| We presume there are few places bet.
ter adapted to business than Millers.
burg. Situated in the midst of an i'm.
mense coal region, it has increasing ia.
cilities for manufacturing purposes. Al
that is required now to make it first.
class manufacturing town, is to have 8
few more of these establishments in hel
midst. We have already large Foun-
dry and Machine Shop, which sends oui
an immense amount of machinery OF
different kinds. Employment is given
to a large number of hands. Then
again, there is the Lumber Yards which
are doing a good business. There is a
constant increase in the demand for
building material. And in this our
hardware men come in for their share.
We must say here, that we have two as
fine establishments of this kind as can
be found in this part of the State. For
room and place Of business, the new one
just opening, has few equals anywhere.
Then again, our dry goods men, deserve
great credit, for the enterprise shown in
the fine selection of their goods. They
are always up to time and understand
just what their customers want.
Then again, the drug business
is fully represented by the right
men in the right place. There are
three stores of the kind, all doing
good business. And five are intellect
ually inclined, and desire choice lot of
books of any kind, We have only to call
at the Book Store, where we can be i'm
mediately supplied, likewise with any
article whatever in the notion line.
Our grocery men, who are not few in
number, are all making handsome
living, by supplying our citizens with
the daily necessities of life.
Then there are our jewellers who can
just beat the Je,os in selling everything
that is nice in their line of business. But
we have not time to enumerate all the
classes of business which we have here,
such as Artists, MIilliners, Bankers, Law
yers, Physicians, Clothiers, Boot and
Shoe men, &C., but suffice it to say that
we have all these different occupations
fully and ably represented. Our Physi-
clans manage to keep the health of the
at such status as will COM
pare favorably with any part of the
State. We suppose there are as few
deaths occur here as in any town of its
size in the United States. This is saying
a good deal, nevertheless we believe it
to be true.
Lying, as it does, on the side of hill,
the town does not have that graduated
appearance that some others have, yet
it has some beautiful streets and
some handsome residences. In fact a
majority of her streets have tasty ap-
pearance. One of its finest features is
its large and handsome School building,
which would be an ornament to any
place. 1t is situated on the brow of the
hill overlooking the town, and affording
a delightful view of the valley and sur
hills. About five hundred
scholars are now in daily attendance.
There is another thing which gives i'm
portance to Millersburg. That is its
market facilities. Thousands of bushels
of grain pass through its different ware
houses every week. There are several
warehouses and two are worthy of spe-
cial notice. The one known as the
"White" and the other as the aRed,"
both situated near the railroad.
A large amount of Stock is shipped
from this point. There are many other
things that might be said had we time
and space, among which would be our
five or six churches, and the two print
ing offices which are among the finest in
the State.
