WILLIAM ZIKE IS AT AT

Former Resident of This City Promi

nent in Hancock County Affairs

Thirty Years Ago.

William Zike died Saturday evening at his home in Morristown after a brief illness. He was eighty-nine years old and was well and favorably known among the older people of this city and county. He came to Greenfield from Union township, Shelby county, and lived on South street, opposite the court house, later moving to his farm immediately south of town, now owned by W. H. H. Rees. Twenty-five years ago he removed to Morristown, his purpose being to engage in the banking business. Conditions arose that changed his plans and he purchased a farm of 400 acres near Sullivan, which he managed for several years and developed into one of the best farms in the country. The location so far from his home was inconvenient, and a few years ago he sold the farm and had since engaged in a brokerage business, taking an active interest also in the Morristown Elevator Company, the Union State Bank and other companies in which he was financially concerned.

Mr. Zike's ancestors were Germans. His grandfather was a soldier in the British army during the Revolution, and at the close of his compulsory service remained in this country. As a young man Mr. Zike engaged in farming, working at twentyfive cents a day until he saved enough money to buy for himself a small piece of land. He was always a hard worker, and never had any patience with "slip-shod" methods in farming or business. His word was recognized as a bond, and all his transactions strictly on the square.

Although the physical infirmities of old age prevented the activity of younger days his mental faculties were undimmed, and up until almost the hour of his death directed the conduct of affairs in which he was interested. Friday evening he directed one of his sons to plant some potatoes.

them and it must be done. Returning from the work the son said, "Father, if they don't do right you must not say I didn't do as you told me." With a smile the feeble old father replied, "I'll not be here to see them grow." It could be seen, however, that it was a satisfaction to him to know the work had not been neglected. So up to the very close of this unusually long and busy life he held to the policy, even in the smallest things, "Do it now, and doit right," which, practiced throughout the many years, had brought him a competence tbat had enabled him to always live in comfort, peace and plenty, generously assist his children from time to time as the occasion demanded, and to his family leave a liberal estate for the future.

Mr. Zike was well informed and of positive convictions, a man of affairs whose judgment was often sought by business men. He was a good citizen and encouraged any movement for the improvement of conditions in his community and state. He leaves a widow and six children, Mrs. S. S. Boots, Mrs. Frank Johnson, this city Robert Zike, Capac, Mich. Hannibal, Charles and Joseph Zike, of Morristown. Three children are dead, William R., Roscoe and Mrs. Sarah Carpenter. He was married twice. His first wife and the mother of his children, Mary Phares, died more than N thirty-five years ago. Mrs. Ann Linnville, who was left a widow soon after, with her daughter Belle went to live in the Zike family, which at that time consisted of several small children, and has ever been everything possible to them that a mother could be. She married Mr. Zike soon after they left this city, but the feeling that a stepmother was in the home never entered the pleasant domestic relations of the family. She and her daughter, Miss Linville, were the only members of the household at AX. the time of Mr. Zike's death.

The funeral was held at the Littie Blue River Baptist church, near Manilla Tuesday, morning and at his request the body was interred by the side of the grave of the wife and mother. \£'Robert, Charley and Lincoin Fair, of this city, were relatives of Mr. Zike, the late Robert Fair being a first cousin.

Former Resident of This City and Tele

graph Operator at Pennsylvania

Station Daring the War.

Arthur Perry Williams died at his late home at Bradford, Ohio, Thursday at 10 o'clock a. m., at the age of 83 years. His death was unexpected, though he had been in feeble health for some time. A message was received by Charles Downing about nine o'clock Thursday morning announcing that he was in a critical condition. Mr. Downing and son, Arthur, left immediately for Bradford, but Mr. Williams died before they arrived.

The deceased was born in Centerville, Wayne county. He was a telegraph operator in this city during the war and was agent for the Pennsylvania Railway Company here until 1878, when he was transferred to Bradford, where he remained with the company until he reached the retirement age about thirteen years ago when he retired on pay.

Mr. Williams was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and the Masonic order. He leaves a widow. Mr. and Mrs. Williams were the parents of three children, all of whom are deceased.

result there have not been as many people paying taxes in March and the first week of April as usual. This will make the final rush of taxpaying greater than heretofore. Persons who desire to avoid the rush and escape along stand in the line should make it convenient to pay their taxes at once. Unless there are more people pay taxes within the next two weeks than have been for the past two, the final rush will be fierce.

April's freckles are breaking out dandelions. In exact justice, if we charged the dry weather to the comet, we shall have to credit it with these welcome rains, also.

Firecrackers for the Fourth of July must be measured those that exceed a certain caliber are to be fire only in the country.

In 1909 the mortality among flying men was chiefly in France. Germany is taking its turn in the aviation death records of 1910.

A St. Louis court has ruled that title to a trolley seat rests in the one who gets it first. It depends on the size and pugilistic prowess of the getter.

A man asks for a divorce because his wife hasn't spoken to him for five years. Any man who will seek a divorce on such a plea doesn't deserve to have a wife.

George H. Williams, who has just died in Oregon, and who was an attorney general from 1871 to 1875, was not 'the last surviving member on Grant's cabinet." Ex- Senator James Donald Cameron, of Pennsylvania, who was secretary of war in 1876-77, is still alive, although very little has been heard of him in recent years.

Forced to Leave Home

Every year a large number of poor suffererers whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs are urged to go to another climate. But this is costly and not always sure. There's a better way. Let Dr. King's New Discovery cure you at home. "It cured me of lung trouble," writes W. R. Nelson, of Calamine, Ark., "when all else failed and I gained 47 pounds in weight.

THE RIGHT CHURCH ROT WRONG PEW

Indianapolis Couple and Their Exper

iences in Efforts to Secure a

Marriage License.

A couple came over from Indianapolis Thursday to secure a marriage license, and if any two people ever went to the capital city and acted as green as these two it has never been heard of. In the first place they wandered about the courthouse corridor and finally made a dive for the city treasurer's office. There the man said he wanted a license. Right now, the city officials are busily engaged issuing vehicle licenses and they thought that was what was wanted, and Mr. Ellis asked, "One or two horse?" "It's a marriage license we wTant," the woman replied and they were directed to the county Clei'k's office, where they again found trouble, when the bride to be was asked her residence. "Why, I live in Indianapolis," she innocently replied. "Nothin' doin' the clerk said, and returned the book to the shelf, as the couple turned about, with a what have done expression on their face.

Mr. and Mrs. Holding were married last October, when the bride was sixty-eight years old and the bridegroom sixty-five. The matrimonial path was not strewn with roses and a separation resulted after a few months of blissless married experience. Mr. Holding is a veteran of the civil war and receives a pension of twelve dola a on

Judge Mason was disposed to make the order for allowance so that Mr. Holding would not be too seriously inconvenienced.

DEATH OF MRS. SEARS

Mrs. Sears, widow of William Sears, died Thursday at the home of her son, A. G. Sears, in Anderson. Burial in this city Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Sears lived near this city for many years and was well known in this community.

Distributing Sorghum Seed. Elwood Barnard, of Indianapolis, is on his farm near Eden looking after getting the summer crops planted. He is also distributing free sorghum seed for farmers in Hancock and adjoining counties. The seeds are being placed with merchants in the towns of the counties. Thursday Mr. Barnard visited the towns of Willow, Wilkinson, Shirley, Knightstown, Charlottesville and Greenfield. The trip was made in an auto touring car and he was at home by four o'clock in the afternoon. This manner of distributing seed was in great contrast with the manner a few years ago when the distribution was made by a spring wagon conveyance.

Mr. Barnard will put out thirty acres of sorghum this year. Last year's product of the Barnard sorghum factory was the largest in its history and preparations are being made for a big business this year.'

SEES FIRST TIME IN FOUR YEARS

Successful Surgical Operation This

Week Restores Mrs. Rachael An

derson's Eyesight.

Mrs. Rachael Anderson is at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Oak S. Morrison, perhaps the happiest woman in Greenfield, as she is able to see for the first time in four years, the result of a successful surgical operation for the removal of cataract. The operation was performed Tuesday and Mrs. Anderson came home with her eyes in bandages and orders to keep them on a certain length of time.

Mrs. Anderson could not wait, however, and Thursday "got to peeping" and surprised her daughter by saying, "Allie, I see you for the first time in four years, and you don't know how glad I am." Mrs. Anderson is seventy-three years old and withstood the operation nicely.
