Greenfield Republican, Greenfield, Hancock County, 2 June 1910 — Page 2

"For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn, nor busy housewife ply her evening care. On children lisp their sires return, nor climb his knee, the envied kiss to share."

The above beautiful couplet from the Elegy was suggested to me recently when I was wandering through the old McCray cemetery near Warrington.

This old burial spot contains the bones of many of Hancock's best citizens of times past, and many who have paid the debt since

'Ramblers

Rounds" appeared in the columns of the Greenfield papers. Mr. Brooks was there at the time of my visit, erecting a beautiful shaft at the grave of Morgan Whisler and Lydia Whisler, his wife. They were parents of John and George Whisler, prominent citizens of Brown township.

The neat headstone of A. P. Jones marked the spot where one of the jolliest boys of old Brown, lies sleeping. Many times has the writer been a guest at his hospitable home. He left a widow, one of the good women, and seven children.,, The little girls are most them wives now. Cecil is Mrs. Oscar Suess, of Oklahoma, and Effie is, and has been for some time, the wife of Ralph Drysdale, of Henry county. "Mary has chosen the good part" and is an amiable young lady, a loving companion of her mother, and an efficient clerk at the general store of J. L. Justice at Wilkinson. The only boy is a man now, and is working away from home just at this time.

Stephen and Phinneas McCray were among the most prominent who always greeted the "Rambler" with a glad hand. I contemplated the uncertainty of life as I viewed their mounds of earth. John N. Martindale was another with whom I was familiar, and whose wisdom I have listened to in the long ago. His monument says, "Born 1819, died 1903." It says also "Jane, his wife, 1824-1896" which tells the story. They were the parents of Clay and Frank Martindale so well known by all our people.

Another says, "Emsley Julian, and Mary." La! I remember Uncle Emsley so well. He always stopped to speak kindly at Wilkinson, as he passed by. These were Doctor Julian's parents, who still lives at Wilkinson.

Why! here's J. A. McDaniel's marker. My, I never passed "Uncle Alec's" without stopping when on my way between Warrington andMarkleville. He was the father of the McDaniel boys of that vicinity.

Another old-fashioned stone covered with moss said, "Samuel B. Brown, born in Winchester, N. H. 1785," then "May 26, 1863." T'was told me that he was the father of Brown township.

The flowers were scarcely withered on the mound of earth of Jesse Slaughter, who met such a tragic death recently from a dynamite explosion, and recorded in the Reporter at the time. He was the young single son of Robert Slaughter, near Warrington, and a brother of Ed Slaughter, a young teacher in our schools till he became a benedict and a farmer at about the same time.

And there's Abigail McCray, the wife of Stephen McCray. "1864" it says. Goodness! just to think of the departed glory of Old Warrington, when we consider the decay of man's so-called achievements. "The hills, rock ribbed and ancient as the sun, the vales stretching in pensive quietness between. The venerable woods, the rivers that move in majesty, and the complaining brooks that make the meadows green, and poured around all old oceans gray and melancholy waste are but the solemn decorations all, of the great tomb of man."

Doctor Hanna was a familiar figure there and was well known all over this part of the globe. He was an energetic citizen, a prominent physician and many are the times I accompanied him on his drives at night, and to note the anxiety depicted on his face as he diagnosed a serions case, was a study. His clay has fallen back to mother earth, and beside it rests that of his wife, whose death by a Big Four train, is familiar history to many. His old mill which was so prominent when the doctor managed it, was consumed by fire prior to his death. Mr. Newsom gaA'e this mill a reputation for excellent breadstuffs •i when he was miller for Dr. Hanna.

But while it was rebuilt some time ago, it never attained to the prominence that attached in its balmy days when the famous "Suow Flake" was known everywhere.

The widely known Garriott Store has passed into history and it is known no more, yet no store in the county had so extensive a trade in those times. W. I. was the moving spirit.

There was Dr. William TreeB and aunt Matilda, so highly respected, I could write much about those estimable old people who have crossed over, but space forbids. Of course, jtfif Uncle Jake Masters, away above l^four score, Aunt Lizzie Trees and j' Annt Betsey Holliday, are old landv^|marks still existing who blazed the ""way over eighty years ago, good old {oiks in Iereal, who shall soon "rest

from their labors," and many good works shall follow them in just a little while.

John Thorp and Aunt Em, are still at the well known post of duty, and the fame of their place as a lodging, is still kept up, and there is little to mark the rapid strides of time but (Jncle John's whiskers. The big store and its contents are still judiciously managed, and they are among the most widely known residents of the place, now. Grandma Armstrong was the mother of Mrs. Thorp and Mrs. J. W. Newsom, of Warrington, also of Thomas Armstrong,of near there. She was well up in the nineties at her death and she was a remarkable character in many ways. She was extremely pious, and a woman of strong personality and a truly devoted wife, mother and neighbor.

J. B. Clark is a leading merchant there now, and has started a huckster wagon, being out on the road when I called. His long time righthand man, Mr. Campbell was doing the turn, as he has many of them at the same store.

Dr. Titus' slate was full, and at the bottom of the same it said, "Be back at 6 p. m." and I added "Maybe," for Doc, works at his profession in sea. son and out, and the people think that he cannot wear out.

Jacob Power is a hale old gentleman at the Clark store. He is eightyseven, and the father of Mrs. Clark, Mrs. James Carlton, George Power, Billy Power, of Wilkinson, and Walter Power, now of Kansas City. There is much more that could be said, but see how long this has grown.

While calling at Steve Harlan's, we saw the big premium steers which were going to market the next day. There were thirty-four in number and a finer bunch I think I have never seen in many a day. They were said to be export stock, and they looked it. They weighed over 1,300 pounds on an average, and the top price was paid—seven cents—by the buyers. This means considerably over $3,000 for this bunch, and on looking around we saw a fine bunch of hogs that would go sometime in June. Steve is there with the goods, as a farmer and a mighty square man on all lines. His enterprise is commendable as well as profitable. Speaking of prices of meats, I never could understand how it is that shipload after shipload of fine American cattle go every week to England—38 hundred last week—and yet the beef trust claiming all along that the "Scarcity of butcher stock makes prices high." I cannot see the consistency of this argument when so much American product goes constantly to foreign countries. Some one explain.

BEST HAIR TONIC

All Over America, the News of the Marvelous Dandruff Cures of Parisian Sage has Spread.

A few years ago there was introduced into America a cure for dandruff, falling hair and all scalp diseases.

News of the quick action of this wonderful invigorator spread rapidly. And today without any sensational or untrue advertising, Parisian Sage used extensively in almost every town in America. And what has produced this great demand? Simply this: Parisian Sage does just what we are telling the readers of the Reporter it will do.

We claim, and we back our claim with V. L. Early's money back guarantee, that Parisran Sage is the most invigorating and rejuvinating hair tonic. It cures dandruff, stops falling hair and itching scalp it makes the hair grow strong and vigorous, yet soft and lustrous. It is the only hair dressing that reaches the root bulb of the hair and destrays the dandruff germ.

And to the women who are reading this simple statement of fact, we want to say that that Parisian Sage works wonders with women's hair. It will turn dull harsh and faded hair into beautiful, radiant and lustrous hair in a few days, and is the most pleasant and satisfying dressing any woman ever used.

Drruggists everywhere and V. L. Early sells Parisian Sage for 50c a larsre bottle.

the King of all laxatives—Dr. King's New Life Pills—in our home and they have proved a blessing to all our family," writes Paul Mathulka, of Buffalo N. Y. Rasy, but sure remedy for all Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles. Only^Sc atM. 0. Quigley's.

Greenfield, Ind., May 30,1910. Mr. Editor:— As I noted the exodus of our citizens this day to Indianapolis seeking amusement, I wondered if Greenfield and Hancock county had not enterprise and ingenuity sufficient to hold a "Fourth of July" celebration that would be entertaining enough to hold our people at home.

Let me briefly suggest as an outline, an Industrial Exhibition for the Fourth, to be participated in by every township in the county, giving prizes to the township that can give the best exhibit.

Take for instance, let us have in the parade for that day one float loaded with the oldest men in the county, each armed with a reap hook, the same as the wheat was formerly reaped with, let the next float be the same— except it be with the old-fashioned grain cradle, the next one in line, let it be as near the old iron harvester, self rake and dropper reaper, ending that class .with the latest pattern of self binder.

Take as another class, an old time vehicle show combining the oldrockaway carriage, on down in each evolution of vehicles to the latest touring car or automobile run about.

Take another class, as the old tiffie cross road store on one float, then following that, let one or two of the modern department stores be represented.

Every business house in our city could make up a float including blacksmiths, tinners, tailors, bakers, butchers, and even the carpenters, shoemakers, and harness makers.

Let the outside townships contribute in all classes, and have judges to pass on the merits of each exhibit in each class, and give a prize to them.

For music—it would be necessary to have bands, and to make it worth their while, let's have a band contest for the bands of this county only, giving prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd best bands.

Have one or two good speakers, and evening of fireworks, let the grounds be some convenient place close to the city, and have a committee to take charge of it, and sell the privileges for that day to the highest bidder, which will yield a large revenue and help to pay the expenses.

There isn't a business house in the city but what on that day will do more business many times over, than to let the neighboring towns have the attractions and draw eur people away from home on the Fourth of July.

Let this be a step for our recently organized Commercial Club. If they cannot land shoe factories, they can at least let the balance of the county know that Greenfield is on the map other than on tax paying days.

It is also an opportunity for our tradesmen and artisans to advertise their wares in the procession of floats in many striking original and effective manners. It is an opportunity for profit, and also for pleasure. Let's turn the matter over to the Commercial Club, and let them see that every town and township in the county participates in ONE GREAT BIG NOVEL INSTRUCTIVE FOURTH OF JULY IN GREENFIELD.

Yours as a suggestion, "Yoi&g Scribe."

May 31, 1910.

To the Editor of The Reporter:— You are often mentioning in your paper about automobiles not obeying the law and for the common good is all right. Now let me call to our mayor's notice, that country boys are making it a business most every Saturday night racing out of town along East and West Main streets, and also North State street. "A square deal to all" is my motto.

And again, the farmer frowns at the automobile for scaring his horse. Then he gets an automobile behind him, the farmer most often in a two horse wagon, and lets the automobile honk and honk and often runs the machine in a ditch, trying to get around him, and perhaps the farmer will turn to the left in front of the machine as the machine is attempting to pass, causing danger in so doing. The farmer should be taught to always turn to the right and let the machine pass.

The owners of the automobiles are mostly white men and if the farmers act more courteous so will the autoists. The machine has come to stay and has rights here. A square deal to all and all will be happier.
