To Make Friends

See The Hancock Democrat

This is not a something for nothing scheme in fact, it. is not a scheme at all, but a means whereby The Democrat hopes to extend its already large field of usefulness, to make friends for the paper and win a welcome in every household in the county.

Object of Contest

The object of The Democrat is! to advertise itself, increase its already'large circulation, that everyone may know that it is the paper that "prints all the news all the time." With this end in view. The Democrat has arranged this great automobile circulation campaign so that everyone residing in its terries tory may participate. Instead of employing a crew of subscription solicitors to increase its circulation

The Democrat has invested $1,000 in valuable prizes to be awarded to home ^people who enter the contest. It costs nothing to participate in this contest. We furnish the prizes and you furnish the subscriptions. That is all there is to it.

Square Deal for Everyone A square deal to all is the motto of this contest. Every candidate will receive ejual treatment, and there will be no favorites. That each candidate in the contest may

ntest.

ex-

The Democrat has spa'-e. pense in getting up the awards and plans to make event- in which all will be to take part. The object. campaign is to gain new readers The Democrat and io further '-ntrench it in the homes of the representative people of which this prosperous community is compr-seo.

OBITUARY

Margaret J.. eldest daughter of Alfred and Jane Plough Thomas, was born near Richland. Rush county, Indiana. July 5. 1835. She departed this life January 29. 1914. aged 78 years? 0 months and 24 days.

At an early age. she came with her parents to Hancock county, about the year 1838. and settled on the farm now7 owned by John Braddock. near Willow- Branch, which was then a dense forest.

It was here she cultivated industrious habits by assisting her father in clearing the farm, and caring for the stock, many times putting the sheep in the place prepared for them, to keep them from the wolves which were so numerous at that I ime.

Early in life she .joined the M. E. church and remained a member until twenty-six years prior to her death, when she placed her membership with the Warrington Christian church, and was buried w:ith her Lord in baptism by the Rev. Thomas Mitchell Wiles, and remained a faithful member until her death.

When her health permitted, she was very regular in attendance at church, although for the past twelve years she has been bowed dowrn with affliction, but never murmured, but always looked on the bright side of life.

she managed the farm, and fought life's battles for six long years, at the end of which time, on August i, 186t, she was again united in marriage to Stephen J. McCray with whom she lived for thirty-seven a

Again, with but little warning, she was deprived of a husband, which event took place on the 16th of January, 1901.

To this latter union, the^e were born four children Mazie A., wife of Alonzo Thomas, near Nameless Creek Alice Belle, wife of Alonzo Presnall, of New Castle Malissa Ann, wife of R. B. Yetter, of Wilkinson, and Walter W. McCray, who resides on the home farm, south of Warrington, Ind.

She had the care of not only her own, but four step-children, namely, Mrs. Isaac E. Thomas, of Erie, Kansas Dr. R. S. McCray, of Morristown, Ind. Mrs. B. F. Grass, of near Wilkinson, and Mrs. Mary C. Collins, now deceased.

She leaves to mourn her departure, six children, three step-chil-dren, seventeen grandchildren, besides there is one full sister, Mrs. Mary C. Curry, widow of the late Capt. I. A. Curry, of Greenfield five half-sisters and two halfbrothers Mrs. Sarah E. Braddock, of Portland, Ind. Mrs. Nancy H. Curry, Mrs. J. L, Smith and Mrs. J. Walter Lowry, of Greenfield, and Mrs. E. W. Felt, of Indianapolis Isaac F. Thomas, of Erie, Kansas, and John W. Thomas, of near Straughn, Ind. also William J. Thomas, now deceased.
