Coatesviue News by Joe Davidson, Conespondent

Tuesday morning Mr. and ICra. Herbert Brown left home fqpr a week’s visit with his brother, Mr. Truitt Brown and wife in Brownsville, Texas. The Browns left Indianapolis by Delta to Memphis, and from there by jet to Dallas. A small plan* took them from Dallas to their destination. Mr. Claude Duncan of Reno was dismissed from the Putnam County Hospital Friday. Claude la better than he was before the hospital care, but continues ill from a nervous stomach. One of the happy things to report from Coatesville was the wanner weather that moved in Monday, Jan. 31. May it continue indefinitely. It didn’t. It’s now Tuesday and look what happened. Mrs. Eva McNary, who has been a patient for several weeks at the Ruark Nursing Home had a fall Monday evening that resulted in a broken left wrist. Her sen, Artie, brought her to Dr. EUett’s office where the broken member was put into a east. This will have to be worn

for the next six or eight weeks. Mrs. Bill Jamison and daughter Connie drove to Terre Haute Monday. Connie is starting second semester classes at Indiana State University. Several years ago when I was a teacher in the Fillmore High School and rode the interurban cars each way, I met each day a father and son at the Fillmore station. The father was Jim Ferrand, file son was Clarence. Only at widely separated intervals have I had contact with Clarence since then. As a boy growing up, his chief interest was business. The notice in the Banner of his death brought to mind a friendship established long ago under happy circumstances. This Coatesville Column says “Congratulations” to the Cannon Store on its 75th Anniversary. We have known the Cannons and clerks for many a day and have appreciated their goods snd the sincere friendliness that went along with the merchandise. Do “Banner” readers remem-

be* the poem ei James WMt-1 comb Riley, telling the story of the pioneer boy who had to chop wood for a big, old fireplace. Here are his views an. Ground Hog Day: Nothin’ ever made me madder Than f er Pa to stomp in, layin’ On an extry forestick, sayin* “Ground hog’s out and seed his shadder." To this boy it meant six more weeks of wood chopptag. Mr. Albert Pfister was in the Putnam County Hospital a couple of days this week for treatments. Friday morning a blue car that looked quite new was seen stranded in a field on the east side of R75 at High Bridge, north east of town. The car had evidently been traveling south at high speed and after crossing the overpass it either skidded or toiled to negotiate the sharp curve that starts at the south end of the bridge. It had gone down a steep 15 foot embankment, through a wire fence and came to a stop several yards from the road. The only report that could be had on inquiries was that the car belonged to a Plainfield man who suffered no severe injuries in the mishap. A few hours later the car was

moved.

One of the toughest teams of the season was met when Cascade’s Cadets took the floor Friday night at Mooresville. The Pioneers have played nifty ball since the season started and they continued to play it against the Cascade squad. They led 18-10 at the end of the first quarter and 32-25 at half-time. During the third frame the roof fell in on the Cadets as they scored but six points to Mooresville’s 20. The last quarter saw both teams playing almost even-Steven ball. The final score was Mooresville 77, Cascade 52. Neeley was high man for the Cadets with 15 points. The Pioneers had five men in double figures, Archer with 17. Abraham Lincoln saw the light of day February 12, 1809. Lord Charnwood in his “Life of Lincoln” states that when tha “tall rail-splitter” was once asked to tell something of his early life, his reply was that a line of Gray’s Elegy had told it all: “The short and simple annals of the poor.” Lincoln loved a good story and Iqved to tell one. When he was asked one time during a discussion in a backwoods store how long a man’s legs should be, his reply was that they should be long enough to reach from his body to the ground. Lincoln was a shrewd lawyer, a self-taught writer, a straight and positive thinker, a man slow to anger and one with an understanding heart. Wa the people, today, recall his saying: “A government of the people, for the people, and by the people shall not perish from the earth.” The Cadets of Cascade High, anxious since the beginning of the new year to achieve a victory, drove to Van Buren near Brazil Saturday night. If anyone expected the host team to be charitable he was mistaken. The Clay County boys wanted the victory to be a strictly home owned one and it was. Cascade was defeated 75-62. Coming up Friday, February 11, is the last “at home” game for the Cadets. They will be host to Plainfield. All Cascade fans are looking forward to thin home encounter.

m Tea acres and a mule was an #% American phrase indicating the expectations of emancipated slaves,” a dicfionary at quotations confirm*. Ownership of a mule was an expectation More commonly fulfilled in 1865 than acat iswd. With demobilization of Onion armies, numbers of mules collected for Mppty-wagon. artillery, ambulance and ether- military nas were distributed in the Starts of the Freedmen’s Bureau to make H*ih ipatrrt families self-sufficient. Some got away from army hostlers and were ibenrtnmil to takers, or were acquired by

barter of labor or chattels. The distinctive Southern type of mule derivitive of Gen. George Washington’s crossing at Mount Vernon of both Spanish and Maltese mule-stock with horses, spread with Southemera throughout the West in place of the nailer Spanish variety. Perhaps no one ever loved n mule aa he did a dog or horse, bat many who had formed acquaintanceship with the army mule 1861-65 respected the qualifies of the cantankerous animal. The ok gave way to the mule everywhere after 1865, and was in more numerous use then the horse • in postern stagelines, freighters, mines, construction crews. Laterday residents of a Texas town named Mule Shoe raised funds for a bronze memorial to the ■whwnin that contributed ao substantially to the winning of the West. CLARK KINXA1RD

seems to be a tough one these days for several Hendricks County teams. It looks like they are getting more than their share of bumps. Hie past week witnessed the defeat of the following squads, by outside the county teams: Avon, Brownsburg, Cascade, Pittsboro, North Salem and Danville. There was no report to be found on Lizton or Plainfield. Hendricks County fans hope for a better report come next week.
