LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY. MARCH 28, 1889.

The- Springfield Baptists have secured the services of their old pastor, ‘I. J. Mawhorter, for another term. Their choice is an excellent one. All such organizations will flourish when the right men are at the head of them.

Mr. and Mrs. Lew Niner, of Millersburg, were in town over Monday night, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Haid.

Henry Peterson is now prosecutor for Noble county. It is a commendable change. ' We haye been somewhat negligent in our duties as correspondent for some time.

Our high license is optional with the commissioners. Bah! Such travesty makes us sick. :

We hear a great deal said by some of our citizens in regard to ‘fleur mills,”’ “gas wells’”’ and ‘mammoth manufactories.” We suggest it as a waste of wind. The gas enterprise has proved a miserabie failure here, and if the securing of a good well had been a snccess, where, under the present state of affairs, could it have been utilized with any success financially? To talk of securing mammoth manufactories is nonsense, for we have not the transportation facilities. As for ‘‘flour mills:’”’ well, no one in this vicinity has ever become immensely wealthy in the latter calling. The most substantial and sensible scheme our wide-awake citizens should agitate is good gravel roads south and east of town. Give us well made roads to eur agricultural districts, and *“mark it,” you will see an influx of sound, beneticial patronage to Albion, that will beat all the booms, gas wells, etc., that have ever been attempted or hoped for m our town. Good roads will make us a wheat and hog market, se‘cure to us vast quantities of produce of all kinds, and will establish a firm steady market, that will be the envy of surrounding towns, and make Albion the center of prosperity, enterprise and commercial activity. Go after business; don’t wait forit to come to you. Hustle, ‘‘screw your burr.’’
