home, two miles east of this place. The
funeral services will be held on Friday.
Alexander c. Stevenson was born in No
vember, 1902, in Woodford county, Ken
lucky. He had a splendid physical train
ing in his youth. The educational facilities
of his native place were limited, and believ-
ing that slavery had much to do with the
latter, at the age of nineteen, he came tOln-
diana and settled in Parke county. After
ward he returned to Kentucky, to study
medicine, and completed a course in the
Pennsylvania Medical College, at Lexing
ton. and for "a short time practiced medicine
in that State. Upon his return he estab-
lished an Office in Greencastle. He rapidly
rose to distinction in his profession. Hispar-
ents also removed to Putnam county, bring
ing with them their former slaves, who were
given liberty by DR.. Stevenson. They re-
manned in Putnam until after the adoption
of the Constitution of 1850, when, thinking
1T would restrain their liberty, he aided
them to get home in Liberia:
DIR. Stevenson was a believer in total
abstinence, and that moral suasion was
the remedy for intemperance. and he deliv-
cred the first temperance lecture in Putnam
county, undeterred by the storm of derisiOn
and hostility which it excited He was an
important cO-wOrker in securing Asbury
University for Greencastle, and he was also
influential in other educational matters. In
1881 - -444-l5 he represented Putnam county
in the Legislature, and he was State SEN
ator in 1889 -40-il. In 1876 the Wings n0mi-
mated him for Lieutenant-gOvernor, and in
1850 he was elected member of the cOnven-
ton which framed the present Constitution
of Indiana. Earnestly opposing the COM
promise measures of 1850, he would never
again consent to serve as candidate, but
in 1860 he advocated the election OfLincoln.
In 1913 he removed to his home two miles
east of Greencastle, where his death Oc-
Cured. Through his efforts the Putnam
County Agricultural Society was estab-
lished, and he was the first to introduce
merino sheep and ShOrt-horn cattle in the
county. In 1877 he was appointed mem
Der of the State Board of Agriculture, and
for three years he was the president of the
board. In all matters tending to improve
and benefit farm life he always bore prom
inent part. In 1880 DIR. Stevenson divided
his estate among his twelve children, Civ
ing to each an equal share.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, IAN. 2.-Monday morn
ing Mayor Russell fined S. M. Coffman,
proprietor of the Daily Argus-News, $10
with costs of $26, for publishing the Louisi-
ana lottery advertisement, in a certain is
sue of the paper last May. 1t also was as
certained i'm this trial that Mr.. COffman was
sole proprietor of the paper now, w. f..
Rosebro having disposed of his interest to
COffman year ago. Coffman at once gave
his check for $50. Within two hours an
other like charge had been entered against
Mr.. COffman, before Judge ChumerasO,
and after trial to-day the Judge
took the matter under advisement.
From the present outlook it seems that a
case against COffman is to be filed for every
issue of the paper containing. said adver-
tisement. If such proves to be the case,
and each fine and costs averages $50, the
total sum will be about $4,000. The adver-
tisement has appeared twice week for
about seven months.

We in Milford are still alive although
we were not represented in the columns
of the Review for the past six or seven
weeks. We of course have no excuse
for this neglect, but simply trust to the
patience and fofbearance of the editor
and publishers and simply ask their
pardon. We still enjoy fine winter
weather and in consequence of the re-
cent Snow sleighing is just splendid.
Farmers are discouraged on account
Of the low price of wheat. We are in
formed that quite a large percentage of
the wheat which was stacked while not
quite dry is not marketable, and the
buyers positively refuse to take it.
We understand that our postmaster,
Mr.. ,JDhn Essig, has resigned. No wonder
if he has, if a man in that official capa-
city can't clear enough in three months
to pay for the acknowledgement Of his

Now and then we hear rumers regard

the question how to raise the necessary
funds to complete the new court house
at New I1lm) for the question whether
it is to be built or not is virtually settled
and therefor needs no further consider
alton. Some people seem to be of the
opinion that if left to the people Of the
county to vote upon whether the re-
quired funds shall be raised by issuing
bonds, a majority would vote against
the measure and thus prevent the COM
pletion of the structure. Ia this, if we
understand the question, they are badly
| mistaken, the structure will be CONF
pleted under any circumstances and if
the funds cannot be raised by the issu-
ing of bonds they Will have 10 be raised
| by direct taxation and thus the tax pays
ers of the county would have to raise
the money in in q few years which will
| be quite burden to them. Therefor the
citizens OF the county one and all can
do no better than vote in favor of issu-
ing bonds in case it is left to them to
decide.
