter, Irene Moss, celebrated their birthdays on October 20. As dt happens they were all born on the same day of the month. Mr. Moss was sixty-eight, Mrs. Moss seventy-five and little Irene was five. Irene Is the daughter of James Moss and wife of Indianapolis.
