C. Williams Co A SHORT CHAT CLOSES THE DEAL
Meixell-Downing Company Grows Out
of Ten Minutes' Talk, Exper
ience and Push.
The Indianapolis Star Sunday has the following concerning Arthur Downing, of this city: "A partnership formed in ten minutes, and the establishment of the firm name in the front ranks of motordom—such is the Indianapolis automobile business romance of the firm of Meixell-Downing Company, sales aganls for the "Clark" cars. "Mr Downing is the son of Charles Downing, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture. Young Mr. Downing comes by his business success naturally. In two years he has made his way to the front in the automobile industry and has established a record for salesmanship seldom equaled. "Downing and Meixell had known each other for years and met one day on the street by chance. Mr. Downing had been in the 'game' for some time and naturally asked his friend about the industry. In exactly ten minutes they had agreed to a partnership. The pair became the sales agents of the "Clark" car, built at Shelbyville and later took complete charge of the sales department. "They took over a million dollars' worth of cars and in five months the cars were being delivered. The success of the young firm is another illustration of the keen business instinct of Indianapolis automobile men who are in the front rank of the dealers of the country. "Mr. Meixell was for ten years with the Fisk Rubber Company, and
lately was president and general man-, f*
ager of the Marion Motor Car Sales Company, which was sold out to the Willis-Overland Company. "Mr. Downing was for five years connected with the Pope Motor Car Company and later was on the Pacific coast for the Studebaker Manufacturing Company of South Bend. Both are very well acquainted with the
motor car industry connected with it.''
Crack Checker Players Coming. Lovers of the game are arranging for a checker tournament in this city for the evening of March 31st. It is promised that the crack players of the State will be present and take part.
Greenfield has some good players. Cass Holt, a letter carrier, is one of the hardest men to be beat in the State and can at least play a draw with most any corner. The tovrnament will be held at the Columbia Hotel.
There is much interest manifested in this old game. Down at Carthage are players who have good records and they have been invited to join in the sport.

A DRAMATIC CLUB
Recent Amateur Plays in This City
Call to Mind the Old Time The
atrical Company.
The production of "Esmeralda" by the Butler Dramatic Club in this city, has served to call to mind the time when the Greenfield Amateur Theatrical Company flourished and this play was in its repertoire. The play was presented in the old Masonic Hall. The company gave a number of plays there and repeated them at Knightstown, Morristown and other nearby towns with marked success.
In 1882 the members of the club were Lee O. Harris, W. F. Meek, Jessie Randall, R. A. Black, Elva Riley, Will Randall, Anna Harris, W. E. Huston, Walter Bragg, May Roberts, Frank Hammel and Asa New.

Urday
day afternoon the hall at Maxwell.
The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Loveless, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church.
At the beginning of his brief address, the minister said: "This hall has been the scene of political meet-

and the people
lodge sessions, festivals, and
midnight revelries. Only last night the places we now occupy were given to dancers, but this is the first time the room has accommodated an an assemblage to pay the last respects to the dead."
The body of the deceased was carried up the high and narrow steps by the strong chain workers and every mark of respect was shown their associate whose death had occurred under the unfortunate circumstances. Mr. Eshelman of this city directed the funeral and burial. The dead man had been a member of the Catholic church in his youth.
Mrs. Myrtle Prather, of Indianapolis, is quite sick here at the home of her sister, Mi s. Charles Vance.
Don't Break Down.
Severe strains on the vital organs, like strains on machinery, cause break-downs. You can't over-tax stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or nerves without serious danger to yourself. If you are weak or rundown, or under strain of any kind, take Electric Bitters, the matchless, tonic medicine. Mrs. J. E. Van de Sande, of Kirkland, 111., writes: "That I did not break down, while enduring a most severe strain, for three months, is due wholly to Electric Bitters." Use them and enjoy health and strength Satisfaction positively guaranteed. 50c at M. C. Quigley's. 3

FINED FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
Yard Finnell in Mayor's Court Says
He is Not Guilty of Refusing to
Serve as Deputy Marshal.
Vard Finnell was fined five dollars in mayor's court Monday morning on a charge of contempt. He was deputized Saturday evening to assist in the search for liquor at the shooting gallery on West Main street and it was claimed he failed to respond.
In mayor's court the following entry was made:— "Mr. Finnell appeared and said he was not guilty. After hearing the statement of the defendant, the defendant is fined five dollars for contempt."
Mr. Finnell says he did not refuse to serve, but acted in good faith in the matter. He said that Mayor Myers called him to his office from the street Saturday afternoon and told him he was deputized to assist in the raid.
"I
said to Mr. Myers that
I did not want to serve and that I was obliged to go across to the bank on pressing business and explained it. Mr. Myers told me to go to the bank and from there meet the officers at Mount and Main streets, from where they were to go to the place to be raided. Before I reached the bank I was stopped by a man who asked me, as deputy assessor, concerning a mortgage. I told him I was in a hurry and went on to the bank and from there to the place I was told to be. On reaching there I found the officers had not waited for me."
PRICES WERE HIGHER THEN
Charles Ferger Paid Twenty-Eight Cents a Pound for Lard in 1868.
War time lard prices are classics in economic lore. And today since lard has exceeded all its records in a time of peace, these ancient figures are brought forward on every hand to discountenance any undue enthusiasm over the present exorbitant values. But the trouble with these traditional prices is that hardly any two stories agree as to the height reached during or immediately after the civil strife.
Charles Ferger, the veteran flour jobber of Indianapolis and a resident of the city for forty-two years, was induced to give his figures on the subject the other day when some unknowing individual remarked that lard had never before been as high as it is now. And Mr. Ferger has the old bill signed in August, 1868, to

ments.
"Of course," said Mr. Ferger, "17% cents a pound is a good price to pay for lard at wholesale, but the first day I came to Indianapolis I paid 28 cents a pound for the first barrel of lard to start my bakery. That was the top point, and there wasn't much sold at that figure, but I have the bill to prove it. From that figure it began to drop until a normal level was reached."
Mr. Ferger came to Indianapolis from Cincinnati, where he had been employed as a baker on his arrival in this country from Germany immediately after the civil war. On May 30, 1866, he remembers that his employer paid $18 a barrel for flour. Another of his first purchases in. Indianapolis in August, 1868, was a barrel of

Knife Wound Causes Death. Oak'Morrison was called near Ingalls Saturday by the death of Ralph Kimball, eleven years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Kimball, formerly of Philadelphia. The funeral was Sunday afternoon at
flour at $14.25. Still another fancy mind and W. J. Hyatt appointed his price was 32 ceiits a pound for a barrel of granulated sugar. "You can talk of your fancy prices now," said Mr. Ferger with a smile, "but they will not compare with what we paid in those days."

COULD NOT RESIST TEMPTER
The Genial Mayor of Indianapolis Had
to Sell Some Goods at New's
Public Sale.
Lew Shank, the genial mayor cf Indianapolis, was shaking hands with Greenfield men Monday. He came over in an automobile with a party cf friends and after paying his respects to Mayor Myers went out to Tcm New's public sale.
Mayor Shank is a professional auctioneer and when he reached tie
LEW SHANK
scene of the public sale the temptation was too strong when William Pauley, the auctioneer, invited Mr. Shank to "sell a few."
Many believe that the mayor's ability as an auctioneer helped him along in politics. His experience made him acquainted -with nearly everybody in Marion county.
Mr. Shank was the auctioneer when the bankrupt jewlery stock in this city was sold a year ago, and he and Mrs. Shank formed many friendships in Greenfield during the days of the ale.
ASKS MARRIAGE BE SET ASIDE
Another Step Taken in the Unusual
.. Case of Conner Against
Conner.
Another step has been taken in the very uncommon series of suits between George W. Conner and Delia M. Conner. The last is a suit filed to set aside the marriage of the couple, which occurred October
?*wt
5 1905.
The court experiences of this couple are interesting and back of them is a look into the provisions of the United States pension laws.
Mr. Conner is an elderly gentleman and lives at Richmond. Mrs. Conner in 1905 was Mrs. Delia M. Custer, of this city, a widow of a veteran of the civil war, and consequently a pensioner. Mr. Conner came to this city and the couple secured a marriage license and were married. Three years later they separated, and a few months later Mr. Conner was granted a decree of divorce, and it developed that at the time of the marriage Mr. Conner was in the care of a guardian, having on May 21, 1904, by the Wayne circuit court been declared of unsound
guardian. He was not restored to his property and the guardian discharged until November 10, 1909.
A petition was then filed to set aside the decree of divorce on the ground that Mr. Conner was technically of unsound mind at the time of the divorce proceedings, and the petition was sustained-in the Hancock circuit court. This left the couple man and wife again, and the suit filed Thursday is to set aside the marriage on the grounds that the bridegroom was of unsound mind, in the care of a guardian, and therefore incompetent to enter into a marriage contract.
The anxiety on the part of Mrs. Custer Conner to have the marriage set aside, it appears, comes from the fact that as the widow of Conner she can not receive the pension that was hers as the Custer widow. If, however, there was no marriage, she is yet the widow of the war veteran and has all the time been entitled to the pension, which stopped when the marriage to Mr. Conner, that is alleged to have been illegal took place.
