JOHN RAWN ft PROMINENT CITIZEN

The new Novel, by Emerson Hough, just out.

It has been said that this book is the strongest book that Hough has written. It will live and will be widely read, and is a book that every thinking mind should read. It was written to be read by men and women who think and act. It deals with great questions. It presents great wrongs, the existence of which wrongs must be recognized, and it shows the failure of our civilization to right these wrongs. Mr. Hough has presented his views in a masterful way.

NEWS OF SHIRLEY HER PEOPLE

Have Given Up (he Radiator Factory Two Weeks of School —New Meat Market.

John Madison. John Buck and Bill Casey, of Kennard, were in Shirley on business Saturday.

Just two more weeks of school on the Henry county side. The 8th grade pupils are making a great stride for the examination to enter high school at Kennard next year.

Elmer Gates, who has been confined to his room for some time past, is some better, and will soon be out again attending to his interest in the Gates & Gates meat market.

Mary Jane Chew, who has been very poorly, is reported some better. At one time it was the general opinion that she would not recover, but now7 she is making good progress on the road to health.

Well it seems to be a settled fact now that the Shirley Radiator and Foundry Company will soon locate at Beach Grove.

There are some reports to the effect that Shirley is to have a stove foundry.

L. E. Moore has decided to discontinue the furniture business at this place. While it was the only furniture store in town, it seems that it was not a paying investment.

Mr. Rothschild, of Indianapolis, purchased the bankrupt stock of Ben Croningstein and Jake Albert from the sales trustee, and have put on a sale for a short time. We understand that they will then move the remainder to the city of Indianapolis.

Scott Jackson, Shirley insurance agent and collector, has moved his family to Greenfield, where they will make their future home. Mr. Jackson will continue business here

The Quakers are holding an interesting series of meetings. The results are proving to be good with a splendid turn-out each night.

Dr. Byers has packed his household goods and moved to Lafayette, where he will make his future home.

Elwood Roberts spent Sunday at Greenfield with his family. Mrs. Bent Henshaw7, formerly of Kennard, now residing at Anderson, was in Shirley for a few minutes Saturday.

Ross Hodson has returned to his former quarters. He now occupies the large room he formerly occupied about a year ago. This large room gives him ample space for his implements and buggies.

We are informed that Shirley is to have another meat market soon. As Shirley has only one market, the second might prove to be a good investment, as competition is the life of trade.

i-'~ The Farmers' Telephone Company met at the Farmers' Room in the court house Saturday. The

Company is made up of members from Center, Green, Brown and Jackson townships.

j..

Mary Miars Harrold, paStor of the Friends church, has been called vto Lynn, Ma.ss., on account of the death of a friend. Rev. Woodard, of Knightstown, filled the pulpit at the Friends church here Sunday.

ANOTHER MARCH SNOW ZERO WEATHER DUE

It is the General Opinion That It Was a Short Summer We Had —More March Wreather.

It is not all of March to blow, for it has already demonstrated that it is but very little trouble to change from bad to worse and from balmy sunshine to icy blasts and snow. The snow Monday was just a little bit surprising to those having their mind set on the sunshine of the preceding few days. It wras no surprise to John Hufford, however. John says he has kept pretty close track of the weather, and to the best of his knowledge, this is the 137th snow of the season. That is talking in most too large figures, how7ever, in our opinion. Anyway, we have not wanted for snow7.

There is to be more such weather as this, too, according to Prof. Irl Hicks, who has been redeeming his lost prestige this winter. He says of the remaining days of the month:

From 11th to 14th, windy spells blustry to fair weather at points in the southwest and mid west 15th to 19th, cloudy period. Dark dull clouds from most sections east of the Mississippi river 20th to 23d, rain wave. Henry rain storms in southern and eastern sections severe thunder and lightning in Gulf and South Atlantic States 24th to 28th, cold period. Low temperature and 15 degrees below zero at Bismarck 10 below* at Omaha 2 below at Chicago 8 above at Indianapolis 10 above at Buffalo and 12 above at Boston 29th to 31st, mild w7ave. Soft, slushy weather generally. Ice gorges in the upper Ohio, Susquehanna and Delaware Rivers.

Glorious News

TIME TO BAND TREES. C. H. Baldwin, state, entomologist, has issued a warning regarding the banding of trees. Baldwin asserts all trees should be banded early in order to protect them from a red spider, which goes up the bark after the first warm weather of spring. The same bands, he says, will protect the trees a little later from the tussock moth and the bag worm, although it is not a complete protection, since eggs are laid in protected places on the trunk in the fall and hatch iii the spring.

Miss Selma Stephens spent Saturday with Miss Nelle Davis, on R. R. 9.

Nicholas Miller has moved his family from Shelby county to Swope street in this city, to the property he recently purchased of George Lewark.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1912

Clothes of Clark Ester of Near Carthage Ignited From Cigar— He Was Intoxicated.

BOONS WERE FATAL 'TALK OF ORGANIZING 10 AGED NEGRO A FORESTRY BRANCH

Clark Ester, age 77 years, a colored man of near Carthage, met a horrible death Saturday night, while returning to his home from Ivnightstown in a buggy. He was said to be intoxicated and it is supposed his clothing caught fire from a cigar. His horse became frightened and ran away and threw him out by the roadside, where he was later found near the home of Silas D. Fleener, near his own home. The horse ran directly to the Ester home, drawing the flaming buggy, which had also caught fire and wras! almost completely burned up.

The fact that Ester wore felt boots saved his whole body from being burned. His legs below the knees and his feet were not burned, but there was scarcely another spot on his body that had not been licked by the flames. Ester owned a small farm and leaves a family.

Surprise on Rev. H. W. Robbins. ^.Saturday being the birthday of Rev. H. W. Robbins, pastor of the United Brethren church of this city, the ladies of the Aid Society planned a surprise for him at the home of Ransom Denney on North Wood street, where with the Evangelist, Rev. J. Walter Gibson, he was invited to dinner. Promptly at 11 o'clock found them at the door, and when opened, fifty-six friends greeted him and a table spread with good things to eat. Mr. Robbins was so excited that speech almost left him. so Rev. Gibson became spokesman for him and introduced him to the happy crowd and at the noon hour a photographer appeared and took their pictures. The afternoon was spent in music, singing and a social time, though Mr. Robbins remained very quiet throughout the day. Those from out of town were Misses Viola Sanford and Etta Hawkins, of Route 6 Miss Anna Walker, of Wells county, and Rev. Walter Gibson, of Muncie, who was helping in the revival at the U. B. church.

C. A. Glossner, 24 Ontario St., Rochester, N. Y., has recovered from a Tong and severe attack of kidney trouble, his cure being due to Foley Kidney Pills. After detailing his case, he says: "I am only sorry I did not learn sooner of Foley's Kidney Pills. In a few days' time my backache completely left me, and I felt greatly improved. My kidneys became stronger, dizzy spells left me and I was no longer annoyed at night. I feel 100 per cent, better since using Foley Kidney Pills." M. C. Quigley.

Talk of an "early spring" is going the rounds. Nearly all such talk is based on the fact that this was an early winter. All w7e ask is that March shall not be a w7arm month, then April be a cold, wet one. Such actions on the part of the w7eather usually is wiiat knocks the spring seeding silly.

It may be that the steady cold weather w7e had may be an indicator of woeks and weeks of "bully-for-the-corn" w:eather next summer, but we don't hear anyone saying that it was bully-for the corn while the thermometer was around zero.

WILBUR SMALL MARRIED

His Choice Was Mrs. Laura Jeffries of Waldron, Ind.

Wilbur M. Small, for several years a resident and business man of this city, but now at Shelbyville, was married last week to Mrs. Laura Jeffries of Waldron. The ceremony w7as performed by Rev. Earl North of Shelbyville.

Mr. Small may return to this city to engage in the confectionery business again. The Shelbyville papers speak in high terms of Mrs. Small and extend the best wishes of the community for the future happiness of the couple.

Joseph A. Roberts and family have moved back to their old home farm, two miles north of Maxwell. They were welcomed back by relatives, neighbors and friends, who had their house open and warm, and supper on hands and helped to unload the furniture and get it placed.

Abram W. Frost, Center township trustee, is still confined to his home with rheumatism. ^'v

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Barr were visiting Mrs. Barr's parents J. R. Grandison and wife, near Eden, on Sundfty.

In Greenfield and Hancock County Field Secretary Was Here— City Park is Favored.

Edward J. Hancock, of Indianapolis, field secretary of the Indiana Forestry Association, was in Greenfield a few7 days ago. calling upon the officers of the Commercial Club and other prominent citizens and discussing the matter of organizing a local branch of the State Forestry Association.

The question of preserving, planting and growing trees is one that is attracting quite a great deal of thought and attention throughout the whole country. It has been a live, vital question in many states for years. On account of her natural abundant forests, Indiana has not felt the great need of conserving her forests, but the needs are now7 being manifested, and effective action is now imperative.

Many cities of the state have taken up the work and are looking after planting, trimming and protecting trees. Many such cities are giving especial attention to city parks.

Quite a number of Greenfield citizens have manifested a desire to co-operate in forest preservation work, and it is probable that a local organization will soon be formed. If the city of Greenfield owned the land on Brandywine which includes the "Old Swimmin' Hole." and should make it a public park, she would have .one of the most celebrated parks in the state. And the location would not be bad for a park, either. Tt would have good water, shade and hillside, and could be made quite picturesque.

James Whitcomb Riley has made the City of Indianapolis a gift of a fine, expensive piece of real estate for a public library site. He is said to be very wealthy and w7ho knows but I hat he might give his old native home town grounds for a park, especially when those grounds included a spot made so world-famed by one of his poems. If Greenfield people had a live, active local forestry association, it might accomplish effective wrork along lines that would be of great benefit to the city.

Backache Almost Unbearable is an almost certain result of kidney trouble. D. Tooney, 803 E. Olive street, Bloomington, 111., says: "I suffered with backache and pains in my kidneys which were almost unbearable. I gave Foley Kidney Pills a good trial, and they did ponders for me. Today I can do a hard day's w7ork and not feel the effects." M. C. Quigley.

LEAP YEAR CHANCE FOR RIGHT GIRLS

Five Members of Greenfield's Fire Company Available As Husbands—Generous Offer.

The city of Columbus has a fire company numbering thirty-six, and of that number three are single, and the leap year girls of that city are counting largely on the chance.

Greenfield girls wiio have not yet been asked to join hands and fortunes with some trembling swain at Hymen's altar, have no call to be discouraged, with the pick of the crowd yet uncaught and leap year, which reverses the order of things, at hand. They have to but look around them and tip top chances are almost lying at their feet. They only need to stop and invoice a. bit. Just think! Five big, stout, good-looking, and heroic members of the fire company are available as husbands right nowr, and say. they are no kids, either, ranging in age from 33 to 52 years. The wonder is that they have escaped so long.

The ones in danger if the leap year girls are alive to their opportunity, are Charley Duncan, James Walsh, Frank Hafner,, Earl Jackson and Charles Huston. They are all good-natured and there's not a one of them but would leave a fried oyster supper untasted to rescue you from a burning building, and they have been known to chase the moon during the "wee sma" hours of the morning, when it showed big and yellow like a fire, and never said a mean thing about the person who sent in the alarm. The people are interested in the welfare of our fire fighters and wish them no bad luck, but a reliable proposition has been made to the effect that should any of the available ones decide to be led to the altar by some deserving maid during the open season of leap year, the license and a competent minister will be furnished free of any cost to the victim.

The "Child's Welfare" movement has challenged the attention of thoughtful people everywhere. All mothers are natural supporters, and will find in Foley's Honey and Tar Compound a most valuable aid. Coughs and colds that unchecked lead to croup, bronchitis and pneumonia, yield quickly to the healing and soothing qualities of Foley's Honey and Tar Compound. M. C. Quigley.

Freeman Braddock and Clint Andis, of Rural Route 8, were transacting business here Saturday.
