Dr. E. R. Carswell, who has been away from Greencastle off and on for the past several years, has returned here to make his permanent home. Mrs. Georgeann Byerley returned last evening from Crawfordsville, where she had been spending a few days with her sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Tapscott. Word has been received here from A. A. Leachman r f Knightsville lo the effect that he suffered a stroke of paraylsis on Tuesday. His condition is very serious. He formerly lived in this county. Mrs. John McLinden, 504 south Jackson street has received the announcement of the birth of a greatgrandson, John William Hall of Flagstaff, Ariz. Mrs. Hall was formerly Miss Bernadine Nutt of this city. Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Carswell are in receipt of word from their brother, James E. Vermillion, saying it was another J. E. Vermillion, who was injured in the Fortville traction wreck last Saturday. Mr. Vermillion, who formerly lived here, is now in Ohio. E. B. Taylor, manager of the Midwest Quarries Company, was in Indianapolis today attending a meeting of officials of the company who met to award a contract for the construction of the new plant to be erected here to take the place of the one destroyed by fire a few weeks ago. There will be three High School Color Team games in the High School gym tomorrow night. They will start at 6:30. The games will be as follows: Red and Green, Black and Yellow, and White and Blue. The games are being swiftly played out and from present indications the crown is dangling between the Blacks who have won four out of four games, the Browns who have won four out of five games and the Purples who hlave copped five out if six. The team with the lowest standing is the Green team with a loss of five out of six.

Tfte Nefct Signature m Governor Jenningsis still legible on the manuscript which created Putnam County on Dec. 21, 1821—and which led to the location of Greencasde just two years later. In history’s eye, but a handful of years has passed since the Indians trapped and trailed over the spot which we are now so proud to call Greencastle. But, during those spanning years, many things have happened. Conspicuous among the institutions which have energized Greencastle’s progress is the First National Bank—an institution which has kept faith with the community ever since its organization over sixty years ago, and still serves its thousands of customers with undiminished courtesy and appreciation.

LOSES BIG COURT CASE

NEW ORLEANS BEAUTY LOSES HEART BALM SUIT AGAINST ASA C. CHANDLER

ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 6—(United Press)—Mrs. Onezima DeBouchel.l New Orleans beauty was on her way j home today “surprised and disap- j pointed and without any of the half million dollars she sought as heart balm from the wealthy Asa C. Chan- 1

dler.

A jury in Federal District Court

returned a verdict denying Mrs. De-1 Bouchel any damages on the grounds ^ that she is still the legal wife of p]

Adolphe Rocquet from whom she se-

cured a divorce decree in Reno, Nev. ® “The jury in this case for technical j! legal reasons was afforded no oppor- ^

tunity to condemn Mr. Candler and

punish him for his inexcusable at-1 tack upon my character,” Mrs. De-

Bouchel said after the verdict. “An attack so inexcusable that upon the trial of this case he offered no witness to sustain his reasons for breaking our engagement and his

counsel openly admitted that no at-

tack of any kind could be made on

me.”
