Something About the Eikhart Carriage
and Harness Manufacturing
Company.
This Company was organized aud COM
menced business in 1874. and during the if
teen years of its operation it has extended
its business and established an enviable rep
utation throughout the country. The su-
perior quality of the goods which 1t manu-
features, as we'll as its business methods,
are two of the causes of its extended patron
age and great success. The carriages, bug
gies and other vehicles, manufactured and
sold by this Company, are made from tho
very best material and by the best mechan-
ics. The hard woods of Northern Indiana
are celebrated as tho best in the world for
buggies. carriages and wagons, and these,
after being perfectly seasoned, are used in
all vehicles made and sold by this company.
The iron, steel, leather, cloth, and other
material used is the very best. and all put to-
gether in the best, strongest and most dura-
BILE style. Now, as to their manner of do
ing business. Their system dispeuses with
the profits of middlemen, for they deal di-
rectly with the consumer. All goods Or
dered are boxed and delivered free on
board the cars at Elkhart, Ind. They have
but one price for an article, and that as
low as such goods can be sold, and much
lower than in cases where the middle man
must have profit. An illustrated and de-
scriptive catalogue may be obtained by ad-
dressing G. B. Pratt, Sec'y, Elkhart. Indiana.

Special from Bucklin: One OF the
most destructive fires We ever had IN
this part of the state ragged here few
days ago. The westbound train on the
Rock Island set the prairie on fire about
one mile west of Mulenville. The sec
ton boss. Mr.. Bates, saw the fire when
it started, but on account of the terrible
wind blowing at the time, it got beyond
his control. The fire swept everything
as it went, and never stopped until it
reached the territory at the Oimsrron
river. One farmer lost five hundred tons
of hay and all his buildings. he man.

others lost like amounts. Txo gentle
men travelling northwest from the Horse
head ranch saw the fire coming. They
drove their teams over q very high bank
into q canon and started q back-fre,
only in time to ssve themselves. The
beat and smoke almost suffocated them.
They arrived in Bucklin that evening,
the blacklist looking white men we ever
saw.

Liberal Chronicle: There seems to be
some Misunderstanding in regard to the
location of q sugar mill at this place.
Mr.. Parkinson says that it viii be neces-
ssry to establish mill at Arkalon as
we'll as Liberal. By so doing one man
can look after both plants, and the ex-
pense for running will be considerably
betrayed. We cannot secure q plant
unless Arkalon secures one; end unless
We obtain plant Arkalon must be de-
prived OF the same. It is necessary that
both towns secure q mill; and to bring
about this result, it behooves the citizens
Of Liberal, as we'll as those Of Arkalon,
to work in harmony to that end.
