was an exemplary man, citizen and brother.
He was loved and respected by all who knew
him, and in him society has lost an ornament,
its most faithful members, having failed but
once in twenty years to attend church on q
regular meeting day, and that once he was
confined to his bed. His remains were laid
away to rest in the Greenton cemetery, fol-
lowed by a funeral procession of six hundred
people. The funeral services were conducted
by Elder Burnham, of Centralia, No. His
mourning children and friends have the con-
ISOLATION ofknowing that he is enjoying the re-
ward of a true Christian. Mr., Gibbs died
suddenly. He rose early in the morning,
breakfastea, and was preparing to go to town
to meet the preacher. He was sitting in his
chair near the fire, when he fell and almost
instantly expired. DR.. Wood was called but
life was extinct long before he got to see
him.
Lafayette" writes from Aullville this ac-
count of the fine new Touring mill there
"Capt. John Brown 4 Co. have nearly com
| pleted their large five story frame Touring mill
here. The contractors of this grand struc-
ture with its machinery are Messrs. Nordyke,
Marmon & Co., Indianap olis, Ind. They are
said to be the best firm of mill builders and
furnishers of machinery for manufacturing
-four in America. Mr.. E. Hatch, of Grand
Rapids, Michigan, is superintendent Of the
building Of the Brown & Co. mill, and nc
doubt it is the best built mill in the western
country. This structure is built of the very
best material, the timbers are all of choice
clear yellow pine and white oak, the work
manship on the building is perfect from thu
foundation or bed rock to the top. Every
joint, brace, mortise, fitting in the most com
plete and workmanlike style. Mr.. Hatch
the superintendent, is one of the best ant
most faithful mill builders in the world. Hi
hands under him on this building are all su-
perior mechanics. He gave employment t,
none but the very best workmen. All tn
work on this building was done precisely q
Mr.. Hatch directed, and therefore it may b.
said with certainty that the building ia tn,
best built mill in the state Of Missouri, ant
will stand until Gabriel blows his trumpet, /
not burnt down. Mr.. NJ. NJ. Leash is super
intendent of machinery and millwrlght work
and is now receiving the machinery which i
of the best and latest improved character TO
manufacturing the finest quality OF role
flour. The mill when completed will cos
about twenty-five thousand dollars. 1t
capacity will be one hundred and fifty barrel
per day. The owners of this magnifcen
mill are determined to put on the market tn
finest and best quality of flour that has eve
been made since Adam was a little boy. The
intend to stand at the head of any or all othe
mills in manufacturing a finer quality {
flour, for this mill has an advantage over an
other mill in the west, being located in til
best wheat growing section known. TIL
wheat raised in the Aullville section of th
> country has for many years taken all I'll
, premiums for the best quality in the st. Lou
. market. Mr.. Editor you see that Aullvill
is rising up, like Phoenix from her ashes an
! will spread her wings over this western coul
. try in furnishing it with the finest -four TIL
ever has been put in q loaf Of bread or viii
cake. The ladies' are beginning to rejoice
= anticipation of soon having -four that wi
= make nice white rolls without the use Of yea
or Soda"
