The directrrs of the McCarfcy Tele-

Eoard

hone Company put in anew switchat our exchange, Monday. The service is much improved.

Byron, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Mack Crider, who has been sick, is much improved.

Mr. Editor—It seems like old times to perambulate along the old paths of long ago when "Ramblers Rounds" were familiar in Greenfield papers. But I chanced along one of thrse familiar highways last week, and stopped r„t the same places where "Rambler" was wont to stop years ago. It produces a feeling of loneliness to see strange faces where those of old friends smiled up at one a longtime ago.

However, the signs of progress are on every hand, and of course, prosperity. The smile that won't come off, is worn by the wideawake farmer of today, for he is getting good prices and is pleased.

The road running through "Grant City,'' Henry county, is one of the most attractive over which I have traveled lately. The little village with its apple and cherry blossoms galore, the quaint cottages, the little general store of Mr. Garner, with its usual quota of loiterers—not loafers— for they all work over there, and have their truck gardens and chickens, Besides Mr. Edwards runs the big tile mill and employs several hands. The lilac fragrance floated across the road from a mammoth bush that I plucked a boquet from twenty years ago, and it seemed but "only a little while" since I took note of passing events in that vicinity. I recalled some of those who read the vaporings of yo'ur deponent, but they were gone over, I was told. But the same old haunts, exceptlthe Doc McKillip corner, which has entirely disappeared, looked much the same. "Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush." could have emanated from this place, but of course it didn't. The "Deserted Village" in many respects reminds one of the good old souls that have answered the call, to

'Come up higher." Sweet Auburn, lovliest village of the plain, where health and plenty cheers the laboring swain" could have referred to this selfsame spot of long times past, if Goldsmith had lolled and rested neath the elms on the banks of Montgomery creek. The picturesque landscape stretches far away each direction, and the sound of "Wo haw Nance" was wafted to the bench in front of the store.

Beginning a couple of miles east of the hamlet, the road splits one of God's most favored spots, and the elegant homes of the thrifty, dot the roadsides all along. Lew Collins lives on this road, and there are few people that have such neat surroundings as Lew and wife. Neat as a pin, and tidy to a fare-you-well is good enough, and it is all of that. Mrs. Collins is a sister of my long time friend, Milt Judge, who has gone on before. Just to the west of Mr. Collins is another equally as attractive home, that of Albert Bridges. I knew Albert when he was a "little tinyshaver' at the home of his father north of Warrington. But "La" time works wonders, and Albert is a proud father and two of them the cutest little twin girls, Norma and Dorothy, shy and timid, but giving great promise of discarding just enough of that to imitaie their mother, who, while not demonstrative, is one of the model wives and mothers of the land, whom Solomon says "Her price is far above rubies."

I have partaken of their hospitality more than once, and always had the satisfaction of knowing that theirs was true sociability. Mrs. Bridges is a sister of Mrs. Collins. Mr. Bridges has lots of good stock of all kinds, and just at this time, he has a splendid farm horse that he would sell, also a fine black driving mare that weighs 1,250 pounds, only six years old, for sale. They are bargains.

George Judge and his wife, Grace live just north of the 'City" and the residence and its environment speak for themselves as to an ideal country home. Jenice and Jewel are little tie twin girls in this home, and they lighten it up for Grandpa Steve Harlan when he comes, as well as for everybody else. Mr. Judge is a brother of the two ladies mentioned above.

Charles Manlove, just west of the village, occupies the old Manlove homestead, a splendid country home, with everything that conduces to the happiness of the occupants. Howard, the young hopeful, makes a hand and the way he manages the stock and "drives the team afield" is a caution. The daughter, who was a little bane in arms only a short time ago,—seems but a few months, since she romped about the farm with papa, and pulled the cat's tail by the "old kitchen stove," but time has changed all that, and she is now mistress of her own domicile, she being Mrs. June Casey. She was the Miss Lucy Manlove that the Reporter said was so intimately known in this city, in its comment on the marriage. Mrs. Casey is a niece of "our" Miss Lucy Manlove.

Wheat and clover, as well as the young oats, never looked better at this time of year, and it is said that the freeze has damaged it but little, if any, in this section. Some fields of corn were being planted—perhaps a little premature, as father used to say, "finish planting by May 10th

and you are never too early nor too late." Shirley's big new water tower can be seen for miles, and looks quite imposing. Shirley is on the map good and stvong this year, her factories running full time, and not a vacant house in the town.

Society Events.

The Plus-Ultra class, of Willow, held their fourth business meeting with Miss Maud Parker, W. H. Welborn and wife on Wednesday evening of last week, which was a grand sue. cess, there being much interest manifested in their new work. Those in attendance were Misses Goldie Thomas, Blanch Harlan, Zula Padget, Sina Shipley, Ella Young and their class patron, Chas. E. Parker and family.

Curry, §500 J. Ward Walker, §500 Henry Fry, §500. Others said for various reasons they were not ready to offer their subscriptions at that time and suggested that the meeting adjourn to meet Friday night, and a motion to that effect carried.

Mr. Curry suggested that a committee be named to solicit snbscriptions from men who in the very nature of things would be expected to help in the undertaking and who, owing to business and other engagements, are unable to be at the meetings. Accordingly, the board of directors of the club, after the meeting, appointed a committee of the following men: J. W. Cooper, James Thomas, John Moore, W. B. Bottsford, F. W. Meek, and Henry Fry, and this committee instructed to report at the meeting Friday evening.

It is generally considered over town this is Greenfield's great opportunity and there is every reason to believe the money will be raised this week, and before the coming fall that the city will more than have recovered its old time prosperity.

CHARLOTTESVILLE.

Mrs. Nellie Lane opened up. a first class ice cream parlor and and lunch counter and will appreciate the patronage of our people.

Rev. W. H. Gray and family are now located at the parsonage and the first sermon preached by Rev. Gray indicates a worthy man and an interesting speaker. We welcome them to our town and trust their labors here may prove a blessing to tur community as well as a pleasure to themselves.

Dr. J. P. Julian and wife, of Wilkinson visited his brother, R. M. Julian, last Thursday.

Of those who wrote for common school diplomas on April 16th there were only two that failed in the township, which speaks well for the labors of the teachers.

There was a surprise party given Mrs. James Herkless, on Saturday eve April 23 at which there were several guests present and refreshments were served.

Arthur Burk, of Indianapolis, visited Mrs. Nellie Lane on Sunday last. Joseph Goddard, of Hartford City, was here last week visiting Margaret Burk.

Clyde Julian had the misfortune to break one of the bones of his arm last Friday by falling from a hay mow while playing with a number of other boys.

Mearl Wilson and family visited Eldon Outland on Sunday. Lawrence Cox has gone to work for his uncle, Thomas Cox near Westland.

Donald Peacock has been sick for several days with a severe sore throat but is now better.

Several persons living here witnessed the sad accident which resulted in the death of a gentleman from Indianapolis, by being thrown from a fast running automobile just east of town Sunday evening.

Charles Evans, Oscar Weeks, and Frank Weeks and their families with with Mrs. Margaret Pressnall, were visiting Asa Sample and family at New Castle Sunday.

Mrs. Margaret Pressnall spent several days last week visiting Albert Williams and Will Orr's, of Route 9.

Uncle Zach Fries has been considerably under the weather for several days.

Mrs. George Herkless and Mrs. Bert Herkless were shopping at Knightstown Monday.

Will Carroll, of Shirley, was in town on business IpstMonday.

"Rambler" first visited the locality a farm near Elwood, so I wrote them first described, two young girls sent in items from "Snyder" to the Republican, and did it well. They were Misses Clora Jackson, and Anna Hastings. Miss Jackson is now Mrs. Noah Hamilton with a family and the latter is Mrs. Perry Morris with four

or five bright children. Ah, but time home, she told me about her pet lamb, flies, and flying, leaves her mark be- pet pig and pet chicken. This of course was very interesting to me and even more so when we arrived and she ran to bring "Jerry" the little lamb. With a scream of delight she bounded in the door with Jerry at her heels.

A Trip To The Country.

must tell you what a delightful day

spent in the country last Tues

day. My uncle and his family live on

when

was coming. They drove in

to meet me at the station. My cousin, Enid, who is just seven years old, brought her eggs to trade them at the grocery store. We were very glad to see one another again and on the way

Pretty soon it began to rain so the two oldest boys, Clarence and Lyman, had to quit the plow handle and come to the house. We had quite a merry time as the boys popped corn, then Enid and Lyman played for me their lessons on the piano. Five years ago when Lyman was eight years old he was playing in the street, a horse ran over him and mashed his iinger, it is off at the first joint still it does not hinder him from playing. He gets up early in the morning while his mind is fresh and practices before breakfast.

In the afternoon, the rain cleared away and Dwight, who is three years older than Enid, invited me to go with him to hunt the eggs. Enid took her lamb along and when we reached the woods she became very much frightened for fear Jerry would run off with the other sheep, but not so, he only stopped long enough to say "Howdy-do" as it were, then trotted after bis little mistress. All the sheep and lambs followed us with a loud chorus of "baas."

We stopped long enough to gather some wild flowers by the way. The turkeys were very tame as we gathered the eggs and returned to the house.

While Enid and Dwight were in the other room they were talking together and her part of the conversation amused me very much. She was saying, "When I went to town I saw a girl and she had a hat on that looked sensible. It was a small hat set upon her head and it was real sensible. It didn't look like a great big dish pan."

I thought as I watched the children playing together how contented and happy they were.

Farm life makes an ideal atmosphere in which to raise children. They are not always wanting to run about with other children, especially on the streets, where their associations are not ahvays the best. In the country they can freely commune with nature and nature's God. "Green fields and running brooks" present enjoyable pastimes for the growing youth. These thoughts have come vividly before me during my brief visit to the country. It has given me a desire to present an urgent plea in our own community.

I appeal to older ones who remember with joy a time perhaps when they have roamed at will in the country. Will you not make it possible during the coming summer to get as many boys and girls from the city into homes in the county at least for a few weeks, where they, too, will ever remember the pleasure which they derived from a trip to the country.

MAXWELL.

W. E. Loveless made a business trip to Indianapolis last Wednesday. I Fremont Gant has enlarged his bakery and installed machinery for making bread. Hereafter the ma- -s chine kind as well as hand made will be sold.

Lorenzo Jackson was given a birthday party Friday last. A number of 4 his little friends attended and all had an enjoyable time.

A goodly number of people at- if tended the sale of household goods of the late David Henry Saturday, When the crowd entered the front room to see some goods sold, the floor gave way in the way in the center going clear down. The cause of the trouble was supposed to be dry rot.

Mr. Earl Duckett is the new janitor at the M. E. Church. On Thursday evenings the scripture will be studied which composes the following Sabbath school lesson at the M. E. church. All are cordially invited to come and bring your bibles.

We fear the fruit is hopelessly damaged by the freezes of the past week. Master Raymond Loveless is still quite poorly.

James Pratt's had a family reunion Sunday last on account of his daughter, Florence, Mrs. Charles Weed and family leaving in a short time to make their home tn North Dakota. Among other guests Henry Shepler and family attended.
