REGISTER MONDAY LAST OPPORTUNITY

Many in Hancock County Who Have Not Qualified as Yet— Can Not Vole Unless

You Register.

There is probably twenty per cent of voting population of Hancock county who have not yet registered, and this per cent, will have just one more opportunity to qualify as voters in the coming election, November 5th.

This opportunity will be Monday, the 7th. At that time the twentyseven registration places about the county will be open.. Some of them might hold open on the following day also, but there is no certainty of this. It is certain that all the registration points will be optm on Monday, and it is also certain that people who do not register cannot vote.

There is another class of voters those who have registered, but whose ballots are in danger. These are men who, since they registered, have moved out of the township, or precinct, in which they lived at that time. For all these men there •was just one course to pursue and that was to go to the Auditor not later than Thursday, October 3d, and get their certificate. This had to be done in person. With the certificate of registration they must go on Monday to the registration place in the precinct in which they live and expect to vote. There they must present the registration certificate to the inspector, who will "permit them to register, so that, when election day conies, they can vole there just as if they had lived there all the time.

No effort has been spared on the part of newspapers, political workers or clear-headed citizens, to impress upon the peoplo the necessity of registering. Nothing is more certain than that no one who fails to register, or who moves out of a township or precinct after registering and fails to get a registration certificate cannot vote when election day comes.

In some strange way the notion has arrived in the minds of a few men in the county that they can vote,. registration" or no registration. The foolishness of this mistake will be plain to these men on election day if they do not discover their error before.

Despite the repeated efforts to get all voters in the county to register and to take the proper steps if, after registering, they have moved to another precinct or township, it seems likely that some few Hancock county voters will losetheir votes at the coming election, by reason of this new law. If any voter does lose his vote he will have none but himself to blame.

Carelessness of the most inexcusable kind, or obstinacy of the sort which receives slender sympathy, are the only things that can allow such an accident to happen.

Orchard in Full Bloom. According to a Connersville news item, an old Vandevere pippin orchard near that city is in full bloom now, for the second time this season. Among the buds and the blossoms there is an abundance of ripening fruit of perfect formation.

State of Kansas.

Albert B. Reeves, of Dodge City, Ivan., has been nominated by the Democratic State Convention as a candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court, and with the Republican party and the Progressives contending for supremacy in the state, his chances for election are pretty good.

Mr. Reeves is a Hancock county boy, a son of the late Benjamin F. Reeves, who for many years was a prominent and successful farmer in Brown township, at one time being a member of the State Legislature from Hancock county. The son taught school for several years in this county, and read law with the late James A. New before going to Kansas. Since locating in Dodge City, he has been prominent in his profession and was elected mayor of that city. He also was Receiver of Public Moneys in the United States Land Office under the second administration of President Cleveland.

Mr. Reeves is a brother of Chas. F. Reeves, who for several years was court reporter in this judicial district.

The situation is an unusual one in Hancock county this year, as there are five tickets in the field, and all are working with considerable enthusiasm, for election day is only five weeks in the future and there is one registration day in the meantime, Monday, October 7th.

ELECTION DAT NEAB

Politics Warming Up in Hancock, With Five Tickets in the Field and Election Day in the

Very Near Future.

The campaign is opening up in Hancock county with considerable vim and vigor now and political work is getting warm in every locality.

Workers are going hither and thither in every direction, and representing all parties, arranging for meetings, speaking dates, etc., and keeping track of all who have not yet registered.

Never before, in the history of the county have five tickets been nominated and usually only one or not more than two complete tickets. This year the Democrats and Republicans have nominated complete tickets, the Progressives all but two the Prohibitionists all but one, and the Socialists all but three. The campaign will go merrily on now until the polls close on election day.

BOUNTIFUL NUT CROP

Trees Said to Be Loaded and Frost is Bringing Them Down.

Even the trees are productive this year, following the trail of the oats, corn and hay. It is reported that there is a bumper crop of nuts, especially walnut and hickory nuts. Several, nutting parties went out last Saturday to gather in a winter's supply, and brown stained fingers are in evidence on many of the school boys. The hickory trees are not nearly so plentiful as the walnut trees.

A surprise was planned and successfully carried out for Miss Flora Hill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Hill, fo R.

OVERFLOWING WELL NEMARLOTTESIIIILE

Sends Forth Eight-Inch Stream Twenty-Five Feet High, or 500 Gallons a Minute.

Snow & Pritcliard, gas and water well contractors of this city, completed a huge water well on the William Hill farm, two miles south of Charlottesville on Saturday. The well was drilled 150 feet deep, where limestone was struck and the drill penetrated the limestone to a depth of some ten feet. The flow of water coming from the well at this depth was of such force as to be incalculable. Mr. Pritchard says they used an eight-inch pipe in the well and the water comes rushing through and filling the pipe it shoots to a height of twenty-five feet in the derrick. In an hour after the well was drilled, the lands about the well were inundated and a big ditch was dug to a nearby stream to carry away the surplus water. The water comes with such force that a big stone dropped into the opening is at once thrown from the well. According to Mr. Pritchard, this overflowing well puts out 500 gallons of water per minute.— Knightstown Banner.

Is a Iiog Raiser.

C. E. Parker, formerly of Willow Branch, this county, but now of Madison county, was in Greenfield Tuesday. He is on a 160-acre farm on Rural Route 43 out of Pendleton. He sold a car load of seventyseven head of hogs a few days ago which averaged 271 pounds, bringing him over $1,600. This was the third car of hogs that Mr. Parker had shipped within a year.

It is no wonder farmers can afford nice automobiles when they can produce hogs that sell at the present high prices. Mr. Parker is a hustler.

the Rush

county hamlet and a little town of the same name in Posey county, to have the name of one of the "Griffins" changed, was held before the commission. It was brought out that the Posey county "Griffin" has a population of approximately 300 persons, and has a postoffice, while it was shown that the Rush county hamlet was inhabited by thirteen men and women, six children and nine dogs. During 1911, according to the testimony, forty packages of freight were sent to the wrong address because of the similarity of the names. Two of the "packages" were car loads of sheep. A large family, named Mauzy, lives at Griffin, Rush county, and for that reason the express companies have changed the name on their books to "Mauzy."
