FERTILIZER COMING INTO GENERAL USE

Farmers of Hancock County Using Large Amounts on the Wheat Ground This Season.

Commercial fertilizer is coming into more general use in Hancock county with each season. It has been tested out by many and the test proved satisfactory in almost, every case. This fall more farmers will use fertilizer on their wheat ground than ever before, according to report. There are several dealers in fertilizer in the county and in several communities the farmers form a company and purchase it by the car load, saving some on the price in this way.

Horace Wickard and J. E. Sample have had shipped in and disposed of eight car loads so far this season, and each car contains fifteen tons. Mr. Wickard handles the Globe brand, and today received his seventh car load. Mr. Sample handles the Sunrise fertilizer, and has it shipped at different points where the sales are tnade. The handling of fertilizer in Hancock county is destined to become a big and thriving business in the near future, it seems, as its use is becoming more widespread every year.

SHERIFF WARRUM SEVERELY HURT

Line Broke While He Was Working Horse on Track, and Collision Resulted—Had Hard Fall.

County Sheriff Mack Warrum was severely hurt Tuesday morning at the old fair ground race track, but it is thought his injuries will not prove serious.

Mr. Warrum and Dr. C. P. Wilson were working their horses on the track and when they were at the three-quarters post, one of Mr. Warrum's lines broke. He called to Mr. Wilson who was in the lead and Wilson started to drive out ahead of him, when Warrum's horse ran into him. The collision, which resulted, threw Mr. Warrum about six feet in the air, -and he struck on his hips with great force. It was thought he was seriously hurt internally, and Jacob Loy's automobile was secured to take him to his home at the jail, where Dr. Oscar Heller waited on him.

His injuries do not seem to be of a serious nature, although he was pretty badly shaken up and suffered considerable pain.

Mr. Wilson and both horses escaped injury, but one wheel on Mr. Wilson's sulkey was demolished.

WAYNE MURDER FARM SOLD FOR ONE-THIRD

Prejudice Shown Against Property Where Woman W'as Killed— Brought $29 Per Acre.

Richmond, Ind., Sept. 8.—That a farm which has been the scene of a brutal murder is not regarded as desirable property, was indicated today when the farm owned by Seth Lucas, wife murderer, now in the hospital for the criminal insane at Michigan City, was sold by the guardian of Lucas at public auction. Though situated in a part of Wayne county where farm land generally brings from $75 to $100 an acre, the Lucas farm of 110 acres,•* brought only $29 an acre.

The prejudice against the socalled "murder farm" was indicated by the lack of spirit in the bidding, though there were many farmers on hand to witness the sale. Lucas killed his wife and burned the house to hide traces of his crime, finally confessing several weeks ago. A commission held him to be insane.

Harvest is Now Over.

Harvest is over. For several months, while crops were being put in, tended and harvested, the subscription business of this paper has been exceedingly dull, but all that time the paper has been dropping in at the homes of subscribers with its usual regularity. "The seedtime and harvest" have passed, and nothing would be more acceptable to this paper than for all those who have not paid their paper bills for the past 12 months to call at, once and pay. The amount is small and many have not intended to neglect it, but have overlooked it from the very fact that the amount is so small. They do not forget their large accounts that is the more embarrassing feature of the matter to the newspaper man. The separate accounts are so small that, he can not afford to go out to col lect tfiem, but when one considers that more than 2,000 subscribers owe small amounts it is easily seen that the aggregate is large enough to affect the business and credit of the newspaper man who holds the empty bag. It is to be hoped that at this particular season delinquent subscribers will remember the lank pocket-book of the editor, and make a special trip, if necessary, to square up their subscription account. No matter how fast they come, or how many come, arrangements are made to take care of them.

V-A

The W. G. W. C. met last Wednesday, September 3, at the home of Mrs. Jonathan Jessup, the meeting being opened by singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee," followed by Bible reading by the hostess. The day's motto was given, "Keep Your face always toward the sunshine, and the shadows will always fall behind you." Seventeen members responded to roll call. Miss Eva Pusey read a magazine article on the "Story of Karl Witte." Mrs. J. L. Binford read another magazine article on "Miranda on Keeping Young." Mrs. Arthur White gave a soliloquy, "Wakin' the Youngens." The hostess served dainty refreshments.

Mrs. Eva Geiger and daughter, Wilma, of Memphis, Tenn., who haye been visiting here, have returned to their home. Mrs. Geiger's husband having died some time ago she will make her home with her father, Ed Willett, at Dallas, Tex. Mrs. Geiger was formerly Miss Eva Willett, of this city.

ADDS TO HIS TIEGORD

Has Performed the Marriage Ceremony For 197 Couples—Three More and Then

Squire Joseph Garrett is maintaining and adding to his record as "the marrying squire."

Monday, Mr. Garrett united in marriage, Jesse W. Gooden, of Madison county, and Maud M. Riley, of Fortville. This made a total of 197 marriages solemnized by Mr. Garrett, and he says he is a candidate for at least three more marriages, which will round out 200, and then he says he will be willing to rest on this record if the marrying populace sees tit to shelve him.

Squire Garrett has been a justice of the peace in this county for two score years and his marriage ceremonies seem to be very popular with the people, as he has married two generations of the same family, and in some instances has married the same person twice or thrice.
