pointed by tho Secretary of War,
upon tho recommendation of Hon,
Lcgrand w. Pierce, has arrived at

now drill with the whito cadets until
tho examination on tho Gath of July.
Then ho will fail in mental cxumina.

SUCCESS THE BEST EVIDENCE OF
MERir:"-This is applicable especially
to mills and millers, and to Judge by
this rule, Wilson's Now Mill is first
class. Tho many customers to the
mill from every section can testify to
this fact, and now when our people
arc "casting about" to determine what
mill to send their new crop to, VIC
would advise our readers to bear this
mill in mind. TO havo tho good lady
of tho house we'll pleased, and to have
good and healthy bread, it is ncccssa,
ry to havo good flour. We see nc
reason why our people should stop at
tho nearest mill, when they can "go
a little farther and faro much better'
at Wilson's Now Mill. Beautifu
white -four is pleasing to the eye and
agreeable to the tnste. 1t is alway4
