Chautauqua
The grounds at the old Fair Ground have been put in order for the Greenfield Chautauqua, which begins next Sunday, August 10th.
The program includes a combination of diversified talent which is sure to please the audiences, no matter what kind of entertainment the people desire. The program includes some of the best musical talent in the whole country, as well as some of the most popular platform lecturers.
It is only by a combination and a •series of engagements that such talent and ability can be supplied to a community at such a nominal cost. It is a series of diversified entertainments worth many times the price. In fact, if taken separately several of them would each cost the price of the season tickets.
For real value offered, few county seat programs excel.
Dr. M. S. Huntington, veterinary surgeon of New Palestine, was in Greenfield Thursday calling on his friend, Dr. Noble Elsbury. Dr. Huntington is deeply interested in JJhe subject of hog cholera, and has giveil the matter much study and investigation. He is a strong advocate of vaccination, and has been remarkably successful in his use of that method of treating tlie disease.
He is impressed with the immense loss of money by farmers from hog cholera, and is anxious that farmers be thoroughly informed in regard to the use of serums, and that they obtain the results that will eliminate the "great loss they sustain from the disease.
AGED CITIZEN PASSES AWAY
Bowan W. Rains Succumbs to Injuries and Old Age -r- Was 88 Years of Age.
Rowan W. Rains, age 88 years, died at 4 o'clock Wednesday evening at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Riley Arbuckle, at 115 Center street. Mr. Rains' death was due to ailments peculiar to old age, and it was probably hastened as the result of a fall he received in March, 1912, when he suffered a broken collar bone and dislocated shoulder. He never fully recovered from these injuries.
The funeral of Mr. Rains will be held at the Christian church at 2:30 Friday, and the interment will be at Park Cemetery.
Rowan W. Rains was born in Scott county, Kentucky. October 22, 1825. He was married there to Mary E. Chisham, November 19, 1846. They moved to Greenfield on November 19, 1855, and lived here until 1864, going then to Woodford county, Illinois, and came back in 1869, and lived here until 1884. Mrs. Rains died February 22, 1890.
Mr. Rains spent about twenty years at Huntington, with his daughter, Mrs. Rosa Keller, but had been making his home here for about sixteen months. He was a member of the Christian church, and had been a member of the Masonic order for about fifty years. He is the father of eight children, three of whom survive. They are Sanford M. Rains, Rosa E. Keller and Emma E. Arbuckle.

HUNTINGTON COUNTY FARM LAND GROWS IN VALUE
Daniel G. McClarnon, of Jackson township, returned recently from Huntington county, Indiana, where he went on business connected with a farm he owns in that county. He reports crops looking fine. Mr. McClarnon changed tenants on the farm this year, the first time in the eleven years that he had had a new tenant.
Mr. McClarnon purchased the farm twenty-nine years ago for $5,600. He says the land and that section of the state has improved and advanced just as things have advanced in this section. He says the farm has paid for all its running expenses and improvements during the time he has owned it, and he could now sell it for $16,000. It is easy to see that it has been a good investment for Mr. McClarnon. Such investments are not only good from the standpoint of profit, but they are the safest and most secure kind.
Interested in Rees and Honey. Thomas M. Rash, of Route 5 out of Greenfield, is one of the most successful raisers of bees in Hancock county. He has engaged in the business for many years, and has on hand now a great many stands. His working hives have produced a large amount of the finest quality of honey. The name he has given to his bee industry is "Peach Tree Apiary." He says this is the season of the year when ev erybody is gathering nature's har vest, and among all the many most excellent gifts of nature, there is none which are finer than that of pure honey. It is one of nature's triumphs in the way of edibles. Smooth and velvety, most delicately flavored, makes it a food fit for the most fastidious.
Mr. Rash is up-to-date in every respect in his care and culture of bees. He takes every precaution to protect his bees and their honey.

the honey perfectly clean and pure. The honey is packed in crates. It. is the careful methods of Mr. Rash in caring for his bees and their product which has made him the reputation he has for producing honey, and enables him to guarantee every box or package to be absolutely pure.

Thought to Have Been in Indianapolis and Greenfield, Attempting to Work Swindle.
Arthur Johnson, a colored man, is under arrest at Elizabethtown, Kentucky, on a criminal charge of attempting to get money under a false pretense. It is thought that he is the same man who was in Greenfield Saturday, July 16th, and under the name of "King Stevenson," submitted a check for deposit at the Capital State Bank on the Bank of Slaughter, Louisiana, in the sum of $500. When he made the deposit he represented that he was a cook at the New Greenfield
Hotel and that he would want a little money from time to time. The bank accepted the check and gave him a duplicate slip, showing that he had presented a check for deposit in the sum of $500. The bank, however, did not have any confidence in the transaction, and sent the check at once by mail direct to the bank at Slaughter.
It. appears that the man did not have a job of any kind at the hotel, but was stopping with Mrs. Hattie Merida, of North Broadway, where he represented that he had access to considerable money. He stayed in Greenfield three or four days, and borrowed $3.85 of Mrs. Merida, in addition to not paying his board. Mrs. Merida was reluctant to loan him money out of the earnings she makes from keeping boarders, but he insisted it was for express
charges on^ a trunk. She knew 1 winkle

Gentlemen:—We are just in re-
ceipt of a letter from the Union Bank & Trust Company, of Elizabethtown, Ky., saying that they had under arrest there, Albert Johnson, who had drawn a check on us, etc., there. This is the same negro who, under the name of King Stevenson, deposited a check on us with you a few weeks ago. "If he succeeded in beating anyone in your town or vicinity, or did any crooked work of any kind, please notify the above bank or the authorities there, that they may make an additional charge, as we are anxious to see him placed behind the bars, or somewhere where he will quit annoying us with his numerous drafts. "Very truly yours, "A. A. WREN, Cashier."
Reception
The reception given by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. R. Smith on the afternoon of July 27th, at their home in Jackson township in honor of their son, Aldus and his bride, was one of those affairs the memory of which remains long with those who participate.
about the $500 check, but still she Thelma and Beulah, of Irwas skeptical, and the stranger jng|on.
went to the bank and secured a letter from the bank that they would pay the $3.85 when the check he had deposited had been cashed. She never saw him after he received the money, and when she inquired if any trunk had been received for "King Stevenson," she was informed that no such trunk had been there.
King Stevenson, as described by Greenfield people, seemed to be about 25 to 30 years old, weighed about 145 pounds, tall, slender and stooped shoulders brown skin, wore blue suit, shirt with delicate dark stripe, and low tan shoes. Greenfield people think he is the same man who attempted to work the mining stock scheme on well-to-do colored business men at Indianapolis just prior to his appearance in Greenfield.
While in Indianapolis he spent considerable money and went to the Cole Automobile factory and secured prices on three automobiles, and was driven over the city of Indianapolis in different Cole cars as a prospective buyer. The Indianapolis Ledger, a weekly paper, published a lengthy article about him and his schemes. It is thought that when he failed at Indianapolis, he came to Greenfield.
Below are letters received by the Capital State Bank from the bank at Slaughter, Louisiana: "Bank of Slaughter" "Slaughter, La., July 18, 1913. "Capital State Bank, Greenfield. "Gentlemen: We beg to return herewith draft of 'King Stevenson' on us for the reason we have no such account on our books. This appears to be the work of a dangerous negro crook, an ex-convict, that the writer helped, to send to the pen in 1906 for similar work. "This negro went by the name of Arthur Thompson and recently has been drawing on us under the name of George Williams, George Thompson, etc. He has drawn from Tennessee, Kentucky, Nebraska, this state and numerous other places. Invariably the sum has been $500, which he deposits for collection, and then works some saloon or a small dealer for about $10 or $15 on the strength of the bank's receipt. Fortunately we have never lost anything, but have been annoyed considerably. "Very truly yours, "A. A. WREN, Cashier." "Bank of Slaughter" "Slaughter, La., July 30, 1913.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith are royal entertainers and each one of the sixty guests received such a cordial welcome that they entered at once into the spirit of the occasion, and a splendid good time was had by all.
The newly wedded couple were made to feel that they had a host of friends and relatives who are very much interested in their future happiness and success in life, and many useful and valuable gifts were presented to them as tokens of this interest. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served.

Will Teach Fire Prevention Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, is lending a hand in the effort to reduce the fire loss in Indiana. The teachers' manual, which the department of public instruction is just sending to press, contains practical suggestions' as to how the teachers may spread the gospel of fire protection in the schools.
In this effort, Mr. Greathouse is being assisted by the state fire marshal, who has caused to be prepared several model lessons in fire prevention. The subject is included under the heading of civics for fifth grade pupils. How to handle matches, the disposal of ashes, the danger from gasoline and similar matters are presented. It is the belief that by starting with the children, a general influence will be created which will open the eyes of the people to the tremendous loss which is suffered in property and lives each year, because of carelessness.
