MUSI HAVE TAX RECEIPTS
The New Rale in Relation to Road Tax
and the County Treasurer's
Office.
The county treasurer's office is filling out tax receipts for the spring installment. These are made ready for the "received payment" stamp. The first Monday in May, the 2nd day of the month this year, is the last day for the payment of the spring installment of taxes.
The new accounting law has trebled the work in the treasurer's office. Heretofore, for instance, the road tax has been certified into the office. Now the taxpayer must present his road tax receipt from the supervisor. Then the treasurer's office takes the receipt and compares it to see if the amount is correct. If it is the sum is subtracted from the taxes and receipted. Ifwill be necessary, therefore, to take the road tax receipt to the treasurer's office. Otherwise the taxes cannot be received.
Under these conditions the office is anxious that all, who conveniently can, pay their taxes early, and avoid the disappointments of the last day.
Considerable taxes were paid before March 1st, as persons having cash on hand and obligations to be met, reduced their "cash on hand" by paying their taxes and cutting this much off their assessment.
GOOD START
Splendid Sermon at Friends' Church
Sunday by Noted Earlham
Instructor.
The Friends'church was packed with people Sunday night who heard an able sermon on "The Divinity of Christ." Sunday morning the same speaker spoke on "The Fatherhood of God."

Mrs. Daisy Barr, of Fairmount, formerly pastor of the local church, will assist the pastor, Isaac Stanley, in the meetings and will preach tonight.
The singing is in charge of Miss Leora Bogue. Services will be held each day at 3 and 7:30 p.m.
There was much praise for the Bible discussions by Prof. Russell and regret that he could not stay longer.
CATHERINE FRY.
Catherine Fry, a highly respected resident of this county, died at 11:00 p.m. Feb. 28th. 1910, at the home of Alex Lowe?and wife in Philadelphia, Ind., after an illness of one week's duration.
She was the daughter of Benjamin and Louisa Fry, and the last of a family of six children:—Henry J., Lot, Benjamin, and Jane Fry, and Mrs. Aneliza Long.
Aunt Bat, as she was familiarly known, by her many friends, was born April 27th. 1836, at the old Fry home, four and one-half miles southwest of Greenfield, and spent the greater part of her life there.
When we acquaint ourselves with the life of one nearly 74 years of age, we go back to the time when the struggles and hardships for existence were more strenuous than w© find them today but aided by a strong constitution and brave heart, she has been able to do her share toward pi airing our country what it is, and, being always a firm believer in the Christian faith, she has made it the mainstay of a long, profitable life.
Aunt Kit was never married and after the death of her parents, she, with another sister and a brother, kept up the old home devoted to the interests of each other and those around them.
Since the deatn 01 her brother in September, 1908, she had made her home with a niece, Mrs. Lowe, of Philadelphia, and had made many friends there.
Those who will miss her most are the children of her deceased sister and brothers, fifteen in number, their families, one sister-in-law, and a large circle of neighbors and friends who have known and loved her.„

Pennsylvania Civil Engineer Talks of
the Progress of the Big
Improvement.
Mr. G. R. Berry, engineer in charge of the new work on the Indianapolis divison of the Pennsylvania road was in the city a short time. Mr Berry, although a young man, is said to be "onto his job" most thoroughly, and to hold the complete confidence of the higher officials.
Work in the deep cuts is now going on about as rapidly as it did last fall, in the hills east of Raysville, and west of Centerville. Although considered a little risky, cement work has also been resumed in a small way, regardless ot the Hicks blizzard scheduled for this week.
Mr. Berry was asked if any contracts in this county have been let, and he replied that none have been, further than those of the last year. He said, further, that the work has not yet been "authorized" beyond the present contract, which ends about three miles west of Knightstown. Mr. Berry stated that every effort will be put forth to complete the double track this year from Richmond to the point designated, west of Knightstown.
Remarkable Condition Revealed by
Surgeon's Knife on Greenfield
Man's Face.
A remarkable find was made Monday by Dr. Milo Gibbs in a surgical operation for the relief of pain that had troubled Samuel Stephens, Sr., of East South street, for many years. It was a stone imbedded just back of the jaw bone. How it ever found a location there or when is a mystery.
For thirty-five years Mr. Stephens has been troubled with pain in the jaw and face. Physicians had made examinations fully thirty years ago, and often since, but could not locate the cause. Probably the stone had worked nearer the surface. Dr. Gibbs could feel a hard substance and the knife revealed a stone inch, which with little difficulty was removed. It is considered a very remarkable incident.
