A New Industry.’ “C. E. Chapen, of Frankfort, but jforrrerly of Toledo, Ohio, is building a grain elevator ou the Toledo, St. L. & K. C. R. R., near the depot of the railroad. The building is twenty-two feet wide, fifty feet long and will be three stories high with an engine room attached to the north end of the building. The elevator will be equipped with all the modern improvements tor the handling ot grain with a capacity of ten thousand bushels. While we have two good grain houses here this will give a new impulse ,to the trade as our markets have always been up to the top prices paid at any place around us. This will be a better chance for competition in the grain trade, such as no other town of our size has, and the farmers who have grain th sell will find the market here equal to Fort Wayne. This new industry will be ready for business in • bout ten days or twc weeks, and will ask for a share of the public favors and will come prepand to help the farming community along, and in so doing will add to our city. To all such the city bids them welcome. Fur. Trimmed Jackets a feature at the Cloak Opening at the Boston Store, Thursday, October 15th. Entrless for the Races up to To-day.

As the season for county fairs has passed, and all have been a success, or at least all the counties surrounding us have had good fairs and well attended, there is no reason why Adams county should lag behind in the matter. Our county produces as good grain, if not than anv of the adjoining counties, and as much to the acre, and our stock when taken to the fairs ot other counties, frequently come home with the first prize. While the mon-jy thus earned is good, the money spent by our people while attending fairs away from home should be kept here for the benefiit of Adams county, thus improving our own instead of others. Last winter we published a set of Articles that will be good to form a society under for the purpose of an agricultural society here, and at the meeting of the farmers’ institute, November 18th and \ 19th will be a good time to start the work. Let each township select a man to push the work forword and the organization can be made in a very short time- Our sister counties surrounding us have just such an organization as the one published last winter in the Dbmocmat and they are a success both as exhibits of grain and stock and as a financial enterprise, all it needs is push enough to get a start and it will then take care of itself, financially. So start the ball rolling and let the good work be put in m.tion so that everything may be put i B readiness for an early daw next
