In our opinion, the improvements of the Eli Lilly Company are only the beginning of industrial plants that are bound to locate between Greenfield and Indianapolis. As time passes, all the country surrounding Indianapolis is sure to be occupied by such institutions, and no part of contiguous property to Indianapolis is more desirable than that east of it. So the most desirable will probably be the first to be sought.

Drouth and hard time note in the Smith County (Kansas) Pioneer: Twenty-four foreclosure suits were started against that many farmers in Decatur county in one day last week. And in nearly every case the owners of the land could not be found, having gone elsewhere. It is reported that in many neighborhoods not more than one farm in three is occupied. So many have left that some of the rural route carriers fear their routes will be discontinued for lack of patrons. For miles in Rawlins county, one can travel and see no sign of habitation. People simply closed up their homes and sought some other place where they could make a living.

The Horse Show here this week re-establishes the fact that there are a large number of splendid horses of the heavy draft, general purpose and also the light harness classes kept in Hancock county, notwithstanding the advent of the automobile at a large per cent, of the farms. Even were the financial profits not an item to be considered in keeping good horses, they would still be kept by many farmers, for the pride in and love for fine horses cannot be quenched in many, and they would keep them just for the pleasure of ownership. The Horse Shows are good for a county, as they stimulate the owners of horses to raise the best grades and most marketable kinds.

THE VITAL QUESTION OF PROTECTION

You axe carrying fire insurance? ...... Yes. Life insurance? Of course. Cyclone?

Newspaper Office Wants Mention has been made of .delinquent subscriptions in these columns several times recently. These notices were published because of need of all money past due. If it had not been so, they w?ould not have been published. Newspaper accounts are more difficult to collect than any other for the reason that they are small, and peopleneglect paying them because they forget them. If they were larger amounts, they w-ould impress people more and they would not forget them. The newspaper man suffers just the same, for though the accounts are small, there are so many of them that in the total they worry him. Where accounts are small and scattered over large territory, it is very expensive to collect them. All persons knowing their subscriptions are past due, will confer a special favor on this office by payment immediately.

LADY FREED FROM

Certainly. Have you any emergency fund anywhere? Well—er—not exactly. Then here is our point. No person can foretell the surprises the future may hold. It is a mighty good plan to tuck away a little now and then as yon can conveniently, as sort of an Emergency Insurance against the unexpected occurence. There is a feeling of satisfaction in being prepared against emergency Increase your peace of mind by starting an emergency account with us. You will never regret it.

Tells of Experience at Neal InstituteThanks God for Freedom.

Extract from letter just received: "I inherited the desire for morphine from my mother, who was addicted to the habit, and from my birth it was given me.

I

had taken it 38

years and had reached the point where I was nsing 20 grains daily. 'I had been to three different sanitariums and institutes, who refused to accept me, owing to the large amount of morphine I took and my debilitated condition. I was a complete wreck physically. "I was finally prevailed upon to take the NEAL TREATMENT. I did so with most satisfactory results. I do not know when I went off the morphine. Within a few days all craving and desire for the drug had left me. You can easily realize how gratefui I feel to be out of bondage after being a slave for 38 years. Now, thank God, myself and husband will be habyy together." "Victim of Drink Habit" Says: "I certainly appreciate what you have done for me. If I ever have a chance, will gladly recommend your institution."

SUNDAY SCHOOL PROSPERING

Report of MeCordsville M. E. Sunday School and All Day Meeting, Sunday, Sept. 28th.

Attendance at Sunday school. 116 collection. $47.15. Banne/ class for attendance. 'o. 5, taught by Edward Smith, attendance. 26 Class No. 6 had an attendance of 25. Three classes with largest collections. No. 6. $9.65: No. 5. $3.84, and No. 3. -$3.77. The superintendent turned in §16.50 collected among his friends outside the vicinity of MeCordsville. Five birthday offerings were received.

The "Blues" added nine more to their list, and the "Reds" seven, making a total of sixty for each side. Can you beat it? This close and exciting contest certainly does prove that the talent of the school is as near equally divided as could be, neither side having the advantage over the other. The contest is now about half over, and the two sides tied for honors, and all hands working with might and main, it certainly encouraging.

Our "Home Coming and Jubilee" proved a grand success, every exercise of the day being well attended and enjoyed. The basket dinner w:as simply fine, a hundred people being fed, and enough left to feed a hundred more. The unanimous wish is to make it a permanent annual affair. This was agreed to by all.

It being the close of the month and also the quarter, following is the report of the Sunday school: Total attendance for month, 446 average per Sunday, 112. Total collection for month $63.04 average per Sunday, $17.01. For (he quarter, total attendance, 1,439 average per Sunday, 115 total collection for quarter, $101.01 average per Sunday, $7.77. The average attendance for September, 1912 was 51, and the average collection was $1.32. You can see by this report that we are crowing.

OBITUARY

The

One

nrcle is broken, one seat is forsaken. bird from the tree of our friendship is shaken

|One heart from among us no.longer shall thrill With joy in our gladness or grief in our ills.

As a cloud of the sunset, slow melting in Heaven, As a star that is lost where the daylight is given, As a glad dream of slumber, which wakens in bliss, She has passed to the world of the

Holy from I his.

Dorothy Record, daughter of Charles and Mary Record, was born Feb. 11. 1904. and departed this life September 22, 1913, aged 9 years. 7 months and 11 days.

Nineteen .months of intense suffering were borne with a palienc1 wonderful |o in a child. In spife of all pain, her interest in her loved ones, both relatives- ant friends never for a moment wavered.

On February 10, 1913. her mother who was stricken wilh the same terrible disease (tuberculosis) preceded Dorothy., to the Heavenly home, leaving the child in the care of a loting father and a devoted grandmother.

Dear little girl, in her sweet and tender way. she had made for herself a place among all who knew her: in the Sunday school which she faithfully attended, even when her strength was going fast the school children, too. will miss her sweet smile and cheery wave of greeting.

Hut most of all, her loss will be felt in the home, where the only pleasure the worshipful father, the dear little brother, and the loving grandmother could find, was in relieving the sufferings of Dorothy. .Many, many times, she has told them her life would be short, and in the last days, again and again, she expressed her willingness to go to rest. She asked each and every friend as they came to offer prayers, that she might soon join her mother. Her last words were: "Good-bye, Papa," after which she slept the sweet sleep for which she had prayed.

The pain is bitterly hard to bear, but let us think of Dorothy, free from all suffering and resting in the arms of the Great and All-Wise Heavenly Father.

She leaves to mourn her departure, a father, brother, grandmother Record, Grandfather and Grandmother Decamp, besides a host of other relatives and friends. dw

Wednesday Mr. Snider was in Greenfield and settled a number of business matters pertaining to the estate left by his wife, and he seemed to be very despondent. He said his health was very poor and that he was feeling very badly.

Thursday he started to the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr., and Mrs. Jesse Sparks, near Wilkinson, and met his daughter, who was coming to Greenfield to spend the day. She told him to go on up to her home, and that he would find her husband at the home of a neighbor. He did not hunt up his son-in-law, however, but instead went to the barn and hanged himself.

And how, look at the failures. Mighty few of them have a bank account now. Not speaking of when they were young. Perhaps you thing you have not enough money to start an account. Haven't you a dollar? That's all it takes.

Just try it for a year or six months. If you do not wish to continue it you have lost nothing by the trial. WHICH WILL IT BE—SUCCESS OR FAILURE?
