NOT GUILTY
Colored Man Charged With Selling
Liquor is Discharged in Circuit
Court.
In the circuit court Saturday evening Special Judge Samuel A. Wray, after hearing the evidence in the case of the State against William Neal, charged with selling liquor without a license and giving liquor to a minor, found the defendant not guilty and he was released at once.
A few weeks ago Neal,employed by the city,,assisted in in the detection and conviction of several men for selling liquor illegaly. In a few days affidavits on information were filed against him charging the same offense and in default of bond went to jail. One of the cases came up in justice's court. To avoid a change of venue to another township, the prosecuting attorney dismissed the case and filed in the circuit court. It was the last day of the court term and that Neal, if not guilty, should be released from custody Judge Mason asked the State and the defense to agree upon a special judge to try the case, as he would be engaged in another trial. Both sides agreed that Judge Mason shotild name the special judge and he appointed Mr. Wray.
The evidence submitted was not of a character to remove doubt of the defendant's innocence and he was promptly acquitted.
The New Clark Binder.
The Columbus Evening Republican Friday has the following: "Briefly the difference between the Clark binder aud the ordinary machine is that with the Clark binder the wheat is cut and bound while in a standing position, and with other models the wheat is cut standing, thrown down and then elevated, after which it is bound and thrown out. "The claim for the new machine is that it will save a great amount of money in its manufacture because of fewer parts. This means a smaller outlay for the manufacturer, a smaller number of parts to get out of order, and less wear and tear on machinery. "Another claim made for the Clark machine is that as it cuts the wheat standing and keeps the grain in a standing position all the time, it saves in the actual number of bushels of wheat handled. It is argued that with the ordinary binder, after the wheat reaches a certain stage it is easily beaten out and that the action of throwing the wheat on the floor of the binder beats out the wheat and loses the farmer a good sized percentage of his grain. With the wheat handled standing it is said but a small amount of grain is lost. "Several farmers in the vicinity of the place where the machine was located this week inspected it with approval, and a number of implement men from this city went down to have a look at it."
Lost Heir tp Five Acres of Land. Robert Williamson is closing up an estate, a feature of which is out of the ordinary in probate matters in this county.
Mrs. Josepheta Mulford died some time ago leaving five* acres of land to an heir that the administrator has been unable to locate. The time has come when the land must be disposed of according to the provisions of the law, and Mr. Williamson is taking the necessary steps to sell the land to the highest bidder. Then the costs will be deducted from the receipts and the proceeds turned over to the county treasurer and by him to the State of Indiana.
Saved at Death's Door.
The door of death seemed ready to open for Murray W. Ayers, of Transit Bridge, N. Y., when his life was wonderfully saved. "I was in a dreadful condition," he writes, "my skin waa almost yellow my eyes sunken tongue coated emaciated from losing 40 pounds, growing weaker daily. Virulent liver trouble pulling me down to death in spite of doctors. Then that matchless medioine, Electric Bitters, cured me. I regained the 40 pounds lost and now am well and strong." For all stomach, liver and kidney troubles they're supreme. 50c. at M. C. Quigley's. 7

OLD SCRIBE'S SKETCHES
The author of the inimitable "Elegy in a Country Church Yard" could just as appropriately have set beneath the weeping willows and spreading mapels, at the old Maple Grove burial ground on the Lee 01vey farm, and have thought out those inspired and Heavenly thoughts, as any place else in the world.
All the solemnity is there, all the inspiration hovers about those ancient tombs of "The rude forefathers" where "Heaves the earth in many a mouldering heap."
I lolled for along time on the grass among the "sweet clover, as I tried to trace out the inscription on some moss grown reminder of other times," that told of "A heart once pregnant with celestial fire," and whose good deeds were and are still heralded by tbe few who can remember them or some incident concerning them. For all that, some one has said, "How soon we are forgotten after we are dead." And this is true. Did you ever, Mr. Editor, attempt to recall from memory those who have preceded you to that bourne and realize how soon they become blotted from memory? It is but mete that it should be so, for we have our great battle of life—and a great struggle is now— to fight, and it so kigrosses our attention, that some obstinate thoughts retain nothing anymore but that which impresses us day by day.
But to the little two by four "Elegy'' on old Maple Grove. Uncle Lee 01vey gave it to me, and I noted a tinge of sadness, as of truant memory returning, "Like a shadow o'er a stream," as I inquired about the one reposing in the "Cap of earth" here or commented on the quaint inscription on a stone that marked the last resting place of some true and loyal friend of "All mankind." A modest little stone had carved on its face, "William Roberts, died 1877, aged 68 years." I was informed that he was an uncle of Lan Roberts. The Epitaph, "Death wings eternal o'er mankind, Hope cheers the soul, eternal bliss to find."
Another says "Levi Dobbins, husband of Jane Dobbins, Dec. 7th, aged 51 years. Mr. Olvey told me that Mr. Dobbins was treated by old Doctor Hall, an old time physician of Greenfield. He rode horseback, and every mile was knee deep in mud. On another side of the stone was carved "Jane, wife of Levi Dobbins, died 1873, aged 58 years. Mrs. Stokes Jackson was named for Mrs. Dobbins.
We here came to the spot pointed out by Mr. Olvey, where the first person was buried. He was a wayfaring man, and died passing through the country, and this is his last resting place. A pen of poles was built around the grave, and stood there for years. This was ninety yeare ago.
James Denney entered the farm on which part of this burial ground is located. Mr. Denney and Isiah Jackson made the trustees a joint deed of this ground, as Mr. Jackson owned the farm adjoining. Both of these old pioneers lie here "under the sod and the dew."
Mr. Denney was the organizer of the Denney reunion some 20 years ago, which is still iing perpetuated by his followers. "Calvin J. Jackson." says a nice headstone, but there remains a blank to be filled by and by. It says also, "Emily, his wife, 1847-1907."
Another reads "Melissa, wife.} of J. B. Galbreath, 1368, age 31 years an 10 months."
Mr. Galbreath was the stepfather of Jesse Cook of Fortville. Still furthur "Emanuel Jackson, 1869, aged 33 years, son of Daniel Jackson." Again "James Roberts, 1860." This was a brother of Thomas Roberts of near Maxwell. Read on, "Jane A. wife of George D. Walker, died Oct. 11, 1854, age 26." "Elizabath Pilkewton, Jan. 15, 1856, age 25 yrs., wife of J. F. Pilkenton." My informant stated that the husband was a Baptist minister, and a good one. The epitaph says, "Let friends forbear to mourn and weep, while in the grave her flesh shall sleep. A world of toil she leaves behind, celestial rest and bliss to find." "Robert
Walker, Jan. 1, 1850, aged
66," and near it another little flat stone says "Dorcus, wife of R. Walker, died March 11, 1866, aged 77 years 11 mo. and 23 days." These are the grandparents of Rev. Marcellus Walker of Fortville.
A tall cylindrical shaft says "Enoch Olvey, died 1878, aged 81 yrs. 11 mo. and 28 days," and on another side of the same, "Martha, wife of Enoch Olvey, 1868, aged 59 yrs. 10 mo. and 22 days." These are the parents of Lee Olvey, who takes such pride in keeping the graves green, and the whole cemetery in fine condition. He spends much of his time about the premises, and many of the improvements are attributable to his care.
Two small stones mark the spot where repose the dust of the maker of the cemetery deed as mentioned above. It says, "Died 1856, aged 89 yrs. and 5 mo., and "Tiney, consort of (James Denney, died1839, aged.67." They, were
the
parents-
of-ihe'Jate
Alfred denney, of Vernon township, and the grandparents of Isom Denney now one of Hancocks most respected citizens. The old gentleman was a veteran of the Revolutionary war, and Uncle Alfred was Mexican soldier, The remains of uncle Alfred and aunt Sally are burried at the Dunkard church yard, on the Fortville pike. Lee Olvey is a great grandson of the? old Revolutionary soldier.
The moss had so obliterated the marking on the little headstone of Mr. Amick that it took all of us to decipher the reading which ran like this. "Daniel Amick died July 20,. 183§, aged 40 years and 6 mo." The small weather beaten slab stands diagonal with the world, and shows the ravages of time.
Some more, "Nancy, daughter ofJ. and W. Southard, 1861, aged 17 years." Then "James Southard 1814, 1889, on the same stone, 'Winifred, wife of James Southard, 1815-1888. The inscription. "God saved the pure in heart He'll shield me in my way." "Sarah J. wife of John R. Williams, died in 1881, aged 21 years. "Not lost, blest thought, but gone before, where we shall part no more." "L. B. Jackson, 1873, aged 75 yrs." Mr. Jackson was the joint giver of the cemetery deed.
Then "Isaiah Jackson, 1805, aged 44 years, and "Martha, «onsort of Isaiah Jackson, aged 61, 1889." These were the parents of our late T. N. Jackson, county treasurer. Then "Mahala Jackson, wife of T. N. Jackson, Feb. 26, 1866, aged 23 years and 6 mo." "Wyatt, son of James Denney 1865, aged 46." He was an uncle of Lee Olvey, and read, "Without a moments warning, in deaths cold arms he fell, has gone to meet his Savior, who doeth all things well."
Then the familiar landmark who fell at his post, and who as "Rambler" I interviewed many times. "Richard Stokes, 1894,aged 84." Read on opposite side. "Elizabeth Stokes, wife of Richard, 1870, aged 62." "John Stokes and Luoinda Stokes, 1845-1909 and 1844-1909." These were the beloved parents of Mrs. James Goble, of this city.
Then "George C. Thomas, 1872, aged 54," and "Diana A. Thomas, 1824-1891." The revered, and of sacred memory to their daughter, the frail, but sweet spirited, Mrs U. S. Jackson. A short converse with her reveals a spirit as pure as snow and life's rugged road tread with the hope that inspires the faith hearted to take oourage* "It is enough, come up higher," said the lowly one and it was spoken far in advance, for the comfort of His children.
La, I remember Uncle Bobby McFadden, as well as Uncle Billy, and many's the time I have paused at the little domicile on the "lost hundred" and held discourse with them. They were nature's noblemen,and tho, perhaps what the world would call misophosticated, they were philosophers of the practical type. I did not know that Uncle Billy had crossed over, until I read the "Short and simple annals" on the pretty slab that Lee Olvey had caused to.be placed at their tombs.
Good old soldiers of the cross,sleeping the last sleep, comforted through life with the blessed promises that have never failed. "Those that love His appearing." They "fought the good fight, they kept the faith." What greater eulogy could be added. Such as these were of very salt of the earth. Humble, contrite in spirit,unassuming, caring but little for earthly riches, they maybe would not grace the occasions that now obtain, but with such as they, the man was high above the dollar, tho we are in church and State reversing the order, and placing a greater value on the dollar until it is known as the "Almighty."
But "Because thou say est, I am rich and iucreased with goods, and have need of nothing and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable and poor, and blind and naked. "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed."
A beautiful new addition has been added to the original at the north, .. and is being rapidly taken, for burial places, for death exacts toll and this locality is no exoeption. Old Scribe.
