GO AWAY FROM HOME TO LEARN THE NEWS HOLDS GOOD IN THIS INSTANCE Goshen News Times Gives What Is Purported to Be Contemplated Changes in State Road
Go away from home to learn the news is a saying which holds 7good with reference to the following which appeared in the Goshen News Times of last Thursday: i “The three-fourths of a mile detour at the north edge of Kimmell now the only break in the all paved route from Goshen to Fort Wayne 56 miles, will be continued indefinitely. That short stretch however, is to -be paved at the expense of Noble county for the bene-
fit of Kimmell, the course of thé old highway through the “village having been swung to the west, so as to afford a safer crossing of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad track. Like the crossing of State Route No. 25 at the Goshen & Michigan Branch ‘railroad track southwest of Middlebury, the paved highway is completed and plans for the crossing are in embryo, which probably means a year or mare before the improvement is made. The Goshen & Michigan Branch management would probably rather tear up
the track than pay 50 per cent of the expensive crossing, the revenue of the line being far less than expense of operation. Permission of the utility commission to abandon the line however, is not forthcoming. u “When the state highway commission extends State Route No. 17 (the Toledo and Chicago) pike westward from Ligonier via Nappanee and other Baltimore & Ohio railroad towns into Chicago, the route will be half a mile south of the Lincoln highway out of Ligonier and past the old Ligonier fair grounds. When that improvement is made, which it is believed, will be within the next two years, the route of the Lincoln highway out of Ligonier to where it turns Goshenward (north) at Hire's corner will be via State Route No. 17, which will do away with the three-mile stretch of brick road westward from Ligonier that has gone to pieces. By the end of 1928, it is said, the Toledo & Chicagd pike will be paved from Ligonier to the Ohio state line. A short section at the east end is now being hard surfaced. That complete improvement will afford an all paved route of more, than 100 miles out of Goshen by traveling from here to Angola via State .Route No. 25 and going south from Angola to. State Road No. 17 and into Goshen over that road and the Lincoln highway.”
Thinks Corn Will Straighten.
Although the corn was blown flat on the ground in many places by the light wind accompanied by “the intense downpour Wednesday evening, there are many who think it will straighten up considerably. The roots on the windward side are broken and the fields look like a roller had gone over them in the southern part of the county but the tendency of thé corn to turn towards the light will help to lift the stalks. Some farmers feel that the stalks will just stratighten about, enough for the ears to clear the ground It will make hard work -cutting thisg fall. : :
Find Dynamite Supply.
Sheriff Thomas Long and his deputies are endeavoring to- ascertain who placed a box containing 85 pounds of dynamite and a quantity of per~ cussion caps in the attic of the poultry building at the Goshen fair grounds. One theory is that the dynamite had ‘been hidden by gangsters for futurg use and another is that it gvas left in ‘the building by a company which conducted a fireworks display there af the fair a year ago. , :
