Complete the Year's Work and Turn
Their Books and Papers Over to
County Assessor.
The township assessors Monday completed their work for 1910, and turned their books over to County Assessor Chappell. Among things of general interest is the report of the number of acres in grain in the county last year—wheat, 27,373 acres corn, 51,162: oats, 14,819.
The assessors were unable to estimate on the average for 1910, as they are not required to secure these statistics as was formerly done. So far as they observed they guess the average at about the same as 1909.
These books and papers will go to the auditor's office and there they will be used in the preparation of the tax duplicates, an arduous task that requires many months of labor.

Yonng Arkins, Who Was Struck by

After death the surgeons made a complete examination of the injuries and found there was at no time any chance of saving his life.

RULING IN WHISKY CASE.
Martinsville Judge Overrules Motion to Quash Affidavit.
Judge J. W. Williams, at Martinsville, made an important riding in regard to liquor transactions when he overruled the motion of D. E. Watson, attorney for Roy Rigish, a druggist there, to quash the affidavit charging Rigish, who is a licensed pharmacist, with makiag a sale of whiskey to Lewis Wein on March 12. Attornes Watson argued that the affidavit charging any criminal intent is wrong under the statute of Indiana that under the Beardsley law a licensed druggist or pharmacist cannot be prosecuted for selling whisky in any quantity to any one except a minor, an habitual drunkard, or for selling on Sunday.
The court overruled the motion and reviewed the matter at some length. The gist af the ruling was that the whole of the Beardsley act must be construed together, in order to determine the intent of any one section or portion of the act. The court said that a licensed druggist could not be prosecuted and convicted for selling under Section 1 of the act standing alone, but Section 2 must be construed in connection, which provides how a licensed pharmacist or druggist may make sales of intoxicating liquors.
Don't Write on Mail Packages. Word has been received at the post office that the fine for placing writing in packages has been increased by the government. Heretofore, there was a penalty of ten dollars for anyone who committed the offense. Then it. was only necessary to hunt out the offender, and if he ackowleged his mistake, make him pay the ten dollars. Then the postoffice inspector could attend to that.
But now the fine has been raised from ten to one hundred dollars and has become a statute. In case of an offense under that law, it is now necessary to bring the offender up before the court and the case is heard. If he if found guilty, the judge may impose a fine as great as one hundred dollars and not less than ten dollars. Packages are included in all third and ,1 fourth class mail.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Sample is each suffering from a severe attack of grip.

MORRISTOWH BOYS GOT IHTO TROUBLE
Started for a Ride and Horse
Ran
Away—Marion Township
Accident.
John Crofting, age 7, and his brother, Chester, age 5, sons of Frank Crofting, of Morristown, got into serious trouble Friday by using a horse and buggy owned by Noble Bassett to take a ride. Mr. Bassett had left the rig standing at the elevator and the boys climbed in and started the horse down the street by using the whip. Naturally enough it ran away and the elder lad tried to jump from the rig, but his clothing caught and he was dragged for some distance in this perilous position, but luckily escaped serious injury, as the horse was caught by Owen McCray, a son of Dr. R. S. McCray, near the latter's office. The younger boy was in the buggy when the horse was stopped.
Robert Graham was slightly injured in an accident which occurred Friday morning while at the home of his brother in Marion township. Mr. Graham was driving a team of horses and they became frightened, throwing him off the wagon and running over his feet. He was able to give chase in a buggy that happened to be at hand and captured the runaways before they had done any damage.

THE CENSUS WORK IS HEARING ITS END
Census Officials are Being Flooded
With Newspaper Blanks That
Have Been Filled in.
Several hundred people, who do not know that they have been listed in the United States by census enumerators, have called on census officials and complained that they have been over-looked. The blanks sent out from Washington and published in the newspapers, requesting persons who had not been interviewed by enumerators to send their name and addresses to the local office of the Census Department, have been returned in large numbers, and, while there are several who have not been listed, the majority of those who think they have been overlooked are booked along with other residents of their respective districts. In cases of this kind the desired information has been supplied by acquaintances. "OBITUAliY

and trials and a soothing touch for a
wounded heart. At the completion of her high school education she found her health to be failing and upon consulting a physicians, she was pronounced a victim to that dreaded disease, tuberculosis. Everything was done for her that loving hearts and gentle hands could do, but the great God that gave her to us was calling her home.
When she was stricken with her last sickness and when she felt the end was near she made all her funeral arrangements and bid her friends and relatives good-bye and asked the Lord, in whom she put all her faith, to take her home to meet her friends who, in her last moments, she said she could see on the other shore.
She was a member of the Eden Lodge D. of R., which had charge of the funeral and laid her body to rest in the Eden cemetery to await the resurrection day, but her spirit went to Heaven where she asked us to so live that when the great summons comes she will be there to welcome us.
Not lost is our darling, just resting a while, To awaken again in the light of His smile We've laid our dear Ruby beneath the green sod,. We've laid her away in the garden of God. We'll see Ruby again in the sweet bye and bye. She will greet us with joy in those mansions on
