One Woman to Another...

Uncle Sam is a most appreciative member of the world's family. He'll buy anything from a Hottentot's boomerang to a Worth gown if it suits him, and he'll pay the price. This thought came to me strongly a day or so since. I had just stopped at the Ayres leather goods counter in quest of a small fiber suit case when a young man at my side asked for a Mark Cross traveling bag. In a vague way I knew of the brand and associated it Avith London, but had never thought of just why am English product should have crowded its way to the front among the many good products of America.

Being in a curious mood—my normal condition—I waited till the young man had departed with his Mark Cross kit bag and then asked the salesman why gbods of this one Englishman's make should be singled out for such favoritism. After a moment's hesitation he answered: "I suppose it is because Mark Cross goods are ^always as good as he can make them. I never saw in any a poor piece of leather, and never but once a questionable piece of workmanship."

The recommendation of the ExMayor George W. Duncan for postmaster settles the contest which has extended over several months. It was generally understood from the start that Congressman Barnard felt very friendly to Mr. Duncan for the reason that many years ago when the present congressman was a young lawyer just beginning to practice, Mr. Duncan then Prosecuting Attorney for the judicial district composed of Hancock and Henry counties, appointed him deputy for Henry county. Mr. Barnard demonstrated in .this appointment of Mr. Duncan, his appreciation of that favor which meant a great deal to him when a young lawyer. The contest for the postoffice Appointment in this city was different in many ways from former contests. There were more applicant* than, nsual. The applicants, while oonfloed to Republicans, were not confined to what is commenly called

w.

political workers. Several of them were business men who have not done much in party organization but. all seemed to have support enough to entitle them to consideration, and make them a fair showing. The lack of organization was another peculiar condition which prevailed. Only one applicant in the entire contest from start to finish was reputed to have effected au organization, the others seemed to depend entirely upon individual effort and individual recommendations. Several of them were known to be opposed to having any meetings in their interest. Another marked peculiarly is seen in the fact that the party leaders were not united on any one candidate. There was nothing like the usual "gang" support in the contest. There is very little hostility being displayed and the disappointed applicants are accepted results rather philosophically.

The mayor of San Francisco seems eager to defy the law, and the Governor of the State of California in his efforts to pull of the Johnson and Jeffries prize fight. The law of that State prohibits prize fighting and the Governor has instructed the Atttorney General to take steps to prevent the fight on the Fourth of July. It matters not whether a person is opposed to prize figftits as a matter of sport a-nd entertainment, no- law abiding citizen ehould want to violate the law for the sake of entertainment. The disgusting feature in this case, however, is in the fact that an official sworn to obey the law and keep the peace of a city will boast that he will not do his duty.

No matter how "sporty" the people may be, they do not look with favor upon the action of the San Francisco's mayor's position in regard to the Johnson-Jeffries fight. The people of the whole country are lawabiding. They believe in obeying the law, and do not approve the actions of officers who boldly defy law regutions.

Walking From Kansas City to New

York and Spend Day in

This City.

Tired, but happy, four "hikers" arrived in Greenfield Thursday on their way from Kansas City to New York. Two of them were Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Woolf, and the others their black horse and their dog, Don. The quartet left Kansas City on May 2nd, and have covered six hundred miles of their trip in about one month. Mr. Woolf is an orchestra leader in his home city, but on account of poor health he decided that the outdoor life would greatly benefit him. To see him one would think he was in the best of health*

Both Mr. and Mrs. Woolf were dressed in Kaki suits, white peeked hats and walking boots, and they attracted a great deal of attention on the street on account of their sunburned faces and arms. The outdoor life seems to have worked wonders for both of them, as Mrs. Woolf, who weighs two hundred pounds, seems to be gradually gaining in weight. From Kansas City they walked to Hannibal, Mo., and crossed the Mississippi river at this point on the ferry. From here they went to Springfield, 111., and then came to Indianapolis. Twenty miles a day is about the average day's walk, and at this rate they expect to reach New York about August 15th. Richmond is the next city of interest to the Woolfs, as Mrs. Woolf was a student at Earlham college in 1899.

When they reach New York their plan is to sell their horse and wagon, ship Don back to Kansas City, and then spend about a month sight seeing in the east. They expect to visit Boston, Atlantic City, Niagara Falls and come home by way of Chicago. The wagon which accompanies the Woolfs is not used for riding, except that when the dog is tired he is allowed to ride. The wagon is a twowheeled affair, very light in construction, but it carries a pretty good load. The little box like structure contains a complete camping outfit, consisting of cooking utensils, tent, folding cote, and what the Woolfs prize most, their photographic supplies. Mr. Woolf is a clever amateur photographer, and anything of special interest that is seen along their hike they "snap".

After a good day's walk, time only being taken out for lunch, the "hikers" look for a comfortable farmhouse where they ask permission to camp in the farmyard for the night. This done they proceed to put up their tent, see that the horse has a good stall and plenty of oats and hay, and after cooking their own supper they go to bed early. This sort of a program is followed day after day, and from Mr. Woolf's statement he expects to recover his health by the time he reaches his destination.

The trip thus far has been interesting, although they complain of the smaller towns in this state being very dull and .dead. "In some of the towns," said Mrs. Woolf, "we are gazed upon as if we were freaks." To help pay their expenses they are selling post cards which bear the picture of the quartet and the wagon, which was taken at their home in Kansas City. Painted on the side of the wagon are the words, "Walking from Kansas City to New York." They have been very successful in selling the cards, although in Danville, this state, when Mrs. Woolf approached one man he said: "Say, miss, I would buy a card from you only I don't know your name."

Last summer a hiking trip on a much smaller scale was taken by the Woolfs when they walked from their home in Kansas City to the Ozark mountains, in southwestern Missouri. On this trip they averaged twentyfive miles a day. They were accompanied by a pack horse,. 'on whose back they packed their tent, blankets and cooking utensils. At Branson, Mo., they sold their horse and proceeded 260 miles down the White river to Carter, Ark., in a small boat. This trip was a difficult one, as the river between these two places is full of very dangeroas rapids. One very warm night when they were sleeping on the open groand in a wild country on the river bank they were visited by a panther, and although very much scared they proceeded down the river the next morning, being careful, however, to spend the nights kt inhabited places. This trip lasted from June 1 to July 26, and" they walked about three hundred miles.

Fred Sander and wife, of New Palestine, Route 2, spent today in Greenfield.

Noble Fletcher and wife are gnests of Joseph Martin and family, of near Independence school house.

Miss Ida Geary is spending the summer with hep brothers, Bay and Cliff Geftry i» Homestejul, Oregon.

SHARK TAKES TARPON WHEN OUT OF WATER

Fish Story That Comes From Florida

Town Where Greenfield People

Often Go.

The Greenfield-St. Petersburg, Fla., colony will be interested in the following from the Evening Independent of that city. A number from this city are acquainted with the persons mentioned in the fish story. They go from here to the Florida town to spend the winters, and it was there thatW. H. Rock died. Among the Greenfield people who go to St. Petersburg are Mr. and Mrs. Howard Braoham, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Thomas, Dr. J. M. Larimore and family, Mr. and Mrs. Barclay Binford, Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Barrett, Mrs. Irene Stoner and son, Mrs. Carl Rock, Mil's. Poe Rock, Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson, Mrs Grace Hill.

Professor and Mrs. Hockett Avent to St. Petersburg three years ago and the former now has a clerkship in the postoffice there.

Another family that twenty years ago was well known in this county and who now have one of the best orange groves in that country is the Davis family. The Davis family lived on the farm along the Blue river bank just south of the Hancock county line since the same wTas entered from the Government. John Davis was known everywhere as "Deaf and Dumb John," to distinguish him from another John Davis, a cousin. About thirty years ago on a pleasure trip to Florida with his wife and daughters, he was so taken with the country and prospects that he purchased a tract of land and set out an orange grove and later sold his farm and moved to the vicinity of St. Petersburg, where the old people died. The daughters now live on a beautiful island fourteen miles from St. Petersburg and own considerable property in the latter place. But to the fishing trip. The Independent says: "There were exciting times galore for the tarpon fishermen at Egmont Key yesterday. The silver kings were plentiful and bit frequently, many being caught. There was not a moment when one of the many sportsmen was not battling for supremacy with one of the game monsters, and sometimes four or five tarpon could be seen leaping at the same time, as only a tarpon can leap when it is'seeking freedom from a line. About fourteen boats were out all day long. Tarpon were not the only fish caught either, sharks were numerous, some were caught but more often, just as the lucky fisherman would have a tarpon nearly beached, a tremendous shark—and they were all large, some being of the man-eating varietywould happen on the scene, take a hugh bite of the hooked fish, sometimes half of it, and disappear as quickly as he had come. Oh, there certainly wae sport to be had at Egmont then, if there ever was any sport anywhere. "Probably the biggest catches were made by Lewis King and M.L.Btoner, who pulled out a hundred pound-one a piece, that is King's weighed'that much. And how he knows it weighed that much we have to guess. Stoner only succeeded in getting a piece of his tarpon on the beach. Somewhere out in the gulf lies a monster leopard shark that can give an account of the other part of the fish, and if you ask Mr. Stoner he will tell you that that shark is at least twenty feet long. HowevCT, he seemed mighty glad that it was the tarpon and not him that Mr. Shark took a fancy to. "D. W. Budd was another unlucky angler whose "monster" tarpon was chewed up by a shark, but as-he landed one all right he is not as much (put out as W. H. English, who had 'the biggest catch of the season' nearly up on the beach, and coming in like a log, when the fish woke up all of a sudden and started for Mexico with the speed of an express (not Jacksonville )train, and is probably going ye* at least, Mr. English declares that he went so fast that it will take him fully two days to put the brakes on. Anyhow he carried off the 'better half' of Col. 'Billy' English's tarpon outfit. Bird Latham consoled him for his loss by gently reminding him that he still had 'some gasoline' left. Harry Thompson is also sore, 8ut he has his own reasons. and will give them to you if you ask him. 'There were many other adventures equally as dangerous and exciting, but the tale is too lengthy for publication. Dr. O. B. Wright caught his first tarpon—a hundred-one. Robert Carroll landed two fine ones J. G. Foley got a seventy-pound fish. "Barney Warner,a sixteen-yea»-old boy, of Tampa, invented a new way of landing a tarpon, and it certainly #o*ked well for him. When he hooked a fish he would get to land as soon as possible, throw the pole over his shoulder and away he went up the beaefe dragging the flak is by main

force. This plan worked once, too, when he landed a ninety-pound tarpon high and dry. No spectacular reel for him no sir. He was after a fish. "But the largest catch of the day was an eleven foot shark by George Roberts and Robert Carroll. The monster had to be shot, and in cutting it open to take out the backbone, forty-six little sharks were found. "Probebly fifteen tarpon were caught yesterday, and many little ones were turned loose without being landed on account of their small size."

Obituary

"Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at) the North wind's breath, And stars to set—but all Thou hast all seasons for Thine own, O death."

The Grim Reaper with his sickle keen hath gleamed in our midst, and as the early dawn was breaking itato day, the Death Angel claimed for His own a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and sister. Barbara Derry wras one of the nine children of Jeremiah and Malinda Derry. She was born June 9, 1840, near Greenfield, Hancock county, Ind., departed this life June 14, 1910, aged—70 years 5 days.

She was united in marriage to Henry P. Bussellj Nov. 10, 1S64. Their home was blessed with two children, Marshall, who at present resides at the homestead and Ollie, who is the wife of Andrew J. Marsh, resides near Willow Branch. She gave her heart to God in 1878 and cast her lot with the Missionary Baptist church, near Leamon's Corner under the pastorate of Elder Langdon. She was a sufferer from early childhood of asthma, but only of recent years that her affliction had made such rapid strides that she and her husband had, reluctantly, abandoned the happy home—where they had reared their family, and gone to live with their daughter, Mrs. Marsh. She was a loyal friend and an oblinging neighbor and always had a happy, cheerful greeting for them. She has laid down her cross and is absent in the flesh but present with the Lord. She often expressed a desire to meet her God face to face, but being bound by human ties—regretted to bid adieu to her beloved family and their children. All that loving hands could do, has been done—we must now take up the broken pathway and submit to One who doeth all things well. This parting is for a season only, now what we know in part— shall there, be revealed to us fully. Our loss is Heaven's gain where sickness and death cannot enter. She leaves to mourn her departure, a faithful husband, two devoted childdren and four grandchildren. She also leaves two brothers, Alexander and Frank Derry, two Bisters, Mrs. Lueinda Kingen and Mrs.
