Wayne's Staid Little Neighbor
Is Voting on Booze
Question Today.
POLITICIANS VS.. "DRys'
COUNTY STIRRED UP TO EVEN
GREATER INTEREST THAN WAS
SHOWN LAST FALL At THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Brookville, Ind, May 22.-Franklin
county is in greater suspense con-
corning today's local option election
than was indicated in the last presi-
Dental contest, and forecast as to
the result is as uncertain as the horo-
scope of a Chinese juggler. The
"wets' say they will win by 500 ma
jority, while the "drys' exactly reverse
these figures. A careful examination
of the conditions would indicate 400
to 500 wet The "drysr have car
ried large list Of speakers and have
been particularly active.
The Franklin County Business
Mems association appointed executive
and press committees. and has carried
on close campaign without publicity
while both newspaper and circular ar
gument has been used freely. This
organization is independent of that
of the forty-three saloon keepers and
their employees and assistants.
All the saloons in the county closed
front and back doors at + o'clock last
evening. to remain shut until Monday
Politicians Favor the "Wets."
Both sides appear confident. but the
fact that nearly all the successful poll
| ticians of the county are with the
VETS would seem to give their claims
greater credence.
Three townships are now dry by
remonstrance which closed eight sa-
looms. Six weeks ago the county would
have gone dry by a handsome ma,
jority owing in part to general apathy
The campaign has effectively removed
this.
Soaking rains Thursday and yester-
day morning preclude all farm work,
and the reports telephoned the leaders
would indicate that the vote OF last
November will be surpassed.
Franklin county is unlike any other
in Indiana in its conservatism There
are many who cling to past ideals and
are hard to start on new lines. The
personal bitterness which has grown
out of the contest is intense, and will
be permanent.
The temperance women have Q
strong Organization. and today are
serving refreshments at the polls. Both
sides are making strenuous efforts tc
prevent personal settlement OF i'll
| feeling at least until after the polls are
| closed.

pointed his finger at fish that pleased

the fish up to put it on the scale.
The moment he picked 1t up the fish
began to wriggle and the next mo-

As the dsh went down the customer

Helps the Poor Save Money.

Through the efforts OF the Rev

bank accounts are in operation in

eighteen months of her service Sl4,-

melted away in foolish expenditure.

the savings collector, who makes
weekly rounds, gets there before the

amount from five cents upward,

because they couldn't brave the

Snap Picked up Cheap.

This week c. c. Hawkins and
VIM. Wootton purchased the X.
Z. Love place for a consideration
OF S34. 400 This place is a fine
one consisting of 123 acres and
the purchase price includes all
the machinery and stock. Mr..
Love was doubtless impelled to
sell by his failing health. The
property is nearly straight apple
proposition. having 20 acres in
apples and only FIVE in peaches.
Ten acres are in alfalfa and the
ordinary family orchard OF small
stuff. Only % acres of the apples
are in what might be called full
bearing. the balance being SIX
years old AID younger.
AS an example of what may be
done with a property of this sort
we might state that the prospec-
tive apple crop for this year is
twelve to fifteen thousand boxes
and the probable peach crop SIX
thousand boxes. THIS with ap-
plies netting sl.00 and peaches so
cents, the usual average, will
make this place earn $4,000 this
year or nearly halt the purchase
price.
Considering these things and
also that the buyers are as well
posted men as can be found in
the valley we think justifies the
head we have placed over this
article.
We congratulate the buyers on
their bargain.

Nep is four years old, but is
two feet, seven inches in height,
and weighs two hundred and fifty
pounds. He has no difficulty in
carrying the sack, though the
mail is often very heavy with the
weekly papers from the county
seat. for his teeth are strong and
he has carried over one hundred
pounds as test of his strength.
He seems likely to perform the
semi-official task for many years
to come, and the people of his
