THOMAS BUGGY CO. ANNUAL OPENING
PROGRAM FOR PRACTICAL ARTS TEACHER’S MEETING
EVENT WHICH BRINGS THOUSANDS OF FARMERS TO GREENCASTLE, WILL BE HELD FRIDAY AND SATURDAY OF THIS WEEK—EXPECT A LARGE CROWD.
ARRANGE GOOD PROGRAM
The fifth annual spring opening of the Thomas Buggy Co., wiilch event each year brings thousands of Putnam county people to Greencastle, will be held Friday and Saturday of this week, at the Thomas Buggy Co., rooms on South Jackson street. Each year added interest is mini- | fest in this event. Oscar Thomas, Cleve Thomas and Fred Thomas, the brothers who compose the Irm, have made extensive arrangements for the event, and everyone who attends is assured a good time. The usual display of their vehicle and farming implements, with special represetatives from many of the firms manufacturing these articles here to demonstrate them, will be most interesting to the country folk. Special plans for entertainment of the visitors have been arranged by the buggy company management. Because of the fact that the recent rains will prevent the farmers from plowing before the first o' next week at the earliest, the farme-s will have nothing to keep them air hone and will, no doubt, take advantage of the opportunity to visit the opening. Both Friday and Saturday will be big days at the Thomas Buggy Co. sales rooms. WILL TELL ABOUT HUMAN SIDE OF LIFE OF LINCOLN

Hamrick, the present chairman of the Fifth Congressional District, by appointment, will be elected chairtnan to succeed himself at a meeting of the Democratic county chairmen to be held in the Terre Haute House, in Terre Haute, at 2 o’clock, Tuesday afternoon, April 4.

William Sutherlin, Putnam county chairman, stated Tuesday that if there was any opposition to the election of Mr. Hamrick, it had not developed sufficiently to warrant any anxiety on the part of Mr. Hamrick’s friends. Six counties constitute the fifth district. These six counties and the head of the Democratic organization in each, are as follows: Parke county—Dr. W. H. Gillium, Rockville. Vermillion county—Charles Fultz, Newport. Vigo county—George A. Moiehcad, Terre Haute. Clay county—Wiliam Strouble, Brazil. Hendricks county—Dr. A. P. W. Bridges, Plainfield.
J. W. W’eik, of Greencastle, one of the greatest students on the life of Lincoln, will deliver an address at the city teachers’ institute on Saturday, April 8. This address will be at the high school building and the public is Invited. Because of the expense of bringing Mr. Weik to this city an admission of twenty-five cents will be charged to every one. The subject of Mr. Weik’s talk will be the “Human Side of the Life of
♦— POLITICAL
(By Willis S. Thompson.) ; INDIANAPOLIS, March 28.—The vocation of Democratic assassination has been the chief occupation of the Indianapolis News for so many years that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Any man who has made his mark in the world of politics or business, if he has «een at all conspicuous and has refused to bend the knee and acknowledge the ownership and dictation of that newspaper, ’ as suffered abuse of the vilest and most vicious and malicious sort from the owners. While men like Beveridge and others have been on thel ist of those assailed for committing the unpardonable sin of being independent, more especial editorial attention has been given to the members of the Democratic party. Thomas Taggart has been particularly marked for assassination, because with all that this newspaper has been able to do in its attempts during the last quarter of a century to destroy every business that he has undertaken and to tear dow i his elements rf strength in the politier.i affairs of Indiana, hob as enjoyed marvellous business success, and politically his^ strength has grown con-
stantly.
Nothing that has happened in Indiana in a political way for many years has met with such all but unanimous approval by all the people of Indiana, obliterating party lines, as has the act of Governor Ralston, in naming Thomas Taggart to a seat in the United States senate. It renamed fc -v- Indianape.Iu News to object an I to do s i in i! <■ mov vicious way. In criticising, the editor took occasion to deplore the fact that Senator Thomas Taggart would fall far short of comparing with such men as Senator Dan W. Voorhees and others. There were few men wfio were in • loved in their life time by men of all political parties in Indiana than was Hon. Dan W. Voorhees. Few men in public life have ever made a stronger impression upon the affairs of the nation for good than did Hon. Dan W. Voorhees in the Unttec States senate.

For the last thirty years Mrs. Weik has spent most of his time in gathering material, delivering lectures and Writing hooks on the life of Lincoln and he will bring with him to tills city many manuscripts of a personal nature which he has been able to
gather.
