THE UNION MEETING

Bradley M. E. Church Filled— Splendid Song Service and Interesting Sermon By the

Rev. J. B. Williamson.

The union church service Sunday evening attracted the largest crowd that has yet been in attendance at one of the union services. The large auditorium of the Bradley M. E. church, which seats several hundred people, was comfortably filled. The choir rendered a good program of special numbers, including two anthems and a solo by Rev. Everett Naftzger.

The opening prayer and Scripture lesson were by Rev. Naftzger, and Rev. Joseph B. Williamson, of the Presbyterian church, preached a most interesting and pointed sermon. The Scripture lesson was a part of the second chapter of the Second Epistle of Paul, the Apostle, to Timothy, and the text of the sermon was the third verse, "Thou, therefore, endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." The subject was the "Veteran," and the application of the soldier's life to the life of a true Christian was made very forcibly. Getting in the swing, keeping step with modern f. Progress, and good work, obeying orders, standing firm on the firing and enduring thej necessary ^hardships for the cause of Christ, *were some of the points made,

The sermon held the attention of entire audience.

WILL AID THE BOYS TO AN 1J AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

The State Board of Agriculture, in its premium list for the Indiana State Fair for 1912, outlines a plan whereby a number of Indiana boys, between the ages of 16 and 20, will be helped toward securing an agricultural education at Purdue University School of Agriculture. '5"

Parents who are thinking of sending their boys to this school should write at once to Mr. Chas. Downing, secretary of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture, Indianapolis, Indiana, who will send a premium list, giving full details of the stock and grain judging contest, which will be held Tuesday, September 3d, starting at 8 a. m.

Premiums of scholarships to the value .of $100, $75, $50, $25, respectively, will be awarded for winners of first, second, third and fourth places.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15. 1912

Hamilton Douglas, scoutmaster of Troop No. 1 in Atlanta, Ga., has hit upon an odd and very practical way of demanding the respect of his boys. "To be a successful scout master," he writes in Uncle Remus's Home Magazine, "it is necessary for the boys to feel a certain amount of deference for the master. This is inculcated often in the form of address used. Now, this was a problem for me. I could not encourage the use of the word 'captain,' for we are distinctly a non-military order firearms and fighting we absolutely forbid, hence 'captain' would be absurd. I feared being called professor, as I am no pedagogue plain 'mister' would not do at all, and so remembering too, that the order was founded by Sir S. S. Baden-Powell, I decided to confer the title of 'Sir' on myself, and at once the ready imagination of the boys took fire. "I was 'Sir Douglas' immediately and universally, and my assistant was 'Sir Ware.' The problem was solved through the medium of that saving jgrace of the boy-imag-ination. This very quality is one reason why the organization of the Boy Scouts has become so popular. The age of Boy Scouts is an age of active^ and vivid imagination. All it needs is food. We give it food in our company, and we are a success"

Saturday was a big day in Greenfield in a business way. The rain during the latter part of the week gave all the farmers a holiday and they availed themselves of the opportunity to come to the county seat. The merchants were prepared with many special sales of goods and the business of the day was very satisfactory to all parties. Saturday afternoon the sidewalks and stores were full of people and there was a good crowd in the evening.

B. A. Sunderland, wife and son, Gowdy, and John Hinchman and wife left Sunday for Tippecanoe Lake, where they will occupy the cottage of J. W. Cooper for a week. They went in Mr. Sunderland's automobile.

Woman Finally Recovers From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many people before their time. Often before a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is. on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good condition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna Kounz, 2ii Mechanic St., Pueblo, Colo., says: "For many years I suffered from nervous prostration I was unable to do any house work and doctors failed to help me. Remedies I tried from druggists did not do me a particle of good. A neighbor told my husband about

Dr. Miles9 Nervine

and. he procured a bottle. After "the first few doses I showed a marked improvement and after taking two bottles I was entirely cured. I have bfeen perfectly well for years and cannot praise JPr. Miles' Nervine too highly."

If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep if you are in a general run down condition and unable to bear your part of the daily grind of life, you need something to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the matter with you, but that is no reason why you should delqy treatment.

Dr. Miles* Nervine has proven its value in nervous disorders for thirty years, and merit* a trial, no matter how many other remedies have failed to help yon.

YOU WOULD SPECULATE if you .bought land far away from a railroad, where there is a lack of transportation, where markets are not handy, or where the land is poorly drained *or water supply is insufficient or unfit and one takes changes on the time when these defects will be remedied, if ever.

There is still a good chance for safe land investment, and you need not go into speculation. CERTAIN CONDITIONS that make investment in the Swigart tract the most desirable in Michigan are easy to understand. There's no mystery about it. You know what the conditions of any district's growth are, though you may have never applied this knowledge. The value of land depends in large measure in the number of people who want it. Where there is no demand land goes begging at. any price, no matter what its value. It requires special car excursions every two weeks to take home and land seekers to the Swigart tract. The Points of superiority are ability to raise better and more fruit —apples, cherries, plums, peaches —and staple crops because of being the middle and best part of Michigan's Fruit Belt, where wc have a warm, prolific, sandy loam soil, most moderated weather conditions, and a plentiful rainfall. The lands are just near enough and just far enough from Lake Michigan. We have the transportation of four railroads, and a number of steamship lines. There are schools, churches and new towns, and fine farms throughout the tract. Things have started here and development is following rapidly. The local markets of Ludington and Manistee have 30,000 consumers. A half-day's transit puts our products on the Chicago, Grand Rapids, Detroit and Milwaukee markets at good prices and no spoilage. IT'S A LIVE INVESTMENT —. Steadily each year the values go up. It's an investment on a rising market—not a speculation not guess work. Don't delay in investing because you think the sum of money you have at hand is too little to start with. Putting things sn

A taan cannot understand the torture and suffering many women endure uncomplainingly. If the majority of men suffered as much pain and endured with patience the weakening sicknesses that most women do, they would ask for immediate sympathy and look for a quick cure.

Many women have been saved from a life of misery'and suffering by turning to the right remedy—Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription-^-a remedy which is safe to take because containing no narcotics, alcohol or injurious ingredients. It is an alterative extract of roots, made with pure glycerin, and first given to the public by that famous specialist in the diseases of women—Dr. R. V. Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y.

INVEST

DON'T SPECULATE IN LAND

WHAT ARE YOU living and working for? I ask the question to set you thinking. Do you want to work all your life for a bare existence and leave your family only more hard work? I want to talk to you as though you were a- close friend and had dropped into my office for advice about land investment in Michigan.

YOU WILL GRANT that in buying land you get something tangible and that it is the safest way to invest money. All authorities on the subject urge investment in and cultivation of the land. They foresee the day coming soon, when land-holders will have a tremendous advantage.

TO MAKE MONEY IN LAND, invest—don't speculate in it. Engrave it on your memory that under certain conditions land is valuable and is sure to grow more so. The course for you," whether you have much or little to invest, is: Learn what those conditions are learn where they exist to ihe greatest extent. Then buy land there and let inevitable development reward you.

Harvey Hamilton and wife, of this city, and Emery Hamilton and family, of near Charlottesville, visited Jot Jessup and family in Blue River township Sunday. Mr. Hamilton says the prospects for a good corn crop in that locality are very favorable.

He preached at the Pierson street church at 10:30 at the East Greenfield Heavenly Recruit church at 3 p. m., and at the Pierson street church at 7:30 p. m., on Sunday.
