Obituary.
Nelson Bradley, son of William and Mary Dewitt. Bradley, was born in Clermont county, Ohio, May 19, 1822, and died May 6, 1911, aged 88 years, 11 months and 13 days.
Mr. Bradley's father was born in London, England, in 1777 and was a graduate of Oxford University. His mother was a native of Ohio and was of German descent.
Mr. Bradley's early life was spent on the farm and his advantages for securing an education were retrieted to a few months' attendance at the log school house of the pioneer settlement, where for several years his father was a teacher. By firmness of purpose and energy of character, which have always been among his most prominent qualities, he succeeded in acquiring sufficient knowledge of the ordinary branches to serve him as a basis for the business career which marked his course in after life.
On the 29t.h day of September, 18-4-4 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Gray, also of Clermont county, with whom he lived happily until March 8, 1907, when she departed this life, leaving him with but one brother, William Bradley, who has preceded him to a future world. Mr. Bradley leaves no immediate family, but had numerous nieces, nephews and kindred farther removed.
In 1852 he came to Indiana and purchased twenty, acres of ground, on the then newly constructed Bellefontaine railroad, at the present site of the town of McCordsville. In the fall of the same year he moved to his newly acquired farm, and the spring following he p/ened a general store, which roved profitable from the start and which was the beginning of his long, honorable and successful business career in this county.
Mr. Bradley has always been identified with all movements for bettering the conditions of the community in which he lived and has always been honored and respected by those with whom he was acquainted.
In 1845 he united with the Methodist Episcopal church and was a consistent member until the end of his career. He was always ready 0 contribute of his means for the benefit of the church, as well as to charitable purposes generally. He donated generously to the building fund of the Bradley M. E. church of this city, which is a monument to his memory that will live many years to come he also quite recently made another donation to the church of a goodly sum, the inerest of which is to be his annual ontribution to the church fund.
In the year 1847 he was made a \Iason in Georgetown Lodge No. 72 at Georgetown, Ohio, a lodge to .vliicli he recently contributed quite iberall-y to a building fund. In 1848 took the Chapter Degrees at Fe~ icity, Ohio. He afterwards took he Commandery degrees and those of the Scottish Rite and recently was honored when a vacancy occurred with an offer to have conferred upon him the thirty-third degree, but on account of his infirmities he was not able to make the trip to Boston to take the degree, but with great reluctance declined the proffered honor.
Mr. Bradley joined Hancock lodge No. 101 in February, 1860, and was elected treasurer of the lodge in 1868, which position he has faithfully and honestly filled continuously ever since without a dissenting vote. He was a good Mason and will be missed by his brethren. He was also a liberal contributor to the building fund of the Masonic Temple of this city, and his portrait cut in the glass of one of the windows of the lodge room adorns the same.
In early life he was commissioned as lieutenant by Governor Thomas Corwin, in the Ohio State militia. He has been honored many times since, and was twice elected treasurer of Hancock county.
Mr. Bradley's sound judgment and business abilities were recognized by the Governor of the State, who appointed him as a member of the official board of the Blind Asylum, a position he held for several years. His appointment by Governor Matthews, who differed in politics from Mr. Bradley, in the following letter to him when offering him the position, speaks for itself: "When a man performs a work horoughly and well, I have often hought it a good plan to keep him at it. Will you please accept the enclosed Commission, re-appointing you a member of the Board of Control for the Institute for the Blind? I also desire to thank you for the faithful and conscientious attention yod have given to the duties connected with the position. "Claude Matthews."
He was afterward re-appointed by Governor Mount. Mr. Bradley has neon identified with the business interests of this county very largely. After moving from McCordsville in 1866, he was engaged in the grocery business until 1871. In 1$71 he with others or
ganized the Greenfield Banking Company, and was elected its pres-. ident, a position he held continuously until a little more than a year ago, when on account of his loss of eye sight and other infirmities he voluntarily declined to fill the position any longer and the board of directors very reluctantly accepted his resignation.
He wras in the milling business for several years and many other enterprises in the city, county and elsewhere, many of which gave him large returns of money, which he has generously donated for different purposes and distributed among his relatives.
To him the church was more than any human institution, hence lis love for it and his willingness to give of his time and his money for its advancement. Work for the church was not simply a prudential matter or a sort of business proposition, but he had incorporited his church and its needs in.fo the real program of his life it therefore, commanded him as did his business or his home. It was a necessary part of his plan for life not to be put off with the time he could spare from business and other responsibilities, but given the consideration, time and energy that it. needs and importance required.
His Christian life was no mere profession, a sort of cloak to be put on or off as occasion or convenience might dictate, but a real part of his being. He had been '"born again." And the life that he lived, he lived not of himself, but Christ Jesus lived in him. He saw the church and Christian duty not from the standpoint of human selfishness but from the wider plane of God's purpose for the redemption of a world. He saw the image of God in every man, hence he trusted him. He felt that every man ought to be true, hence he treated him as a brother and friend, rather than as a business rival qr a possibility for personal advantage or gain.
His aim in life was to benefit the individual, but in so doing to help all the people, hence he was related to many movements for the bettering of the conditions of those about him. He was a progressive man and his influence was always upon that side of every question. While gain came to him in business it was not because of overreaching, or the taking of improper advantage of those with whom he deal!., but rather because he was possessed of a business sense that led him to do the right thing at the right time.
FAMINE III APPLES
Poorer Grades Riving First Hate Prices—No Relief Until the Spring Crop Arrives.
A general famine in apples is beng experienced in Indiana now. The poorer qualities are bringing $7.00 and upward a barrel now. This is said to be due to the bad spring last year, and only the well-to-do can afford apples at all.
The unusual shortage has alowed Idaho apples, which are strangers in these parts, to enter the local market. These apples are in boxes containing a short bushel and are of the most high-priced varieties. They sell at from $3.50 to $-4 a box.
The first relief that may be expected is from the early harvest apple of the South. Even this wjll not lower the price much, for the freight charges will raise the price to a high figure.
Bakers and makers of apple pies are already suffering from the famine. They have been forced to revert to the dried or canned article.

the seeond bottle of Nervine that
I
used I would have said "no indeed.'" MRS. THOMAS TAYLOR* Blum, Tex. Nervous exhaustion is a common occurence of modern life.
