The employees of the flint glass works are beginning to return for the next fire, which starts about the 15th next.

The White river Iron and Steel works have finished their repair and Secretary Foulk is happy. The works will shortly be running full tilt.

James Baker of Muncie, Ind., spent part of his vacation here at the home of his parents. He hurt his hand just previous to the shutdown, but is all right again. — Pittsburg Commoner.

The carpenters at work on the buildings of the Over glass factory are nearly ready for raising. The factory will be ready for business on or about the first of September, the usual time for starting.

The Ball Brothers Glass Manufacturing Company of Muncie, Ind., have been experiencing a great rush, as is usual. It is stated that they shipped in the immediate neighborhood of 700 cars of their fruit jars to the wholesale dealers during the rush. — National Glass Budget.

Contractor Morgan is erecting the Hemingray glass works buildings, and the factory will be ready by the usual time of starting, the 15th inst. The main building covers much more ground than before and there are several additional sheds. The machine shop has been repaired and contains some very fine lathes and other machines such as were destroyed by the recent fire.

Contractor Mitchell has the building for the Common Sense Engine works nearly completed and will accomplish the work in 55 days' time, which speaks well for Mr. Mitchell's hustling manner of doing work. The machinery for the works at Springfield, O., is being torn up and will be located upon two trains which will be artistically decorated with bunting and appropriately lettered. The trains will arrive here in about two weeks.
