SMALL MAJORITY

OVER TWELVE HUNDRED VOTES CAST IN LOCAL OPTION ELECTION SATURDAY—THE "WETS" WIN BY A MAJORI

TY OF 52 VOTES.

Greenfield voted to retain' her saloons at Saturday's local option election, the majority in favor of a "wet" town being 52.

This majority was the result of the second ward vote, the other two wards giving small dry majority.

The campaign was a hard fought one and the election was bitterly contested. There was a great deal of interest manifested not only in Greenfield but in all the surrounding community. A heavy vjte wv polled. 1.222 ballots being cast in the three wards. There was a great crowd in town Saturday night to learn the result of the election. The third ward reported about eight o'clock, with 140 votes against the saloons and 138 in favor of saloons, or a majority of 8 against saloons. he second ward reported about 9 o'clock, with 230 votes for the saloons and 162 against the saloons, or a majority of 68 in favor of the saloons. The first ward did not report until 9:30 o'clock and it was expected by many that the "dry" majority there would overcome the "wet" majority in the second ward. There was a great crowd around the first, ward polling place to get the returns. When the report was given it showed that 556 votes had been casl. 277. against the saloon and 269 in lavor of tlie saloons, or a "dry" majority ol' only 8. leaving a total "wet" majority of 52. The result of this election means that saloons will operate in Greenfield lor at least two years before another election can be called.

OBITUARY.

On February 12, 1900 there came into the home of John and Maggie Wickliff a darling little girl who was known as Ruby LaVaughn. Hejr life can be compared to that of a flower, only to bloom and fade away. Through all her afflictions she was happy and cheerful and until death never complained of {lie great pain and suffering which she endured.

Ruby was a child of a sweet, disposition and one who had a smile for all she met and to know her was to love her. She departed this life Sunday morning, April 26, 1914, age 14 years, 2 months and 14 days. She leaves to mourn their loss, father, mother, six brothers and one sister, namely, Grover, Emmitt, Ralph, Russell, Oren, Lester, and Mrs. Leona Barnes and many other relatives and friends.

Her funeral was preached at the Mt. Lebanon church near her home by Rev. Forest Crider, assisted by Rev. Clawson and her body was laid to rest at the cemetery near the church. "A precious one from us is gone,

A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our hom^, Which can never more be fnled." Just beyond the chilling tide blows the tree of life immortal,

And the living waters glide. Baby is in that happy land of spirit,

Flowers bloom on hills of gold, Where the Angels are awaiting her, When the pearly gates unfold. ..Written by a Friend.

Mr. and Mrs. Pasco left last night on a trip and will be "at home" to all their friends at 120 Grant Street, after May 15th.

OVER A HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE

IN IMTEII STATES ACCORDING TJ rSTIMATE OF POPULATION.

Washington, D. C.,—The United States is a country of 109 0-J0 000 people, according to the bulletin containing ihe estimates of p^jul ition for the years subsequent t. the Thirteenth Census, soon to be pn.i-lisli-.d by Director William J. Ha- rs !if the 1-jjvau of the Census, Department of Commerce. It was ,uv pared uuotr the supervision ol C. S. Sloane. Geographer.

As si a eu, the estimated ppf/ul:vla'ion of the United States for ,k.\y /, 1914. will be 109,021,922. f!.o population of the United States and its possessions in 1910 was 101,748269 so there will have been an estimated gain of over 7,000,0'0 persons in a little more than four years. The corresponding estimated population of Continental United States for July 1, 1914, is 98.781.324, as compared with the population of 91,972,266, as returned by enumerators, April .15, 1910, This bulletin also presents the estimates of population in 19!0, 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914, for he states and territories, and for cities which had 8,000 or more inhabitants in 1910.

Estimates of population are required primarily for use in the Census Bureau in calculating death rates and per capita averages for years other than the Census year. The so-called arithmetical method was adopted for computing these estimates. It is the simplest and it has been shown by experience to come nearer in accuracy in the majority of cases than any other formula. It rests on the assumption that the increase in population each year since the enumeration is equal to the annual increase from 1900 to 1910.

The bulletin presents in its several tables population data for the United Stales and its outlying possessions in 1910 and 1900, with estimates of the population July 1st, 1914, 1913, 1912, 1911 and 1910. Similar data is also presented for the different states in the Union. There is also presented a statement of the white and-colored population on April 15, 1910, together with estimates of the white and colored population as of July 1st for each of the years, 1914 1913, 1912, 1911, and 1910. These estimates, howeyer, have been confined to the states having a considerable proportion of colored population, no estimate being presented for any state that did not have 50,000 or more colored inhabitants on April 15, 1910, or at least ten per cent of its population colored.

The population of Indiana is estimated at 2,779,467 Illinois, 5.986,781 Kentucky, 2,350,731 Michigan, 2,976,030 and of New York, 9,899.761.

The population of Indianapolis is given as 259,413 Louisville, Kentucky, 235,114 Chicago, Illinois, 2,393,325 Atlanta, Georgia, 179,292 Detroit, Michigan, 537,650 Cincinnati, 402,175 and New York, 5.333,537.

HAVE REEN DRAGGED, WORKED AND PUT IN FINE CONDITION WITH MUCH

LESS MATERIAL

The Hancock county roads are in splendid condition for this time of year. A drive over the county shows a greater part of them to be smooth and nice. Some of the roads are almost as smooth as pavements and this condition was brought about largely by dragging and working them. Less material lias been used than in any previous season, it is claimed.

The county superintendent of roads, Charles N. Warren, is a great believer in working and dragging the roads often and well. Among his eleven district superintendents there seems to be considerable friendly rivalry to see which can maintain the best roads and all are showing marked results in this line. On many of the roads the sod along the side of the driveway has been scraped clear away, leaving the road proper in good shape to drain properly and quickly. This, with frequent dragging, which conserves the material and makes a smooth serface at the same time, are credited with putting the roads in the splendid condition they are now in. Hancock county men are not the only ones that have learned to drag and work their roads, however. The Marion County Mail of last week says: "Out from the barnyard the other day came four good strong horses attached to a road drag. Two men rode the drag and up and down a mile of highway they went, filling the ruts and making smooth where before had been a rough road holding the water in its ruts. Thoroughly to drag the mile of road took two hours. The men who did the work must thereby have increased their pride and self-respect. And think of Ihe comfort, it brought to those who must travel that way. True, the work will all need some day to be done over again, but what of that?"
