ON SOUTH SIBE

RESIDENTS OF SOUTH SIDE OF CITY PROUD OF HOMES AND MANY IMPROVEMENTS

ARE NOTED.

Wrile there has been an unusual amonut of improvement work done on homes in Greenfield this season, there is no part of town where the people are prouder of their homes and showing more interest in improvements than south of Main street. In almost every square of that part of the city, improvements of some kind have been made or are being made, not only on homes, but in a business way as well.

The Purity Milk and Ice Cream Company is making costly improvements and additions at their plant, corner of Pennsylvania and Depot streets, and Charles Huston has decided on some improvements and repairs at his livery barn, north of the creamery.

Frank Williams has painted his house on the corner of Pennsylvania and Osage streets and E. L. Gorman has painted his house on the opposite corner. Miss Sue Wilson has painted her three properties on the east- side of Pennsylvania and further down, one of the Snow properties has been newly roofed.

On Mechanic street, Henry Scott and Jacob Miller have painted their homes nicely, and the A. C. VanDuyn house, on the corner of Mechanic and Osage, occupied by George Gray, has been newly shingled. Sanford Snodgrass, who lives west of Mechanic street, has purchased additional ground and is putting up new fences and making other improvements.

Thomas Bovel is starting a new bakery west of Pierson street and Earl Gambrel has moved his wood repair shop from Pennsylvania to Pierson street. E. Meisel, who bought the Adams land, with house lacing on Tague street, is making improvements on the property and Will Marsh is building a new veranda, painting and making numerous other repairs on his West -Osage street property.

Clarence Waddell, who purchased property on South State street recently, is having a new foundation put in and numerous other repairs made and will build a new machine shop on the west side of the lot. Ray Hooton, who purchased the property, corner of State and Pierson streets, put it upon a new cement block foundation and built two or three new rooms. Frank Cully is converting the old G. V. Vickery property, corner of Osage and East streets, into a bungalow, and Joseph Peck has made a fine bungalow out of the properly he purchased on South State street.

Rose Warrurn, of South Meek street, has rebuilt the kitchen, built a new coal house, painted and made jothtr repairs and A. C. Rossow, of Meek street, is improving his property with a new cement veranda.

Mary Knox, of Cemetery street, is making a big change in her home with repairs and paint. Will Cox, of South Mount street, has also painted his house.

John Andrick, of Meek street, has erected a coal house and shop on the site of the building that burned there several months ago. Charles rKiger has moved his house from

South East to South State street, wadded a new veranda and made other repairs, and Fred Chappel has moved a large house from the cjorner of Chenter and Osage to South West street.

There are no doubt other improvements in this section of our city that have been overlooked, but the above list is enough to convince any person that there is "something doing" in the improvement line in ^the southern part of the city.

Some Places Have Had But Little

Rain In Many Weeks—Corn, Vegetables and Clover. Suffer.

If there is anyone who thinks that a severe drought, the worst in many years, is not being experienced in a good part of Hancock county, he need only take a trip through the country to disabuse his mind of the idea. Evidences of the drought that is causing the farmers more worry than all their other troubles put together are to be found on every hand and that without any special effort. Several different kinds of crops and in fact, all the crops have been affected. The wheat and early potatoes wrere affected and the oats crop was cut short. The corn is suffering terribly for moisture and has been for weeks. Had we been favored with good rains a few weeks ago, Hancock county w7ould have produced one of the greatest crops of corn ever produced here. Now, however, there is no chance for a bountiful crop, but plenty of rain would benefit all of the corn some and some of the late corn a great deal.

In the young clover fields is where the drought is getting in its worst work now, however. Pastures, both in fields and woods, look almost as dry and barren as if a fire had swept them. Stock nibble about and get practically nothing ^tg, eat.

The young clover, which came up with great promise, is killed out and the ground parched and cracked open. Late potatoes, which many were depending on to make up for the failure of the early crop, will do but little good unless we have a good rain soon. Many farmers say there is but little chance even now for the late potato crop. In a drive of thirty miles a few days ago, only one or two fields of corn were seen that did not show the blighting marks of the great drought, and they were on bottom land well protected from the hqt winds by timber.

Headache and Nervousness Cured. "Chamberlain's Tablets are entitled to all the praise I can give them," writes Mrs. Richard Olp, Spenceport, N. Y. "They have cured me of headache and nervousness and restored me to my normal health." For sale by all dealers. (Advertisement.)

BIG PIT OPENED NEAR NORTH COUNTY LINE IS OLD INDIAN BURIAL GROUND.

CONTAINS FIVE ACRES.

A skeleton, supposed to be that of an Indian, was found Wednesday in a gravel pit opened in Madison county, just over the Hancock county line. The pit was opened up by Johnson & Hoppes, who are building the county line road, over seven miles, to get gravel for the road. It is a hill over 30 feet high and contains about five acres. It is thought to be an old Indian burial ground and they expect to find more skeletons. The one found was not very deep in the ground. The county surveyor, who is engineer on this road, was present, together with his assistants, when the skeleton was found.

Big Road Debt In Wayne. In a report compiled last week and issued this morning, Wayne county is shown to be in debt for improved roadways to the extent of $330,515. Up to May 30, 1914, there has been paid $58,025 of the original bonds, which totaled $388,540.

•,

IN GRAVEL Pll

This is on 15 roads in the county, nine of which are in Wayne township. The Haas and Burton roads have nothing paid on them and are included in this general total.

The amount outstanding in Wayne township is $298,265 of the original $345,100 in original bonds for nine roads in Wayne township alone.

The large amount of this bonded indebtedness for roads has caused a large increase in tax rates and will cause a several cent increase in the tax rate for this year.—Richmond Item.

Health Hints.

Always know the source of the water you drink. Investigate the milk supply if you have a baby.

Have a pretty good idea of the kitchen and the food supply of the place where you stop.

Investigate for children's diseases before you stop. Do not overeat during the first part of your vacation. There is plenty else to do. Do not eat lit all just after unwonted exertion.

Do not tax your physical powers of endurance. Do not take unnecessary risks.

Those who have suffered from neuralgic pains need not be told how necessary it is to secure relief. The easiest way out of neuralgia is to use Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. They have relieved sufferers for so many years that they have become a household necessity. "I have taken Dr. Miles' Anti-Fain Pills for live years and they are the only thing that does me any good. They have relieved neuralgia in my head in fifteen minutes. I have also taken them for rheumatism, headache, pains in the breast, toothache, earache and pains in the bowels and limbs. I have found nothing to equal them and they are all that Is claimed for them."

Fruit Crop Very Light. Inquiry among the farmers of Hancock county reveals the fact that the fruit crop this year will be exceedingly light. The farmers re-* port that there is little or no prospect for any fruit. Some time ago they gave up hopes of having any peaches, apples or pears. There will be a fair crop of grapes, however, and some plums, although these will not be up to the standard. It is evident that if the people of Hancock county wish fruit for canning or table use, it will have to be imported from more southerly counties where the crop is fair.
