completed their new and commodious ware
house and elevator, which is three stories
high and 140 feet in length by 36 feet in
width and well ventilated throughout. The
building, which IS connected with the mill
and stands Immediately on the W. 81 A.
Railroad, presents not only handsome APP
pearance, but is without exaggeration one
of the most substantial and commodiously
arranged edifices ever erected 10 the South.
Mr.. T. H. Cheek, the superintendent, has
given his personal supervision to the work.
The basement story, which is used for coal,
is built of rock and the two upper stories OF
best river brick, and the roof covered with
iron and fire proof The floor Of the second
story is even with railroad and will be used
for general storage, and the third story for
grain in the bulk. The capacity of the
warehouse is 100000 bushels of wheat
They are now receiving and storing about
5, 600 bushels best Kentucky wheat per day.
Running on full time, that is day and night,
they are turning out out 300 barrels per
