The power used is water, they having
one Of the best sites in town. The mill Is
provided with five Tyler wheels, one for
each run of stone, and one for spare one,

emphatically in his letter to Grover, that he
has no interest in National Banks, "either

official circular sent cut by the Streator Ma
tional Bank soliciting business, that Mr.. F.
PlUmb's name appears In the list of stock
holders of that institution Why is this thus,
Mr.. Plumb That his name Is thus given is
a fact. Now if Mr.. Plumb is mistaken on
