It is to be hoped that the present inactivity in business is the result of the adjustment of business to the new tariff law conditions, and that all lines of business will soon assume normal conditions. No business man wants to see the business of the United States greatly disturbed.

Lew Shank is no longer Mayor of Indianapolis. He has resigned and is out. He should never have been elected mayor. The position is too important for a man of his temperament. There is no place for vaudeville stunts in the mayor's office. The business of the position is too serious for a joker, and Mr. Shank, when he was brought face to face with grave business conditions, retires rather than endure the .criticism and censure of the public.

The local charity association will not be able to relieve the suffering of the poor this winter as it has heretofore, unless the well-to-do people of Greenfield respond more liberally than they have up to this time. The women connected with the charity organization deserve the loyal support of the people. It seems that thrifty people should not hesitate to make contributions of clothing, food and money when there are women in our city who are willing to give their time gratuitously to the work of looking after and caring for the sick and needy in a systematic, intelligent, equitable and economic manner.

The speed craze of automobile drivers has resulted in the death of 77 persons in the city of New York in the eleven months of 1912. In the month of November, just ended, 38 persons were killed, including 15 children, in that city alone, by. reckless automobile drivers. In the same month 115 persons were injured from the same source. The terrible human slaughter has caused officials to make a crusade against auto speeding. Nearly 500 automobile drivers appeared iji court in that city Monday charged with speeding. The fines ranging from $5 to $25, amounted to $2,500. Persons who refused to pay fines, were promptly sent to jail. Among those who were sent to jail was a relative of Theodore Roosevelt.

Congressman Finly Gray does not owe his Sixth district constituents any apology because he sees fit to take a meal or all his meals for that matter, at a cheap restaurant. Most of his constituents, if they were in Washington would probably eat at 25-cent restaurants, and they can not see how being elected to Congress makes him very much better than they are. If Congressmen practiced more economy in Washington, and not so much extravagance and snobbery, they would accomplish more for the people. There are a great many things done by Congressmen in Washington which are worse than boarding at cheap restaurants.

There are too many people who criticise banks. They assume a constant attitude of hostility to banks as institutions. Nothing could be more unjust. Banks are absolutely necessary, and the immense business of modern times could not be transacted without them. They give great security to the large volume of business done through them. It is necessary that they do business on a basis that is profitable to them, else they would not be safe depositories for the people's money. Banks depend, however, for profit on the use of the people's money on deposit which if not deposited in banks, would be placed in insecure and hazardous places, and would be absolutely idle and unproductive. Banks are most essential elements in modern business, and they are great benefactors of individuals, no matter whether they want to deposit or to borrow money, and the person who assails them as institutions is very short-sighted.

The farmers of Hancock county are especially fortunate in getting the Purdue Short Course this winter. Only a few counties are so well favored. In Purdue University Indiana has an institution devoted exclusively to the line of education that is strictly practicable. It not only instructs students in the mechanical-vocations and trades so important in this day and age, but it devotes much money and the time of specially educated men on the department of agriculture and stock raising. The information gathered by the agricultural department of Purdue University, is accurate and thoroughly reliable. It is gained under conditions which are observed with great exactness. It is with this information that the Purdue instructors in agriculture come to the farmers of Hancock county. It is brought practically to the homes of the farmers at the minimum cost. It is a rare opportunity. Farmers, farmers' sons, and all people engaged in agriculture and stock-raising, can not afford to miss it. It will aid them in raising better stock and more profitable crops to the acre.

Young Man, Who Shot and Killed Uncle, Now in Shelby Jail.

OBITUARY

Once again the angel of death has visited our midst and has stricken from the roll of the living one of our noblest and most distinguished citizens, and in this loss it can hardly be said that "death is no respecter of persons," but it seems that the angel of death is selfish in its choice and seeks to take from us the best, and when Levi D. Olvey was called to the great beyond, the community in which he resided, the county and the state, has lost a citizen esteemed and respected and honored by all who knew him, either personally or by reputation.

Although Levi D. Olvey was past his three score years of age, yet he was ever young at heart, active in mind and spry in body. On August 20, 1840, he was born, and the life that he lived, the habits that he had formed are now examples for the younger generation to follow and pattern after, and noble traits of character, the best endowments of true citizenship, remained constantly with him until he was called away, on the 22d day of November, 1913.

His death comes as a shock enjoying the best of health, surrounded witt} the enjoyments and comforts Of life, living in a home that was made beautiful by his unrelenting toil, in a moment's notice he was taken away, never more to enjoy the association and beloved companionship of his devoted wife and his lovable daughter.

Mr. Olvey was of a family of ten children, all of whom have passed through the valley of the shadow of death except one, and the only one that remains to tell the story of the life of these ten children is a sister, Lavina Gant, who now lives in the far West. His father was Enoch Olvey and his mother, Martha, and during all of his life he resided in the county in which he died.

Mr. Olvey was born on a farm, and grew to manhood there until he had reached the age of his majority, at which time he enlisted in the Civil War, and there fought for his country for two years. At the end of that time he returned to his old home and by honest endeavor and constant toil, and with untiring energy, he amassed a great amount of this world's goods.

In all of his business life he was painstaking and careful, and his management of personal affairs was never questioned, and after he had reached his mature years, he was looked upon as an adviser in the community, and he was not only consulted concerning financial matters, but was looked upon as one whose advice should be heeded in the settling of disputes among his neighbors and friends.

In 1872, in the month of November, he was married to Elizabeth Caldwell. She was the youngest daughter of William and Sarah Caldwell, of this county. This union has been a most happy one, and to them was born one child, Fanny Lee Olvey, who is now the wife of George Andis.

To this wife the deceased has been very devoted and always kind to this daughter he has always been a loving father these two were constantly on his mind, and his life was spent in aiding arid assisting them in all of their undertakings.

Mr. Olvey was not only an honest man not only a business man not only a man of financial influence, but he was a religious gentleman, and his strong personality, associated with his religious faith, made him a power in the Friends church of which he became a member thirty-one years ago.

So much did he love and appreciate the value of the religious faith of this church, that he gave to it the ground upon which the church stands and where the cemetery is located, off of one of his farms, and in this cemetery, where rests his friends, and the friends of many, he will remain at re#t until the call comes that the resurrection morn is here.

He has almost personally kept up the church and this cemetery, and was proud of the fact that it had become, under his watchful eye and constant care, one of the most beautiful in the entire country.

Mr. Olvey possessed no nature of selfishness. He loved to succeed,

GREENFIELD REPUBlilCAN, THURSDAY, .DECEMBER 4, 1913

and just that well did he love to see others succeed. He was always the first to smile when" one was succeeding in life, and with tender heart and sorrowful soul, he was the first to shed a tear at a friend's downfall, but in his loss we can console his family and friends by pointing them to the life, which he has lived and picturing to them that by that life and his constant devotion that he is called to a great reward where there is no strife and no sorrow, but'all is happiness and constant bliss.

It con be truthfully said of him as was said by the Great Apostle, "I have fought a good fight I have finished my course I have kept the faith." (Advertisement)

OBITUARY

Lydia Alice Beeson, daughter of Isaac N. and Phoebe A. Beeson, was born at Carmel, Hamilton county, Ind., June 5, 1861, and died at her home near Western Grove, Hancock county, Indiana, November 16, 1913, aged 52 years, 5 months arid 11 days. She was left without the care of a mother at the age of 7, and went to live with her grandparents and uncle, Manuel Harold, until she was near the age of 16, when she began the battles of life for herself, living in different homes in Morgan and Hancock counties until she was about the age of 24, when she was united in marriage to Riley A. Catt, October 22, 1886. To this union were born five children, two of whom preceded her in their infancy, leaving a husband, three children, Lula S. Gardner, Lawrence E. Catt, and Elizabeth E. Bentley two sons-in-law, two grandchildren, three sisters, one brother, with a host of other relatives, and friends to mourn her death.

Alice was a birthright member of the Friends church, and while she was not as demonstrative in church work as some, she was a real home maker in its truest sense, ever looking after the interest and comfort of those around her.

She was especially anxious for her boy, Lawrence, while away from home, and told her sister that she often bore him to her Heavenly Father on the wings of prayer, that he might be kept from the evils of the world.

She was very mindful of Grandmother Catt, refusing to leave her unless she was cared for by others, to go and enjoy some of the pleasures of social visiting and church gatherings. She was a kind and obliging neighbor, one that will be missed in her home and neighborhood, but we bow our heads and hearts to Him who knows best, in her departure. dw (Advertisement)

MILDRED ARNOLD FRY

Daughter of John and Sally Fry, was born October 10, 1858, near Maxwell, Hancock county, Indiana. She departed this life October 8, 1913, aged 54 years, 11 months and 28 days. She leaves two brothers, John L. and James W. Fry, and two sisters, Mrs. Stephen D. Jackson, and Mrs. Sarah C. Rhue. She had made her home with Mrs. Rhue for more than thirty years. She was an agreeable companion, taking an active interest in anything pertaining to the welfare of the household. Although she had been in poor health for several years, yet she was ever patient and was never heard to murrhur.

Mildred had supreme confidence in the Heavenly Father, having, at various times, expressed a desire that she would soon be called home. Like her parents, she was a firm believer in the Baptist faith. Her loss will be keenly felt by numerous relatives and many friends. "So live, that when thy sumriions comes to join

The innumerable caravan, which moves to that mysterious realm, Where each shall take his chamber in the silentv halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust approach thy grave like one Who wraps the draper? of his couch about him, And lies down to pleasant dreams."

The funeral was conducted by Elder R. W. Thompson. dw A FRIEND.
