Several Conversions Reported- Rem-

forcements In the Work.

The revival meeting at Curry's Chapel on Route 8 is progressing nicely and its influence is being felt. Several conversions have been jreported. \.~

A Fine Percheron Horse.

William Furry^ of Sugar Creek township, has received a fine Percheron Stallion, Marco No. 65346, which he purchased last week from the Maywood Stock Farm at Indianapolis. tg gjj

This is one of tffer finest "specimens of the great Percheron horse ever seen in Hancock county. He is five years old, coal black, 16)^ hands high, weighs a ton and has great style and action. It is well for the stock interests Of Hancock county when such a splendid horse is brought to the county. Mr. Furry.will keep the horse during the year at his home eight miles southwest of Greenfield. The horse can be seen at the livery^ barn of Jeffries & Son for a few days.

Poison Victims Better.

Hiram Colclazier and sons, Leonard and Albert, of Route 4, who have been suffering from ptomaine poisoning for the past eight weeks, are all better. Albert, the eldest son was in a critical condition, but two physicians have pulled him through so that he is able to be up and around now. Although Mr. Colclazier and his younger son, Leonard are about fully recovered, they yet feel the effects of the poison.

The three members of the family were poisoned by eating oysters, the other four members of the family escaping with only a slight illness*

RKEST CABS IN STATE

Are Being Built For "Honey Bee"

Line—First Car Out Wednesday. New Castle Courier—The Indianapolis, New Castle and Toledo Electric line, the Honey Bee is in operation.

The first car left this city this morning at 10 o'clock, with fifty or seventyfive joyous souls on board. The happi est man in the lot perhaps was Judge E. H. Bundy, one of the original promoters and backers of the line. He was smiles from head to foot and many friends extended congratulations All shared his-happiness.

The car, in charge of Paul White, who is superintendent of the installation of equipment, made its way up through the Elliott woods to South 12th street, where it rounded the corner and continued to 12th and Broad. A few* blasts of the whistle soon attracted a hundred or more people. Photographer Meade was on hands and got a picture of the car and its passengers.

THE FINEST CAR BUILT.

The }laim is made that the cars for this line will be the finest, most modern and up-to-date of any in the state and if appearances count for anything the claim is justified in every particular. -,

The object was to make the run from here to Shiriey and return, to limber up the car and motors and to test all appliances.

Mayor Shank, of Indianapolis, Has

Original Idea About Punishment of

Saloon Law Violaters. Mayer Lewis Shank, of Indianapolis, has adopted and put into force a novel plan to make the saloon keepers "be good." He issued a statement recently that the license of any saloon keeper who sold on Sunday would be revoked or suspended. They did not seem to believe him and some of them sold as usual.

The mayor had some of them up before him Wednesday and told them their licenses were revoked until they attended church on Sunday and sit through an entire sermon and the preacher whom they go to hear must act as their probation officer, sending .the mayor a letter, stating that the saloon man sent to their church was in attendance.

The preachers of the various churches are heartily in accord With the mayor's plan and will help him to carry it out and say they will be glad to welcome the saloon men in their, churches.

Mayor Shank says it will do the saloon men good to attend church and he will know they are not violating the law by- selling liquor while they are in church.

RENT OR BUY«FARM

Question Many Farmers Are Consider-

ing at This Time,

Many farm renters of Hancock county are np against the same old trouble and that is, securing a farm at fair rental. Most farm changes are booked for March first and it is generally conceded that no land, can be leased for less than five or .six dollars per acre. In small tracts of fifty acres or less the owner is asking |8 to $10 per acre. A farmer who leases 100 acres must pay §500 to $600 cash and furnish all his implements and live stock, besides his seeds and feed. Can a man afford to buy a small place with that capital if such a place were offered him?

Many of Hancock county's most successful farmers today and the men who own the most land, started to buy their farm on less than $500,while some have failed to make good by going heavily in debt even for land.

Here is what a succsssful farmer says on the renter proposition in The Marion County Mail: "If I were a renter and had fivehundred dollars cash besides equipment to run a fair sized farm, I should certainly try to get hold of a good 80acre tract of land. I see no reason why land should sell any lower than it does at present. The chances are all in favor of its going higher for some time to come. If a man is striving to own a home of his own he will naturally save more than he otherwise would. And he will take more interest in his farm, even though he was a good renter. The owner of the farm can find many ways of improving the appearances of the place and enhancing the value with little outlay of money or time, while" if he were renting he would not think of doing it.

'The renter loses every time he has to move. The cost of moving is fifty dollars at least. Then he is handicapped by getting in late. March 1 is the usual time and that is a month too late. Then he is apt to try to make up for lost time by slighting his work, which too often means a poor crop. 'To the man with a little money I would say, buy a home now. If you can't get the best there is, get the best you can. Don't go on from year to year trying to clean up some other man's cocklebur patch. If you wait until yoif have the cash to pay all down on a farm you are likely never to own one."

Indications are That Greenfield Will

Get T. H., I. & E. Shops. It seems to be almost a sure thing that Greenfield will secure the T. H. I. & E. car shops. The company's surveyors were platting off the ground in the vacant lots west of the barns Saturday. It is understood that a deal is on hand now by which the traction company will become the owner of these, lots, now owned by A. J. Banks.

If the deal is consumated work will at once begin on the buildings, as the officials of the the road desire to get this improvement done as soon as possible.

The location of the shops here will bring several families here and will also employ a good number of local people.

With the shops here, a car that is kept over night in the barns, if broken or out of repair, can be taken to the shops and overhauled and ready for a run by the next morning.

This move on the part of the company will Jhelp to boost Greenfield as it should be boosted.

With Prisoner—Fought Through all

the Courts. Indiana, through W. H. Rafferty, of this city, paroled prisoner agent for the reformatory at Jeffersonville, has won a great fight in the Canada courts in getting a ruling that paroled prisoners may be returned to the United States to finish their terms. W. H. Rafferty started the proceedings years ago in the lower courts of Canada and kept taking it up to the higher courts until it reached the King's court, where a decision was handed down Saturday, giving the United States the right to bring paroled prisoners back to finish their sentences, when they escape to.Canada.

Took Charge of Knightstown Church—

Shirley Christian Church Without a

Pastor. '.j

Shirley News: "Rev. OmerHufferd, who has been serving the Shirley Christian Church for several years as pastor, has taken charge of the Knightstown Church, leaving the charge vacant. He has been pastor of various churches in Hancock and near-by counties for many years. He is uncompromising temperance advocate, and in some quarters it is thought that his zeal in this respect has hurt his influence as a pastor. In consequence there was some friction. However, the Shirley church had invited Mr. Hufferd to remain another year, but after consideration, and much hesitation, he decided to go elsewhere. His family were moved to Knightstown this week. The Shirley congregation has as yet, not decided as to its course, and in the meantime is without a minister and regular services except the Sunday School and Christian Endeavor meetings."

Obituary of Harvey Cauldwell. Harvey Cauldwell, son of Wm. and Sally Cauldwell, was born near New Market, Senandoah county, Virginia, Oct. 23rd, 1831, and died at his home in McCordsville, Ind., Jan. 2nd, 1910, aged 78 years, 2 months and 9 days.

When 5 years old, he came with his parents to Wayne county, Ind., where he resided for one year, after which they removed to the farm entered from the United States Government by his father, 3 miles east of McCordsville. The remainder of his long and active life was spent in this community and he saw the region develop from a Last wilderness to a thickly settled and prosperous country.

He grew to manhood on the farm and then engaged in the merchandising business, first at McCordsville in the employ of Nelson Bradley and later on his own account at Castleton and McCordsville. He followed the life of a merchant for many years, but about twenty-five years ago dis--. posed of his mercantile business' and devoted the remainder of his life to looking after his farming interests. His motto was "thoroughness" and he applied that rule to all of his undertakings.

On August 23rd, 1860, he was married to Prudence Cummins, who was ever afterwards his devoted companion and helpmate. To them were born a daughter and a son, the daughter dying in infancy. He leaves a wife, a son, one sister, two brothers, three grandchildren and a host of friends to cherish his memory and mourn their loss.

In politics he was a Democrat and stood for the masses as against the classes. He never sought a public office, and while strong in his convictions, was not an offensive partisan, granting to every man the right to vote as his conscience dictated. His council was often sought in political affairs and he always gave his best efforts to promote the welfare of his party.

When just past 21 years of age he became a member of the great Masonic Fraternity, receiving his Blue Lodge degrees in Oakland Lodge, No. 140. In 1856 he received the Capitular degrees in Indianapolis Chapter No. 5, and in 1857 received the Cryptic degrees in Indianapolis Council No. 2. Later he assisted in organizing a Chapter and Council at McCordsville and transferred his membership there, having previously changed his Blue Lodge membership from Oakland to McCordsville Lodge No. 501. He filled all the various official chairs in the three different bodies to which he belonged and was often their representative in the Grand Lodge, Grand Chapter and Grand Council of the

State. At the time of his death he was the representative of the Grand Council of the State of Vermont, near the Grand Coimcil of Indiana, an honor he held for many years. His Masonic acquaintance was co-extensive with the State and he gave much time and thought to the Fraternity, its teachings and its practices. He was a Mason in the true sense and had a firm belief in the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of man. The Holy Bible was his rule and guide of faith.

Harvey Cauldwell was a man, like the rest of us, with his faults and his virtues. He despised hypocricy, hated the wrong and had an abiding faith that the right would prevail. He never lost interest in young people and his advice to them was of the purest. He did the best he could With the material at hand and when he laid down his working tools for the last time, the messenger from the Supreme Grand Master found his house in order.
