The Sterling Remedy Co., of Attica has been merged with the Danderine company of Wheeling, W. Va., and will be moved to that city within six months, it is reported. This will be a severe blow to Attica, as the plant employs several hundred people and has made Attica a free delivery postoffice, because of the large amount of mail-matter handled there. The removal of the plant will cause the postoffice to go back to its old class. A Washington dispatch says: A. J. Bunnell, of North Judson, is here trying to Interest the members of the Indiana delegation in Congress in a plan he has to reclaim the swamp land of the Kankakee valley. He would have the Federal Government undertake the work of removing the rock ledge at Momence, 111. He believes money should be raised for the work by issuing bonds. Congress has always regarded the Kankakee situation one with which the States of Indiana and Illinois should deal.
