GENERAL REPAIRS A SPECIALITY.
----
MILLER & FORD, Prop'rs.
During the last Paris exposition there was upon exhibition a wonderful piece of skill
and ingenuity, a clock made by Stephen Engle, of Hazelton, Pa. The work, when complete,
shows conclusively that America can proudly take her place at the head of nations for
inventions and mechanical skill. The following is a description of this wonderful clock.
All the figures are nine inches in height; there are twenty-six in all. When the hour
hand approaches the first quarter "Father Time" reverses his hour-glass and strikes one
on a bell with his scythe, when another bell inside responds, then childhood appears.
When the hour-hand reaches the second quarter or half-hour, then you hear two strokes of
the bell, youth apears and the organ plays a hymn. "Father Time" strikes two and
reverses his glass; then two bells respond on the inside. One minute later a chime of
bells is heard, when a folding door opens in a lower porch and one at the right of the
court, when the Saviour comes walking out, and one by one the Apostles come forth and
join him, as well as the three Marys. As the Apostles slowly pass the Savior they bow to
him, with the exception of Peter, who turne slowly away; then the cock on the right
flaps its wings and crows; Satan then appears above at a window on the left side, the
figure of Justice raises her scales; Judas, as he advances, does not look upon the
Savious because the devil follows immediately after him, staying long enough to see that
Judas is all right, but appears six times at different places during the Apostles'
march. At the third quarter Time strikes three blows with her scythe and turns his
hour-glass. Manhood then appears. As the hour-hand approaches the hour four bells are
heard and the organ plays again (a different tune). Two minutes after old age appears,
Death strikes the hour with a bone on the skull, and one minute after the procession of
the Apostles takes place. A truly wonderful piece of mechanicism which ranks as the
eighth wonder of the world. Yet with all due respect to a mechanical mind, there are
other inventions which should be considered before placing the laurels upon the head of
one man. This work shows careful study and a very ingenious mind, yet does all this time
benefit mankind? Let us contrast another invention of about the same date, 1858. A young
man invents a shoe that has features possessed by no other make. It is well made,
perfect fitting, stylish and thoroughly up to date always. Forty odd years he continues
to make and sell these goods, the
page: 8[View Page 8] millions of people who
found ease and comfort by their use are benefitted. These goods are as well made to-day
as forty years ago. The high standard set then has been maintained; an enivable
reputation. To make shoes does not require as much mechanical thought as it does to make
a clock, but it taks sound judgment and business sagacity to conduct such a business.
Therefore I claim that J. B. Lewis and his "Wear Resisters" should be awarded the palm.
That his "Wear Resisters" are the eighth wonder of the world is truth without question
and their remarkable footwear can be bought from

INTRODUCTOTY.
------------
In the month of January 1896 my Mother was visiting me at my home in Decatur, Indiana. During her stay she said, Martha, under any circumstance never bury me in the Miller Cemetery, and if they lay out the new cemetery while I am living I will remove Papa and the Children there. Little did I think that in less than three weeks it would be left to us to select a place two weeks from the next Sabbath. The news came Mother was found dead in her bed. How her words rang in my ears. Even now I see the hand that was raised to emphasize her words, "Never under any circumstance bury me in the Miller Cemetery." We laid her in the Wells Cemetery, and on the next Friday, having the graves prepared, we went to have Papa and the Children removed when Mr. and Mrs. Alberson said they would survey and lay out a cemetery if we would bury there, and as the sun was sinking in the West they were laid away, bringing Mother back the next day, and there they sleep side by side on the hill in site of our child-hood home.
It is done then, we stop to think, they lay in an open field, it is like making a home here seventy years ago, there is no fence, no nothing; and if we wait for the sale of lots to improve it it will be years.
I have taken this plan to get money to fence it. I have asked the old people in Adams, Jay and Randolph Counties to write their histories and the business men to place an "ad" in this book to help financially. By examining this book you will see how they have responded.
I take this opportunity to thank the business men for their aid and the pioneers for their promptness and kindness, I will bid you god speed.
Yours truly,
MRS. MARTHA C. M. LYNCH.
