sheet iron business at TINS point.
These mills manufacture d superior
article of sheet iron and trade in that
line must be unusually dull which
causes so prolonged suspension from
business.
Not feeling inclined to swat the
pleasure" of the east bound train till
the afternoon we leisurely walked
back along the track, up the valley OF
Basin Run. The grass and wheat
fields were looking their best, the red
clover being out in full bloom, and
the heavy wheat beginning to take on
the faint russet tint which proceeds
ripening.
Two miles up the railroad the en-
bryo village Of Liberty Grove is bid
ding for population and future corpor.
ate honors. Here there is some i'm
provement going forward in the way
of bull ing. Mr.. Rowland is putting
up a new house of considerable size'
on the "second bottom as western
parlance would say, which overlooks
the valley where, the railroad bugs
the meandering stream, >that steadily
diminishes as we recede from the Oc
toraro and approach its source.
Two miles above Liberty Grove we
reach Colora, which is fast assuming
the proportions of a respectable viii
lage. Here the Waring fertilizer
works diffuses enterprise and pros
perity like the dews of heaven on the
green fields that compass it round
With an emeral zone OF agricultural
and landscape beauty. The Waring
Company, the quietly pu]sating heart
of this place. is steadily extending it's
business and enlarging its sphere of
usefulness. They have a new mill
building completed for the purpose of
better accommodations, and more ex-
tensive business, in their new branch
of industry, processing corn meal by
mixing it with a phosphorus prepara
tion whichfts it for making into bread
or cakes without the addition, by the
baker, of yeast or baking powder.
This preparation is the same as Hors-
ford's, and the proprietors claim that
theirs is chemically purer than the
baking powders put up by that cele-
hrated chemist. The corn meal which
is used for this preparation is manu-
ufactured in roller mill and is claim
ed to hold the same relation to the
ordinary burr ground meal, that the
new process flour holds to the old
fashioned superfine, xxx ad llbit1na,
-four. Heretofore the company has
felt its way with caution in this new
industry, doing their mixing by hand
having but limited quaters to op-
crate in. In future their facilities
will be ample in the way of mill room,
and the mixing operation, ere long,
will most likely be accomplished by
steam power in lieu of muscle.
Buildings and other improvements
are steadily being add ed to the vii,
lage. The new store and dwelling
of Mr.. Street Brown, being perhaps
the most noticeable, (which is finish.
ed with a great deal of taste. A new
store will be opened in the building
in few days by Mr.. Elliot, as here
tofore noticed. Rising Sun will have
to look to its laurels for this new and
ambitious little village shows unmis
taxable signs of get up and 60 ahead
about it. DR.. Crothers has hand
some drug store which has been open
ed within the past year. Mr.. Tosh
is feeling his way carefully to the
establishment of an extensive hard
ware and tin store in the not far of
future. Mr.. Thos. E. Hines has fitted
up an ice cream parlor, and will sue
ceed in making it a profitable enter
prise by adopting the true method
for building up business, which is
to take the public into his confidence,
by using the newspaper as medium
| of communication with them, whose
