Old Market Corner At One
Time Was the Center of
Business Activity in the
Village of Richmond.

Have you ever noticed the number
tiers at the corner of Sixth and Main
streets, who fill the public hitch racks
with their teams and who cause the
merchants in that vicinity no excuse
for complaining that business is dull?
This is one Of the busiest corners on
every Saturday afternoon. Farmers
bring butter, eggs, chickens and other
produce for disposal to the dealers and
in turn take their pay, in great many
cases, in trade for groceries and other
necessities.
Much opposition was raised by the
city officials to the farmers hitching
their horses at this corner as it was
said that it caused much conges-
ton of traffic for the wagons and bug
gies extended fully a third of the way
across the street, but it seems that the
objections have been overcome.
Old Market Center.
This has been the old market cor
ner and the center of business activity
since the first settler came here for
the purpose of establishing a trading
post. 1t is used to be general COM
modify exchange and here the settlers
would bring their surplus produce and
barter for an article of which they did
not have a plentiful supply. In the
early days of Richmond, what is now
South Sixth street, was known then as
Marion street and the farmers would
bring their loads of wood to town for
disposal and the line of wagons of
wood sometimes extend south as far
as where South A street is now. The
sticks of wood were cut in lengths

MANY PRISONERS
VIOLATE PAROLES
Out of Every 100 ParOled
Only 81 Fulfil Obliga-
tons.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 19.-Out of
every one hundred prisoners paroled
under the Indiana indeterminate SEN
tence law from the three state penal
institutions, f1fty-seven fulfill their pa
role obligations. twenty-six violate
their paroles, two die, six are auto
matically discharged through expira-
ton of sentence, and the other nine
are under supervision at a given time,
according to statistics just made pub
lie by the state board of charities,
and covering the sixteen years since
the law was enacted.
The indeterminate sentence fixes
the minimum and maximum terms of
Imprisonment prescribed by the stat
ute for prescribed crimes, and the pa
role boards of the state institutions
paroles and in withdrawing paroled
prisoners from liberty
At the state prison approximately
26 per cent are parole prisoners; at
the reformatory Is per cent, and at
the woman's prison % per cent are
paroled.
An immense saving of expense is
accomplished through the paroling OF
prisoners who Immediately become
selfsupporting, whereas the average
cost of keeping a person in prison is
$172 per year.
A striking feature OF the report
shows that the percentage of women
who violate their paroles is practical
ly the same as in the case of men.
Paroled prisoners are entitled to
retain all their earnings for their own
use while at liberty.

Corner of Main and Sixth Street,
Still Called warmers EXCHANGE

Of four feet and the cords usually
were measured, before sold, by some
person of authority who received 10
cents per cord for measuring.
On marketing days or when all bus
mess was transacted, the settlers
would often stand around and tell all
the latest happenings. no matter how
trivial, for news in those days was a
luxury as there were no newspapers
and circulation of events went very
slowly. Every scrap of gossip was
eagerly listened to and the farmer in
turn carried it back to his family.
Many Fights.
Often disputes would arise and
would end up in fistic encounters
when the marshal would then have the
pleasure of showing his authority by
taking the peace disturbers in Gus
tody.
AS the trading post grew to a town
and that in turn to city, new bust
ness houses were established farther
east, drawing many farmers away
from the old corner but with the gro
Gerry, dry goods, drug and department
stores, along with the market house
and numerous livery barns, located
near at hand, many farmers still do
their trading there and it has been
termed the Farmers Exchange"
