Nun Sed.-Evcry body knows that flour is an
article that cannot be dispensed with, no mat
ter what else in the way of provisions may be
wanting but If the flour is not of best quality
no person wants TO buy it, and hence it would
be folly for E. j. Mills to deal in any but gen.
uine article. such as he is always prepared to
furnish at all times and at the very lowest mar
ket rates. There is no doubt about getting the
best flour from Mills, for he deals exclusively in
first class brands and warrants all he sells. Buy
your -four and feed from Mills.
