LUM TREE WILL 8E SHAKEN TWICE

SOME FRUIT WILL FALL MONDAY AT HANDS OF COMMISSIONERS BEST PLUM

FIRST OF THE YEAR

The county plum tree is to be shaken twice. It will be given the first shake next Monday, December 1st, when several of the plums will fall into the waiting hands, but not all the plums will fall, and all the outstretched hands will not be filled. The second shaking will be given the tree the first of the new year, and then it is that the biggest plum of all will fall into some outstretched palm.

On next Monday, December 1st, the county commissioners will announce their appointments for janitor of the court house, fireman at the heating plant, county attorney and county physician. They have plenty of material to choose from, it is said. There are- fourteen applicants for the place as janitor of the court house, which seems to be a desirable job. For fireman at the heating plant there are some half a dozen applicants. The former job pays $50 a month salary, and the latter $52 a month. There are three applicants for the position of •county attorney which pays $500 a year. So far there is only one applicant for the place of county physician.

At the January meeting the commissioners will again shake the plum tree, and at this shaking the largest of the plums will fall. It is a- new variety, just recently developed and several are anxious to sample it. This is the County Road Superintendence a new appointive office made by the last Legislature. This place pays $4.00 a day for time actually put in at the work, and in this county, where there are 300 miles of gravel roads, it will probably keep the superintendent busy. There are sfeveral applicants for this post.

Also at the January meeting, the secretary of the county board of health is appointed, and there are three or four physicians who would accept this place, and in fact have made application for it.

Another appointment that carries with it a salary of $1,000, is the position of superintendent of the county poor farm. This appointment, too, will be made at the January meeting of the commissioners.

CREAM CAME DOWN OVER AT CLEVELAND

An Entire Wagon Load Upset On Interurban Track and Was Hit By Regular Freight Car

They are not complaining about the scarcity and high price of cream over at Cleveland since Monday evening when it came down wonderfully and has kept going downward as far as is known.

An entire wagon load went down as the result of the horses of Paul Williams and Ora Pauley, hitched to the cream route wagon, getting loose. They were tied in front of Walter Pauley's place and broke loose. They started east, but had* turned around onto the T. H. I. & E. track and started west when the wagon upset and there was a great spilling of good rich cream. A freight car was coming from the east and it was flagged, but ran into the upset wagon of cream cans, demolishing them. Mr. Williams and Mr. Pauley managed to get the team out of the way and neither horse was injured in the least.

SEEK EXPLANATION TO CHOLERA SPREAD

Farmers Say it is Carried By Various Means Its Prevalence Makes Them Cautious.

The prevalence of hog cholera, and the rapidity with which the disease spreads, is causing many farmers to be more caucus. They seek to discover the means by which the disease is carried. It is pretty generally understood that cholera is often carried from one farm to another by streams passing through the farms. Another way by which the disease is spread from one farm to another is by dogs. Some farmers think crows carry the disease, and one farmer in Hancock county says that his hogs were healthy and that there was not a case of cholera in his neighborhood, when all at once it broke out among his hogs. The only way by which he could account for the development of the disease was that several days before it made its appearance, his hired hand had visited a farm in another neighborhood, and was out among the hogs where cholera was prevalent.

The great financial loss entailed by cholera prompts hog raisers to use every precaution to prevent the spread of the disease.

KILLING OF STOCK

CARELESSNESS OF HUNTERS IS AROUSING ALL THE FARMERS, WHO WILL PROSE

CUTE LAW VIOLATORS

Complaints are heard constantly about hunters. Many farmers report stock injured and killed by hunters. Ed Gant, of this city, has had two sheep killed this fall by hunters on his farm, near Mohawk, and Charles W. McKenzie, of Route 10, northwest of this city, lost a fine sow worth $40 a few days ago from a gunshot wound. His cattle have also been damaged. He lost a large registered Big Type Poland China sow worth $50 more than a year ago as a result of hunters and their dogs. He says his loss from hunters for the past two years is more than $200.

Farmers are becoming thoroughly aroused on account of the damages which they sustain, to say nothing about the imposition they feel of men trespassing on their farms contrary to law, and killing game that they, themselves, are entitled to. The carelessness of huntters will eventually result in the farmers throughout the county effecting organizations which will bar hunting altogether.' Most of the farmers are in a spirit from loss sustained to prosecute all trespassers to the full extent- of the law. They declare they are not going to be mealy-mouthed about who they prosecute, either.

Word was received by relatives in this city, of the daeth of John Abbott at Brookville, Monday. He was the father of M. C. Abbott, of this city, general manager of the Bryan Plow Company. The son was at the bedside when the parent passed away.

Death of a Young Lady. Miss Grace Brandenburg, age 20 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brandenburg, died Wednesday morning at their home, 413 North East street. She had been ill for some time. Miss Brandenburg was a well known and popular young lady.

NEARLY FIFTY YEARS SPENT IN THE 1ST

James Kineaid, Who Went to Nebraska 47 Years Ago, Returns To Visit Boyhood Home.

James Kineaid, of Nebraska, near Omaha, was in Greenfield Friday. He called upon Mrs. Sarah J. Huston and Mrs. Cynthia Jane Melton.

Mr. Kineaid formerly lived at Menden, near the Hancock and Madison coun line. He went to Nebraska 47 years ago, and has done well there. He is now well advanced in years and is probably making his last visit to the home of his boyhood. He knew Mrs. Huston and Mrs. Melton years ago, and so called on them Friday.

While here he said that he used to often pass through Greenfield when a boy in his teens, and carried the mail from Pendleton to Shelbyville, through Greenfield. There were not many bridges over the streams then, and he said often crossing Blue River, he was obliged to place the mail sack over his shoulder and stand with his knees on the saddle to keep out of the water.

When asked whether he would advise people to go west, he admitted that there were good opportunities in the West, but that when he looked around in Indiana, he saw many advantageous and desirable things which the people of the West did not have. He was accompanied to Greenfield by his nephew, Charles Kuntz, of Madison county.

Misses Catherine and Helen Archey, of Indianapolis, were guests of their uncle, Walter Holden, and family over Sunday.

Sheriff ^lack Warrum was at Anderson Monday to get a man wanted here for wife desertion.
