A wreck, which might have proved ■ serious,was prevented here this morning when number 45. a west bound through freight, left the Clover Leaf yards. A. H.

If the train had not been stopped when it was, a general smash-up of the cars would have resulted—Bluffton Banner.

With the opening of this week the local markets announce another drop in the price of wheat. The latest Jrop is to eighty cents and is no doubt the forerunner of many others which will follow during the week. The poor quality of the grain which is being brought to the market is given as the chief cause for the decrease in price as very little of the product is in good condition. The lid which Mayor Wilson closed down tight three weeks ago wps slightly lifted today and business men I are predicting that Noblesville will be I wide open on Sundays in the future.

A Jackson township farmer answered an advertisement “How to get more eggs,” and enclosed 31 fee. The advice was simple: "Raise more hen.’ Another man complained that when he sent $5 to learn the secret of “living without work” he was advised to become a boarder at the poorhouse. When an inquisitive person tried to learn the secret of "travel free at government expenses,” he received the valuable advice: “Paste a postage stamp on your back, climb into a mail box and make a noise like a registered letter.” “Don’t drown at sea,” was another catch ad. A man sent his dollar and asked what should be done in case of shipwreck. The answer to this w’as, “Sink until you reach the bottom and walk home.”
