WAR! The War Cloud that was eo Black for Some Days Hast ( Has Settled so that Some Os the Prophets say They can See Beyond the Bright Light of Peace. The war cloud that has been ag tat. ng Our people tor some weeks pis' on account ot the insolence of Chilli, seems to be breaking away, at least the Cabinet < fficnn and parties at Washington no ft directly connected there with, have coo.id down and are sleeping soundly of nights under the hope that Chilli will soon apt 1; Ise lor all the intuits she has ever otieided Uncle Sam, and then all will beser.-ne again. The president is withholding his message to congress with the hope that there will be no need .of calling the attention of congress to the treatment this government has received from Chilli dui - ing hit administration. While some ot Blaine’s friends are sating that he is not in manner to do so at this time for fear ot putting his foot in the political pot and spoil his chance of a re-nomination. For the Secretary of State has been doing some work in the matter, declaring that there would not be any war With Chilli and this country, and Benjamn was afraid to declaie to congress that there was a necessity for us to retort to arms lor the purpose of righting a wrong, or as it may be a fancied wring, at least he has bem slow to move in the matter and now is still w aiting to see if they v ill be good and, like a spoiled cl.iid, offer to do better in the futuie it forgiven for this act ai.d also that the} will never repeat it. They are having a fine time in trying to see who can get the lead for the Republican pomination for president this ye*r. There seems to be more in looking alter the nomination than the interest of the people whom they are the servants of, like — Sherman and his frtmfs in Ohio, they may have something to look ailer when they get the nomination ot the party. Enterprise. I « Through the kindness of Jesse Niblick, the senior member of the firm of Niblick St Son, dry goods merchants and grain dealers of our city, we were shown through their grain elevator on the G. R. & 1. railroad, where they have one of the best arranged elevators in the state or any other State, having recently put in one of the Miami Valley cornshellers, the finest that are made, and not only the finest but the best made. The machinery being all new and of the latest improved. To the original building ihey have added a fine addition to the north end, also It brick engine room in which they have a fifteen horse power engine to move the ele the corn and furnish a|l thp power that is requirt d in the running pi the machinery. In the drive way to the main building is attachad a corn crib, before coming to the corn crib and shed in which the grain fa unloaded, the team can be driven or.tp a pair of scales and the load weighed and then to the shed where it is unloaded. Ji It is corn in a w.igoti the hind endgate is taken out and by means of a trap door in the floor the wagon is tipptd backwards •o that the corn drops into the crib below where it is caught or thrown into a trough Ot the elevatbr that carries it-so the shelter Which shells as fast as two men can throw it in with a scoop shovel. From the shsl ler the corn is carried to the third story pt the building where If is dropped into a bin while the dust is carried by a fan to the outside of the building and the cobs arp delivered rfear the furnace wl-.e e they are used for fuel. The machi eis capable of •helling 1,500 bushels per day. ' The machinery for handling *he smaller grain and seed is as complete a* the one for corn. The wheat when not clean enough for market it is tun through a mill firhi.h'removes all the cheat and imperfect grains thus fitting it tor seed as well sa tnilling .purposes, wirle the seed is taken through the same process. The firm pa} s o it about $1,500 per day during the good roads, alwayg keeping abreast of the market, so that our farmers have the full benefit of the prices, thus benefiting the farmers and the business men of the town. Our citv may well feel proud of the business that such a fiun brings to the place, for of such institutions is a city made up. and to such is due the* prosperity of the ettv.

AGRAVEL ROAD. Thie Time it Is in the Hands of Men Who Say There will be no Let-Up Until the ( Work is Completed. Tl e road is to start at the renter of Kirkland township and run one mile east to the Election school house and from thence north Iwo miles to Peterson from east to Decatur on what is known as the old Bluffton road and to join Monroe street at the corporation line, where the macadamizing of the street st' ps, -o that it will make a cont nucur line from the business part of theci'v tqlhj center sis Kirkland township, where this rosd star’s The pel it .on is in tin: han s of Samuel D. Beaver and lame 1 Bell, who have a large number Os sig", rs on the same at this time and they have just started out 1 with the petition and In the fir-t half day ■ got enough to make the t'o first miles and will continue the work un il the same 1 is completed They, with their neighbors see the neccessity for good reads. While ■ the roads are good they can come to De- ■ catur with their produce and for their wheat to day can get three cents more on the bushel than any place around here some of the farmers, from twelve miles west of here ar hauling ih.ir grain to our markets now while the roads siegood, the three ce«ts on the bushel paying them'" well for the haul, and such will be the case if we have good roads. The enterprise of our grain dealeisis such that they with the shipping facilities that we can always lead all the towns surrounding us in prices on grain, and as they are ail well equipped tor handling it they will al ways lead all competitors, so that with roads through cur county our farmers will hive the advantage of the prices paid by cur gram dealers, but while our farmers a e doing their duty in the way of building Il,e roals, our m -reliant* should not be asleep but should bs up and ready to meet them hall way, in order to get the project fully completed at an early day for from that direction cur merchants must draw a big trade. The road will not be completed until a line will be built from Betina V.sti thiough Honduras to connect with thi-" road, thus giving us a gravel road Item the south part of the county beie, therebygiving the people of llartfo-d and French townships a chance to reach our markets at any time ot year. While now they can only come in the -winter when frozen or in the summer when dry and dusty, but wi h such a road they can come anytime The parties who have the petition in charge. that the road is completed by theiniddlfe oi next summer.
