While there is not much building this year in the way of new houses, there is a lot of barn repairing, crib building, etc., and the local lumber dealers are enjoying a very good business. If the corn crop turns out as well as pretent indications indicate a lot of crib room will be required to hold it A bulletin of the Department of fisheries present some interesting facts as to the fishing industry of Indiana: Neary 1,000 men earn their living exclusively by fishing, according to the statistics. The last year was fifteen and a half mH ton pounds, valued at 1223,500. This, of course, includes only the fish market. Mussel sheets, pearls and slugs make up the greater part of the Indiana catch, in point of value. The value of mussel shells taken was $80,860, and of pearls and slugs, $73,670. I have again secured the agency for the Booth Guaranteed Oysters, for this season. The first shipment will arrive Thursday morning, Sept. Ist. This year will be the best oyster year ever, the U. S. Government having condemned all the impurd oyster beds, and the Booth Fisheries Co. having secured, through Its eastern agencies, almost all of the best beds, therefor we will be able to serve those highly flavored fries, stews and raw oysters that made me so rich and corpulent last winter. Don’t forget the date for Booth Oysters, Sept. Ist, 1910. G®o. FATH, The Fat Dinner Man.
