Farmers FIGURING Mill.

The farmers of the Kinickinic valley, and
also of Hudson and other places, have in
view the construction of a Farmers Flour
ing Mill somewhere on the Kiniekinic,
between Hudson and River Falls. The
reason of this move is caused by the ex-
trayagant toll charged by the millers,
and because they will not put their brand
on The flour manufactured for the farm
err. If a farmer takes thousand bush
els of wheat to any mill in this vicinity
now, he must pay one hundred and TWEEN
ty five bushels for toll. and cannot receive
the brand mark of the mill on the balance
which renders it difficult for the farmer
to dispose of it at fair rates. To remedy
this evil some of our most substantial
men in Hudson, Troy and Malone, pro-
pose to organize stock company, with
capital sufficient to build good mil, the
shares to be sold at 800 each.
This, in our judgment, is an enterprise
of considerable Importance, and one wor-
thy the aid and influence of every citizen
in the county. If it is built, it will be
the means of benefitting not only the pro-
ducer, but the consumer, and we are in
formed that there are many who will at
once subscribe enough to construct tho
MILL
We say ..let tho good work go ou."-
Hhero is nothing like competition, and we
presume that this will be a paying invest
ment to the stockholders.
We would suggest this; Would it not
be a good idea % erect this mill in Hud-
son; it would be more central, convenient
for farmers when coming to town to leave
their grain, and as paying institution
would have the benefit of a much more
extended patronage than if built upon the
Kinickinic. Notice of meeting ofthose
interested viii be given soon.-Hadsoaa
Star.
Whether there is necessity for such a
mill we do not know, but if one is to be
built, River Falls is clearly the place to
have it located. We know there is good
deal of dissatisfaction because millers will
not always put their brand on custom
ioar. Atour request one of the millers
OF this place gives the following reasons
why this is not done: E

quired whether be should consent to be
come their candidate for the u. s. Sen
ate, assuring him that he could be very
easily elected if he would permit his name
to be used by the party The Doctor,
after thanking them for the honor inten.
ded to be conferred upon him, said to
them, in his oracular style.
"Gentlemen, I believe you are in the
habit, when you give up an office to seek
another, of aiming to go up higher; are
you not ?"
They all replied in the affirmative.
"Well then" said he, sit is a high
honor. and a very honorable Office, to rep
resent the State Of Virginia in the U. s.
Senate, but it is a much higher one to be
An ambassador of Christ to dying sinners,
and I can't come down from a minister of

He magnifed his Office, as did Paul,
aud SO should every other man who bears
it in his person, and if be does not do it,
he should give it to men who will fulfill
its duties and properly appreciate its dig
mites. Let those preachers who so long
who so long to be politicians, quit the cal
ling they arc ashamed of, and take the one
they like the best.
