OBITUARY.

Elbina Commons was born at Green's Fork, near Centerville, Wayne county, Indiana, on the 18th day of February, 1823. After a brief residence there and while yet a mere child, with her widowed mother, she moved to Rush county, near Ivnightstown, not far from the present site of the Orphans' Home. Here, together with her three brothers and two sisters, she settled down in the heart of the virgin forest, where they proceeded to chop their farm out of the dense wood.

Being of a hardy, sturdy stock, and possessed of that ambitious, energetic and invincible disposition so characteristic of the early pioneers, she plunged into the details of a busy life, displaying an enormous amount of zeal, courage, determination and force of character, supported by a physical constitution that was marvelous in the extreme, her endurance causing amazement among her pioneer associates, in clearing of the land, building fences, rolling logs and all the sturdy busy activities of life in anew country, she was found at her post and doing the work of a stalwart man. In 1853 she plighted her troth to the man who had won her heart and on the third day of February, became the wife and life long companion of Allen Trumbal Hatfield, taking up her abode with him in the town of Cleveland, Indiana, where they resided for about seven years. To this happy union were born three sons, John Lewis, who died in infancy Isaac J. and Charles V. In 1860, they moved to the farm east of Cleveland, destined to become her home for the balance of her life, aside from a portion of the time of the few latter declining years of her life, which was divided between her two sons, and likewise the place for' her to close her eyes on the culmination of a busy, eventful, beautiful and useful life, to cross the threshhold of eternity to receive her reward for the deeds done in the body. At this pleasant home in the. forest, she watched the wheel of progress and owing to the invalid and enfeebled physical condition of her companion, her heroic, stalwart character and previous stern, frontier experience again predominated as she assisted in the heavy details consequent to its evoltrtion into a comfortable, improved twentiethcentury farm house. In her early vicissitudes of life she felt the need of a Savior and helper that would never leave nor forsake her and gave her heart to God, and in the primitive days of the Cleveland M. E. church and under the ministry of Rev. Bowers, she united with that organization and has been a continual member since, being the oldest living member at the time of her demise, which occurred at the old homestead, August 17, 1914, at 3:20 p. m., at the ripe old age of ninety-one and a half years, lacking a few hours leaving two sons, three grandchildren and two great grandchildren, together with a large host of relatives, loving neighbors and dear friends to mourn her departure, but rejoice over her triumph.

Aunt Bina, as she was so universally known, was of a cheerful, bright and sunshiny disposition, always intent on looking on the bright side of life and ever greeting her friends and loved ones with a smile and cheery word, regardless of environments, which endeared her to the vast circle of admiring friends.

Another lengthy chapter the great drama of life is come to a close as this ancient heroine of Indiana's pioneers steps off the plane of action and truly can be said with the language of inspiration, "Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season." 24d-l-w-l (Advertisement.)

INDIANA GOVERNMENT DISPLAYS AT THE FAIR

Commonwealth Will Show Educational Work at State Fair.

/The extensive and effective educational work that is being done by various departments of the Indiana state government for the benefit of the Hoosier people will be shown by elaborate exhibits at the Indiana State Fair the week of Sept 7. These departments are going far in their work of enlightening both farm and city people to the end of better and more economical living conditions. Some of these exhibits have been seen at the fair for years, showing improvement at every fair, and visitors have found the displays to be sources of information of direct help to them.

The newest of these exhibits will be made by the state fire marshal, the purpose of which will be to enlighten the public on how to prevent losses by fire. The exhibit will be along the lines of one given by the National Association of Manufacturers in New York last May, and many manufacturers of fireproof material will contribute to the exhibit at the State Pair. Numerous pictures of large fires and of fire hazzards over the country will be shown. The fire marshal's department will display charts showing both' national and Indiana fire losses, causes and suggestions of prevention. Pictures will also be shown of buildings that the fire marshal has condemned, rubbish conditions as they prevail in many places, and which always threaten fire loss. Model and bad flue construction will be another subject In which all builders will be interested. In the manufactured displays will be lire extinguishers, fire alarm system, fireproof doors and window shutters, exits and asbestos ware of many kinds. One manufacturer will show a model fireproof home with siding, shingles and other unburnable material.

The Indiana State Board of Forestry will have an enlarged exhibit at the fair which will interest all city and country home lovers who would grow and protect trees. The exhibit will also show how to treat woods to prevent decay, and in its display tff woods the State Board will show how these Hoosler-grown materials of. less expensive kinds may be substituted for the more expensive and less prevalent species.

The State Food Commissioner will again have a large exhibit showing honest and dishonest weights and measures, displays of impure drugs and adulterated foods, all of which have been gathered by the inspectors from the open markets of Indiana cities and towns, and through the exhibits the public may learn how to protect themselves from the practice? of fraudulent manufacturers and dis honest dealers.

The State Entomoligist has for years been doing effective educational work among Indiana people by displays at the fair, especially in how to combat the parasites and diseases which attack orchards and gardens Specimens of insect enemies, examples of diseases, methods of spraying and when and how to use spraying materials, make this exhibit of immeasurable value both to farm people and to city nature lovers. A special feature will be insects and plant diseases that are prevalent In Indiana this year.

The boys' judging contest, conducted by Purdue University experts, will be one of the best educational features for the youth from Hoosier farms. The State Board of Agriculture also offers |200 in the Purdue corn growing contest, to be awarded at the oorn show at Purdue next January.

THE

LOST GOLD PIECE WHS VALUED HIGHLY

W. C. Dudding Carried $20 Piece Since Bryan Campaign of 1896 When He Demanded Gold.

The twenty-dollar gold piece which W. C. Dudding lost with his pocketbook a few days ago, was one that -he had carried as a pocket piece for more than eighteen years. He had carried it since the Bryan campaign of 1896. Mr. Dudding was an ardent Bryan Democrat, and in that campaign, when a gold standard banker friend of his was paying him some money, Mr. Dudding, just to joke him about being a gold-bug and still using silver and paper money, demanded payment in gold. The banker was game, however, and said: "We are not paying gold on demand, but being as it is you, I will pay you in gold." So he. gave Col. Dudding the twenty-dollar piece, and he had carried it ever since. He regretted very much to lose it, not so much for the value only, as because it was a keepsake which he prized very highly. He said he would pay a very liberal reward to the finder who will return the property. The pocketbook which was leather was very soft and pliable, and contained the twenty-dollar gold piece, a big copper cent and some keys.

Heres Greenfield testimony. Mrs. Charles Byers, 101 N. Pratt Street, Greenfield, says: "I suffered intensely from pains across my back and kidneys. I had dizzy spells and was convinced that my kidneys were out of order. Reading about Doan's Kidney Pills, got a supply and I must confess that I never took another medicine that gave such satisfaction. It required only one box of Doan's Kidney Pills to bring a cure. Others of my family have taken Doan's Kidney Pills and in each instance the results have been satisfactory. I have previously given a public statement tel ling of my experience, and at this time I gladly confirm it."
