CtmmlMloner'* Allewaneea. At the special January term of commissioner’s court these two allowances were made: Irvin Brandyberry, services as Auditor 1664 34 Dan 1’ Bolds, services as Treasurer.. 1830 00 At the time these allowances were made, the Democrat explained them, but it wont hurt to repeat it. The commissioner’s record shows that no orders were to be drawn until or unless the legislature legalized the acts of commissioners in allowing the salaries of county auditors or treasurers, as Stipulated in the fee and salary law of 1895. The legislative bgalized such payments, so Auditor Mangold issued to them the county orders Our readers will remem ber that the salary law provided that all county officers should take in the amount of their salary in fees. As these two officials receive but few, if any fe>s, the legislature gave the commissioners authority to pay the salaries as stipulated by law. The Fair, the new department store in the Stone building, opened Saturday, and without any degree of flattery we must add that the first day was one of pure business and lots of it. The store was crowded with people and buyers from early morning until late at night. The pioprietor of this new enterprise, Mr. E. Franklin, is a hustler for all the word implies. He comes from Huntington where for twelve years he has been in business. His family, consisting of a wife and two daughters are also here, making their home for the present with Mr. and Mrs. J T. Archbold, on Monroe street. It is their intention of making this their permanent home, and will soon buy property. The large stock and store at Huntington was too large so it was divided, half of it sent to Rochester and the other half here. It is a department store, strictly up to date and consists of a heavy stock. Havelin China can be seen in abundance and the fine dinner sets shows that the store caters to the trade who demands the best. The staple lines of wall paper, window shades, lady’s and gent’s furnishing goods, and everything else you can allow your imagination to recall, can be found there in any shade, color or quality desired. The store is a permanent fixture and the pro prietor invites you to call and look through the various departments. The ridiculous low prices will be a feature that wilt be maintained always. Messrs. Hart and Buhler of Decatur, Ind., are here prospecting for a grist mill site. An informal meeting of a few of the business men of our town was held at H Krick’s store. The subject was thoroughly discussed and it was universal y decided to call a mass meeting of citizens and farmers on Saturday, March 27, 1897 at 2 o’clock p m., at the G. A. R., hall in Monroeville, for the purpose of further discussion of the enterprise and deciding upon some plan of ac tion that will result in getting a mill located here. Mr. Hart is a practical miller of some thirty years experience and is well known by many farmers and others here. The time has fully come and the circumstances are favorable for de cided and vigorous action on the part of our people. Both town and country need the mill and it is hoped that the enterprise will prove a success, but this cannot be met without the hearty approval of every business man and citizen of the town and every farmer for miles around. All persons inter ested in the enterprise are cordially and earnestly invited to attend the meeting. Don’t forget the time.— Monroeville Breeze.

We take great pleasure in recommending the aforementioned gentle men»to the citizens of Monroeville and vicinity. They are competent business men, and practical millers, such as will insure to Monroeville, a mill, second to none in the state. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.

Lester, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Lehman of Polingtown, aged 4 years, he being the second one of the family to pass away within the last two months. Christian Stookey will make sale of his stock and farm implements on the 30th day of the month. The barns of Nicholas Stookey and A. J. Linn were d stroyed by lightning early Monday morning. Emil Erkhart's dwelling was also struck at the same time, damaging the roof and chimney. The house was struck at the same place last May doing a like damage. In writing up the business of our town we note that the original one is being conducted by Gentis and Crisman, proprietors of the lumber mill. So in dispensible in maintaing the improve ments of the country, they are doing a fair business, having in connection a planing mill and a hub factory. This branch of business was opened up by Wm. McDowell about 1850, who erected a saw mill drove by water power A Mr. Parker was its next owner, when it passed into the hands of E. Neaderhouser, who added a pair of burrs for the manufacture of corn meal, in 1863 Mr. Neaderhouser put up the present plant, steam being used as motive power. Mr F. Rieffee became the one half owner soon after completion. Among the various owners during the past are Laudman & Schindler, Hoffman, Gentis & Mante. Gentis, Crisman & Baum gartner, wheu it passed to the present management. We next notice the di m of Van Camp Bros., whose business has a front placejn the commercial world, that of sharing in the attempt to fur nish the millions with the staff of life. They produce a high grade of flour together with their fair dealings and qualifications to please, makes their place a popular one. The mill was built in 1857 by Emanuel Neaderhouser and was run by water power which was supplanted by steam in 1875. Machinery known as the “new process” was put in place in 1884 This was displaced by the roller system in 1887. the capacity being deemed too large, the machinery was sold and moved away. The plant was purchased by F. Neaderhouser & Co., who in 1894 put in a smaller roller system. The owners have been E. Neaderhouser, E. Neader houser & Sons, F. Neaderhouser, Jb. Neaderhouser &Co , when it passed to the present management.
