STEPPED ON UGH CLOSING SERVICE ON FIRE OF GREAT REVIVAL

Aecident Saturday Night.

Mrs. Frank Hooten was the victim of a peculiar .accident Saturday night while walking on Main street with her daughter Noda. She stepped on a match head which ignited and the blaze caught in her clothing. She walked quite a distance, when the heat from her burning clothing caused her to realize that she was in danger. Her daughter showed great presence of mind by folding Mrs. Hooten's heavy coat about the burning clothing and smothering out the •flames. To the fact that she was wearing a heavy coat, Mrs. Hooten is probably indebted for her escape from serious if not fatal burns. No accident of this exact nature has probably ever occurred in the history of Greenfield.

HEART OF COURT TOUGHED BY CHILD

Little Son of William Drake Danger­

ously Sick and Its Calls for*'Papa"

While the trial was going on, the baby son of Mr. Drake was lying dangerously sick and kept calling for "papa." The court ordered Mr. Drake released from jail and suspended his sentence during good behavior, that he might be with his little son while he is sick.

Held Sunday Night at U. B. Church—

Great Crowd Hear Parting Words

of Lady Evangelists.

Evangelists Carrie Taggart and Nellie Gulley, who have just closed a successful revival at the U. B. church, left today for Bargersville, Indiana, where they will hold a meeting for Rev. E. W. Harlam, of the U. B. church there.

The closing service Sunday night was marked with great interest. Miss Carrie Taggart preached another fine sermon addressing her remarks mostly to the young converts.

Miss Nellie Gulley sang for her solo Sunday night "I want to go there, I do." She sang it with power, and in her most happy mood. The members of the U. B. church and pastor H. W. Bobbins were more than pleased with the work of Miss Taggart and Miss Gulley and the other people of the other churches wore delighted with the good 9ermons and song and they were priviledged to enjoy each evening of the meeting.

The meetftig was one of the best held in our city for years, resulting in about seventy conversions, and great good to members of the different churches of the city. No one can ever tell the great good that will result from such a meeting. Evangelist Carrie Taggart and Miss SPiilley have greatly endeared themselves to members of the U. B. church and all the people with whom they met. The closing moments of the services Sunday night were touching and pathetic in the extreme when the large congregation came forward to give the parting words to Miss Taggart and Miss Gulley.

These lady evangelists are receiving the highest praise from every one who has been attending the meetings and they will always find a welcome in Greenfield.

Fountain town to Fortville

Four Electric Railways Cross Hancock County East and west. Every Fifteen Minutes of Every Day One Car Goes East and One Car Goes West across and out of Hancocis, an average of one interurban car every seven and one-half minutes carrying our people away from and out of the Home Trading District.

FOUNTAINTOWN TO FORTVILLE means Auto-Truck service turning these four electric roads across Hancock County into feeders for home business, and forming a network of facilities for public conveyance within the county.

Home-folks wake up to whatjthis means: One big department store at Indianapolis has bought, equipped and now operates two of these auto trucks to carry its customers to its doors. The result is wonderful. Those cars deliver from five to seven hundred people a day yet this store is located on a street where street cars stop at its doors two each way every three or four minutes! If they need the auto trucks to furnish proper facilities for their customers, how about Hancock county merchants with four electric roads cutting across the county and no north and south connection between them?

This is not an untried experiment. For seven months the Auto-Traction car has run from Greenfield to Maxwell. It has carried not hundreds but thousands of passengers in that time—the figures seem impossible to many. The extension of this line to Fountaintown on the south and to Fortville on the north is a movement worthy of the best effort and co-operation of every public spirited person in Hancock county. It will tap a great northern section of Shelby county for home merchants it will knit our home community together as nothing else could for a comparatively small outlay it will give the north and south connection that Hancock county has needed for twentyfive years. Local pride, home spirit, neighbors first and the outsiders afterwards is at the bottom of this movement. We must sell $4000 of the preferred stock of the Company now in the treasury to accomplish this great boon for this locality. This preferred stock carries no liability, it is non-taxable to the holder, it guarantees 5 per cent, dividends annnally. Shares are from to $100 in denominations. We can convince you there is a future to this business. Our charter does not limit us to one locality a word to the wise is sufficient. There is room for even the humblest investor.

He has sold 14 houses in Shirley within the past few months. He says that there should be a building and loan organization in Shirley which would stimulate house building to meet the demand for houses in which to live. Mr. Tracy formerly lived south of this city. He used to own farms in Shelby county, and also a farm over the line in southern Hancock county. He has owned several farms.
