The improvements at the depot are more extensive than we at first understood they were to lie. New floors are being placed in the office and waiting rooms and the building is to be repainted. This probably -means that the present building is to last for all future time, apd it is somewhat of a disappointment, but the few new boards and fresh paint will help to some extent to improve the shameful old affair that has so long disgraced our city. Rev. and Mrs. H. M. Middleton Went to Hammond Friday afternoon, after a short visit with friends here. They will spend the summer there with their daughter, Mrs. George McEwen. Rev. Middleton came from Florida on the advice of his physician, his health being very poor. He regretted his inability to remain longer here and thus to be able to see more of his old friends, but he hopes to return later and remain longer. Without a doubt a saloon license will be issued in Tippecanoe county for a saloon in Otterbein. A number of men are already spoken of as probable applicants. The corporation line runs only to the county line and quite a bit of the town lies in Tippecanoe county.in Shelby township. There is no hope of defeating the project by remonstrance because Shelby township rolled up a wet majority of 40 in the recent election. There will be no police protection and the chances are favorable for a pretty tough hole. The Benton county Otterbein will get all benefits that accrue from having a saloon thus located.—Fowler Republican.
