Bluffton Creamery changes hands and expands efforts
Lipkey and Studabaker take over the Bluffton Creamery leasing it last week after past losses. Lewis Berlin will manage the butter side, securing milk from about fifty city cows to restart on a larger scale as demand grows. The Chronicle criticizes local paper practices while noting a well attended Presbyterian church service.

Protection Panic and McKinley Tariff Critique
A strongly worded denunciation targets Republicans and McKinley tariff policy. The piece argues protective legislation inflates some industries, harms others, and destabilizes the national economy, linking silver purchases and the 1893 panic to protectionist betrayals and currency manipulation.
On the Wing and the Bluffton Railroad Hopes
The long disputed Cincinnati Union City Chicago line may advance soon as mortgage records surface. The Big Four seeks the outlet from Union City via Portland and Bluffton toward the sea, strengthening through traffic and regional gains. A 1890 Harrison township aid of 38300 remains unsettled by levy timing, with law clarifying conditions for continued eligibility.

New Gravel Roads Proposed in Chester Township
Petitions seek two new gravel roads in Chester township. One starts at the B. F. Starr place in Liberty township and runs six miles south through Keystone to the Blackford county line. A second four mile road ends at the northwest corner of section 27. A third petition from J J Mounsey of Liberty township requests a road east from the Huntington county line to intersect Liberty Center road. Neighbors from Liberty Center Gavin and Salimonie gravel roads support the plan, hoping reciprocity for shared interests.
