E. A. Bratton and Henry Packard
intend spending this month from Hart
ley's mills to the mouth Of Racc9on,
taking stock. We hope the citizens
along the line will assist all in their
power to take the necessary amount OF
stock to complete the improvement the
first sixty miles. This Will ensure sue
cess to the navigation, and will most
certainly double the value of the prop
erty along our valley. We are credi-
bly, informed that the real estate on
Raccoon, that could have been bought
for fifteen dollars per acre one year ago,
the owners now refuse thirty dollars
per acre for the same, yet these men re-
fuse to subscribe twenty-five per cent.
of the advance to the Navigation Co.
If this improvement fails now, the peo-
pie will regret it, hence every man
should do all in his power to push on
the work.-Zaleski Echo.
AS we have no reason to expect any
help from the Legislature, the friends
of this improvement, if they wish to see
it succeed, must take hold of it with
their private means. and pu tit through.
1t is an important measure, not only to
the more immediate interests of Rae
coon valley, but to this entire section,
and we hope to see it made success.

~Lawrence and Scioto COZ


~ Lawrence and Scioto counties
are engaged in constructing good
turnpike roads on all the important
thorough-fares leading to their re-
spective county towns. Why cannot
Gallia county do something in this
way? IF we cannot have railroad,
then let us do the next best thing,
construct good turnpike roads. 1t
seems to us that 100000 expended
in this way, would prove profitable
to both town and country. We hope
to hear of movement of this char
.acter being made.

Messrs. Stout, Mills d Temple.-Gents-We
are using three Of your American Turbine
Water Wheels, which we have put il
our Mill within the last eighteen months
We consider them as being the best wheels
in use. We can grind cut forty barrels OF
-four per day to each wheel with five foot head
and fall, which is four times the quantity we
could make with any ordinary wheel As
for strength we have tested them thoroughly,
having had them stopped several times by
hard pieces of wood getting in them, but
never breaking them in the least. In conelu-
sion we will say that they fully fill the bill
as represented to US before purchasing.
Yours truly,
