THE J. AVARD WALKER COMPANY'S CLEARANCE SALE IS SPREADING OVER LARGE

TERRITORY WELL PLEASED WITH RESULTS.

MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS

Of Honest and Successful Dealings With the People Have Made This Store Known in Every Household

For Many Miles in Any Direction—Their Clearance Sale Continues.

The J. Ward Walker Company is well pleased with the results of their big fall clearance sale, which is starting on its second week, and has so far been a splendid success.

They advertised the sale widely through the papers and with posters, and this together with their long established reputation in this city, made the special sale an event out of the ordinary. Their sales have not only extended to every part of Hancock county, to the towns as well as the country, but they have sent furniture and other goods to Knightstown and one bill of rugs was purchased by a Cincinnati party, and were shipped last week.

The J. Ward Walker Company has been in business in Greenfield for more than fifty years, and they have supplied goods to three generations. They have a reputation that can only be acquired by long years of faithful, honest, business dealings with their patrons, and their present enviable reputation is justly deserved.

During the past season this company has found it necessary to add another department to their large Masonic Temple store, and now they occupy two floors of the Walker building on North State street, known as the "Walker Annex," which is crowded with furniture, rugs and draperies.

Their present big sale started a week ago Monday and will continue with the reduction in prices advertised, until their stock is reduced to the point they desire, and which their floor room justifies. Clearance Sale prices will prevail in every department of their two big stores.

Saved By His Wife.

She's a wise woman who knows just what to do when her husband's life is in danger, but Mrs. R. J. Flint of Braintree, Yt., is of that kind. "She insisted on my using Dr. King's New Discovery," writes Mr. F. "for a dreadful cough, when I was so weak my friends all thought I had only a short time to live, and it completely cured me." A quick cure for coughs and colds it's the most safe and reliable medicine for many throat and lung troubles— grip, bronchitis, croup, whooping cough, quinsy, tonsilitis, hemorrhages. A trial will convince you. 50 cts. and $1.00. Guaranteed by M. C. Quigley.

FOUND FOR DEFENDANTS

Justice Garrett Gives Decision in Case Venued From Vernon.

Justice Joseph Garrett gave his decision yesterday in the case of Harry and Ida Merrell vs. Samuel S. and Gertrude Cory, in an action for possession of real estate, and other property. He found in favor of the defendants. The case was tried and the arguments made last week and the case then taken under advisement. The case was venued here from Yernon township, where it had been filed before two different justices.

Mrs. Paul Wehling, 316 Smith St., Peoria, 111., had kidney and bladder trouble, with terrible backache and pain across the hips. Just imagine her condition. She further says: "I was also very nervous, had headaches and dizzy spells, and was fast gettinjg worse when I took Foley Kidney Pills, and now all of my troubles are cured. Foley Kidney Pills have done so much for me, I shall always recommend them."-M. C. Quigley.

My stock of good and building, upon which I sustained a fire loss on September 24, 4912, were both insured in the C. W. Morrison agency stock in Humboldt Fire Insurance company, of Pittsburg, Pa., and the building in Prussian National of Stettin, Germany. Both losses have been adjusted to my satisfaction and both losses have been' paid. J. M. Hinchman. Idl

ELECTRIC WIRES CROSSED AT THEATRE

Short Circuit Caused Smoke That Drew Large Crowd at Why Not—No Damage Done.

A great crowd of people was attracted to the Why Not Theater at 5 o'clock Monday evening by an alarm of fire. It seems that in running a new reel through the machine, some electric wires became crossed, causing a short circuit which caused considerable smoke, but no real danger, as everything was adjusted and moving along all right when the firemen, who made a quick run, arrived on the scene. A crowd equal to a street fair, was gathered in front of the theater and there was considerable excitement for a time.

The wires were repaired and the evening show opened at the usual time.

J. G. Criswell, a painter living at 540 North Mulberry St., Hagerstown, Md., states: "I had kidney trouble with a severe pain across my back, and could hardly get up after silting down. I took Foley Kidney Pills and soon found the pain left my back. I could get up and down with ease, and the bladder action was more regular and normal." Try them. M. C. Quigley.

Charles E. Grose, who has been sick for three weeks with catarrhal fever, is able to be on the street again, though he is very weak. This is the first time a physician has been called to prescribe for Mr. Grose in almost 20 years. He was sick with typhoid fever more than nineteen years ago, and this sick spell is the first time he has called a physician since that time.

Sunday being the 78th birthday of Harvey Anderson, of R. R. 9, his friends and relatives gathered and spent a very pleasant day. Among those present were James Anderson and family, of Rushville Cicero Harris and family, Mrs. Will Anderson, Gertrude Snider, of Indianapolis Mrs. James Ash and daughter. of Shelbyville S. E. Gunning and wife, of Freeport Renzie Gunning and family and Leslie Belle and wife, of Manilla Mr. Vanosdal, of Florida J. H. Anderson, of Charlottesville, and Nobe Thompson and wife,, Jessie Anderson and family, Chester Gates and family and Mrs. Herbert Webb and son, of this city.

NEW RECIPE FOR LONGEVITY.

Muncie Man 101 Years Old, Tells Why He Lived So Long.

When asked to tell what he ascribed his long life, Christian F. Swain, of Muncie, who is 101 years old, said: "I owe my long life largeI think, to minding my own business and not. meddling with all my neighbors' affairs." At the time of his remarks. Mr. Swain was surrounded by three hundred descendants of himsHf and a sister who came over from Germany with him. Mr. Swain walked from New York State to Indiana when he came to this country.

Saves Leg of Boy.

"It seemed that my 14-year-old boy would have to lose his leg on account of an ugly ulcer, caused by a bad bruise," wrote D. F. Howard, Aquone, N. C. "All remedies and doctors' treatment failed till we tried Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and cured him with one box.'/ Cures burns, boils, skin .eruptions, piles. 25c at M. C. Quigley's.

A 65-Pound Pumpkin.

O. E. Oxer, of West Fifth street, has a pumpkin on exhibition at Fred Havens' grocery that weighs 65 pounds. It measures two feet across the top. Mr. Oxer thinks that some of his farmer friends will have to get a move on them to beat this pumpkin.

Almon Keifer left today for South Dakota, where he goes to make final proof claims on 160 acres of land, which was allotted to him in the apportionment of an Indian Reservation. He will be gone a few weeks.

MACHINES STRUCK

Motorcycle of Elba Jacobs and the Automobile of James Reed Came Together South of This City.

Elba Jacobs is nursing a badly skinned and bruised hand and arm as the result of a collision yesterday of his motorcycle with James F. Reed's automobile, south of town just north of Ed Mclntyre's farm.

The machines were going in opposite directions when they approached the corner and because of a corn field the occupants of the machine and Mr. Jacobs could not see each other until the machines were only about twenty feet apart, and it was then too late to avoid an accident. The motorcycle struck the fender of the car and Mr. Jacobs was tossed into the car and out again, running his arm through the wheel of the motorcycle which was demolished. The automobile was also damaged. While Mr. Jacobs was painfully hurt, he says he was lucky to escape without any broken bones.

Fortunes in Faces.

There's often much truth in the saying "her face is her fortune," but it's never said where pimples, skin eruptions, blotches, or other blemishes disfigure it. Impure blood is back of them all, and shows the need of Dr. King's New Life Pills. They promote health and beauty. Try them. 25 cents at M. C. Quigley's.

GREENFIELD HORSE WON $50 SILVER CUP AT PENDLETON

Greenfield was well represented at the Pendleton Horse Show last Friday and Saturday, and many of the ribbons were carried to this city.

BODY OF JASON CHANDLER BURIED AT PARK CEMETERY

Jason Chandler died Sunday afternoon at his home in Indianapolis, after an illness of a few days with obstruction of the bowels.

Mr. Chandler formerly lived in this county and followed carpentering and farming. He went to Anderson from here and later went to Indianapolis. He was calling on relatives and friends here three weeks ago. He is a brother-in-law of W. 0. Dudding, of East Main street. The remains arrived here Tuesday from Indianapolis at 3:30 p. m., and were taken to the cemetery from the train.

Sausage Season Here.

The sausage season has come again, as it always accompanies the frosty weather, and the new sorghum season. At this time butchers are called upon for this delicacy in the line of meats much more than during the warm weather, and notwithstanding the high price of hogs, several farmers are figuring on killing a shoat and replenishing their larders with fresh meat and sausage to build up the inner man during the arduous fall season of hard work.

"Clean Up the Bowels and Keep Them Clean"

There are many remedies to be had for constipation, but the difficulty is to procure one that acts without violence. A remedy that does not perform or a should be accomplished by persuasion is Dr. Miles'

Laxative Tablets. After using them, Mr. N. A. Waddell, 315 Washington St., Waco, Tex., says: "Almost all my life I have been

troubled with constipation, and have tried many remedies, all of which ••emed to cause pain without giving much relief. I finally tried Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets and found them excellent. Their action is pleasant, and mild, and their chocolate taste makes them easy to take. I am more, than Clad to recommend them." "Clean up the bowels and keep them clean," is the advice of all physicians, because they realize the danger resulting from habitual constipation. Do not delay too long, but begin proper curative measures.

Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets area new remedy for this old complaint, and a great improvement over the cathartics you have been using in the past. They taste like candy and work like a charm. A trial will convince you.

Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets art sold by all druggists, at 25 cents a box containing 25 doses. If not found satisfactory after trial, return the box to your druggist and he will return your money. MILKS MEDICAL CO.. Klkhart, Inrf.

Land History Repeats Itself

(Private Car Excursion, October 15th.)

IN 1612 farm lands in America sold for beads or trinkets. IN 1712 for tobacco. IN 1812 for $1 or less an acre. IN 1912 as high as $500 to $1,000 per acre. From 1612 to 1912 every generation said: "Oh! How we would like the chance to get land our fathers had." Some who saw the opportunity in their own day bought land and laid the foundations for some of the world's greatest fortunes.
