ASSESSORS GET THEIR WARRANTS
Cost of Listing Hancock County Prop
erty for Taxation Amounts to
Considerable.
There was but one bid submitted at the special meeting of the county commissioners Monday for the bridge in Blue River township—that of the Greenfield Bridge and Sewer Company, $340, and the contract was let to this company.
Three bids were presented for the construction of a cement arch on the Marion-Hancock line, as follows: G'f'ld. Bridge & Sewer Co. §625.00 John W. Scott 650.00 Forest Monger 715.00
The contract was let to the Greenfield Bridge and Sewer Co. David Loehr was the only bidder for the construction of walks and driveways at the county heating plant and he received the contract on his bid of §95.00.
At this meeting of the commissioners the bills of the township assessors and their deputies were ordered paid. It amounts to quite a large sum of money.

Henry Winslow Who Served Nearly
Four Years of Early Manhood
in Army.
Henry Winslow, a civil war veteran, was given a post card shower and auprise dinner at his home on North Wood street Tuesday in honor of his 63d. birthday anniversary. He received over two hundred cards and his grand children presented him with a fine book in which to place them.
He also received other presents. At noon he was given the seat of honor at a table loaded with all the cheering viands of the season and was surrounded by his children, grandchildren and other relatives. While the event was a surprise to Mr. Winslow it was none the less enjoyable and was much appreciated by him.
Mr. Winslow gave almost three and one-half years in the service of his country during the civil war although he was but a boy when the great struggle was endect, being under eighteen years old. He is now one of the youngest soldiers of the civil war in the county.
SHIRLEY.
The comet scare and the late heavy rains have gotten some people guessing as to the outcome. Of course, Halley gets the blame.
Mrs. Harvey Ogle, of Anderson, visited her mother, Mrs. Chas. Davidson over Sunday.
The Republicans held their primary election here Saturday. It seems from the list of candidates that there is some mighty good men to vote upon in this fall election.
Otto Duncan, who has been a very successful moulder of radiators, was promoted to the overseer of the radiator department in the Shirley Radiator & Foundry Co.
Albert Duncan, fireman of the Big Four Railway, was home a short time last Friday. He is located in Wabash at present.
Mae Judkins, Shirley's postmistress was at Anderson Friday visiting her friend, Pearl Penn.
John Boyer and wife, of Dunkirk, are visiting his mother, Mrs. Judkins. Wouldn't it be better to have government saloons than so much booze handled in the blind tiger way?
Mrs. David Coleman, who was^ stabbed in the throat last Sunday by her husband, is getting along fine under the conditions, but for awhile she was in a very critical condition.
J. W. Long, who recently moved from Warrington with his stock of goods, has opened up for business in the room made vacant by the Leisher meat market.
Ross Hodson, our farm implement man, is the busiest man in Shirley. It just keeps him busy all the time, as this is his harvest time.
A1 Chew, Kennard's Big Four section foreman, was in Shirley Saturday evening.
Shirley's First National Bank is having the front painted, which certainly adds to the appearance of the bank.
Rev. Loveless, pastor of the M. E. church at Maxwell, was in Shirley this week calling on many friends.
John Hardin, east of Eennard, was in Shirley Saturday. Shirley neetls more houses, as every house is filled and more needed to accommodate the people coming to Shirley to live.
Miss Agnes Walsh has accepted a ^position at the telephone exchange.
Law Passed In Ohio If Signed by Gov
ernor Will Cut Off Trips
to Cincinnati.
Is the Sunday excursion with its inevitable shoe-box lunch and throngs of sightseers to be abolished?
The Ohio general assembly has passed a bill which needs only the signature of Gov. Harmon to deprive the railroads of the privilege of running Sunday excursions or even granting special rates for any occasion. The bill, in event it becomes a |law, will end all the cheap rates which Indiana people take advantage of in summer trips to Dayton. Cincinnati, Cedar Point, or even passing through the state enroute to Niagara Fall.
IE AT
Annual Commencement Exercises of
the Grammar and High
Schools.
The Westland high school building was the scene of a pleasing event Friday night—the graduation exercises of the high school and the eighth grade of Blue river township. The address was by W. P. Dearing and his subject was "If I Were You."
The eighth grade class roll was Earl Bennett, Halcyon Hasting, Deasa May Pusey, Hilda Coffin, Fayette Edwards, Lowell Toms, Roy White, Deah Holding and Paul Leisere, and the high school, Elice May Coffin, Chelsea Romack, Grant Holt, Hazel, Parnell, Lawrence Catt, Hazel Leone Stanley and Alma Jackson.

Reception for Minister.
Dr. Perry Powell, who has been spending several weeks in the west and northwest, has returned and will be here for a brief time, when he will go to Washington and New York, he having some matters relating to Grail work in the east that will command his attention. Dr. Powell is highly elated with the success that attended his recent trip, as he was able to arouse a deep interest in the Grail movement and there is a great field for it in that section.
A reception will be tendered Dr. Powell at the home of W. A. Miller and wife, and he will no doubt make an interesting talk concerning the work he has been doing.—Tipton Tribune.
Can Rob Their Husbands. Wives can now rob their husbands, with impunity, or by any other means that they wish to employ, provided conditions are right.
Recently in one of our neighboring counties a man appeared in police court and said that his wife had robbed him during the night of $11.
His honor called the woman before him, heard her story, and told her to go and sin some more and to become an example to all her sisters who have husbands professing chronic impecuniosoty.
Must Close Buffet at Columbus. Fletcher M. Noe, of Indianapolis, debuty grand president of the Indiana State Aerie of Eagles, was here today, says a special from Columbus, and inspected the books of the local aerie. He also warned the aerie that as this is "dry" territory no buffet will be permitted. The aerie had been given permission by the Grand Aerie to operate a buffet until May 1, that it might dispose of the wet goods on hand.
Ten Cases Dismissed.
Ten cases in the criminal court against Greenfield men for gambling were dismissed Monday on the written nolle of the prosecuting attorney, and there were two pleas of guilty with fine of five dollars and costs each.

TORN BY
Horses Receive Shock But Escape Ser-
ions Injury During Electrical
Storm.
Lightning struck the barn of Thomas H. New northwest of this city Friday night, tearing out the end of the barn and otherwise damaging it but not setting fire to anything.
The bolt came down through the building near some horses which were s^audiog tied in the bank part of the bam. The horses were evidently severely shocked and by some means were hoisted up four or five feet on to the floor of the barn, where they were standing still tied when found.
Greenfield Man at Cambridge City
Sunday Witness to a Ghastly
Discovery.
vid Ellis, city treasurer, was a witn&gs to the scene of a ghastly discover^vSunday afternoon near Cam bridge City. Mr. Ellis made a trip over there to see some friends and arrived there just as the finding of the body had been reported. It was face down in an abandoned hog stable and in the opinion of the undertaker had been there several months. There had been no person about the stable since November, except two tramps who were seen to come from it a few days ago, presumably having slept there in ignorance of the fact of the body in one of the stalls.
The body appeared to be that of a boy about eighteen years old but was so decomposed that any means of identification were removed.
A Shower of Cards.
Thursday, May 19th was the sixty-eighth birthday of Henry B. White, of Blue River township, and his neighbors and friends remembered him by sending birthday greetings to the number of eighty-eight post cards. When Brother White went out to get his mail on Thursday I guess he was a little surprised for once. Possibly a tear of joy might have been seen. At night his friends of Brown's Chapel gathered at his home and held their regular prayer meeting, and to each one he extended a welcome hand.
Why do we wait until our friends are laid away to say good things about them and bring our tokens of love. They that crucified the Savior did this much, when they said, "Truly this was the Son of God." We have known Brother White for many years and feel safe in saying he is without an enemy, straight in all his dealings, and as we believe, a true christian gentleman. Brother White received many cards from men of his acquaintance who do not often take part in those things, and to those and all others Brother White appreciates their kindly remembrance. D. C.

THINKS WELL OF RIS JERSEY COWS
Farmer Sells $24 Worth of Cream
From Three Cows in a Month With
N^'Plenty for Family Use.
Jacob Leonard, of rural route six, who has been raising and dealing in Jersey cows for many years, was in Greenfield Tuesday, and when asked about his Jersies, he said that a dealer in cream from Cumberland tested the milk from his cows recently, and that the lowest test was seven per cent cream, and the best was nine per cent. The best was made by a Bobcock tester.
Mr. Leonard has two cows, one a full blood and the other a half-breed, which give nine gallons of milk per day, according to weight. From three fresh cows and a stripper last month, he sold $24 worth of cream, in addition to supply a family of five persons.

GOOD NEWS
Many Greenfield Readers Have Heard It and Profited Thereby.
"Good news travels fast," and the thousands of bad back suffers in Greenfield are glad to learn that prompt relief is within their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here is an exampld worth reading.
D. E. Jackson, 211 E. Osage streot, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I was in bad shape three years ago when 1 began the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Quigley's drug stoiv. 1 suffered from a severe attack of kidney complaint and my back was so lame that it was almost impossible for me to get about. I could hardly get up after sitting for awhile and stooping or lifting was a dilllcult oporation. I had trouble from the kidney secretions, the passages being too frequent both day and night. In some way Doan's Kidney Pills wore brought to my notice and I began their use. The ^contents of two boxes entirely relieved the lameness in my back and corrected the trouble with my kidneys. I publicly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills at that time and as I have had no serious attacks of kidney complaint since, I am glad to give them my re-endorsement."
