WOODEN MILLS GOING!
Should at Once be Made
to Discourage the Removal.
MUST WE LOSE THE ONLY MANU-.
FEATURING INTEREST IN
THE CITY?
It is Probable that the Mexico Wooden
Mills will be Removed to Alton, Ills.

A report has been going the rounds
for a week or more that the WOODEN
mills were to be moved to Alton, Ill.
The editor of this paper called at the
mill yesterday and interviewed mana
ger Rice. He says he don't know
to a certainty whether the mill will be
moved or not, but will know in a week
or two. The Mexico Wooden Mill
Co. have bought the Alton mills and
we think will move their machinery
from here there. They claim that
coal is cheaper there, water plenty
and freight much cheaper. They
feel badly about the attempt made
last year to virtually close them up
here by the city's move toward re-
f4lsing to ALLOW their waste water to
run off through the branch. An at
tempt should be made to hold this
industry. Fifty hands are employed
now, and if the mill remains it will be
enlarged and 100 hands worked. If
anything a be done to induce the
mill to remain here it should be done
at once; otherwise, we think it will
be removed.

The Rector Bros, of Farber, are

stole a pair of fine mules from Mr..
Sutton who lives near Farber. The
way of the transgressor is hard, -
