July 7, 1883.

We hope the above call will be responded to
in proper manner. The Wings Of Carroll
need not 10 be convinced Of the necessity of a
change in the officials Of this county, and of the
State-that the next election is avery import
ant one and must determine the course ofthings
for two years at least, and perhaps longer
that duty to themselves to their children aud
to their fellow men, require their efforts in the
coming contest.
We hope to see full turn out from every
township in the county, and it is certainly des-
habls that al cultivate the spirit of compro-
mise. All aspirants cannot be successful
some must be disappointed. Let each pursue
an upright honorable course, and there will be
but little cause for chickering's or heart burn,
ngs.
Again We say, let there be full turn out
Locoiocoism is fiat on its back and it requires
but united effort To keep it there.

Pink, which is celebrated as good milcher,
with many aimabe qualities, rather took him

found calf at her side, remarkable only for
its beauty In Just one week from that time,
he went out and found to his utter astonish.

Messrs DAVIS & Co., Cincinnati, have erect.
ed furnace, forge and rolling mill all in the
same room, and are now making the best quail
ity of bar iron directly from the ore, and with
common bituminous coal. The arrangement
appears to be ample and excellent, and the
price of iron must be, materially reduced by
its adoption. The metal as it is melted in the
furnace is drawn off in the liquid state to the
pudding oven, where it is balled and put un-
der the trip hammer. After being sufficiently
hammered into blooms it is again heated and
pnt through the rolling mil All these opera
tions are cheapened by the new arrangement,
so that the cost is but triAing compared with
the old process. Mr.. CIsT, of Cincinnati speaks
of its advantages as follows
The great advantages claimed in this pro-
cess are-the cheapness with which the iron i;
made, the cost estimated at but S22 to S23
where the ore and coal is near at hand-thC
use exclusively of the common bituminous Goa
the uniform good quality of the iron-anC
compared with blast furnace, costing, say
$4,000, which usually produces nine tuns pig
iron, worth say $50 per tun, the daily products
would be $270, the same investment, say $50,
600, will build twenty of these furnaces allow
ing $4,000 for machinery, houses, &C., which
twenty furnaces, at the poorest yield ever made
yet, will produce 40 tuns blooms daily, wortl
at least, $50 per tun when pig iron is worth
$50, making S2, 40C daily product from $780,
900 investment. against S270 product at a bias
furnace, and the comparative cost of labor
nothing, compared with increased product
The works are all contained in a building 81
by so feet, and the estimated room required
for twenty furnaces and necessary machinery
is single shed 40 feet long and so fee
wide
