10 SKELETONS IN GRAVEL PIT
Workmen Unearth Bones of Giant Human Being in Getting Gravel One Skull Almost Perfect
A Spiceland dispatch says: In a gravel pit near here a number of skeletons and bones of human beings of large stature have been found in the past several years, and this leads to the belief that this vicinity was the burying ground of prehistoric people in the years gone by. Workmen have unearthed number of bones of different parts of the body while excavating for the gravel.
The latest find was two skeletons which were of men of great height Both the skeletons were in such a position as to indicate that the bodies had been, buried in a sitting position. One of the skeletons was that of a very tall person and the skull had the appearance of having been partly shot away, or other wise removed, as it was missing. The remaining parts of the skull and the teeth were in good condition.
The skeleton of the taller one's companion was extremely well preserved, especially the skull. It was said to be almost perfect.

THE OLD LOG
WAS ATTRACTIVE FEATURE AT NAMELESS CREEK CHURCH ANNIVERSARY SUNDAY-
ALL DAY SERVICE.
WAS ORGANIZED 73 YEARS AGO
Is Still One of the Most Prosperous Country Churches in County—Is Located in Center of Rich Farming Community Missionary Addresses and Basket Dinner.
GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1911
A novel feature of the all day anniversary meeting at Nameless Creek Christian church in Jackson township Sunday, was_ an old split log bench, such as was in use when the church was organized nearly three-quarters of a century ago. The bench was the center of attraction for members of the present generation who could hardly realize that their parents and grand parents really enjoyed sitting on these hard, rough, straight benches through long services. This bench is kept as a souvenir of the pioneer days.
The all-day service was in commemoration of the seventy-third anniversary of this church, which is one of the widest known and most prosperous and progressive country churches in the county.
It is located in the center of a rich farming community and draws its membership and support from over a wide area in every direction. There was a good attendance Sunday, considering the counter-at-tractions and a good time is reported.
Following the Sunday school session, Stephen J. Cory, Secretary of the Foreign Missionary Society, delivered an address on the work of the Christian church in all foreign fields. He made another address in the afternoon and a history of the Nameless Creek church and its organization was read. A big basket dinner was served at noon on tables north of the church.
Among the Greenfield people who attended were Elmer Gant and wife, Chauncey Duncan and wife, John Orr and wife, Rebecca Rock, William Davis and wife, Mrs. A. S. Orr, Ross Davis and daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John Brooks.
America's Foremost Lady Composer Very few lady composers have met with such great success as has Henrietta Blanke-Belcher, who for the past ten years has been one of the principal writers for Jerome H. Remick & Co. She first made a reputation as a waltz writer, and some of her waltzes, especially the new "Polaire Waltzes," are having a world-wide popularity. On the program of the coronation ball recently given in London, these waltzes held the place of honor, being put on just before the intermission, and comment was made that it was the only number on the dancing program written by an American composer. She has lately written some very high-class songs, ai\d the song "Love Dreams" is one of the popular songs of the day. Her latest and probably her best song, "My Only One," is, however, destined to outrival it in popularity, since it will appeal to almost all music lovers, and not alone to those who only see merit in the modern classics. The lyric is worthy of the musical setting that Miss Belcher gave it, and will appeal to those who seek merit in both the words and music of a song. We append the refrain: The stars above may shine so bright
My only one!
But you will be my guiding light, My only one! Your presence, dear, means more to me Than all the dreams of life to be xour kiss is blissful ecstacy,
My only one! My only one!
Rushville Man Has An Airship.

Mr. Culbertson says he has been dreaming about airships ever since he was a small boy, and it has alway° been his life's ambition to fly in machine which he had planned and invented. Mr. Culbertson admits that he is afraid to ride in any aeroplane except the one which he designed and planned.

READ THIS MAN'S STORY
A Man from Minneapolis, Minnesota Writes Us May 27, 1911:
"You may perhaps be interested in hearing of my personal experience with BONANO.
Some months ago I wTas taken to the hospital and for over four weeks could take no food of any kind, liquid or solid. During that time I vomited two or three times per hour, and I sank lower and lower every day. Then I went through an operation which reduced my vitality to the lowest possible ebb. "The physicians and nurses still fought to save my life every food, stimulant and medicine known to medical science to be of use in such cases was brought into play, but my stomach refused to do its part. Everything was done that could be done and yet I was starving to death and very near the end. "The physicians finally gave it up, and they came and told me so.~ 'It's up to you,' thoy said, and I can assure you I never before quite realized the full force of that expression. "It was up to me and my brain awoke from its lethargy of the past weeks to action. 'BONANO,' why hadn't I thought of it before? I wronder if BONANO won't help me out? I asked my wife to get some for me. It was brought and she made some for me in the hospital kitchen. "The first hour the nurse fed me a cupful, giving it in spoonfuls every few minutes. I was given three more ciipfuls during that 24 hours and the next 24 hours I took a cupful .every three hours. I retained every drop of it the first thing of any description that had stayed on my stomach in 29 days. My stomach grew stronger every hour, and after three days' continued use of
BONANO, I was able to retain a little broth and some soft-boiled egg. "I gained rapidly each day, using BONANO with my meals and two or three times between meals. In three weeks' time I was able to be moved on a stretcher to my home, and as I left the hospital one doctor told me I was the sickest patient ever in the institute that left it alive. "I might mention that the hospital I was in was in connection with the Medical College that ranks third in the world in medical science and surgery. I had the best the institution could give. "I have gone more into detail in this matter that you may know that I was a Sick man and that BONANO was given a good test by an exceeding weak stomach. "There is much I can say in praise of BONANO. This I will say at this time: I have given BONANO a much severer test than one in a million could give it, and live to report and I am confident that BONANO is the most easily digested and assimilated food, liquid or solid, obtainable. "I am glad BONANO is in good hands, hands that will, as rapidly as possible, show it to ALL the people. "I owe my life to the use of BONANO at the time I mention. "Do you wonder I believe in it, and want everybody to know it and use it?"

ENTERTAINS ENTIRE FAMILY ON BIRTHDAY OCCASION. John S. Orr celebrated his sev-enty-third birthday Friday by entertaining all his children and their families at. a splendid dinner at his home on North East street. Those who partook of the feast were W. T. Orr and family, of Jackson township Walter Orr, Jesse Orr and family, James Williams, wife and family, Bert Orr and wife, of this city Mrs. Mary Garriott, of Richmond, and Walter Addison and wife.
Joint Institute.
The Jackson and Blue River town ships' preliminary institutes were held jointly Monday at Westland. County Superintendent George J. Richman was in attendance. These schools do not open until next Monday.
John Adler was at Anderson Friday on business.
Camp Grounds Crowded Last Day— Scores of Autos, Electric Cars, Cariages, Etc., Take Crowd.
The big annual camp meeting of the Eastern Indiana Holiness Association, held at their grounds at Cleveland, closed with Sunday's services. Immense crowds attended the last services which w:ere of unusual interest.
People went in automobiles, carriages, buggies, on electric and the steam cars. They flocked to the grounds from every direction. At one time, before the rain in the afternoon, there w^ere more than fifty automobiles counted inside of the grounds. There were many machines on the outside. The rain scattered the crowd some and cut down the attendance at the night service, but still there were as many as could be accommodated.
The meetings have been both interesting and beneficial and have been a great success in every way. The workers have been earnest and enthusiastic and the people in general and members of the association in particular, have done all in their power to make the results as far reaching as possible.
RICHMOND MAYOR WOULD BOND DRIVERS OF AUTO.
Says the Reckless Driver, Whether Slow or Fast, is the One Who Causes All Accidents.
Mayor W. W. Zimmerman, of Richmond, has a plan to cope with the reckless auto driver. He said recently in open court that it was not the speedy driver who was likely to injure people, but the reckless driver, whether he be driving fast or slow. "I favor a law to repeal the present speed laws and provide that the owners of every automobile when registering his machine and receiving a number from the secretary of state, shall be compelled to file a bond in a penal sum of not less than $5,000. In case the automobile injures a citizen of this state, action on the bond may be taken, believe this would be the means of reducing the number of reckless and incompetent drivers to the minimum. Under the existing laws the incompetent driver is responsible for more accidents to pedestrians than the speeder."
The Harvester.
The Harvester is Gene Stratton Porter's newest book. It is just from the press of Doubeday Page & Co., Garden City, N. Y. It is one of the most beautiful books of the season, with a number of threecolored illustrations. No more interesting book than this has come from this press in many months. It is full of beauty and nature. The prospects are that it will be as popular a book as Freckles, and A Girl of Limberlost.
Mrs. Porter has lavished upon this unique story all the wealth of nature-lore and nature-love from her years of patient, enthusiastic study. "The Harvester," David Langston, is a man of the woods and fields, who draws his living from the prodigal hand of Mother Nature herself—selling the medicinal roots and herbs and barks, the wild mushrooms and so on, which are his for the gathering. If the book had nothing in it but the splendid figure of this man, with his sure grip on life, his superb optimism, and his almost miraculous knowledge of nature secrets, it would be notable. But when the Girl comes to his 'Medicine Woods" and the Harvester's whole sound, healthy, large outdoor being realizes that this is the highest poiiil of life which has come to him— there begins a romance, troubled and interrupted, yet of the rarest idyllic quality. And the tale of how happiness finally evolves from the tangle, because of the very qualities which made David a man in a thousand, will prove even more absorbing than the author's former stories.
