VISIT HISTORICAL SPOT IN SCOn COUNTY

Vint A. Smith Tells of Visit To the Pigeon Roost Defeat Monument Where Massacre Occurred.

Vint A. Smith and wife, while touring the southern part of Indiana recently, visited one of the most historic spots in the state. A few miles below Scottsburg, the county seat of Scott county, and about sixteen miles north of Louisville, Ky., and about twenty rods east of the right-of-way of the"Louisville division of the P. C. C. & St. L. Railroad Company, on a beautiful eminence, stands, surrounded by a concrete wall enclosing a space, perhaps forty by sixty feet, a granite shaft, about forty feet high, which marks the place where, on the night of September 3, 1812, the Indians massacred twenty-two defenseless women and children, and their remains are buried within this enclosure. On one side of the shaft there is inscribed: "In Memory of the Pioneer Heroes, TwentyTwo in Number, Massacred at Pigeon Roost Defeat by the Shawnee Indians, September 3. 1812."

Almost a century has passed away since that terrible deed was enacted but history still keeps it fresh in the minds of the people of that part of the state. A chestnut tree is standing within the inclosure, and is said to have been standing there at the time the massacre was committed.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ed A. Roberts, at their beautiful country home at Scottsburg, where genuine southern hospitality is meted out to all who are fortunate enough to pass their way.

Took a Tumble On Main Street and Fell in Front of Traction Car and Automobile.

A motorcycle rider going from Indianapolis to Richmond, took a dangerous tumble on Main street near the State street crossing Saturday afternoon. He was going at a fair rate of speed and in attempting to turn off of the car tracks to avoid a car that was immediately behind him, his wheels slipped on the steel track and the rider took a tumble of several feet, while the motorcycle went the other w?ay.

An automobile was almost upon him when he fell and the fact that the street car stopped on the near side of the street made the danger from that source considerably less. The young man was up in a minute and soon had his machine going.

POTATOES MAY GO TO FOUR DOLLARS A BUSHEL.

Before New Potatoes Are Here Again —Prediction of Greensburg Man Who Investigated.

Potatoes at $4 per bushel. That is among the possibilities this winter if predictions of crop expects are worthy of belief, says the Greensburg Democrat.

Dr. S. B. Hitt, city health commissioner, returned from a tour of the North Wednesday evening and he took time to inquire into the crop situation Michigan, Canada and the New England States. Dr. Hitt says that the drouth has left its blight throughout all of this vast territory.

Looking forward to a short yield of potatoes, experts in Michigan, for. Hitts says, predict that theprice may go to $4 a bushel before new potatoes are marketed next year.

People of the Middle West look to Michigan largely for their potato supply. When Michigan is unable to respond, then everybody suffers. It has not been determined whether the Michigan crop is a failure or not, but the facts will come out within a short time,now and potato users will know the wrorst.

Caught 350 Pounds of Fish. W. H. Boyd and family, Mr,, and Mrs. Frank Trees, Arthur Crider and family, Roy Crider and family, of this city, and Ciem Parish and family and Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Crider, of Indianapolis, have returned from a ten days' camping trip on Blue River. Fish seem to have been plentiful in that neighborhood, as 350 pounds of fish were caught by the party.

JUST SHORT MOVE CURES HAY FEVER

In Some Instances, Says Dr. King of State Board of Health— Try Going Across Street.

Cheer up, all ye who suffer from hay fever, and are enveloped in gloom because the rag w*eed season is at hand.

Dr. W. F. King, assistant secretary of the State Board of Health, has a message of hope for you. If may not be necessary to go to Michigan to escape the pestiferous little germ that makes your nose clog up and your eyes water and causes you to mispronounce every other word. A trip across the street may do you as much good. "I know instances where people have been cured of hay fever by moving into another part of town or from the country into town, or vice versa," says Dr. King. "It is even recorded that removal from one side of the street to another has proved effective. About as many Michigan people leave their native state to escape hay fever as go there from other states for that purpose. Hay fever is a most mysterious disease. There is no accounting for its vagaries. No medicine can cure it and medicinal treatment can have nothing more than a palliative effect."

Pollen from rag weeds is credited with being responsible for most of the hay fever, and its victims think they can find relief in a place where the rag weed docs not flourish. But this is often a delusion, medical authorities say.

Roses have the same effect on some people as rag weeds, and Dr. King says he knows a man who contracts hay fever in the neighborhood of nasturtiums.

About all the medical men know definitely about it is that the atmosphere under certain conditions irritates the mucous membrane of the nasal passages of certain people but why or how remains a mystery.

SENTENCE AND FINE

For James Kirk On Charge of Drunk —Was the Third Offense.

In the Mayor's court on Monday morning James Kirk, of Jackson township, was fined $100 and sentenced to jail for thirty days, for drunk, it being his third offense. He had four full quart bottles of whiskey and a bottle half full when arrested and placed in jail.

The evidence showed that he had received about $40 for some work a few days ago, and went to Indianapolis, where he bought the liquor and a satchel to put it in. He said when sentenced that it was no more than he deserved.

The members of the Greenfield Motorcycle Club, which made a trip to Brown county are all safely home and declare the trip most delightful.

The other seven stayed in Nashville and returned home Monday, calling upon Charles Kingen and wife at Edinburg, where Mr. Kingen has charge of the telephone plant. Mr. Kingen will be remembered as the efficient and obliging field manager of the Greenfield telephone plant for many years. He was recently married and a great many Greenfield people attended a dinner in his Jioijor a few weeks ago at his old home, northwest of this city.

The motorists stopped at Shelbyville, where John Robinson's circus was showing Monday afternoon.

The boys visited the old log jail at Nashville, and Ray Denny says a man could not dig out of it in six months.

THE MELON MARKET TAKES A TUMBLE

Home-Grown Crop is Big and Some Now On the Market—Present Supply From Posey Co.

The melon season is now on in earnest, and in a few more days home-grown melons will be the principal ones on the market. If there is plenty of rain during the next few days, the local supply will be the greatest it has been for years. The melons now on the market are from the southern part of the state, principally from Posey county. The crop there is very good and the canteloupes shipped in from there are selling at four cents each and under, wholesale.

The drop in the price of melons the past few days has been great. Good sized watermelons sold Saturday for 20 to 30 cents, and they were home-grown. Canteloupes are also much cheaper since the homegrown variety has been placed on the market.

Attack Like Tigers.

In fighting to keep the blood pure the white corpuscles attack disease germs like tigers. But often germs multiply so fast the little fighters are overcome. Then see pimples, boils, eczema, salt rheum and sores multiply and strength and appetite fail. This condition demands Electric Bitters to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys, and to expel the poisons from the blood. "They are the best blood purifier," writes C. T. Budahn, of Tracy, Cal., "I have ever found." They make rich, red blood, strong nerves and build up your health. Try them. 50c at M. C. Quigley's.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1911

Obituary.

Hattie E. Gustin was born in Delaware county, June 5, 1866, and departed this life at her home, west of Willow Branch, Ind., August 4, 1911, age 45 years, 1 month and 29 days.

She was married to John N. Spegal March 11, 1883. The fruits of this marriage were two children, Cora A., now the wife of Walter Kramer, of Indianapolis, and Chas. N., of near Willow Branch.

Since she and her husband were married they had made their home on the farm, one mile west of Willow Branch, where they lived happily together until death separated them.

She was a good, faithful companion, and none will miss her more than the bereaved husband. She was a devoted mother, and her children always received from her the best she had to give. She wras a good neighbor, and will be greatly missed by those with whom she associated.

In her girlhood days she united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Ivnightstown, Ind., and in later years, after moving into the vicinity in which she spent the greater portion of her life, she and her mother moved their membership to the old "Center Grove" Methodist church, where she affiliated until the church was torn down and the membership scattered. At the time of her death she had no church membership, so far as the friends know.

During her recent illness she suffered intensely at times, but bore her afflictions with great fortitude, and often remarked to her husband and those around her that she knew her time was near, and that she was prepared to go. Also that she had no ill will toward anyone.

Another soul has taken its flight, •and we are again warned to be ready, for we know not how soon we may be called to pass through the same ordeal.

Besides the husband, daughter and son, she leaves two devoted half sisters, Mrs. Carrie Heaton and Mrs. Addie Heaton, of Indianapolis, who will also greatly miss her. But these ties that bind us so closely together must sooner or later be broken.

The funeral services were held at the Willow Branch M. E. church on Monday at 10 o'clock a. m., by Rev. L. J. Naftzger, of the Greenfield M. E. church, after which the body was taken to Glencove cemetery at Knightstown, Ind., for interment.

Thirty Years Together. Thirty years of association—think of it. How the merit of a good thing stands out in that time—or the worthlessness of a bad one. So there's no guesswork in this evidence of Thos. Ariss, Concord, Mich., who writes: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery for thirty years, and it's the best cough and cold cure I ever used." Once it finds entrance in a home you can't pry it out. Many families have used it forty years. It's the most infallible throat and lung medicine on earth.
