PAV TAXES AND AVOID TAXATION

TAXPAYERS PAID $10,000 LAST WEEK AM) MORE EXPECTED THIS WEEK. ASSESSING

BE(iI\S MARCH. 1. j£

The advance rush in paying the spring installment of taxes has i&M started at the county treasurer's office. The rush at this time is due to the fact that the county assessor and his deputies start to work next

Monday morning and large taxpayers, by paying their taxes at this time avoid paying taxes on the money. The large taxpayers believe this way to be the best, as it is a saving in the long run.

The rush started a week ago and last week there was more than $10,000 paid in to the treasurer. A large number, big land owners and people with plenty of ready money, pay both the spring and fall installments. The treasurer expects this week to return even heavier receipts •than last. Those who have not the money have until the first Monday in May to pay the spring installment.

Gets Up to Fix Fire and Then Disappears. Mystery surrounds the disappearance last Thursday night of Henry Ninstead, age about fifty years, who might as well have been swallowed up by a hole in the earth, so far as knowledge of his whereabouts is concerned, it is said. According to the story which just became known in New Salem Sunday, Ninstead retired as usual last Thursday night. Some time during the night, his wife says, Ninstead got up to fix the fire. He never returned to bed and has not been seen since.—Rushville Republican.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY. FEBKUARY

HIS FIRST MEETING t: II GREAT SUCCESS

Evangelist John T. Hatfield Tells of Big lievival at Iola, Kansas, •ffiS Whieh He Recently Held.

Evangelist John T. Hatfield has been in Kansas "firing up some of the big churches," as he expresses it, writes the following letter to The Reporter: "I have just closed up a thirty days' campaign in a big M. E. church at Iola, Kansas. They had a membership of over 700, and the biggest part of it was dead timber. There wTere a few green saplings and some underbrush that had the appearance of life, but when we began to put fire in that old deadening, "Hark, from the tomb that doleful sound," what a smoke it did raise, but it all came from a few old water soaked logs that wouldn't take fire and they tried to smoke us out, but we just kept piling on dry chunks and punching the fire and kept them smoking and the fire burning in other places. It broke out in the high school and a great many students came to church and got on fire and they made it hot for the crowd in the back part of the house. They had the real thing they proved their faith by their zealous works. It is not often we see so many young girls and boys who manifest such a missionary spirit in congregational working and they were untiring in their efforts. "God wonderfully honored their faith in leading many to the cross.

We have no idea as to numbers it seemed as if the biggest part of the church was reclaimed and a great many outside of the church were saved. This was my first meeting for this year and it was a great success, but would have been far better had it not been for the smoke from the old logs in the buttonwood pond. It affected the eyes of a good many. They couldn't see how to work in that clearing. They didn't like the fire and were very much opposed to the methods used in rolling the logs and cleaning up the trash, but whenever a preacher figures to use fire, that will drive the smokers from the dry sticks, and if you want to see a big smoke, just begin to preach fire in some of these old

flinch or shrink. Sometimes the smoke would cause his eyes to water, but it was the kind of a meeting he wanted, only more of it, but there is no doubt but what he will have a different church from this on. I met one of our old county boys out there, Walter Ham and he stood by us through thick and thin." ...

Uncle Sam is waging a relentless war on the deadly house fly and in a late bulletin prepared by the department of agriculture, valuable information is given on the best means of combating this deadly pest. The most effective way of exterminating the fly, according to the bulletin, is to eradicate his breeding places. The breeding season of the fly begins early in March and continues throughout the spring and summer months. All dirt should be removed from the premises, stables cleaned and decaying vegetables destroyed. ...

The fly has righly been called the undertaker's traveling salesman, and in addition to his regular line of "typhoid bugs," he carries a side line of tuberculosis, Asiatic cholera and other disease germs. Now is the time to "swat the fly."

Trousers Stolen 29 Years Ago Returned to Owner Elkhart, Ind., February 22.—J. S. Banniman, of this city, lost a pair of trousers by theft twenty-nine years ago.

Mr. Banniman took them to a tailor for pressing and now expects to get his money's worth out of them.
