"The bodies of the pioneers must be fed, and to prepare the food required structures of a different kind. As early as the fall of 1821, James Trotter began the erection of a grist and saw mill on Walnut, just north of Greencastle, and completed it the following year. In the year 1822, also, Fiddler’s mill was built on Raccoon Creek, within the limits of Putnam County. Grimes’, Sutherlin’s, Swank’s, and Fasher’s were other pioneer mills of the county. Samuel Hazelett built the first mill put up on Deer Creek, in the eastern portion, about the year 1825 or 1826. About the same date, Mr. Hibbs built another mill on Deer Creek. John Reel, also, built a mill at a very early day where Reelsvillt now stands." "All these were water-mills of the tub-wheel pattern, but there was another kind of mill common in that day. It was the horse-mill. John Butcher erected the first one in the county, on the Hammond farm, north of Greencastle.” "John S. Jennings, Esq., put op the first cabinet shop, and had the honor of having constructed the first wheat fan made In Putnam County, and, perhaps, the first one west of White River. The fan was made entirely of wood, and It did service for the neighborhood for a number of years. It was the property of Ephraim Dukes. In the year 1826, Gen. John Sandeford moved to Greencastle and built a carding machine. The factory went into operation on July 4 of the same year. The cards and castings were made in Louisville, Ky., and were brought to Greencastle In a wagon. It was a horse-powered machine, of the old tread-wheel pattern, and was capable of turning out about one hundred and forty pounds of rolls per day. This was the only woolen factory in Putnam or adjoining counties, and it had all the work it could do, being without competition for a number of years. 'The women did the weaving in those days on hand looms. The first fly-shuttle in the county, and, in all probability,

the first between the Wabash and White Rivers, was invented and built by John Heavin in Montgomery County, Va., and brought by him to Putnam County in the year 1827. This loom was in good running order on a farm owned by the heirs of Abraham Ridpath in Marion Twp. (It may still be there.) The first tavern was kept by Jubal Deweese, in a log house that was afterward (in 1840) used for a post office. This house stood on the ground occupied by Edward Hanneman’s Opera House, and it was removed by him to make room for that building, being the first of the old log houses to disappear from the borders of the public square." *Tt will be of interest to glance at some matters of another nature which took place in the early days of the county’s history. The first marriage license shown by the records to have been issued, authorizing the marriage of persons resident within the county, was issued on July 4, 1822, to Thomas Jackson of Marion Township, and Sarah Woods; and the return thereto shows the partied to have been joined in matrimony on the fifteenth day of the same month by the Rev. Reuben Clearwaters. Only one other license was issued that year. It was to Andrew Astlinger and Sally Dukes. They, also, were married by Mr. Clearwaters." "The first white child born in Putnam County was Mary Jane McGaughey, on February 10, 1822. She died in the year 1842." "The first child born in Greencastle was Columbus D. Seller, son of John F. Seller, on the 11th of October, 1824. Mary Ann Glidewell, daughter of Robert Glidewell, was the first girl bom In the town." "Hie first death in the county occurred at Trotter’s mill. Mr. Dennis, the millwright, died there in the fall of 1821, and was buried on the hill in the woods just west of the mill. The first death in Greencastle was that of a stranger. The next who died there was Benjamin Akers. He was buried in the old cemetery, and his grave was the first in that place of rest.

May Review Last night’s performance of “The Miracle Worker” was a moving and thrilling experience. It is a powerful climax to the 1966 Summer Theater season of the Putnam County Playhouse. This story of a mother’s con- 1 suming love and her husband’s helpless indulgence and the menace they created through their ignorance of a handicapped daughter’s real need is impelling drama. For anyone unacquainted with this successful Broadway play which became an equal screen triumph, it is the struggle of a human life without eyes or hearing to communicate and become a person. The fact that this family lived in the 19th century and from this framework came one of the most outstanding and influential women of our time, Helen Keller, gives added significance to the play. Mrs. Keller’s smother love is sympathetically and gracefully shown by Nancy McFarland, and bellowing forth with forceful, striding conviction, John McFarland reveals Mr. Keller’s righteous wrath in the face of disappointing offspring and female assertion. The audience’s understanding and sympathetic identification with these two unfortunate people is a tribute to their art. Perhaps, the real life roles of Nancy and John as man and wife—and parents lends lively interest. The weakling son, actually molded by his father’s tyrannical ways and his own hospitality to his stepmother, is most ably played by David Robbins. We join Mr. Keller in our contempt for him, but our tendency to empathize with him in his dilemma can be laid at the door of David’s expert handling of the role. His study of bodily mechanics is the difference between a character of secondary importance and one inherent and important to the overall

plot.

—And Helen, by whom we are at first repulsed, is blind and deaf. She is—until her certain call. Young Kathy Madison who ia only 10 plays this tragic victim of disease with an understanding and skill that has taken many hours of offstage practice and playing of this uncivilized and undisciplined piece of humanity. Hiis is one of the most memorable roles of the 1966 summer season. The play is a declared war of two girls. They would have clashed even without the determination of the older as Helen’s teacher to conquer and tame even as she had been broken herself, and the continual conflict keeps the audience on edge and emotionally involved in every wild battle. Sue Nickerson Williams, Annie Sullivan, the half blind teacher, is a highly emotional young woman hounded by her own chamber of horrors and as fierce and self willed as her pupil’s father. She not only struggles with Helen but her world for the opportunity to save this child from herself and the eroding results of her family’s misdirected love. This skelton of the ‘‘Miracle Worker" is well supported by Ellen Reed, Albert Williams, Mary Francis Strain and William Alspaugh. The nine blind children and the two little playmates of Helen’s are roles tha’t add both sadness and joy. As the best actor of the evening, none will forget the McFarland’s dog. The sensitive handling of the play by its director, James Elrod, is not only evident in the actions but the imaginative set and lighting created by Char-

Make Sure to Notice What Doesn’t Happen By Alfred Shienwold As an experienced bridge player you pay a great deal of attention to what the opponents do. That’s very good, and you’re entitled to full credit for your alertness. You don’t get any medals, however, unless you also pay attention to 'what the opponents don’t do. West opened the ten of diamonds, and East won with the jack. East continued with the ace and king of diamonds, and thought for a moment or two. East then led the ace of hearts, followed by the four of hearts. South was relieved that East had not led the fourth diamond.

If for no other reason, the playgoer should not miss this fresh and suggestive handling of the many necessary scene changes in “The Miracle Worker." —And when you leave the theatre, you may appreciate again the importance of wisdom to love, for in the 1960’s many young people are almost as difficult as Helen t'' reach and many parents as blinded as Helen’s reaching them. Don’t miss it

About 650 guests were expected to attend the nuptial Mass. The wedding originally was set for last month, but had to be postponed when Miss Erickson was stricken with pneumonia. Robert, 22, and Donna, 21, were to be married by the Rev. Charles MacDonald, chaplain for the Newman Center at Mankato (Minn.) State College, the couple’s alma mater.

Senate Passes 2 Crime Bills WASHINGTON UPI — The Senate Friday passed two bills aimed to strengthen the government’s fight against crime. One mesure would grant immunity from prosecution to persons who testify and produce evidence which might be self-incriminating. The oth fr would protect witnesses from intimidation or injury prior to judicial proceedings. Both bills were approved by voice vote. Presently federal law prohibits attempts to influence, intimidate, impede or injure witnesses of jurors during judicial proceeding. The witnesses would also have to claim selfincrimination before the government could ask for a court order compelling him to testify-

What’s more, South waa suspicious. Why on earth had East refrained from leading the queen of diamonds? The more South thought about it the more it was clear that East knew that his partner could not over-ruff the dummy—and that East did not want South to have this information. In short, South came to the conclusion that East had all five of the missing trumps. DEEP FINESSE South therefore led a club to dummy’s king and returned a trump. East played low, hoping that South would take the first trump trick with a top trump. Instead, South won a finesse with the seven of trumps! South led a club to dummy’s ace and returned a club. East ruffed with the jack of spades, and South over-ruffed with the queen. Now South led a high heart and let East ruff. Declarer was then sure to make his contract with the rest of the spades.
