Pike county Journal: The history Of
nearly all towns has convinced us that
small manufacturing enterprises are most
important factors in their success. Acting

strange to say, we are not all discOur-

tory would he a paying Investment. In
connection with this there might be also
noe and aN-handle factory, all run by
the same power The plant would cost,
according TO rough estimate: Building,
$1,000. engine and boiler. 81 900: machinery
&,0OO, capital 81 coo total $1,000. The ma

Porter Spring correspondent Constitu-
ton: AS up to my arrivalhere few days
ago j had been so sick and i'll that l hard
~ felt worth killing, 1 have not been able
for two months past to read the newspa-
pers, so 1 don't know whether the sugges-
ton of having an old fashioned corn
shocking at the exposition has been made
by any one through the newspapers or not.
Don't you think 1t would be fine thing
