Hearty Greetings, Excellent Dinner and

Enjoyable Program at the An

nual Meeting.

The second general Binford reunion was held in Spring Lake Park, Tuesday, Aug. 30, 1910, and was a success. Again we were favored with a pleasant and beautiful day, which added to the happiness of the occasion.

The company began gathering quite early. A few families were there long before 9 a. m. and the crowd kept coming, more on the 10 o'clock car than the others. Being left by one car did not deter them, but they came on the next. Not a few came after the noon hour. As in the former reunion the crowds collected not only from the various nearby towns, but also from many more distant points in the state and beyond. (Failing this time to secure the names and addresses of those px*esent makes it more difficult to get a full and accurate report.) Yet we know there were a number present from Indianapolis, Carmel, Thorntown, Lewisville, etc. Ohio, Kentucky and North Dakota were represented and there were as many as six present from Kansas. Beside we had greetings from Texas, New York and even from the distant Philippines, until the crowd numbered well nigh three hundred.

Glad, joyous and inspiring were the greetings of separated relatives, then the conversation entered into with such zest took lip the forenoon.

The dinner hour was a part of the reunion enjoyed by all present. After the long tables in the dining hall were spread with beautiful bouquets, the essentials and luxuries were added after the meats and salads were decorated with nasturtiums, after the great variety of beautiful cakes, also ornamental were added, for really one rarely sees such a display in this line, then truly it was a beautiful and tempting sight. Then by observing how rapidly the victims disappeared we judge they seemed as good to the taste as to the sight.

The literary program was nicely carried out as follows: The program began at 2 p.m. and opened with the song, "Home, Sweet Home." Mary A. Elliott leader of octett.

Aquila Binford, of Thorntown, the oldest Friends' minister present and having been married fifty-four years, lead in the devotional, his reading and comments both being intex*esting and practical.

The president, Arthur O. Binford, in his introductory remarks said, "We are glad that we are Binfords today. It is desired that we get closer together, see the good in one another and get better acquainted.

The minutes, comprising a full report of the reunion two years ago, were read and approved.

J. H. Binford "The Living Binfords." He said: In his extensive travels he fouud Binfords every place he went, in Ohio, New York, Georgia, Seattle, etc. We are a medium class Jione from us have been president and none in the cell. We are proud of our blood and name.

The prophecy of the Binford family, written by Amy and Grace Winslow and read by Howard Winslow, was certainly a success.

Miss Etta Butler, ot Lewisville, Ind., gave us a reading from Riley, "Out to Old Aunt Mary's." She rendered "The Crowning Old Indignity" and one other besides.

Aquila Binford made some remarks on the chart of the Peter Binford family. He will investigate his subject farther. He said: The Binfords extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf to the Lakes and •and there might be some around the North Pole.

The Octett sang the Binford song, ^and it seemed to be much appreciated. The treasurer's report was read and accepted. The resolutions were read, with one amendment, that we meet jn two years instead of five, were ac--cepted.

The election of^officers resulted as follows: ff\- The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Dr. B. S. Binford vice president, Aquila Binford,

Thorntown secretary, Martha J. ifcElliott treasurer, Charles S. WinsJ$Uow.

Then the literary part of the program. Was adjourned to meet in two years, the last Tuesady in August, 1912, in the Walnut Ridge grove. & Arthur O. Binford, Pres.

Martha J. Elliott, Sec'y.

It Saved His Leg.

Then Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured it, sound and well. "Infallible for Skin Eruptions, Eczema, Salt Rheum, Boiis, Fever Sores, Burns, Scalds, Cuts and Piles. 25c at M. C. Quigley's.

WIS DEAD

Agitated by excitement caused by a small, but threatening fire on the second floor of the store room of the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City late Friday night, Warden James D. Reid, the head of the institution, is dead as the result of heart trouble caused by the shock. He had been subject to heart trouble and his health had not been good for two years. When the fire was discovered the warden and other prison officers hastened to the building to direct the operations of the prison fire brigade, composed of prisoners, and the city fire department, and during a crucial moment in the progress of the blaze, the warden, after showing considerable anxiety and agitation, suddenly dropped to the floor.

Mr. Reid had been at the head"of the prison nearly eight years.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL

Health is Worth Saving, and Some Greenfield People Know How to Save It.

Many Greenfield people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan'o Kidney Pills. Here is a Greenfield citizen's recommendation.

Elijah Hunt, 523 Broadway, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I never had occasion to take Doan's Kidney Pills personally but know them to be a remedy of merit. Tbey have been used in my family for backache and a weakness of the kidneys and have lived up to all the claims made for them. They cured a member of my family about six years ago and as there has been no sympcous of kidney complaint, we look upon the cure as a permanent one."

Bonnd Over to Court.

Harry Hamilton, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, was, Friday, bound over to Mayor Myers to the circuit court, and released from jail on bond of $800 furnished by his mother.

:IV 74. GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8,1910. ,•*

THROHHI FROM BUGGY IWD SERIOUSLY HURT

Mark Craycraft, of Fountaintown, Sus

tains Injury to Spine in Run

away Wednesday.

Markland Craycraft, of near Fountaintown, is in a critical condition at his home, suffering from injuries resulting from a runaway accident in which he figured last Wednesday evening. Mr. Craycraft was seriously injured about the spine and the physician in charge has grave doubts as to his ultimate recovery.

Mr. Craycraft was driving his horse along the road near his home one mile west of Fountaintown when the animal scared at some object and started to run away. The buggy was overturned into the ditch and Mr. Craycraft was hurled to the ground, alighting in a position to injure his spinal column. He was picked up and carried to his home and Dr. Miller, of Fountaintown, was called to attend the injuries. Mr. Craycraft has been in bed since the accident and has not yet shown any signs of improvement. He is unable to stand for an instant upon his feet and it is feared that a permanent injury has been sustained.

Sorghum Crop Short.

Elwood Barnard, the well known manufacturer of sorghum molasses, of Indianapolis, who has a large factory near Eden, was in Greenfield Friday taking advance orders for the product of his factory. He says the sorghum crop is late and short. He is ready now to take care of any cane which comes to the factory, but he does not look for the season to open before Sept. 20th.

When asked if there was any danger from frost, he said the farmers need not fear frost, as it did not damage the cane. He said that a freeze followed by a warm rain was the thing which spoiled cane.

Clover Seed Prospects Not Good. Quite a great deal of Big English Clover is being cut for seed at this time. The little Red clover is late this fall. The hay crop was not gotten off early so the seed crop is late. The clover that was cut for hay early did not develop properly. The plant grew rapidly and there were a great many heads but there seemed to be no bloom, and persons who have examined the heads say many of them have no seed in them. Whether the later clover will develop and bloom properly remains to be seen. It is growing nicely but the season is so late that it may never make seed.

The Lash of a Fiend

would have been about as welcome to A. Cooper of Oswego' N. Y., as a merciless lung-racking cough that defied all remedies for years. "It was most troublesome at night," he writes, "nothing helped me till I used Dr. King's New Discovery which cured me completely. I never cough at night now." Millions know its matchless merit for stubborn colds, obstinate coughs, sore lungs, lagrippe, asthma, hemorrhage, ctoup, whooping cough, ar hay fever. It relieves quickly and never fails to satisfy. A trial convinces, 50c, $1.00. Trial bottle free. It's positively guaranteed by M. C. Quigley.

Gone to a Wet Town.

John Spinks has sold his big gray horse for $190 to Henry Jeffries, who in turn sold the horse to an Indianapolis brewery agency and he is now delivering "booze."

Mrs. May Cregor and son, of Greenfield, were here Thursday and attended the fair Bay Finley and Miss Bess Maple, of Greenfield, attended the fair here this week Miss Mary Henley, of Greenfield, attended the wedding of Miss Rema Stone and Mr. Allen here Thursday Paul Bell returned to his home in Greenfield last evening after a stay here. He attended the fair and had a horse, Silver Chimes, which took away some of the money. He showed it in the light harness class.—Rushville Jacksonian.

Mrs. Nellie Henry, of Vernon township, has applied for a divorce from John D. Henry. They were married December 22, 1908, and separated this month. When Mrs. Henry went to her father's home about the most serious allegations in the complaint are that the defendant said on this occasion he wished he had never married and hoped she would never come back and that he treated her coolly about home before they seperated.

A delightful time was had at the Friends' sociable held at John Harlan's Friday night. The look of rain kept a good many back. The program, was exceptionally good. It was Whittier evening. His life and some of his poems were given by Miss Abbey Henby. After the business of the meeting was discussed, a social time was had.

ITER PLANT

Recent Fire at Shirley Causes Citizens

to Awaken the Construction

Company.

The recent fire at Shirley, which caused a loss of $20,000, aroused the citizens and they "went after" the company which has the contract to put in the town's water plant. Delay in the work caused the service to be unavailable for the fire, and the loss was much larger as a result. The water plant will soon be ready and the citizens of Shirley are sincerely hoping there will be no more conflagrations until it is in working order.

The delay in completing the plant seemed to be caused by the failure of switchboard to arrive, but it came Tuesday. After the fire of last week somebody evidently got busy and telegraphed the Schnectady firm, which is putting in the plant, of the loss that had been occasioned through somebody's negligence, whether of the engineer or the electric firm has not been determined.

The promptness with which the switchboard was then shipped raises a suspicion that the firm had been holding the little order to await their convenience, and learning how their delay had resulted in heavy loss, got busy.

Engineer Wallace came down Wednesday, and is at it. He expects to have everything in working order in a week, with the tank and pipes filled and ready in case of fire.

As the plant stands, the town derives no revenue from it, the only benefit being fire protection. Many citizens want connections and ser vice, and thus benefit many and obtain sufficient revenue to pay for operating expenses. Without this all must be met by the town until lines can be extended and connections made.

Had Shirley had such a system several years ago, much property that was destroyed in the three disastrous fires would have been saved and two human beings might now be living, who lost their lives in one of the fires.
