(Clippings from The Banner Files) (18701 "Our fellow-citizen. Finis McLean, is fond of choice breeds of poultry, especially those of the fighting kind. Among his collection, there was a rooster famous for his prowess on the battlefield, which, after having whipped everything else, made an assault the other day on Mrs. McLean, striking her on left temple and with such force as to leave his spur sticking in the wound. The services of a shotgun were at once brought into requisition and the career of that warrior suddenly terminated in a sea of blood and feathers.” [Finis McLean was the father of Ewing McLean, who is now living a retired life in the McMahan home on north Jackson street in Greencastle. ]

The Banner’s Big Lie It is not often that a newspapei man has to lie about anything, but if he does, he is so ashamed of himself that he tries to keep the thing quiet, and usually does. Yet the editor of the Banner forty-two years ago, not only told a big lie but he published it in his newspaper and pointed to it pridefully, as an unmatchable achievement—and it was. The paper stated, in 1895: "A large log chain is being offered for the prize at the annual lying contest at VanFossen’s blacksmith shop at Limedale, July 4. John Hillis and John Brandon are practicing for the event, four hours daily.” And then the Banner man submitted his offering: “There have been many cases where fish have been caught in whose capacious maws were found long-missing rings, necklaces, baseball masks, and such trifles. Once in a great while a fish is stricken by its conscience into making restitution. Such a fish was the great catfish whicji lay watching the shores of a stream through the month of April. Many fishermen tried to land him but he contemptuously spurned the most tempting lures until a tall man of striking personality came one day. “The big cat at once leaped from the water and fell at his feet. The tall man was astounded. On cutting upon the fish’s stomach he discovered a gold chain which he had lost a year before. Most wonderful of all. there were sixty copper cents, one year's legal interest, which the noble fish had yielded up its life in trying to pay.” The only way which occurs to us by which the editor of the Banner of that day could have made his lie bigger and better would have been for him to have said he himself was the "tail man of striking personality,” and that he a newspaper man— once had a gold chain in his possession. That would have made the story just perfect, we think.

Our Revolutionary Soldiers (1869) From an article entitled, “A History of Greencastle,” by John S. Jennings. "I came to Greencastle on November 1, 1826 ... At that period we had a state militia law, and during the fall of each year, the Putnam county regiment would meet at Greencastle for general muster. On these occasions every man and boy in the county would be present. A number of soldiers of the war of 1812 were then living in the county and they would always be present. We had also several Revolutionary war soldiers who attended these yearly musters and it seemed to afford them much enjoyment. It was a great treat to sit down and listen to them. Will Cornell, who had been fife major in the regular aimy in New York for seven years, would bring his old fife to these musters and would play Yankee Doodle and other airs for hours to the delight of the boys who would gather around him. We would also meet at these musters John A. Miller, Peter Stoner, John Walls. Mr. Burlingame, Mr. Cunningham. Mr. Routen, Mr. Slavens, Mr. Hall and Robert Whitehead. A!! the persons I have mentioned were Revolutionary pensioners and Mr. Whitehead was the last in the county. ” Cappy Stoner's Red Flannels If this word picture of Cappy Stoner. known happily among his friends of today as the first assistant postmaster general of the Greencastle postoffice, had been painted by anyFEMININE WEAKNESS
larticipateil as a representative of ' he Black school, and Ben King, also if the Greencastle postal force, appeared as a champion of Madison Center. “We started in a wagon for the :ontest,” Cappy said. "I wore my boots with straps, a red star in the 'ront and copper toes. I had on red lannel underwear, wore ear muffs, a ap, a yarn muffler, jeans trousers ind coat my best Sunday outfit. "The boys and girls had been gong down pretty fast and all but me ’ml Ben King were off the floor. For 1 while neither of us missed, but the eacher gave out ‘woolly.’ It was Ben’s turn, but he spelled it ‘wooly’ j ind had to sit down. There was only me other way it could be spelled, and 1 won the match, for the Black school.” John McCabe, now living in Clinton township, attended that school in an earlier day, also. In talking one ley of his experiences in that connection, he said: “John Brandon was a product of the Black school house who got to be a real expert in spelling. He made it his hobby and he would study the spelling books to learn new hard words. John once got into a match at the old Brown schol house and he and others were on the floor nearly all night. They just couldn’t miss.” STUDIO PLANS EXHIBIT (Continued From I’iikp One) sion at Nashville, Tenn., "The Aristocrat of Darktown," 1st state premium winner in 1936. and "The Patriarch of the Forest,” a study of tree roots which was taken near Cloverdale. The latter picture won the Indiana State award of the American Forestry Association in Washington, D. C., in 1934. Mr. Cammack has been exhibiting some of bis best studies for a number of years and has won many award! fer his fine work, several of his pictures having gained nation-wide applause and are being exhibited from coast to coast. His next public exhibition is being scheduled for the month of April , when several pictures of his collection I will be shown at the Lyman Brothels’ fireside exhibit in the parlors of that establishment on the Circle in Indianapolis, near the Circle theatre. _ LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE CONTINUES INVESTIGATION INDIANAPOLIS, March 8, (UP) A legislative committee investigating a physical attack on Wayne Coy, state welfare director, and alleged lobbying by intimidation, delved deeper into Marion county Democratic politics today.
