OBITUARY

Blanche Bernice Hudson, daughter of John and Eva Hudson, was born Sept. 4th, 1898, and died April 23rd, 1910, aged 11 years, 5 months and 18 days. She was the youngest and the last of a family of five children, two dying in infancy. Bertha, the eldest dying six years ago at the age of fourteen. Mary died at the age of ten, four years ago.

When death enters the home it is always sad, and for father and mother to say whieh one they were willing to give up would indeed be hard, but when it enters the home and takes the last and only one, then it is hard to say, 'Thy will be done and not mine.'' But we remember the blessed words of Jesus when he said, "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." He also took a little child and sat in the midst of them saying, "Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name receiveth me."

Blanche was surely one of such children. She had the most lovable disposition we ever saw in a child. She seemed as a flower that budded and bloomed here for a little while and had served its purpose by sending out its sweet influence on the hearts of those with whom she mingled and then was transplanted in the kingdom of God to finish the mission there that she had begun here.

During the last few days of her sickness when her schoolmates came to see her she wanted to be laid on the cot that she might be closer to them and enjoyed being with them, seemingly forgetting her afflictions. She loved all her schoolmates and JieaQher She had a mind to comprehend things far beyond one of her age. She loved to read good books and especially loved to read the

Bible, requesting, the night besore her death, some one to read the four^teenth. chapter of John, it being the chapter that had led to her conversion. She seemed to realize her condition and that she would not be here long.

When asked if she would like to be able to go to the the woods and gather flowers, she said, "I don't know, it is all right any way." It was said to her whether we live or die Jesus will take care of us. She replied, "Yes, we have a better home than this and we can all have one there if we live right here," putting so much stress on the words, "If we live right," showing that she fully understood what it took to gain that home.

It can truly be said, she lived a perfect life, never speaking evil of any one, never cross or complaining in her afflictions, enduring all with the same sweet disposition until the last, she had the same sweet smile for all. .She loved everybody. None knew her but to love her, but God loved her best and took her to enjoy that Tiome that she so much loved to read about in John 14, where it reads: "In my Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so I would haVe old you. I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am there ye may be also, and whither I go ye know and the way ye know." It seemed to be her great desire that all should gain that home.

4

We would say to father and mother that you have one more guiding star to point you to Heaven. Her sweet little hands are beckoning you to come. Your dear ones are sheltered there and may you so live that you will never lose sight of heaven. Blanche can never come to you, but yoil can go to her, where no goodbyes will ever be spoken. To her schoolmates and teacher we would say Blanche has gone from your midst," her seat at school will be vacant, but remember her exemplary life and follow her teaching. Think of her as being a flower transplanted in Heaven. One sweet flower .has drooped and faded, One uweet infant voice has fled,

Xhie mare brow the grave has shaded, -On* dear classmate now is dead. fi She has crone to heaven before us,

And our loss we deeply feel, j6ut'tisOod who has bereft us, Ke will mil our sorrows heal. Bit in *«W.an we hope to meet her Wherenofirewell tew isshed.

FOR DIVORCE

AND S9,000 HIM

Wife Makes Charges and Demands Share of Husband's $10,000 in Lands and Perssnal Property.

Mrs. Ada Florence Thornburg is the plaintiff in a suit for divorce and alimony filed in the circuit court Thurs day against Charles G. Thornburg. The plaintiff's attorneys are Jackson & Sample and Omer S. Jackson.

Mrs. Thornburg demands of the defendant $5,000 alimony and in the complaint alleges cruel and inhuman treatment that on divers occasions he became violently enraged and would curse the plaintiff and call her vile names that he would threaten her bodily harm that she became fearful and lived in constant dread of her life that the defendant would not allow the plaintiff enough to eat at times and has refused to allow her to kill chickens which she raised herself and the only chicken that was served on their table in a period of years was an.old setting hen that was killed by accident that she was not allowed to cook an egg for family use at all that the plaintiff's mother lived with her, and when the defendant was summoned for a jury in the Hancock circuit court, called her abusive names and said if he had onefourth of what his property was worth out of it the plaintiff and her mother could „take the balance and go to Hades with it that the plaintiff and defendant were married September 22, 1895, and separated April 20, 1910 that the defendant is the owner of property to the probable value of $10,000 that at the time of their marriage the plaintiff's father gave her $1,000 and at the time of her father's death she inherited $700, making a total of $1,700 that the defendant induced her to invest this money in the real estate and improvements in his name, wherefore the plaintiff prays the court that the bonds of matrimony existing be dissolved and held for naught and that the plaintiff be granted a decree of divorce and alimony in the sum of $5,000, and that her maiden name of Addison be restored. Mr. and Mrs. Thornburg live near Charlottesville.

The matter of an allowance pending the divorce suit by Mrs. Ada Thornburg against Charles G. Thornburg was heard in the circuit court Saturday. Examination for allowance was simply to establish the amount of property owned by the defendant, at about $6,000. The court granted Mrs. Thornburg an allowance of $150 for attorneys' fees and five dollars a week during the pendency of the case. Jackson & Sample and Omer S. Jackson are Mrs. Thornburg's attorneys and Cook & Cook represent the defendant.

Morristown Sun: As there are now a number of motor cycles in town owned by our home boys, and as there arise a great temptatation to test their speed and measure the speed one with the other on the streets do not forget boys that in so doing you may injure yourself and endanger the public, especially the children. Remember the speed limit by law is 8 miles inside the corporation line, and four miles in the business part of any incorporated town. The statement is made not so much as a criticism, as it is a caution and reminder to be careful.

Sheriff Cox Makes Discovery That Re* lates to the Recent Jail Delivery in This City.

Sheriff Cox, today, discovered a half dozen saws where they had been concealed in the floor of the county jail. The saws are of the kind used on steel and were no doubt placed there by Martin and Fletcher, the men who escaped from the jail about three weeks ago.

Martin was in jail awaiting grand jury action on the charge of burglary and Fletcher was a convicted prisoner to be taken to the Michigan City prison on the day of his escape The men left the jail through an opening they made by removing a cement patch in the stone floor of the cor-% ridor surrounding the cells. No trace of the men has been found.

ENGLISH HIM

Death of the British King Calk Incidents of the Part to Memory of Greenfield People.

The death of King Edward of England has caused many stories to be told in Greenfield of experiences in connection with English history. Mrs. R. J. Strickland, of Centerville, for many years a resident of the city and now visiting her son, Harry Strickland, has a distinct recollection, she said today, when of the late king's mother, Victora, became Queen of England.

It was in 1837 and Mrs. Strickland was a little girl seven years old. A picnic was being held in town and the little girl was anxious to attend, but her mother told her she must pick a a pan of currants before she could go. She did not take much pains with the currants and the result was a tanning" that Mrs. Strickland has not forgotten in the seventy-three years that have elapsed.

Lemuel Gooding remembers the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1850. He calls to mind that it was a joke that all the girls in Ametica wanted to kiss the future King of England.

YOUNG MEN ARE %W' OUT OF JAIL

Grand Jury Fails to Indict Derry and Williams and They Are Discharged From Custody.

The grand jury reported Friday afternoon and the members were discharged. Twenty-eight bills, it is understood, were returned, but these did not include Van Derry and Dan Williams, who with Cordia Martin, were arrested several weeks ago on the charge of burglary and in default of bail were in jail awaiting action of the grand jury.

A number of stolen articles was found in the possession of Williams, but he said he purchased the articles of Martin. The latter escaped from jail a few weeks ago, and it is said the grand jurors doubted the ability of the state to convict the young men on the evidence and to save the county the expense of the trials, and considering the fact they had been in jail several months, determined against indictment.

A warrant from Henry county was in the hands of Sheriff Cox for the arrest of Williams and Derry on similar charges in Knightstown. Accordingly the officers there were notified that the grand jury had not indicted them and that they were being held for them. They failed to come and the men were released Saturday morning.

THE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL

The Seniors of the high school are distributing their annual, a beautiful work of art and in every way complimentary to the class and its editors.

The book is liberally patronized by advertisers and is profusely illustrated with half tones of the students and faculty of high school.

The drawings by members of the class are particularly worthy and bring to public notice talent in this city that was not generally known to exist. The majority of these sketches are by Miss Lucy Hughes, and all of them original. Her "Faculty," represented by a shelf of books, was drawn with the shelf and books before, as represented. Her "Freshmen" is a pretty story in picture and this is one of the most valuable features of this class of work. It represents the little "Freshie" reaching to a shelf containing three jars of jelly representing the Sopohomore Junior and Senior classes. Another splendid drawing by Miss Hughes is the "Seniors" from the tower of the high school building, which is almost as perfect as a photograph would be. The Department of Music drawing is also by Miss Hughes.

The cover and the finis are the work of Burton Briney and show that the designer and artist possesses a talent that many would give much to possess. Emmett Choate made the drawings, "Sophies," "Juniors," and "Football," and they are of a character to add to the artistic beauty of the work and establish the fact that his talent is remarkable or his instructions have been most effective.

The credit for this excellently arranged and beautiful work is due almost entirely to the Senior class, the members having labored industriously and effectively"for its success.

The officers and staff included John Clark Binford, |editor-in-chief Raymond Orr, assistant Lucy M.Hughes, literary editor Alma Justice, Mae Moxley, Lillian Goble, Waldo Ging, Emmett Choate, Lester Foster, George B. Ramsey, Ralph Fisk. Carl F. Brand and Russell Strickland

Perhaps Mr. Binford, Miss Hughes and Mr. Strickland took the lead in the publication, although all the officers gave them every assistance when called upon. "An incident in India" by Lillian Goble is a pretty story of an evening in Calcutta, and "A Morning in the Metropolis" by Letta Binford, is a very entertaining description of ilfe in a big city.

Among the pages are happy hits on the different students and teachers, and paragraphs of special interest to 4 S

The book is indeed creditable to the Senior class, and while some few paragraphs might have been 'omitted without detracting the least from the book, it nevertheless may be termed a literary and artistic success. v:-A

Pleasant Surprise.

A number of the members and friends of the M. P. church gathered at the parsonage on East South street and -presented their pastor and wife with many good things for the table Friday evening.

Rev. and Mrs. Howe highly appreciate the kindness manifested in tl^is most pleasant affair.

"DRY BEER" TO BE DESTROYED

Judge Will Sparks Issues Orders to Rush County Sheriff.

The eleven cases against as many owners of "dry beer" parlors at Rushville, on bench and search warrants sworn out by city marshal Harlow, were heard in the Rush circuit court Tuesday by Judge Sparks. The cases were taken up in regular order, the principal testimony being that of State Chemist Macabee. Samples of the goods seized were used in the examination, and the testimony of the State chemist showed that the supposed "dry beer" found in all the places, with three exceptions, contained from three to five per cent, alcohol.

Deputy Prosecutor Morgan, in his plea for the State, said that under the law it ia illegal to sell any malt or vinous liquors, and that the State chemist had testified that any beverage containing any proportion of alcohol was a malt liquor. Judge Sparks took the cases under advisement and on Wednesday decided against the defendants. The judge instructed Sheriff Bebout to destroy the goods stored in the basement of the jail, more than five thousand pints 91 all., J&<

Judge Sparks refused to quash the grand jury indictment found against nine of the defendants, and ruled that they must stand trial at this term of court.

The situation in this city recently was almost as serious as at Rushville but here the men who were caught with the malt and vinous goods in their possession were forced to send them back to the brewery from which they had been obtained. The dealers gladly agreed to do so rather than have the goods emptied info the sewer. *,
