HOUSE BURNS

Fire of unknown origin COM
pletely destroyed the handsome
two story frame residence own
ed by Mr.. Henry Watson on
Richmond avenue, Friday night.
Mr.. E. L. Fassett and family
who occupied the house, were at
the circus and knew nothing
about the fire until after the
show. Neighbors succeeded in
saving considerable furniture,
etc., but Mr.. Fassett's loss will
amount to several hundred dol
lars. The house was covered by
insurance.
Mr.. Fassett and family have
rented the Mrs. Lou Barnes

Mr.. Chas. B. Fizer, of this
city, Monday, May 4th celebrat-
ed his 18th birthday. Mr.. Fizer
has been resident of the city
for many, many years and is

ANOTHER HUNG JURY.

After consuming several days
in the hearing Of testimony and
arguments of counsel, the jury
in the case of w. +. Fitzpatrick
on motion to be adjudged COM
petent to manage his large bus
mess interests, again disagreed,
this time standing eight to four
against Mr.. Fitzpatrick. This
was quite surprise as there is
strong public sentiment in Mr..
Fitzpatrick's behalf.
MI. "A. S. Hart, who has been
acting for some time as his Com
mittee, rendered his resign alton,
because of pressing personal
business interests, and Mr.. A. l..
Upton, one of our most highly
respected farmers; was chosen
to succeed him. The case will
again be called for trial on the
second Monday in September
next.

LOOK OUT AUTO OWNERS

Last Sunday Mr.. w. A. SUIT
ton, OF this city, with his family,
was motoring to Winchester,
and upon approaching the COW
cred bridge known as SINNERS
bridge, in Clark county, noticed
another machine stopped in the
road and stopped to inquire if
he could be of any assistance
and was told by the owner that
he had picked up a couple of
tacks in the road, upon investi-
cation they found that tacks had
been placed entirely across the
road by some miscreant. This
is not the first time this has
been done, as auto owners COM
planned about this a great deal
last year. 1t is hoped that the
officers of Clark county viii in
vestigate this matter. The tacks
have always been found near
the bridge above referred to.
We are at a loss to under
stand why anyone should wish
to deliberately destroy another's
property and hope the party or
parties are caught and punished.

MAKES GOOD
IN new HOME
Former Mt. Sterling Girl Max
ing Great Success in Large
Ohio City.

The following article clipped
from the Dayton Daily News
will be of interest to many reo-
pie here. Mrs. Greenwood be-
fore her marriage was Miss Mel
lie Tatom and made her home in
this city. She was left penniless
when quite child but through
the goodness of several citizens
here was enabled to complete
her education and, although a
good student and industrious
scholar, was failure as teach
err. She possessed more than
one woman's share of courage
however, and determined to sue
coed, and how well she has sue
ceeded in her chosen profession,
the following article will tell.
She has many friends here who
will read this article with inter-
est and who will be glad to know
she is doing so well.
"Luck may figure in it to a
considerable extent, but I'm in
clined to think it's because l
studied situations carefully, and
have done a lot of hard work,
day and night replied Nellie M.
Greenwood of o27 Reibold build
ing, when asked by News ie-
preventative to what she attrl-
butes her decided success in real
estate transactions.
This young woman entered
the real estate business in 1906
for herself, without capital, pur-
chasing her first lot at SIS down
and $I.oo per week, and there
after so manipulating affairs to
the end that she has construct
ed many houses in this city,
now occupied with satisfied Gus
toners. The sixth sense in
business, which in her case has
spelled segacity in choosing To-
cations which shortly thereafter
double and triple in value, has
been an appreciable factor in her
success.
She buys her own materials,
lumber, cement, plaster, etc, and
hires her own workmen. The
houses she puts up for prospec-
tive home buyers are usually of
the substanti al, modern type,
with six rooms and bath, equip
ped with electricity and other
conveniences, and she has no
trouble in disposing of all she
undertakes to build.
Mrs. Greenwood has operated
principally in the southeastern
part of the city, as well IS i'll
Edgemont, though buying real
es ate and building houses in
various other parts of Dayton.
She also built her own pretty
residence at 24I Audubon Park,
two-story pressed brick of at
tract've appearance, with garage
and all other necessary equip
ment. Her recent purchases in
clude new summer home with
eleven acres, north of the city,
2H miles from Little York,
from which she expects to derive
much pleasure this season.
Mrs. Greenwood came to Day
ton from Kentucky in 1901, and
is an ardent enthusiast in regard
to outdoor life and the simple,
natural pleasures which follow
in its wake. She devotes such |
time as she can snatch for rec
reation to music and also-un-
usual prediction for woman
kind 1.-The study of commercial
law, in which she is an adept"

These are all good runs, some of
them very fast. and the 81 days pas
sage from Norfolk to Honolulu, $4,000
miles, beats anything heard of in re-
cent years. although there are some
very fast ships under the French, Brit
ish and German flags, whose passages
are seldom reported on this side. But
the claim is set up that the perform
ances of the Erskine NJ. Phelps have
never been equalled, and that claim
will astOnish anyone who is at all &C.
quainted with the records of the IA
nous clippers that sailed under the
American flag in "the days before the
war" ..... ...t .:@~..g.
Those who believe that this world is
rushing too fast would be surprised to
learn from the records of some of the
famous clippers of New York and Bos-
ton and Baltimore that the steam
ships of the present are but shade
ahead of them in the matter of speed.
1t would not take long to count the
express steamers that can make more
than 20 knots an hour, while the ma
iority of the best are unable to main
tain more than 1S-except on paper.
Not few clipper ships logged as
high as Is and over.
Some Fast Ones Of the Sixties.
The log of the famous Dreadnaught
Of New York showed this speed sew
eral times during her remarkable pas
sage in 1865 from Sandy Hook to
Queenstown, a distance of 1850 miles,
n days and II hours. Eleven knots
each hour of the time.
The Flying Cloud of an earlier gen.
Grafton. on the authority of Maury,
IS credited with run in one day, from
noon to noon, of 1884, statute miles
There is no authentic record extant of
her performances prior to 1851, in
which she made the run referred to.
It was on a passage from New York to
San Francisco. covering a distance of
1850 miles and consuming, 80 days
and Is hours. Such passages make
the blood Jingle when the meaning is
understood.
Homeward or outward bound, it was
all the same, canvas anC more canvas
and all hands standing by. waiting for
something to part company. 1t may
have been reckless work, according to
the ideas of owners and masters of to-
day, but the thoroughbreds were built
for it. .s ..
The shippers of the clippers, be
sides the pride they had in their craft
to strive to be first. enjoyed substan.
tial inducements to run risks and take
every chance to make quick passage.
Owners held out prizes that were as
high in some instances as premium
of one pound sterling ton for the
first cargo of tea or of Australian
wool of the year landed in England.
There are but few lines that now offer
their captain more than a suit OF
