HERE THERE and EVERY WHERE

Burrows camp resort, just across Dunn’s bridge in Porter county, has been sold, to parties from Indiana Harbor. Last Monday the county commissioners of Benton county purchased a five-ton auto truck for use in repairing the stone roads of the county. A prosperous New England farmer, replying*to a comment on the amount of money he was spending to put his son through college, said: “Yes, it does take a lot of money, hut I’d rather leave my money in my hoy than to him.” Fire of unknown origin in the W. B, Conkey Printing plant at Hammond caused damage -estimated at SIO,OOO at an early hour Thursday morning. The damage resulted chiefly from water, which saturated hooks in process of manufacture in the bindery.

The Springhoro bridge between White and Carroll counties, just a short distance southeast of Monticello, over the Tippecanoe river, has been completed and accepted by she hoards of county commissioners. The bridge is one of the largest in the district and cost about $30,000.

The early shopper this year gains a two-fold advantage. It is much to have disposed of the Christmas buying in good season and to have freed the mind from anxiety and fretfulness, and it is sometimes better to have 'got the purchases made on a lower range of prices than is likely to rule throughout the season. The costs of merchandise are constantly rising, for the demands in some lines are feverish and factory outputs are unequal to the call for the product. Those who have already done their Christmas buying or Nvho may do it at once will in many ways be more fortunate than those who postpone the task to the final days before Christmas.
