STOP PUT TO FAST DRUG

Officers Arrest Several Autoists

Monday afternoon a quietus was put on the reckless and fast driving of automobiles through this city, and required only a few arrests to do the work. News travel fast and it was not long after the first arrest until the automobiles and "go-devils," as some call the motorcycle, were passing through town at a sensible speed.

Early in the afternoon it became evident that machines on the way from the races at Indianapolis were going to cause trouble unless an example was made of the first offenders. Accordingly special officers were assigned to assist the marshal and when the process of only 'touching the high places" was begun the driver was hailed and taken into custody. Seven arrests were made during the afternoon.

Two were discharged, four fined, including one motorcyclist, and one escaped while the officer that made the arrest was at a telephone. The fine assessed in each case was one dollar, except Charles Culter, of Richmond, the motorcyclist, who acknowledged he was riding as fast as his machine would go, and he paid $2 fine. Including the costs the total amount in each case was $12, except the last, which was $13. The affidavits were made by the prosecuting attorney, Edward F. Quigley. All the cases were heard by Mayor Myers.

Money paid in fines and costs goes to the city, except the prosecutor's fee of five dollars and the officer's fee. Under the new Jlaw the mayor does not receive any fees whatever. All the men arrested Monday were strangers. Saturday evening Mayor Myers arrested Marion Texter, of this city, on North State street, where he was sending an automobile at a speed beyond the lawful fifteen miles an hour. Texter was taken before Special Judge Charles L. Tindall and fined one dollar and costs.

The officers have determined to stop the fast and reckless driving by either strangers or local people and have notified several home drivers to use the same care as required of transients. Signs are being posted at the city limits on all the roads warning drivers of vehicles of the law!

All a driver needs to do to avoid arrest is to keep on the right side of the street and go at a reasonable speed. Residents of State and Main streets, have been greatly annoyed by fast driving and families kept in constant fear for the safety of children.

Another Memorial Day has come and gone, the day on which the entire country honors its patriotic dead. It is a day set apart as a legal holiday by the entire nation and there is a general suspension of business everywhere. Each year Memorial Day finds the number of the old veterans who are able to march to the graves of their comrades who have passed on, smaller than before. It will not long until the last of them will be sleeping in 'the low green tent whose curtain never outward swings."

Greenfield and Hancock county people have always been a patriotic people and they never fail to observe the day in a proper manner. Monday was no exception to the rule. The county offices, except the clerk and sheriff, banks, barber shops and all other places cf business were closed the entire day. The postoffice was closed the greater part of the day.

Owners of autos, carriages and other vehicles kindly donated them to the old veterans who were unable to march to the cemetery. The parade was formed in the afternoon at noon at 2 o'clock north of the court house. George Musson, of Ohio, was the orator of the occasion and made a patriotic address.

The Grand Army and W. R. C. marched to the Bradley M. E. church where the following program was rendered:

Music by the Choir. Prayer. Song by Quartette. Reading of Orders. Reading of Proclamation, by Slifer.

Many traveling men are staying all night at the Columbia because they can secure good accommodations there at much less expense than at Indianapolis. It is a common thing for traveling men making Greenfield to come over from the Claypool and other leading hotels of Indianapolis and spend the night at the Columbia. A good hotel is a good thing for a city, and a good hotel man will make a good hotel. Mr. Lynch knows his business perfectly. He is doing a good business at the Columbia.

THIS FACTORY

Fertilizer Plant That It Is Proposed To

Locate In This Community Said

To Be Sanitary.

A few days ago a representative of a company which manufactures machinery

7?or

making fertilizer out of

of the bodies of dead animals was in Greenfield with a view of working up a buyer for such a plant to be installed in this community. It is claimed for this plant that it reduces the bodies of animals to fertilizer in such a way as not to constitute nuisance. The process is said to be perfectly odorless and sanitary. Similiar plants are in use many places and they are conducted in such a way as not to be objestionable. These plants are said to be money makers for the owners. The equipment is said to be made with a view of removing all the objections to such plants.

Wagons are constructed so that diseased animals can be transported without danger of spreading the disease. There is some talk of organizing a stock company. A plant complete will cost about $10,000.
