John c. ConIey, Pioneer of Wayne
County, Now Living in Florida
With His Daughter.

John J. Conley, a pioneer of Wayne
county, now residing with his daugh-
ter at Chipley, Fla, writes to his son
Aaron Coaley of South Ninth street,
that he is enjoying the best of health
and enjoying life in the sunny south.
He says that they have had beauti-
full winter there, the coolest weather
being twenty-eight above zero. The
first killing frost was on the fourth of
December. Mr. Conley writes that
he made quite a lot of garden last
week, planting sweet corn, pop
muskmelons, watermelons, peas and
beans of all kinds, potatoes, toma-
toes and a general assortment of gar
den stuff Mr.. Conley was born one
mile west of the village of Boston in
Indiana Territory, in the year 1912.

BIG SHIPMENTS

RAILROADS DO NOT LOSE BE.
CAUSE THEY FAILED TO
LOWER GRAIN RATE.

LAKE COMPETITION EASY
Steamers Have Been Slow in Getting
Started During Winter and Their
Trade Has Fallen OF.

Despite the fact that the railroads
voted against lowering the rate on
grain from the Central States to the
seabord, shipments continue steadily
and no loss is expected by the roads
on account of lake competition.
1t has always been customary in
the past to drop the rate on grain in
the spring, so that the steam roads
can meet the cheap price of the lake
steamers, but this year, the steamers
were late getting started and as much
of the grain had been hauled through
the winter, it was not thought neces-
sary to enter into competition with
the lake transportation companies.
At present, the rate on a hundred
pounds of grain from Chicago, or the
central states, to New York, or other
points along the coast, for export
trade, is 1874 cents. The lake
steamers charge II to II cents for
carrying the same weight of grain.
For domestic trade, the rate is about
four cents higher on both the rail
road and steamer lines.
Much of the Chicago-New York
grain is hauled through this city, via
the Richmond Division, although the
majority of it goes by way of Fort
Wayne, or Bradford, Ohio. st. louis
grain, shipped on the Pennsylvania
lines, comes through Richmond.

of Greensboro was overruled yester-
day in the Wayne Circuit Court. and
Attorney Rupe, for A. NJ. Harris, i'm

would be appealed.
The incorporation of Greensboro
has caused much litigation and it is
evident that the case will be fought
to finish. Several weeks ago, when
the case first came up for trial, the
corporation was victorious. The suit
came up through the wish of the in
corporators to include certain land in
the town limits. This land belongs to
Alonzo M. Harris, and he objected on
the ground that it is farm land.

White, with the consent of his fell

both of them.
The police question is settled and
the treaty to be drawn will provide
for the appointment of an inspector
to have charge of the internal en-
forcement of law in Morocco and the
protection of foreigners by the inter
ested powers. He is to report both to
the Sultan of Morocco and the mem

Ball Park is Still on.

For the past few weeks the base
ball committee of the Eagle Aerie has
been negotiating for the Athletic
Park, just south of Glen Miller, which
they wish to use as a base ball park
for the independent team the aerie in
tends to put in the field this season.
Up to the present time no deal has
been completed, but it is expected to
be closed by the last of this week. If
the Eagles are unsuccessful in sccur-
ing Athletic Park en- effort will be
made to locate a ball park in the new
Beallview addition. This park would
be only one square south of the street
car line and the street car company
would probably build an addition Of
the line up to the park. This site
would be an ideal place for a ball
park in the opinion of local baseball
fans.

Marital Ties.
Marital Ties.

Vermilllon. Jan. l6.-Divcrce pro-
ceedings have been filed with the
clerk of Clay county by Jessamine
Lee Fox, asking for a separation
from her husband, Marion l.. Fox,
on the ground of non-support. The
papers were served on Mr.. Fox at
Columbus, Ohio, by Congressman
John j. Lentz at the request of Mrs.
Fox's attorneys, Gunderson & Gund-
erson, of this city. 1t is not believed
that the husband viii enter any OBJ

OF time until the wife sec Tres a de-

Owing to the prominence of these
two young people throughout the
state. and the fact that the wife is
the daughter of Ex-Governor a. e.
Lee, one OF the wealthiest men in
the state, the divorce proceedings
produce more than a mere local in
teTest. After five years Of married
life, during which time Mrs. Fox
has made her home with her parents
in this city, the young people have
agreed to disagree, and the wife
brings suit for divorce on the ground
that Marion L. Fox has failed to pro-
vide for her.
The proceedings Just Instituted r
no surprise to the people of this COM
munity, although they must cause
considerable comment outside, where
it is not generally known that Mr..
and Mrs. Fox have been e%stranged
for y year or more. A year ago next
month Mr.. Fox left this city and
has not been here since. 1t was not
known at that time that it was all
over between himself and wife, but
as month after month went by and.
he continued to remain away. the
wife in tie meantime remaining with
her parents, the report gained circu-
|latiOn that a reckoning between the
two was about to follow. Just what
their differences are no n seem to
know. but back of the charge Of non
support there may be other things
that caused the wife to take the
step that she now has. 1t is not the
general belief here that failure to
provide a living for the household
was the only stumbling block in the
way Of a happy married life.
