It was at first intended to begin the improvements here, which are to be very extensive, on Mcin street, and of this we gave a description some weeks ago. It was found, however, that they will need room to work in while these improvements are being made, more than was supposed at the time. t or that reason the Main street changes and new office at the corner of Main and second streets will come later. The old brick on north third street will be torn away and the work began today. A brick building 10x136 will be placed here and is to be used as a setting-up room and a stock room. The building at present is used as a setting-up room and will then be used for a foundry and then the Main street changes will be made.

OUR PIONEER. Death of the Oldest Man Who Was Born in This County. James Harrell this morninsr re--ceived a telephone message from Lafayette announcing the death of

his father in-law, William Commons Bond, at that place this morniDg. Mr. Bond was the oldest man living who was born in this county and was one of first white children born in the county. He was in his !Uth vear. He was the fourth son of Jesse and Phoebe Commons Bond who came here from Virginia and settled on the farm where Earlham col'oge now stands in 1808, where Mr. Bond was born on August 23jJ He lived on the Earlham farm until! 1813, when the family removed to; near Greensfork on the farm where the father died and where the son also lived until recent-" ly. The father was a minister in the society of Friends anduied at the age of 84; the mother died at the aire of (52. In 1824 William Bond with bis father and brothers dug a race and erecttd one of the first saw mills in this county and perhaps in the state and soon after bjilt a woolen mill. The latter westhe first mill in this country that manufactured and fulled woolen cloth. It stood acro-s the stream from the bouse ner Greensfork in which he lived so many years and both buildings stood for many years. His wife was Hannah Locke, whose parents were early settlers in the county. They celebrated their golden wedding in 1880.

The 'following parties were award ed prizes at the Indianapolis Floral i Festival yesterday:

John Ilartie of Indianapolis won a bronze medal for a new carnation. The South Park Floral company of New Castle won a special prize for Golden Gateroses. Henry Rieman was given a certificate for new white and pink chrysan themums, and certificates for new carnations were given to John Har tie, also a certificate to J. A. Peter son of Cincinnati for begonias. . Speaking of the Indianapolis floral exhibit the News of, last night says: E. G. Hill of Richmond, has in his exhibit white and yellow chrysanthemums that could sot be slipped into a half gallon measure. , The white flowers look like large balls of snow, and they are of a variety, the "Timothy Eaton," which has never been shown here. Young & Smith, Indianapolis growers, have an exhibit of violets on the stage, around which the women flocked during the evening. The violets had double fl wers, and their odor was as attractive as their beauty. In another exhibit was a chrysanthemum plant on which white, yellow and white and pink flowers were blooming, the variety of colors having been obtained by the grafting process. This process was shown to greater extent by another plant which produces chrysanthemums, marguerites and daisies. The pitcher plant is one of the floral curiosities on at the show. It is with the orchid exhibit, and the florists tell of the queer antics of the plant in producing its flowers. It is said that a substance similar to honey oozes out of the plant. This sweetness attracts flies and other iasects and, after a number entangle their feet in the trap the plant has set, it suddenly bursts a bloom that shuts up the prisoners. One florist tells this story with such seriousness that people who hear it are inclined to believe it. Elks Tonight.

The change would be one of advantage to the company, since all trains of the C.,H. fc D. stop at Liberty and do not at Cottage Grove. So far as Richmond is concerned the change would be a Ogood one, connecting Richmond with Liberty direct and thus giving us access to territory which now we can scarce reach at alL The suit of Frank Bailey vs. the Minck Brewing Co. is on in circuit court today, Whitesell for Bailey, Johnson for the Minck concern.
