These mills are now being thoroughly
epaired and fitted up with new and
splendid machinery. We propose that
our flour shall take a high standin all the
markets of the country. BY the 10Th
or 18th of August we expect to have the
work completed.
We respectfully call the attention of
Farmcrsand Grain Dealers to these mills,
where they will find as good a market
tor their wheat as in the East or South.
Ii the farmer or dealer prefers tn have
his crop of wheat ground rather than
sell at home we will do it IN the mos ap
proved manner and warrant satisfaction
in any market.
IL desired, we will furnish barrels or
bags, tor such grindings and at the low
est pr'ces.
Those who place wheat In these mills
TO be ground for shipment will have the
Hour put In the Depot here Tree OF cost
TO themselves.
From u experience we deem Il best
not TO grind wheat In snlall quantities.
as 1t very greatly interferes with i rcgu-
lar manufacturing business, but will at
all times exchange floor and offal for
such lots of wheat in a satifaetory way.
This, too, viii be found. ON actual trial
to iacilitate the farmers interest, not
only In the quantity and quality of the
work but largely a saving of time over
the usual way Of milling.
We urge upon tho farmers the prime
Importance of having all wheat dry aud
clean.
We invite all b give us a call.
We pay CASH for wheat; aud furnish
sacks free.

Enterprise VS.. Caution.

We always admired energy. perseverance
or enterprise in individuals, and consider it
vastly more conmendable in a man who has
the management of newspaper. A plucky
editor Is Mcclure of the DardaneIle In
pendent and he publishes wide.awake pa
per We also deemed him to be an out and
out-Garland man. and warm friend of the
Governor. and our readers can judge Of our
surprise on taking mp the last Independent, to
see, standing out in bold relief dismally
poor picture Of the Governor. If it was a
correct picture. its presentati on to the public,
would be very proper, but why such ridic-
ulous libel upon the bright. handsome. intel
ligent face of our noble governor should be
thus thrown out upon the State and coun-
try must acknowledge our inability to fatl-
ON. We are inclined to the belief that some
wa1gish :ype-founder has prsetised ali ,mpo-
sition upon the Independent man. and palm
ed off on him the picture of another individu-
al altogether. Now woul1 it not be better to
publish no picture of beloved and promi-
nent man, than to flood the country with In
correct and uncomplimentary ones? Our ad :
vice to newspapers is, not to publish pictures
unless, in the first place they resemble the
person intended to be represented. and in the
second place, unless such publication is agree
able to the persons that are TINS pictured.

allelI's Rri.afIe,

We find the following letter in the Hot
Springs Telegraph, addressed to its editor,
Col. John N. IIarrell. The proposition ia 4
good enc. and we have no doubt would be
generally acquiesced in by the members OF
the brigade. And we will suggest that Col
Harrell be invited to prepare history and
address OF the Cabell Brigade, and deliver the
same on the occasion. One ahler and better
qualified for the task, We opinc, will not be
found.
The following note from our old friend Gen
Anderson Gordon, will explain itself.

point We may select. Now, it would, have
no doubt be source OF pleasure to ysu, as
well ~ myself to have our old army friends
meet with ua for day or two, and talk over
over old times. Gen. Cabcll suggests Clarks-
vile. Dirdanelle. Lewisburg or Little Rock.
as the place for the meeting would say
Lewisburg. as the nearest point for the brig
ade, and would. thereby, tender to our friends
the hospitalities of the town. Please let me
hear from you at your earliest convenience,
on the subject, and oblige your friend.
