OBITUARY

Martha, only child of Roy and Mollie Burch, was born at Indianapolis November 11, 1904, and died of diphtheria at Muncie Sunday, November 2. 1913, lacking but nine days of being 9 years of age. Her death so untimely, and under such distressing circumstances, makes the grief very great for her fond parents. They are greatly comforted that she evinced her interest in Heavenly things, and is at rest.

The body was brought to Greenfield at 1:17 o'clock Monday, in charge of C. F. Pasco. The burial was at Park cemetery. Rev. Hudelston, of Philadelphia, performed the funeral rites at the cemetery.

We have buried our little darling, Away from mortal sight And her beautiful glorified spirit

Now revels in Heavenly light. She'll knowT not another day's illness,"

Her sufferings are o'er, And with beckoning hands she is I waiting

To greet us on Heaven's bright' ^am^y

shore. (Advertisement)

GREAT NUMBER OF BRIDGES HAVE BEEN BUILT AND REPAIRED IN HANCOCK COUN

TY DURING THE YEAR

Following the flood last spring, it looked almost like a hopeless task to have all the bridges replaced and repaired again before Christmas, but it has or will be brought to pass, as only a little remains to be done on a few bridges out of the two dozen, built hew or rebuilt, and the more than seventy painted and repaired.

This bridge work was scattered all .over the county and represents a great outlay, of money and an irqmen^e amount of work.

The bridges built newT, or rebuilt are the Westland and Binford bridges in Blue River township Rigor, Copeland, Willow Branch, Staley and Simmons bridges in Brown township the Curry, Haney and Biimdy bridges in Jackson township the Pope bridge in Brandywine township the Collingwood, cind Keller "bridges in Green township the Morehead and Hamilton bridges in Center township the Gundrum, Briles, Murnan and Lantz bridges in Sugar Creek township the Cushman bridge in Vernon township the Steele and Hiday bridges in Buck Creek township the Duncan bridge on the Center and Buck Creek township line and the Fair bridge on the line between Hancock and Madison counties.

The Westland bridge was a rebuilt job. The Collingwood bridge is the old Brandywine bridge moved and re-set. The Morehead bridge was moved from New Palestine by Hooton & Son, contractors, and is said to be a splendid piece of work of its kind. The Simmons and Cushman bridges are arches, and the Steele and Duncan bridges are rebuilt jobs. The Copeland bridge is the only piece of concrete work not completed.

On the Gundrum bridge, a $4,900 job, the concrete work is finished, but the steel is not up. This was the largest single job of the season and the Greenfield Bridge & Sewer Company has the contract.

The Robert Fair bridge, on the north county line, is completed by the contractors, Trittipo & Scott, and is reported as a fine piece of work.

The County Commissioners of Hancock and Madison counties will meet with the superintendent and engineer at the bridge Wednesday, to receive the same from the contractors. Charles Manifold was the superintendent.

In addition to the above bridge work, the contracts were let for the painting and repair, by tightening, cleaning, replacing broken parts, etc., of 71 bridges in the county, and all are now completed but eleven. The largest painting. contract was to Hooton & Son, for the painting, cleaning, etc., of the 240 feet span over Blue River, the contract price being $146 for this job.

The Greenfield Bridge & Sewer Company is putting in the bridge over Sugar Creek at the Harlan church in Brown township. In this job there is a construction of floor being put in. It is a creosote block and tar floor. First there is a 3inch floor of creosoted timber laid. This is then covered with 3 inches of creosoted blocks, and that is covered with several inches of tar.

George W. Crider, who has constructed more bridges in Hancock county than any other man, says that, it makes the best bridge floor possible to construct.

The completion of all this work will put the bridges of Hancock county in good condition.

Albert Parish, Floyd Burk, Wm. Wheeler, Bert Pauley and Dr. J. L. Allen attended the Charlottesville Odd Fellows' Lodge Saturday night and witnessed the conferring of the second degree on three candidates. Supper was served following the work.

A. L. Cunningham, of Indianapolis, is spending a few days with Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Hart. He is a brother of Mrs. Hart.

VACATION SUBJECT

Was Considered and Decided At Jackson Township Institute.

The Jackson Township Teachers' Institute was held at Charlottesville on Saturday, December 6th. Mr. Moore presided. The subject of letter writing and composition work in the fourth grade was given by Mr. Van Dyne, and simple, compound and complex sentences by R. M. Julian.

Miss Amick then discussed the subject of teaching the arts of communication. Which words and expressions may be called slang, change of speech, and the sentence, "It is Worth the effort to be honest," called forth warm discussion.

An action was taken upon date and length of the Christmas vacation. It was decided to let independent schools use their pleasure and that Charlottesville and Cleveland should dismiss on the 23d of December and resume work January 5th. January institute was announced by Trustee Orr to be held January 10, 1914.

Miss Walker's fifth grade pupils gave a dramatization of "The Widow Wiggins' Wonderful Cat," and much amusement was caused if the cat forgot to "mew" at the proper time. Master Walter Payne was especially good in the character of this discerning reader of human frailties.

Mr. Hunt and Miss Payne talked on the Immigration Problem, and the Negro Problem, respectively. Mr. Moore gave some points on the origin, composition and importance of conditions of the different soils.

Mrs. Glascock talked on the purpose of teaching the subject of sewing, the knowledge necessary, and the material needed in order to teach the subject. A number of articles illustrating the different stitches and other work, were then shown. Mrs. Blair's Model Tablets were shown and remarked upon.

Meeting adjourned with the injunction of the trustee to be sure to have a Christmas treat for the children and a Merry Christmas for each teacher.

Croup and Cough Remedy. Croup is a terrible disease, it attacks children so suddenly they are very apt to choke unless given the proper remedy at once. There is nothing better in the world than Dr. King's New Discovery. Lewis Chamberlain, of Manchester, Ohio, writes about his children: "Sometimes in severe attacks we were afraid they would die, but since we proved what a certain remedy Dr. King's New Discovery is, we have no fear. We rely on it for croup, coughs and colds." So can you. 50c and $1.00. A bottle should be in every home. At Zike & Henricks. (Advertisement)
