Several months ago the First National Bank sued Mr. Vermilion asking a foreclosure on two chattel mortgagee, one for $i!400 and the other for $1200. Shortly before tbe case was filed Mr. Vermilion had placed his business in the hands of an Indianapolis Wholesale house, as trustee, aud the trustee filed an answer to the complaint tor foreclosure, alleging that ’he chatel mortgages were not valid, because the goods ou which the origionai mortgage had been taken bad been sold and other goods substituted in their place The case was argued belore Judge Rawley before he left the Putnam County bench, hut his finding in the case was not made public until Thursday morning Judge Rawley finds that the mortgages are valid and that the notes must be paid. S.A. Hays, representing the trustee for James Vermillion, Wednesday morning filed a motion in the Cir cult asking for a new trial in the case of the First National Bank, against Jamen Vermilion for the foredfcsure of two mortgages. The new trial is asked on the grounds that the finding of Judge Rawley for the bank is not in keeping with the evidence in the case.

BRAZIL, Ind., May 4—J. D. Poliom, of this city, dicaler in Texas land, was arrested at Indianapolis last evening on a federal grand jury indictment, charging him with obtaining money under talse pretenses. Attorney R. L. Shattuck was called to Indianapolis to arrange for the release of Mr. Poliom on $5,000 bond which was fixed by Judge Anderson in the federal court. While the charge against Mr. Poliom is a serious one hie friends claim that there is nothing in the case and that he will have no trouble in proving his innocence of any wrong doing. It is claimed that an Indianapolis man purchaeed some Texas land in the Panhandle district from Mr Poliom for $13,000. The purchaser visited the land, found it to be all right and moved to the farm After locating on hie Texas farm it is claimed that the purchaser wrote letters back to his friends claiming that the farm was just as represented and that he was well pleased with hi* bargain. These letters are now in the possession of Mr. Poliom and will be used in the trial. Later it seems that the Indianapolis man became dissatisfied with life on the Texas farm for some reason and demanded his money hack. When this was refused he went before the federal grand jury and secured the indictment of Mr Poliom on the charge of misrepresenting the land to him. Many rumors were In circulation here today regarding the trouble but as far as can be learned this seems to be the facts in the case

—Brazil News.

iPollom is well known in Greencastle and has sold Texas land to many persons in this city and Put-

nam county.

In Sunday's Terre Haute Tribune appears a picture of Judge Rawley, of this city, who has been chosen to try the Roberts case, ft we were Judge Rawley we would spend the time acorded to the trial of the Roberts case to waging war on the Tribune for damages. Any jury chosen from any place on earth except a blind asylum would give him damages because of that pteture. It looks like it had been taken after the judge had just recovered from a complication of diseases, including jaundice and smallpox, a sort of a “before and after’’ picture. Our Judge is a handsome man and we do not propose to have him insulted by any out of town newspaper.—Brazil Time*.

Many of the orchard men of Putnam county have begun spraying their apple trees as a preventative of the codling moth. The moth gets into the blossoms and there deposits an egg. When the apple develops from the blossoms, the egg is within the apple. It hatches into an insect and matures with the apple and when the fruit is about half grown begins to eat its way out. The moth is very destructive when ieft to do its work.

A man s soul needs accom-j modatlons in its dwelling place for associations. It must not he cramped. If you want a foundation that will remain unmoved when the disentergating build on Jesus Christ. A building of much importance is not erected in an hour a noble character is not a thing of quick formation. Time and circumstances too are necessary."

Facts About Motherhood

The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. No$ one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself! Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at the time of child-birth, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial ol strength, and when the strain is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this conies the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, women will persist in gning blindly to the trial. It isn’t as though the experience came upon them unaw ares. They have ample time in which to prepare, but they, for the most part, trust to chance and pay the penalty. In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy, and strong. Any woman who would like special advice in regard to this matter is cordially invited to write to Mrs. Pink ham at Lynn, Mass. Her letter will be held in strict confidence.

JUST A STARTER Through the effort of the Commercial Club, ihe streets of Roachilale will be oiled again this season; the plan as presented to the town board by the club was approved and the "dope" has been ordered; the work will be started just as soon as the oil arrives; the sprinkler is being put in condition for applying the oil which will be put on hot this year. Merely as a starter, a tank car of ten thousand gallons has been ordered, there will probably be one or two more tank cais ordered as the proposition lias proved to be thoroughly satisfactory and the cost is merely nominal.
