HOTEL COLUMBIA GOING THE PAGE

REACHED ZENITH OF WONDERFUL POPULARITY FRIDAY— 73 GUESTS WERE ENTER­

TAINED WITH SHAY'S BEST SERVICE.

EVERY STATE CONTRIBUTES

To the Patronage of This HighClass Hostelry and the Famous Chicken Dinners Are Known and

It is probable that only a small per cent, of the people of Greenfield and Hancock county fully realize to what great extent the business of the Columbia Hotel on East Main street has grown within the past few months, under the management of G. W. Shay and wife, who know the secret of successful hotel management from start to finish. It is a known fact that until a few months ago tourists shunned Greenfield in a great many instances, or went through the city at full speed limit because of the fact that there were no first-class hotel accommodations.

The above conditions are now radically changed, however, and Greenfield is one of the most popular stopping places along the National Road, and this change is due largely, if not wholly, to the fact that tourists and moneyed pleasure seekers cannot get better hotel accommodations anywhere than right here at the Columbia Hotel.

After this big, fine and commodious hotel had been practically a failure since its erection, and closed for months and considered as good only for trading property, it evidently took considerable nerve and knowledge of the business to induce Mr. Shay to take hold of it and spend the money necessary to make it a high-class hostelry.

Notwithstanding the dark and unsuccessful past history of this hotel, Mr. Shay was undismayed, as he saw the light of the traveling publie and the appreciation of the home people shining in the near future, and he has caused that light to descend and rest gracefully on his hotel, even more quickly than .• was anticipated. The results have more than justified his assertion that Greenfield could and would support a first-class hotel with the aid of the many travelers who pass this way. There has never been a time since he first opened the doors of his hotel to the public that Mr,

Shay has been discouraged, for the business has continued to increase and the home people show their appreciation as well as travelers.

The Columbia Hotel reached the zenith of its wonderful popularity last Friday, when seventy-three guests were entertained with Shay's best, which is unsurpassed anywhere. Shay's famous chicken dinners are known and talked of from one end of the National Road to the other, and in other directions, as far as tourists passing through Greenfield have traveled, for the big sign never fails to attract, and the dinners never fail to fully satisfy and the result is a wide popularity that it seems will soon tax the capacity of local resources.

Almost every state in the union has been represented at the tables of the Columbia Hotel, as automobile parties who have been served tell others they meet, with such unstinted praise that in several instances parties have traveled out of their regular course in order to enjoy a fine chicken dinner, which ihey remember and advertise, as /Vythey go on their way rejoicing.

Talked of By Tourists From All Directions Is a Big Factor in Making Greenfield a Popular Stopping Place By Travelers.

As an instance of the drawing this hotel/ among thl

guests Friday the banner day, were M. S. Morgan, of Philadelphia, Pa., head of the interurban system R. I. Todd, of Indianapolis, president of the T. H. I. & E. F. C. Ball, of Muncie, of the Ball Brothers Fruit Jar Company, the largest in the world H. A. Mitchell, of Anderson, president of the Union Traction Company F. A. Mitchell and Arthur N. Brady, of Anderson H. H. Hayner, of Minneapolis, Minn. C. J. Corkhill, of Omaha, Neb. C. D. Robinson, of St. Louis, Mo. George H. Shuch, of Indianapolis L. E. Manley, of Cleveland, Ohio J. J. Cole, of the Cole Motor Company, of Indianapolis 0. H. Hesson and Miss Irene Campbell, of Cincinnati, 0. Misses, Ethel Henry, Ella Cary, Pearl Harris and EfTie Watson, terminal station telephone operators at Indianapolis, who came over especially to enjoy a chicken dinner. These are a few of that one day's guests, and shows the scope of the territory touched by this hotel.

Mr. and Mrs. Shay, who personally conduct this hotel, had won a great deal of fame before coming to Greenfield, with their chicken dinners at their Lake "View Hotel on the National Road west of Philadelphia, where they served the traveling public and special parties for seven years. Here they have better facilities for entertaining and they use every means at their command to make the entertainment satisfactory and have evidently been successful. While the traveling and ever hungry public have almost broken the speed limit to accept the hospitably of Mr. and Mrs. Shay, the "home folks" have also patronized the hotel liberally and gladly, realizing as they do the advantage such a place is to the city and her various enterprises, and making it possible to entertain handsomely without any work or worry to the entertainers. The different societies, clubs and business men give frequent dinner parties that are without exception pleasing and perfect in every particular, and especially do the young people gladly take advantage of the facilities for entertaining afforded by the hotel with its handsome appointments.

Since taking charge of the hotel, Mr. Shay has spent several hundred dollars in putting the interior and the furnishings in first-class condition.

In addition to the other services rendered to the public by this hotel, Mr. Shay, the manager, has now invited' the chairman of all political parties to hold their speakings at. the hotel, donating the use of the parlor, halls and balcony, for the band, speakers and special guests. As the balcony extends out over the entire sidewalk on Main street, •almost an unlimited number of people-could be accommodated in front and at each side of the speaker.

RESULTS TELL.

There Can Be No Doubt About the Results in Greenfield.

Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a Greenfield citizen

Can easily be investigated. What better proof can be had? Mrs. Hettie Ellis, 120 Brandywlne street, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I was subject to attacks of kidney trouble for a number of years and I also had symptoms of dropsy. I suffered intensely from pains in my back and shoulders and sometimes I was so weak that I could scarcely move about. I had dizzy spells and my feet and ankles were so badly swollen at times that I could not wear my shoes. My whole body bloated and the secretions from my kidneys were unnatural. Although I took medicine almost constantly, I continued to suffer and was at a loss to know what to do. One day I read a statement given by parties who had been cured of kidney complaint through the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. This induced me to procure a supply of this remedy at Quigley's Drug Store and begin its use. I was benefited from the first and by the time I had taken the contents of six boxes, the swelling and pain disappeared. Six months later I had another slight attack of kidney complaint, but Doan's Kidney Pills promptly gave relief. I keep this remedy on hand and I know that it has been the means of prolonging my life. There are no words strong enough to express my praise for Doan's Kidney Pills."

Are the Fly and Mosquito Dangerous?-!^?

The fly, with spongy feet, collects the invisible germs of diseases, spreads them over our food and poisons us with typhoid and cholera. The mosquito with its bite injects into our veins malaria and yellow fever. The bacteria of consumption, or grip, are everywhere present for us to breathe into our lungs. The blood which flows through our veins and arteries is our protection. It should contain healthy red and white blood corpuscles—capable of warding off these disease germs. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a blood medicine and alterative made entirely without alcohol, a pure glyceric extract of bioodroot, golden sea), Oregon grape root, queen's root, mandrake and stone root, which has enjoyed a good reputation for over forty years. The refreshing influence of this extract is like Nature's influence—the blood is bathed in the tonic which gives life to the blood the vital fires of the body burn brighter and their increased activity consumes the tissue rubbish which has accumulated during the winter.

George J. Richman, county superintendent of schools, has secured two good instructors for the coming institute the last of this month, beginning the 26th and continuing over the 30th. Prof. E. W. Chubb, dean of the Ohio University at Athens, Ohio, will lecture on Pedagogy and English. Prof. H. W. Elson, also of the Ohio University, will lecture on History and Pedagogy. Both men are -popular lecturers. Mr. Elson is the author of "Sidelights on American History," and other popular volumes. There will also be other visitors representing the state department and some of the other institutions of learning.

Smiles and Jumps to Death. Waving his hand at the engineer and smiling as the engine passed him, an unidentified man threw himself under the baggage car of a fast Pennsylvania train at New Castle and was ground to pieces by the wheels. The body was mangled so badly that it is impossible to give a description of the man. Coroner Hiatt has the case in hand.

A. S. Jones, of the Lee Pharmacy, Chico, Cal., who has handled Foley & Co.'s medicines for many years, says: "I consider that Foley's Honey and Tar Compound has no equal, and is the one cough medicine I can recommend as containing no narcotics or other harmful properties."

A STOCK RAISER

Walter Derry Buys and Sells Large Numbers of Hogs and Cattle— Spending Money on Good

Buildings and Fences.

Walter Derry, of Jackson township, was in this city today with a car load of 21 fat cattle, which he shipped to the Indianapolis stockyards. He will ship seventy head of hogs that will average 180 pounds on Friday of this week.

Mr. Derry raises large numbers of hogs and ships a car load frequently, as he buys many, in addition to what he raises. He farms on a large scale and has been making some extensive improvements on his farm in the way of buildings. Last year he built a fine 42x60 barn and installed a set of wagon and stock scales, and now he is finishing up a fine modern house of nine rooms, with ,a basement, furnace, water system and bath, which will cost upwards of $3,000. Next year he intends to get his farm all under good new fences. Mr. Derry is a hard worker and a money maker, but he believes in enjoying some of the good things and conveniences of life as he goes along, and expects to buy an automobile before many seasons roll around.

Flying Men Fall

victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles just like other people, with like results in loss of appetite, backache, nervousness, headache, and tired, listless, run-down feeling. But there's no need to feel like that as T. D. Peebles, Henry, Tenn., proved. "Six bottles of Electric Bitters," he writes, "did more to give me new strength and good appetite than all other stomach remedies I used." So they help everybody. It's folly to suffer when this great remedy will help you from the first dose. Try it. Only 50 cents at M. C. Quigley's.

WANTS TO LOCATE

F. Crawford, of Greenwood, Writes to Mayor—Would Build a Factory To Employ1 From 150 To 250 Persons.

Mayor Ora Myers received the following letter today from J. F. Crawford, an attorney and real estate man of Greenwood, which is self-explanatory. "July 31, 1912. "Hon. Mayof of Greenfield, "Greenfield, Indiana, "Dear Sir:—We have under way the organization canning company and contemplate locating a factory either in eastern or northern Indiana. If we are not mistaken, there is no enterprise of this kind in Greenfield at present, and we are of the opinion that the farm land surrounding it. is very well adapted to the raising of peas, corn and tomatoes. Hence we are looking on your city as a favorable location. According to our present plans, we will erect a factory with a capacity of 100,000 cases, or more, and will employ 150 to 250 persons during the canning and packing season. A factory of this size affords a very excellent market for farmers within a radius of five to seven miles. We are addressing you to ascertain what financial support could be obtained from your local commercial bodies and any further information that you may be able to give us along the lines we have outlined, We thank you in advance for a full reply and trust we may hear from you at your earliest convenience. Yours very truly, "J. F. CRAWFORD."
