ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST HISTORIC LANDMARKS GIVES WAY TO MODERN BUILD-

ING—REMEMBERED BY OLDER RESIDENTS

LEWS RULE TELLS THE STORY

Aged and Well Known Resident Gives Date of Building of Mill, in Which He Took Active Part— fWord Picture of the Manner of

Work and Construction Done in Days Long Gone.

Day by day the- old landmarks are passing away. Greenfield has "Rileys" and("Wileys" as well, but one of the oldest and mostinteresting and historic places in Hancock county has changed greatly. It is the Wiley Sawmill,' southeast of the city, the machinery of which was recently sold and removed. For

years this mill was known as one of the oldest industries in the county. Though the mill had not done much for several years, there was .a' period of many years when it was a busy place. Wiley's Sawmill, or Corner, is known throughout the county, and it will probably continue to be so designated for years, even though almost every vestige of the. old mill is now gone. When ..the mill was first established, an

old, upright saw was used. That ... was in 1853, when there were no circular saws in use. One of the best known residents of the county, .. Lewis G. Rule, speaks of the removal of the mill, which has stood the test for so many years, and which has been furnished with more modern machinery, as the years go by, but the old residents' .of the county for the past half century who are living, appreciate the old building. -Mr. Rule is past 80 years of age, and he can give a most interesting description of the old mill which has been moved away. The interesting old gentleman, in his own words, speaks of the incident relative to the removal of the mill as follows: i, "The old Wiley sawmill has been sold and moved away. It was first built by Moses and Amos Walton, who owned a machine shop in Macborrough, Ohio. It was built in 1853 for T. Iienricks. who owned quite a large body of land with a a large tract of as good timber that -grows, including walnut, poplar, oak and many other kinds. After

Henricks run it quite a while it fell into the hands of John Collins and was later burned down, but was soon rebuilt and sold to John Wiley, who put a circular saw in the mill, the former one being straight or up and down. The saw was called the muley mill and was the fastest cutting mill of its day it could cut one-fourth of an inch at a stroke. Mill men will laugh at that these days. "There was an old log church standing north of the mill, where both old and young assembled for church and Sunday school. These were primitive and there was not so

many

things to draw the young

people away as in these days. I am past 80, and I was one of the hands that helped build the Walton mill."

Rev. and Mrs. M. S. Decker and son, Paul Leighton, arrived Saturday afternoon from Shreve, Ohio, and took rooms at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vint A. Smith on East Main street until their house on Grant street is ready for them.

W. R. Fox, 195 W. Washington St., Noblesville, Ind., says: "After vj suffering many months with kidney trouble, after trying other remedies and prescriptions, I purchased a box of Foley Kidney Pills

no^

only did me more good

than any other remedies I ever vy,' used, but have positively set my kidneys right. Other members of my family have used them with similar results." Take at the first sign of kidney trouble. M. C. Quig-

Milroy High School Ruilding. The township high school building at Milroy, Rush county was destroyed by fire Friday. Its destruction puts the township in bad financial condition. The building cost $40,000, but the township, owed $19,000 on it, and had only $20,000 insurance. The township, after having paid $21,000 on a fine new school building within the past few years, will bo compelled now to undertake the erection and payment for another building, with only $1,000 residue from the insurance.

Much Butchering Now. There is much butchering going on throughout the county now, and some of the resj^ents of Blue River township report that they are very busy, owing to the killing of hogs. Many of the animals have died as a result of cholera.

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.
