this should have been $l32.6O

informed, She's Democrat county,

Doesn't Look Part
Sheriff New afforded US quite
shock, looking so little like the sher-
if usually encountered in Hoosier
county seats. We expected to see
a large man, rather well-fed, wear
ing a large Stetson cooked over one
ear, instead Of bustling young bust
ness man. -
Only two people grace the county
Jail, according to the sheriff. They
are two youths lin" for assault and
battery. Quite a contrast to our
county bastile, where the walls move
in and out every time the 300-odd
prisoners happen to take a long
breath.
By this time J. NJ had "shot" a
picture Of Main Street looking east.
[ had learned the first settlers had
moved in about 1919 and the first
business was saw mills and grist
mills, water-propelled. The ancient
fliv had boiled most of the water
away, so we pulled into a filing
station on the site Of the old Good
ing tavern, where hostlers Of yore
used to water the stage coach horses.
Henry was watered, and quit snort
ing, after which we attempted to
get into Riley's old home, situated
on West Main Street. However.
Mrs. John Riley. the poets sister
in-law, who lives in the house with
| her sister, Miss Sue Wilson, was
taking a nap, and we contented our
selves with a picture. Some mo-
florists from Missouri also stopped to
look the place over.
So we left for Indianapolis, ush-
cred out of town by the strains of
the Brandywine banjo orchestra,
which was jazzing up Main Street
at practice in a clubroom.
