rril prominence has been given to many of the different enterprises within the limits of our city, but there one particular indrs-

try which has not received the amount recognition it deserves. It is the one which embraces the manufacture of wire, slat, farm, garden and railroad leneing. Mr. F. (. Mclntire established the busine-s in 1887 and ii has •1?rown very largely since its inception the present time. Mr. Mi Entire operates the only power fence, machine in this part of the county, which makes the only fence that will turn stock successfully. All the elements of cheapness, safety, durability and attraction as combined in this fence. ]\rone but •lirst.class material is used in the manufacture. The laths are cut from edgings. heart pieces and corners, from •••ar and lumber dimensions and quar rer-sawed oak, scarcely a slab picket •among them, lie is using the only .Farm Fence Machine invented for weaving combination fencing, a machine that measures the fencing correctly and rolls into rolls perfectly itsself. There have been several practices in splicing combination fencing, but this way leads them all. The strain is on the wire instead of the slats, is others practice. The beauty of this combination lies in the quickness that •a splice can be made. They are furn isned irer with each order of fence, and Mr. Mclntire has the sole right to use them. It is indeed a business looking sight to visit the factory at 212 woftt Market street, and see the large piles of slats and large rolls of this •fence ready for market. The amount sold in the last year readies the astonishing sum of 10,OIK) rods, which went all over the western part of Indiana. Mr. .Mclntire began the manufacture of this iencc in a very modest way, but by pluck and go-aheadi veness has made a business of no little import. We take much pleasure in saying a word for Mr. Mclntire. and his enterprise, as he is a progressive citizen, and a good business man. His establishment helps to make up the manufacturing interests of our city. Fanners should investigate his fence before be ginning their spring fenciritr.

Their abstract books an complete down to date, besides access is had to all the court house records pertaining to the business, which gives a decided advantage over other abstractors. When you get their abstract you obtain a correct one. They do not half abstract your title and charge you a high price for it, but do their work correctly and neatly for a reasonable fee. When you are in the court house drop in and see them.

But on reaching a point on Sugar Creek near the south-west comer of the county all is changed as if by a fairy's wand. On every hand are high bluffs rising several hundred feet almost perpendicularly while the lofty pine trees which cover their tops as well as the sides wherever crag gives a chance for life, make them look much higher. Between the bluffs Sugar Creek winds its tortuous way and their sides are broken by deep gorges extendng miles back into the open country.

These beauties have always been there no doubt and since the county has become thickly settled the place has been the resort of picnic parties, campers and scientific collectors. But until a few years ago these expeditions have alwavs been attended with more or less hardship.
