SECTION TWO

Along Main Street By GEORGIA BUSTER Speaking of Main street, west Main is being painted and remodeled. Mr, Whiteman is building a garage next to house and Everett Ketering is remodeling the western part of a duplex, and the Church of the Brethren was recently painted, It’s a pretty street, if I do say so myself. It s sorghum time in Brown county and the mills are in operation. Have you ever eaten fresh sorghum with melted butter on hot biscuits? If not you are missing something! On our trip last Sunday we noticed the leaves are turning and falling fast, more so the further south one travels. It has been very dry in Indiana and of. course southern Indiana is working tobacco now. It will soon be hung to dry and then to the large tobacco warehouses for auction. The car in front of us near Richmond had a pair of Texas long horns tied on the back of it. Hope it didn’t hit that steer. Newspapers have come a long way since the first daily appeared in America Sept. 21, 1784. It was published in Philadelphia. And the news has been real newsy lately.’ First there were four (quadruplets), then there were five (quintuplets). Lewis Garrison, one of the senior citizens of Syracuse, was in to renew his subscription the other day. Lewie knows all my kinfolks hereabouts and we had a nice chat. Lewie spends the winter at the Soldiers’ Home at Lafayette and summers in Syracuse. Wonder how many of .you remember when the “grown-ups” used to dress up and go ojut on Halloween ? It was fun for them but I remember the children had to stay at home. I heard a little owl hooting the other evening. He was just off Main street. By spring there will be a lot of changes along Main street - up town, a new bridge on west Main and the dam completed at the park. I had quite a scare on Friday morning, a noise below my window awakened me and like the Christmas poem “I flew to the window” and looked out and there was the town’s street sweeper at 5:45 a. m. It was on its way and I went back to bed. Riley Home To Be Historic Landmark The Indianapolis home of James Whitcomb Riley, where the famed Hoosier poet lived for the last 35 years of his life, will be designated as a National Historic Landmark on Monday, Oct. 7, in ceremonies on the lawn of the Victorian brock residence at 528 Lockerbie street. The public is invited to attend. Ronald F. Lee, Philadelphia, regional director of the National Park Service, will be in Indianapolis to present to Perry W. Lesh, president of the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association, a bronze tablet and certificate stating that the home has “exctpeional value in commemorating and illustrating the history of the United States.” The home was built in 1872, has solid brick walls, a stone foundation and slate roof, and Italian and Vermont marble fireplaces. Woodwork is hand-carved, solid hardwood; it has wall-to-wall carpeting with borders, many of its ceilings are artist decorated and a crystal chandelier in the drawing room was made in France in 1847. Last year 6,599 persons from 46 states and 10 foreign countries registered and visited the home.
