FRIDAY. MARCH 29, 1889.

JOHN WANAMAKKR'S life is insured for $1,300,000. He has the heaviest insurance of any man in this country.

GOVENOR HOVEY is still ahead of the Democratic Legislature. The courts ate sustaining his opinions.

PROPERTY

is moving rapidly in Green

field this spring. People who have any idea of investing in a home should do so at once, while prices are still moderate.

GREENFIELD is one of the healthiest and best located towns in the State. A prop

er spirit il put her in the front rank with the very best country towns in the State.

No PLACE in this country will make you abetter home than Hancock Couuty. Here you can always be sure of crops. Here you can go into the stock business and make money both rapidly and easily. Tell your friends of the fine outlook there is for Greenfield and Hancock County.

THE resignation of Senator Jonathan Chace, of Rhode Island, because the salary he said was not sufficient to justify him in longer neglecting his large business interests has created a stir about raising the salaries of both Congressmen and Senators. The people, we are sure, are satisfied that the salaries are sufficient. JCJiey can live as well as any one need to live who does not desire any snobbery, on their present salary of $5,000 per year, stationary $125 and 20 cents for each mile traveled going and coming. There are some men who could make more money than the salary amounts to but the vast majority are receiving much more than they could earn in any other way, and, the fact is, a man who does not like the salary need not take the job.

their recent victory

OBITUARY.

Died—In Charlottesville, Ind., after a protracted illness, on the 12th ol March, 188!!, Theodore P. Chambers. The deceased was born in this county, April 27, 1845, and at the time of his death, was 43 years, 10 months and 15 days old.

Having spent the greater part of his life in or near this place, he was wellknown, and by his kindness of heart and pleasant manners, had drawn to himself a great number of warm personal friends. Let us throw the broad mantle of charity over his faults and imitate and practice his virtues. His mother has lost a loved and only son, and the sister a kind-heart-ed brother. In their hour of sore affliction we extend to them our christian sympathy. His funeral was preached by Rev. Gause at the M. E. church, and a large procession of relatives and friends followed the hearse to the old cemetery, at GILboa, where in accordance with the ritual of the Independent Order of Odd Fello.v*, of which he was a member, his remaios were deposited in the grave, there lo r(^t till God shall bid the sleeping dust come forth.

Died—On the 13th day of March, 18.^9, of linitf ferer, Walter R. McKown, son of Frank and Laura Mckown, aged 1 year, Onios.. and 17 days.

In conformity to the laws of nat ure, we are ever looking for the messenger of death to visit the aged, aud are not surprised at his approach, but we re o« ten astonished and filled with wonder when we see those who have just staned in lite with a bright prospect for iuture useful ness and happiness before them, snafcehet away.

But our ways are not God's ways, «.!• we submit believing that he doetii J:!! things well. That death loves a shum. mark is very forcibly illustrated

death of little Walter. He WHS a child of great patience. He was sicko\er

He rests in the heavens of Heavens above, Kehenrsing the story of Jesus' love He lists the sweet muMc of that blest abode, And sinjjs hallelujahs of praise to hi* God.

I desire to congratulate Miss liaudall for the manner in which she conducted the school and I wish to state that my children have advanced wouderJuliy under her administration.

Close of the Hopewell School. WESTLAND, IND., March 27, 1889. iieiug one of the patrons I thought I would visit the schools and,as luck would have it, arrived just before the noon hour to find in the center of the room a huge table, which had been construe!ed by the scholars, and upon which was Hptead a dinner that would cause the most fastidious epicure to chuckle. By the time dinner was ready quite a number had arrived. After dinner the young men engaged in jumping while lhe young ladies played Open Ring aud Blackmail.

After the house was called to order the afternoon was spent in literary exercises— declamations, dialogues, etc. Miss Mattie Riley gave the introductory which was very entertaining indeed. Alter the program had been carried out the remainder of the evening was given to the patrous aud spectators present. Frank Simmons, of Greenfield, capped the climax iu a few neat remarks on scchool teaching in general. Frank seemed perfectly at home. It beginning to get late the scholars bid their faithful teacher good-hy, shouldered their books and departed for their homa.?.

He was the pride of the family and was loved by all who knew him. But he is gone to return no more. The family circle is broken. He leaves a father and a stricken mother aud two sisters—the latter too small to appreciate their loss, to mourn his death. But he has gone for the better, while our number has decreased one. The angels have added one more t« their number, our loss is their gain. During his intense sulTerincr lie scarcely ever cried and met tne grim monster with the utmost composme.
