Messrs Frost and Kimes have YER
appropriately named their new -four
ing establishment in this place "Cen
tennial Mills" as no pains or ex-
pense has been spared to make it in
every respect first class. All the, ap.
purtenances and machinery, except
engine, being new new throughout
"A brief description may not be out OF
place. The remodeling of the mill to
conform to its present use has been
under the supervision of a skilled mill
wright, Mr.. Joseph Housel, assisted
by snch competent workmen as O..
Hopkins, N. White aud d. Cunning
ham; and whether one looks at the
curbs of the fine French Bur mill
stones the towering bolts and capaci-
GUS bins, or the network of tubes and
otherer appliances, he cannot fail to
be persuaded that it has been well
done. A marked feature of the entire
machinery is its almost noiseless mo-
ton, with hardly a perceptiblc jar or
tremor throughout the building. 1t
is furnished with all the modern i'm.
proved appliances, including a Cali.
fornia Shutter and Separator, an i'm.
proved apparatus for refining and add
ing to the faour the shorts or mid
dlings, not only increasing the guam
tity but also improving its quality.
The total cost of the work has been
about five thousand dollars. The
have not only given en-
ployment to number of hands for
several months past, but will continue
to have in their pay, reliable men
whose exclusive business it will be to
run the mill. A thoroughgoing prac-
|ical miller, Mr.. W. X. Fisher, from
Cleveland, attends to the various pro-
cesses in his department from that re-
luired for crude corn "cob and all" to
Inc reduction of wheat to No. arti-
Gle of NNN family -four. Having
used the latter in our family, we know
we affirm in saying that it
be excelled. Mr.. Ii. =. Cook,
of Freedom, acts as fireman
and engineer, and no one will be dis
posed to question the statement that
knowing his business, he attends to it
IN the strictest manner.
Having incurred heavy outlay,
he owners are of course, desirous ofa
suitable return for their investment.
In order to secure this result the es-
abIishment must be run to the extent
'f its capacity, which is said to be so

lours. Thus a market for the grain of
armers is at once established; people
will come this way for grinding or to
'ell grain, and will, naturally enough,
,ay out some money here, provided
hey can do as well as elsewhere. This
hould encourage orr tradesmen and
nt Chanics to continue liberal policy
II the future, in accordance with the
Ian they have generally pursued in
he past.
