HON/SKITH McCOBD

Oldest Living Member of Indiana Legislature in State—Event Celebrated By His Many

Relatives and Friends

This 12th day of November, 1912, marks the 93d anniversary of the birth of Hon. Smith McCord, of McCordsville, this county. Mr. McCord is the oldest living ex-member of the Indiana Legislature in the state. He was elected from Hancock county to the Legislature in the campaign of 1874. At that time Thomas A. Hendricks was Governor.

The Legislature of which he was a member elected Joseph E. McDonald to the United States Senate. David Turpie w-as speaker of the Indiana Legislature at that time. All three of those distinguished Democrats with whom Mr. McCord was intimate and associated, and all of whom served in the United States Senate, have passed away.

Mr. McCord's 93d anniversary was celebrated by his relatives with a big dinner and a post-card shower.

DROPSY TREATED FREE

Dr. Franklin Miles, the Great Specialist, Will Send $3.75 Treatment Free—Many Cured

After Doctors Failed

At first no disease is apparently more harmless than dropsy a little swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet, ankles, or abdomen. Finally, there is great shortness of breath, smothering spells, sitting up to breathe, cough, faint spells, sometimes nausea and vomiting, even bursting of the limbs and a lingering and wretched death if the dropsy is not removed.

Dr. Miles has been known as a leading specialist in these diseases for 30 years. His liberal offer is certainly worthy of serious consideration. You may not have another opportunity.

The Grand Dropsy Treatment consists of four dropsy remedies in one, also Tonic Tablets, and PuraLaxa for removing the water. This treatment is specially prepared for each patient and is many times as successful as that of most physicians. It relieves usually the first day, and removes swelling in six days in most cases. Delay is dangerous. Dr. Miles' book contains many wonderful cures.

Send For Remarkable Cures in Your State. All afflicted readers may have the new Dropsy Book, Examination Chart, Opinion, Advice, and a twropound Treatment FREE. Write at once. Describe your case. Address Dr. Franklin Miles, Dept. 855 to 805, Main St., Elkhart, Ind.

Potatoes From Sprouts. B. F. Andrews set out last spring some sprouts off of Irish potatoes. The sprouts were broken off of the potatoes and then set out like sweet potato plants. They grew nicely, hut the yield was not large. One sprout had only one large potato on it. Some of the others had as high as three. The experiment and results are interesting.

Flagged Train With Shirt Tearing his shirt from his back an Ohio man flagged a train and saved it from a wreck, but H. T. Alston, Raliegh, N. C., once prevented a wreck with Electric Bitterrs. "I was in a terrible plight when began to use them," he writes, "my stomach, head, back and kidneys were all badly affected and my liver was in bad condition, but four bottles of Electric Bitters made me feel like a new man." A trial will convince you of their merit for any stomach, liver or kidney trouble. Price 50 cents at M. C. Quigley's.

Part of the duties of the county treasurer is to pay out money as well as receive. So wrhile he was receiving he also was paying out considerable money for the expenses of the county, as the following figures show: October 30th $2,532.97 October 31st 1,222.61 November 1st 1,687.58 November 2d 1,184.32 November 4th 1,891.97

IN MEMORIAM.

Mary Adeline Winslow w7as born in Guilford county, North Carolina, June 6, 1844, where she lived with her parents, Ezra and Martha Winslow, until at the age of six years, wrhen she was bereft of her father. She then accompanied her mother, brothers and sisters to Indiana. Her mother died ten years after coming to Indiana. After the death of her mother, she lived with some friends and taught one term of school at what is known as Woodbine school house, in 1862. On December 31, 1866 she was united in marriage to Benjamin Franklin Moffit. To this union were born four children—two daughters and two sons: Annie O. Huddleson and Henry, the youngest son, preceded her in death. One son, Welker, and one daughter, Alta Ward two grandchildren and one great grandchild still survive.

Six years ago Mrs. Moflltt was left a widow7, and many cares and responsibilities, to which she was unaccustomed, devolved upon her. Her health began to fail, and with each year she failed more rapidly. Although with great courage she met her responsibilities, and did not let failing health discourage her, but took an active interest in and control of her business affairs a few days before her death.

After her marriage Mrs. Moffitt lived at Knightstown until 1877, when w'ith her husband moved to a farm in Center township, this county, about three and one-half miles northeast of Greenfield. The deceased realized for some time that she could not live long, and was anxious to return to the farm wrhere the greater portion of her married life was spent, and a few weeks ago, when her daughter was married, her wish to return to the farm was gratified.

She passed peacefully away, almost like passing into a pleasant sleep, on the evening of November 6, 1912, at the age of 68 years and 5 months.

The deceased was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church from her girlhood, having joined the church at Willow Branch, this county in 1861, during the pastorate of Rev. Michael Black.

She was a good neighbor and was devoted to her family. She was ready for the great change, expressing no regrets when she realized that the end was near. In addition to her immediate family she leaves twro brothers, Henry Winslow, of this city, and Davis Winslow, of Jasper county, this state. Also a number of nephews and nieces. d-w

Rut Saved the Wear ami Tear Oti His Carriage and He Doesn't Mind the Walking a Rit.

Some of the farmer friends of Marshall Winslow, who is leaving the newspaper sanctum for the farm, tell the following story about him: A few days ago he wanted to come to town. He harnessed his horse took hold of the lines and drove to town without thinking of hooking up to his buggy, walking all the way. He is so accustomed to walking, they say in his search for new'S and in running down different rumors, that he overlooked his buggy until he reached Greenfield.

Winslow also has a story of blistered hands, sore muscles and an insatiate appetite, which were uncommon incidents to city life.
