Krick, Tyndall & Company are doing a rushing tile and brick business and at the present time are running their tile and mill night and day. Still they are unable to meet the demand and it will no doubt be far in the season before they can fill all orders.

The Bluffton carnival will be the same week as the Great Northern Indiana Fair. This is the only open date the carnival company had and Buffton had to take it.

A little well directed work would put them in better condition and it is to be hoped that something will soon be begun.

There was not a quorum present at the Commercial Club rooms last night and no meeting was held for the purpose of considering the proposition to buy a new factory site for the Bluffton Mfg. Co. for ♦BOO. It is likely that a meeting will be called at a later date, or some of those interested in the project may personally look after soliciting a bonus fund.—Bluffton Banner. The above item shows the hopeless lethargy prevalent among Bluffton citizens. The knowing ones it seems realize the fallacy of attempting to com]sdo with an up to date Commercial club and facilities, which Decatur enjoys and they think it just as well to stay at home and trust to luck.
