ROAD COMPLETE. Jefferson Township’s Macadam Roads Are in the Finishing Stages. It is probable that before the week ends tho first of three Jefferson township macadam roads will bo complete. The roads have long been in a state of construction, and its completeness wil be hailed with considerable delight by the many who travel that thoroughfare. It is also good news to know Unit the grading has been begun upon the second road for that township and that work upon its construction will’proceed without delay. When this and the third road are’finished Jefferson township will be well supplied with good macadam roads. This spirit of public enterprise is indeed commendable. While it will afford excellent roads it also increases the value of realty there, and what is immediately refunded in realty increases. BOARD ADJOURNS. Commissioners Complete the Business of the August Term. Before adjournment the commissioners instructed Janitor Ernst to have the iron doors at both the east and west entrance of tne court house removed and replaced with oak doors with plate glass.

Bids for coal were opened , those bidding being John Everett, Krick <fc Tyndall and J. D. Hale, the former being the lowest was instructed to deliver six cars for use at the court house, jail and infirmary. The board also contracted with the Gas Company for placing of meters in the court house. WAS OPERATED UPON. Drs. Rosenthal of Fort Wayne and Schwartz of Portland amputated the left arm of Mrs. J. A.

INDIANA CATTLE SHOW — Autumn Exhibit at Indianapolis is Rich in Promise. The show of cattle at the Indiana State Fair, which will ite held at Indianapolis the week of September 14, is particularly rich in promise for this year. Charles Downing. Secretary of thee State Fair, says that in no state in the country have the farmers and cattle men made greater progress with their live stock than they have in Indiana, and he believes that they have lioen materially aided in their efforts by ideas they have obtained from famous herds that have boon shown iat tlie Indiana Fair in recent yoarsj The premium list of the Indiana ! Fair is prolific in its offers to live stock men for the coming Fair. In every class flic prizes are worth while, not only for their financial value, but where an Inndina man; wins a ribbon lie will have a trophy worth bragging about. There will lie fifteen classes of blooded stock raised in Indiana, and they will lie

in the charge of David Wallace of i Indianapolis; All.o Powell of Wn I hash and Oscar Hadly of Danville, | each of whom is known over | Indiana as an authority on fancy | cattle. The entries in this department of the fair will close on Sep bun her 7. While the Fair does not open for several weeks, the indications at Secretary Downing's office are that this portion of the Fair will have all the live stock I that it can conveniently take care 1 of-3 — ...■■■■ S«> Mil* \ II I Min I M.
