Chair Company That Was Burned Out

Anxious to Begin Manufacturing

Again.

The managers of the National Adjustable Chair Co., whose store room was burned recently, are anxious to resume work just as soon as possible. They are delayed on account of the cold weather and frozen ground. The water pipes are stopped up from some cause since the fire and the supply is cut off from the New building they are making arrangements to use. They have orders waiting to be filled and are anxious to start because of the hands, some of whom have been unable to secure anything like steady work since the fire destroyed the plant. As soon as the ground thaws sufficiently so the water pipes can be gotten at, the plant will probably start.

FAMILY NEEDS HELP

Husband Sick and Wife Asks for Work

or Supplies.

A lady northeast of town was here Friday making an effort to secure work or some supplies. It was learned that her husband was ill and that they were in very destitute circumstances. A few people gave her money and some groceries, for which she was very thankful. She stated that her husband ^had, until the time of the beginning of his illness, worked on farms nearby doing work by the day.

Upon teleponing to their neighbors, they plead ignorant of the fact that the family was in destitute circumstances, but told our informant that the man had been ill for some time. The family should be helped along through the winter or until they can help themselves.

Miss Besse Maple Suffered Severe Ac

cident Saturday Afternoon.

Miss Besse Maple, bookkeeper for the New milling Co., slij^ped on the ice on the sidewalk on the north side of the court house Saturday afternoon and fell, breaking her ankle in two places. She was taken to her home on Douglas street and Dr. Carl McGaughey set the broken bones. Miss Maple fell almost at the same place a week ago, but escaped serious injury at that time.

Miss Maple has a large of friends who are sorry to hear of her accident, which will confine her to her home for several weeks.

Obituary.

"The vacant chair, how sacred to us all, From it the dearest of the flock has just been called, No one on earth can fill that vacant place,

No one so pure, so noble and so chaste."

Eliza T. Boss, daughter of George and Anna Boss, was born Jan. 6th, 1S43, in Shelby county, Ind., where she has resided all her life.

She was married to J. K. Miller Nov. 25th, 1848. To this union were born six children, Nicholas A., Ira C., Lewis C., Mrs. Anna Thompson and Mrs. Sitha Cowan. Noah L. preceded her to the Spirit Land at the age of six years. Besides her husband and children she is survived by tfii grandchildren, who were bound to her with the tenderest cords of love. She leaves two sisters and one brother, Mrs. Mary C. Smith, Mrs. Barbara Burr and Frederick A. Boss, all of whom have the sympathy of many sorrowing friends.

She was converted and became a "member of the U. B. church in early girlhood and has always been an ideal christian, penetrating and inspiring the lives of all who knew her, more than we can comprehend.

Du.ing her brief illness she was given all the care that love and kindness could dictate, but the Master had called and her sweet spirit fled to God who gave it on the evening of the 26th of December, 1909. Had she lived until the 6th of January she would have reached the age of 67. Words fail to express the loss of one so dear, so loved and so enshrined. Only the heart can feel the aching, the solitude that reigns within. "We bear it calmly, though a ponderous woe, And still adore the hand that gives the blow.''

She was a faithful and loving wife, a kind, affectionate mother, an accommodating and sympathetic neighbor and will be long and sadly missed in this community.

'Weep not that her toils are over Weep not that her race is run God grant we may rest as calmly.

When our work, like her's is done."

The funeral sermon was preached by W. A. Cler, of Dublin, Ind, at the Fairview church, Wednesday morning, Dec. 29th. The text was Job 14: 14. Interment at^live Branch cemetery.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1910.

NOAH SPEA6LE HURT

Ex-Sheriff's Horse Turned in Front of

Car—Face Cut and Arm Hurt—Is

Not Dangerous—Was Going Home.

Noah Speagle, of Jackson township, ex-sheriff of Hancock county, was struck by a T. H., I. & E. car Saturday evening on East Main street and was injured about the face and one ai'm. It is thought that his injuries are not of a dangerous nature. Mr. Speagle was on his way home and his horse became scared at an approaching car near the East school building.

The horse turned onto the track in front of the car, it is said, and the car struck the buggy, injuring Mr. Speagle as stated above. He was taken at once to the office af Dr. C. K. Brunei-, the company's physician, where his injuries were dressed before he was taken to his home.

One Man Gave Fifty Dollars in Cash

to Charity Association.

The people of Greenfield should certainly be commended for the generous way in which they are standing by the charity organization in helping the needy through their trying times. Not only has clothing and food been given in generous quantities, but money as well has been donated. One man gave fifty dollars in cash Saturday and that sum will help to keep many humble homes warm and comfortable and supply food and clothing for many little children.

There are said to be many more families in Greenfield who need and are worthy of help than is generally known about, except to the organization, which has the work in charge and is doing much good quietly and without any show whatever.

TO RENTjpFFICES

Council as Committee Will Confer With

Commissioners.

The subject of renting the city offices in the court house for another year was brought up and discussed. It seems there has been contract except a verbal one, the city occupying the offices without any stated rental value and furnishing the water and lights for the court house during the time that they do not furnish it themselves, one accomodation balancing the other. The present administration seems to favor a contract with a stated rental price for the rooms the city offices occupy and then charging the county a stated price for water and lights when they use them. The matter was referred to the council and city attorney as a committee to be taken up with the county commissioners.

CANDIDATES THICK

Working in Town on Saturday—Old

Time Crowd Here.

Candidates were almost falling over themselves Saturday on the streets to get at the wiley voter. During the week they have been working out in the country, but Saturday found many of the country people here, so they saw more of them by staying in town. Candidates for the Democratic nomination for county offices are becoming more numerous every day.

An old time Saturday afternoon crowd was here, as the weather was a little more moderate and people have been housed up for several weeks. Merchants were doing considerable business and were happily satisfied.

Chosen Again by Democrats by Ac

clamation.

Stokes Jackson, of this city, was chosen State Chairman of the State committee by the district Democratic chairmen Saturday afternoon at Indianapolis. Mr. Jackson's election was by acclamation, as no other candidate was placed in nomination.

Wrecked, Car Again On Line.

One of the cars which was in the wreck last Saturday, has been remodeled and was put on the line today. The ear looks like a new one being repainted inside and out. The crew thinks there is no hoodoo on the car because of the wreck.

About 8,000 Acres Will Be Included In

New Private Preserve South West of

City.

The land owners of the southwest quarter of Center township 'are preparing to form a private game preserve, which will contain about 8,000 acres if all the landowners join the movement. The agreement, will be that any owner in the preserve can hunt any place in the preserve, but all outsiders will be excluded.

The agitators of the movement are doing this as they claim to protect the birds and also to furnish better hunting for each one signing the agreement. There are State preserves south of this proposed preserve and also one to the east. The birds flying from these preserves to the land in the proposed private preserve are bagged there and the hunters are getting an ample supply of game. The State game warden has promised patridges to go on the preserve if they are protected for a certain period.

It is thought that practically all the landowners in this district will sign the agreement, thus making a solid and unbroken preserve.

Groundhog Day Is Only About a

Month Off—How the Sign Works.

The question is being asked us, when is Groundhog Day? To the best ot our knowledge it comes as usual on Ash Wednesday, which is February 19th.

On that day, according to the most reliable information and best traditions, his hogship will emerge from his hole and take a squint at weather conditions. If the sky is clear at sunrise and the little animal sees his shadow, he will retire to his wintering place and remain six weeks longer, satisfied and sure that there will be just that much more of cold, bad weather.

On the other hand, if the sky is clouded and the groundhog cannot see his shadow, he will have good cause to believe that springtime is near and he will remain out of his hole and go to hustling for food.

HIGHWlRK

Hogs Went Over Nine Dollars Friday—

Best At $9.15—Highest In 28 Years.

Hogs at §9.15 a hundred makes the consumers sit up and take notice, especially is the feeling intense in the region of the pocketbook. The price paid at the Indianapolis stock yard was the highest paid in 28 years and was the highest ever known at this time of year. The bulk of the sales were made at from §8.85 to §9.05 only one extra fine bunch bringing §9.15, several going for §9.10. The snow and ice has kept the regular supply, which accounts for the extra fancy price.

The Prohibition Argument.

Rushville American.

The attitude of The Indianapolis

Star on the temperance question that is now before the people of Indiana is, to say the least, unsound and its feeble attempt at argument in behalf of continued local option as against state-wide prohibition is so clearly inspired by selfish motives that few people will be influenced even by its frequent and lengthy editorials on the subject. State-wide prohibition may not be expedient as a political measure at this time, and we are not so sure that it would even be in the interest of either the Republican party or temperance itself for that party to put a prohibition plank in its state platform, but this is no reason for condemnation of prohibition or for exaltation of local option.

State-wide prohibition contains every good thing contained in local option and one thing more. The licensed saloon is an evil institution and the notion that any community or corporation has a right to vote to legalize it is morally wrong. A majority of a corporation may vote under local option to retain saloons, but that doesn't make it any more right than the wish of four men out of a bunch of five to rob a bank makes a robbery respectable. The fact is that the wish of a majority is not a safe guide. We submit graciously, however, to majority rule, and make the best of our conditions.

Local option is a step in the right direction. It is a good thing and perhaps all we ought to ask for the present until it has been properly tried and more people are convinced of the folly of the saloon. But this law as well as any other, if it really accomplishes the purpose intended, must be enforced by its friends. The trouble has been and still is that the enforcement of laws has been entrusted too much to the enemies of those laws. Let us first see to it that we got what is coming to us from local option and then we can go hope-
