SUMMER RESORT

FEVER SEASON ON

The Longing For Cool Waters and the "Ker-choo" Affliction Drive People North at This

Season.

Summer resort fever, generally called hay-fever, will soon begin to attack the minds of summer vacationists. The "psychological depression" that goes with the longing for cool waters, the dreaminess of a quiet cast for bass will rouse the customary "ker-choo" that goes with the affliction.

The annual pilgrimage of sufferers from hay-fever will soon begin towards the Great Lakes and the smaller ones of Northern Indiana, where the atmosphere and other conditions are such, that they are not bothered with the annoying and depressing ailment while there and return in the fall ready for work and business. Greenfield has a good sized colony of these sufferers who are compelled to gto North every season about this time

It makes a big difference in results the way an advertisement comes to the notice of the public. If it is a billboard advertising one has to go to it, but if it is advertising in your local paper it comes to you. Quite a difference, isn't there? And the difference is quite as great to the business men and that is why the up-to~date merchant prefers the paper exerytime—and so does

To Our Farmer Friends and Patrons: We certainly appreciate the very generous patronage we have received at your hands. In the future, as in the past, it's a square meal and a square deal. We hope to have your continued good will and to deserve your patronage. Sixteen years' experience in this line of business has taught us just what you want and expect. If you don't get a square meal here, all you can eat, for 25 cents, don't pay for it. Court House Restaurant, west side Court House, South State street. 8d-lw-l (Advertisement.)

JOHNNIE BELL BUILDS HOME.

Former Greenfield Printer Is Doing Well at Lebanon, Ohio. J. C. Bell, formerly a printer of this city for several years, in the composing room of The Daily Reporter, and author of the articles published in this paper under the head "As the World Revolves," is permanently settled at Lebanon, Ohio, where he is foreman in the office of the Warren County Times, a weekly paper. Mr. Bell was married last fall to a lady of that city and he and his wife are now located in a new home. The Warren County Times of July 2nd contains the following poem and announcement:

Their New Home.

Sometimes a dream is realized. A cozy little home, Small but highly prized, Where love and flowers grow. A garden of wilderness of bloom With every sweet odor and perfume Spicy nasturtiums and fragrant heliotrope Covering the sunny slope. The golden poppy glowing there And roses, roses, everywhere The life inside is full of love, Sweet as the note of the wild wood dove. God's own plan for nature and man.

Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bell are moving into their handsome new home on Court, just off Mound street, in East Lebanon. Monroe & Johnston were the contractors for this wellbuilt house, and to say that the Bells are pleased with same would be expressing it mildly.

The Greenfield people who became acquainted with Mr. Bell during his stay here will be pleased to learn of his success and happiness in his new location.

All-Day Grove Meeting. There will be an all-day meeting Sunday, July 19th, held in the W. F. Thomas grove, two and one-half miles southeast of Greenfield. You all know where that is.
