NEW LOTTEKV KAKED WITH GIKI.S OFFEKKU AS I’KI/KS LONI'ON, (UP) An international sweepstakes, offering girls of all nationalities as prizes, has been discovered by European police. Tickets in the amazing gamble, it is believed, still are being sold in most European countries, and particularly in the night resorts and club of London, Berlin. Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Home. French, Belgian and German detectives, investigating the activities of white slave traffickers, made the discovery. A number of persons suspected of being ring-leaders in the world’s strangest lottery, or implicated in the affair, are being sought by special police.

“The “Gros Lot,” as the French term the principal prize, Is in pulchritude. Winners are offered their choices of girls of ail nationalities, whose photographs are shown by secret sellers of the tickets. It is said that the promoters have already conducted two sweepstakes and have delivered girls to the winners. In the last lottery, it is understood, a French and an English girl were the first two prizes. Several other girls of different nationalities went to subsidiary prize winners. The price of the tickets varies according to the country in which they are offered, ^he current price in England is half a crown (approximately 65 cents); in Germany, 3 marks ($1.20); and in France, 10 francs (60 cents) Promoters stipulate that the win-

ners should be In a position to enter- ( tain their “prizes” lavishly for a reasonable number of years. Failing to , satisfy the promoters on this point, j the winners forfeit their rights to | the prize. Police raided the “accommodation" i headquarters of the promoters in Paris. A sack of letters coming | from all parts of the world demand- | ing tickets or enclosing money for , tickets already sold was seized. There also were letters from girls or their | agents expressing their wish to be put on the prize list.

OBITUARY

A good wife, mother, aunt, neighbor and friend has gone to her reward. Lora Jane, daughter of Joel and Arziliia (Jenkins) Weathers, was born in Cloverdale township, Dec. 2, 1856 and departed this life Oct. 5, 1936 at 10:40 p. m. at her home one mile east of Putnamville, having almost attainefl the ripe old age of four score. She was the fifth child of a family of ten children, all having preceded her in death except one sister, Mrs. Joe Herbert of Cloverdale. Her girlhood was spent in the vicinity of her birthplace and on July 22, 1880, she was united in marriage to Alfred F. Cooper of Putnamville and to this union was bom one son Forest Maynard, from whose sudden death Nov. 19, 1925, this mother never recovered. When this son was a small boy, a brother of Aunt Jane died leaving a family of children and she took a nephew, Frank W. Weathers into her home and the two boys grew up together like brothers, this good woman bestowing all the love and kindly interest that an aunt could give, and although this nephew has been gone from the home many years, that love and interest has remained steadfast. About forty years ago she united with the M. E. church at Putnamville, and though she has been denied the privilege of attending public worship. she never lost faith in God or interest in his service and began each day of her life with hearing some religious service over the radio. In health she was a very efficient cook and housekeeper and was deeply interested in her home. She had been greatly afflicted for many years, but for the last two months had been unable to lie down, yet she met her affliction as she had met every trial which had come up in her life, with a marked patience and cheerfulness that was unsurpassed. She leaves to mourn her going the devoted husband who has stood by her for over 55 years and has ministered unto her so patiently through all these years of affliction; the one sister, the nephew who is a teacher in high school at Auburn, Ind., a number of other nieces and nephews and a great number of friends. The curtains are drawn In this house of clay, The tenant has gone She has moved away. Her life was long, Its radiance spread. Long ere she passed on, For she is not dead.

CARD OF THANKS We wish express our sincere thanks to the neighbors and friends, the minister, Rev. Raphael, the undertaker, Mr. Rector, the singers, the pall bearers for the beautiful flo-al offerings and to all who assisted in any way during the sickness and death of our dear wife and aunt, and we want to especially thank Mrs. Belle Brown who ministered unto her so lovingly and tenderly Alfred F. Cooper Frank W. Weathers, Mrs. Adella Day.

HISTORY OF ROAD 30 (Continued From Page One) September, 1858. Most of the grading in Indiana was done between Groveland and Montezuma, Parke county. The line ran east and west through the former main street of Groveland and numerous cuts and fills cf the old work are still visible between there and Bainbridge. A deep cut is still in existence on the north end of my father’s old farm, a mile and a quarter east of Bainbridge. The work was done mainly by Irishmen with shovels and wheelbarrows. They had a village on a level tract just south of this cut and when a boy I often hoed or plowed up pieces of broken dishes and other evidences of their occupancy. In 1880 a new railway, first known as the Indianapolis. Decatur & Western, was projected and completed about eight miles north of the old abandoned line. This runs through North Salem and Roachdale, was afterwards known as the Cincinnati. Indianapolis & Western, and now belongs to the Baltimore & Ohio sys-

tem.

The new concrete bridge across Walnut creek on road 36 is located at almost the exact point where the old railroad was planned to cross the j creek. The railway, however, expected to build a bridge from bluff to bluff whereas the engineers of Road 36 I cut down the bluff on the north side ! of the creek to that of the level of the new bridge, and on the south side filled in the mouth of a small creek valley and up this valley continued the road in a westerly direction to its merging with the western end of the abandoned section. The present town of Groveland was non-existent before the I. & I. C. railroad was projected. It lies in section 2 of Floyd township, twelve miles northeast of Grecncasj tie, and thirty miles west of Indiana- ' polis, and was laid out and platted I by D. T. and Frank Summers on March 18, 1854. About 1830 a Protestant. Methodist, church was •organized by the Rev. Harvey Callings and a log church was soon erected on the present site of the Groveland cemetery. This v/as known as the Pleasant Grove church. When the town was platted this log church was abandoned and a new frani" one built on ttie town plat on the north side of Road T!6. In 1828 a Cumberland Presbyterian church I was organized by Cornelius Summers, father of the platters of the town. This organization was without a church building until Groveland was platted, when they built a new frame church within its bounds About two miles west of Crovelan I on the now abandoned section of the road, the Baptists had, in 1827. built ja church which they called Palestine. These three churches were, and are yet, the only ones in Floyd township

along road 36 between the Hem .ricks county line and Bainbridge There are three cemeteries along the same section of 36. These are yet in use. In the oi.e. a third of a mile west of Groveland, where the new section of 36 starts, my grandparents, my father and mother and brothers and sisters are buried. Many of my boyhood friends are also interred there. The second one is at Palestine church and the third one just east of Bainbridge. In both of these many friends of my later years lie buried. Much had been expected of the new railway by the platters of the town. D. T. Burners had built a large two story railway station, part of which he occupied for a time as a store. After the railway was abandoned the town grew but slowly. A community postoffice had been established in 1832. * The population in 1860 is not given in the United States census reports, but in 1870 is given as sixty-seven. At the present tlniq there are only about thirty
