II CLEVER SWINDLE

Smooth, Oily Tongued Individual Has Roped in Several in Other Counties—Look Out for Him.

An unusually artistic swindler is making the rounds, and not long ago. succeeded in roping in a number of people in adjoining counties to the tune of $40 to $60 each. He represents himself as the general agent of a Kansas City concern, which he said made the combination tool, which he exhibited. It is a good tool—pincers, hammer, pliers, wire cutter, etc., well made, useful in every respect. He was establishing township and county agencies, and as evidence of the ease with which it could be sold, he exhibited fifty or more orders he had taken from good farmers in the community.

What he wanted was a good, responsible man, well known in the county, who would act as agent, receive and distribute tne tools already ordered, and take such orders as came to him. He offered to pay a good commission for this work and he asked no cash. He was willing to turn over the orders he had already taken and allow the usual commission on each one of these if the new agent would receive, deliver and collect for them. To protect the firm, However, he thought he ought to have a note for the value of the tools already ordered, and which wTOuld be shipped the next week. In his anxiety to get the good commission the new agent gives the note. No tools ever came, and the note turns up afterward at the bank for collection. Let him alone.

"Homes of Yesterday."

The Rev. Mrs. Daisy Barr, former pastor of the Friends' church here, on Sunday preached a strong sermon of general interest from the pulpit of the Friends church at Muncie, of which she is now pastor, her topic being "The Homes of Yesterday. In part Mrs. Barr said: "When we consider the subject of home from any standpoint, we immediately have the interest* of the people, because of the appreciation of home. Someone has said that the strength of the nation, especially a republican nation, is in the intelligence and well ordered homes of the people. Theodore Roosevelt has lately said that no nation can rise above its homes, and if we are to seek the history of the nation we have to seek the history of the homes, and then we know the nation's history. "Thinking of the home of yesterday, I believe it would be interesting to go back to the very first homes. We take so much for granted in this life that we forget that these early homes were very different from ours. We can hardly believe that there were no homes and that there are countries where the word 'home' is not known. We can scarcely think that there are thousands of people who in their language have no words representing 'love,' 'sacrifice' and 'home.' We forget that the whole human race only a few periods ago was entirely homeless. "Marriage was a temporary matter with man. He bought his wife for so many cattle, goats or sheep, and if she decreased in value, owing to incompetence or impudence, she was sold at market value, or at least turned out of her tribe or clan. Can we comprehend that this is true today? The word 'home,' the loving word' mother,' and the words 'husband' and 'wife' are only sacred in those countries where the life, love and liberty of Jesus Christ is revered. In speaking of the American home, I do so because I know perhaps more about that home than any other home. After the development of the Christian church, homes began to be established, no longer by tribes, but by families. Some one has said that you cannot build a home with brick or stone, with sills, posts or pillars and that homes are only built on love. The home of yesterday was vastly different from the home of today as to its industrial features. "The American home of yesterday became a factory, a business place, a shop or a market, where everything that was used in the household was manufactured. The Neighbor A repaired the roof for Neighbor B, and Neighbor cut wood for neighbor A. Flax and wool were exchanged for meat, and the neighborhood, like the entire family, depended upon one another. I remember the home of yesterday. My friends, if you will ever have the influence of such a home you are fortunate you will never wander so far but what the

influence of that home shall be yours. "Religious service was never forgotten in the early days. There were a few books, scarcely any papers, but the book of books was the Bible. It was here that we got our stories and fiction, the stories of tragedy, yes, and some of the comedy. It was here where we learned our first poems, and it was here, in the home of yesterday, that in the quiet hour of the day we learned something of the voice of God. It was the early settlers of the states of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and of a great many of the eastern states that were God-fearing men and the women simple Christlike and loving household wives. "The social feature of the home of yesterday was the church. It was here that everything worth while came to the people. The minister was not only supposed to bring the people the message, but also to give them the news. People would travel seven to fourteen miles to attend and sit at the meeting from one to three hours in silence, waiting upon the Lord. These are some of the influences of the home of yesterday these are some of the things that have made great men and great women. It was because of the children being taken care of in an industrial way, because of the splendid social condition of the home, and because of the church's furnishing the social spirit of the community."

PROCLAMATION.

Inasmuch as the Board of Directors of the Indianapolis Trade Association adopted resolutions petitioning the Governor of the State of Indiana*and the Mayors of the State to issue proclamations for the general observance of "Fire Prevention Day" on October 9th of each year and urge all citizens to observe the day. That all school boards having the care of children take warning from former terrible disasters, to the end that the public may be spared shocks of this character in the future.

The citizens of Greenfield have learned how to discover and extinguish a fire, but as yet have not learned how to prevent one. The property loss in this city has been small as compared to other cities and much of that might have been saved had our methods of prevention been as efficient as our method of extinguishing them. We, as citizens, have the individual task of the prevention of disease, crime and other ills. More thought of the rat and loose matches, cracked flue or bad stove-pipe will soon convert itself into dollars.

Therefore, to the end that we may conserve, not only our property, but our lives I, Ora Myers, Mayor of the City of Greenfield, Indiana, do hereby proclaim October 9, 1911, as

Fire Prevention Day

and call upon all of the citizens and property owners of the city, on that day to give personal attention to the removal of rubbish and debris from their premises see that heating appliances are in safe and proper condition for winter use to examine chimneys and flues that the breakage and cracks may be properly repaired and cleaned that all wood that is in contact be removed, and at all times matches and volatile oils be handled very carefully and to avoid the carelessness of the burning of rubbish. I also recommend that on this day instruction be given to the children of the public schools with reference to the fire hazard of matches, gasoline and other volatile oils, and that simple methods of fire prevention and rescue work be taught.

Signed this the 25th day of September, 1911, at Greenfield, Ind. ORA MYERS, Mayor.

Col. W. I. Burnside & Son. Col. W. I. Burnside & Son have leased the livery barn at the corner of Mount and North streets, and will conduct a feed and hitch-in stable. The public is cordially invited to patronize this new firm, and are assured of prompt, courteous and careful attention. This firm has good accommodations and is in position to handle and properly care for a large number of horses and rigs.

Col. Burnside will also keep his well known thoroughbred draft stallion, "Chestnut," at this stable, where he will make the fall season. Col. Burnside can also be found at his placB of business by all persons desiring him to cry their sales. He most respectfully solicits a share of patronage in all lines of his business from the public, and guarantees to do everything in his power to satisfy all his patrons. Don't forget the place. Col.

Daniel Stoner.

There is almost an element of awe and grandeur when we consider the life of one of our pioneer citizens whose life and work is identified with the beginning and history of a given community. We can scarcely realize now what the country was in the early days of the settlers who made their homes in the wilderness. This is particularly true in the life of the deceased, which began almost with the history of this community.

Daniel Stoner was born in Brown county, Ohio, October 30, 1829, not many miles from the then small town of Cincinnati, and departed this life at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John S. McCord, in McCordsville, September 21, 1911, age 81 years, 10 months and 21 days.

His father, Kasper Stoner, came from the Switzerland border of Germany when a lad of 16 years of age. Daniel was the third of a family of eight children, and early learned to care for himself. When he was about 12 years old his father and mother moved from Ohio to Marion county, Ind., where they built their home in the forest. Daniel, as a boy, received his early education in the old time subscription schools of Ohio and Indiana, attending about sixty days each year in the rudely constructed log school houses of the early days. The remainder of the time was devoted to the arduous labor on the home farm. But young Daniel Stoner wras an apt student, and when about 18 years old was teaching school. It was while attending these schools that young Stoner as a boy fell in love with a neighbor girl named Martha Ann Haffield, and they liked to tell in later years how they wrote notes in each other's writing books. Naturally this led to their later courtship and marriage on April 6, 1851, when Daniel was 21 years of age and his bride 18. Their happy married life extended over a period of almost 54 years. Their golden wedding anniversary, which they celebrated in 1901, was one of the happiest events of their lives.

Their union was blessed with eleven children, three of whom died in infancy, the others being Eliza J. Stoner, deceased in 1908 Nelson M. Stoner, of Fortville Elmer E. Stoner, of Greenfield, deceased in 1907 Frances Olive Welling, of near Cumberland Alice McCord, of McCordsville Charles H. Stoner, of near Mt. Comfort Theodosia Johnson, of Hancock, Mich., and Walter B. Stoner, of Indianapolis.

In early life Mr. and Mrs. Stoner became devoted Christian workers and taught these principles in their home. He assisted with his own labor in building a number of churches and always gave liberally to their support.

As a citizen he was always a determined and active man, ready to lend his help to any public work. As a husband and father he was always loving, kind and devoted to the welfare of his family.

As he lived a true Christian life, full of patience and devotion to all that was good and noble, so came the end, when he passed away almost in sleep and apparently without motion or pain.

The funeral services were held at the Methodist Episcopal church at McCordsville, Sunday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. J. O. Bills, whose text was, "He Was a Good Man." Rev. Bills applied this to the life of Mr. Stoner in four different angles, as follows: (1) a good citizen (2) a good husband (3) a good father (4) a good Christian. d&w

Deafness Cannot Be Curea

«»w local applications, as they cannot reach the eased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case ot Deafness (caused by catarrh) that/ cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
