We learn that there are several debat-

the discussion of questions relating to

organizations should be encouraged

parties who are able to hold for higher

hopeful for the coming season.

An effort is now being made to organ
ize a company here to manufacture wind
engines in Eaton. Farmers, stock men,
gardeners, livery stable keepers and 9TH
ers, have all lately learned that wind
pumps are economical, profitable and
convenient implements to use. Over two
hundred of them were sold in Preble
county last year, and every purchaser
using them claims they pay for them
selves in a single ear Within the next
five years every thrifty and successful
farmer in PEBBLE county who has not an
ample supply of running water upon his
premises, will have in use one or mora
wind engines. For grinding and cutting
feed, supplying dwellings, watering
lawns and gardens. running fountains
milk houses, &C., they are very desira'
BILE. The demand for them for the next
ten years will be almost unlimited. The
profits are satisfactory. Will our people
avail themselves of this opportunity tt
secure a profitable and live m%anufactur
ing business among us? LATER.-Sinct
writing the above, a company has beer
organized t. manufacture Wind Engines
Capital $4,000. A factory will be bull
and equipped as speedily as possible. Tit
business cannot be other than large ant
profitable if properly managed.
We have conversed with several of Ea
toms business men and find nearly al
agreeing in opinion, that there is an i'm
proved tone in both the present and fu
ture outlook for all branches of trade an,
business. Wheat, corn, hogs and othe
farm products are in good demand ant
at 10 to 20 per cent. higher than the.
were sixty days ago, and with fair pros
poets of still better prices when tn
spring opens. There is but little com
plant in collections, taking into accoun
the severity of the weather for the pas
seventy days, and the locking up of larg
sums of taxes in our county treasures
