MILLS IN PARIS.

One hundred years ago March 9TH, tn,
hrst effective steps were taken by the pro
prietors OF this township for the building
OF mills therein.
Lemuel Jackson on the Que part and 8
committee OF the proprietors on the other
on March eth, 1888, closed the contrac
for their construction - Jackson giving
bond to keep the mills in repair ten years
and 10 saw at certain rates, etc.-the com
mittee Nathaniel Stone, David Sanger
and Aaron richardson agreeing to pay
Jackson $500 lin Siirer Money" on the
completion Of the sac mill, and the same
amount on the completion OF the grist mill,
aud also deed him the mill lot" end four
other lots held in common.
These mills were built on Stony Brook
the saw mill above the bridge that crosses
Royals mill pond, aud the grist mill below
the bridge The saw mill was built In the
summer OF 1888 aud the srist mill In the
summer Of 1884. In the winter following,
Jackson gave his receipt in .f,.U for Gas
SlJ0-and took his deeds.
The mills were built more for the pur-
pose Of procuring the settlement OF the
towuship-ths beiug = condition of the
grant,-rather than any demand OF the
settlers, FOR at that date March, 1888, }
the families could all be counted on the tin-

The Women of the South.

w. Quad, in Detroit Free Press.
Whenever the dcmagoguc of northern
politics grows weary of kuklux in the
South, he assails Southern women lie
claims that they were enthusiastic over
secession, encouraged rebellion, and
that they still hate the Yankee" with
II bitterness almost personally danger
ons. The first part of the charge is
truc-the latter an outrageous SANDER.
Modern history cannot name a war in
which the wives and daughters of an
army were more enthusiastic and self
sacrificing. TO the men of the South
the war was the solution of II political
problem. To the women it seemed an
attempt of the North to conquer and
desnlate the country. They firmly and
earnestly believed that the South had
long been oppressed, and that the wan
was to further abridgc rights and liber.
ties. Believing thus, it may be safely
asserted that nineteen ont of every
twenty women in the South were Tro
JAMS III their courage, Spartans in their
iortltude, and Romans in their faith and
sell.sacrliice. Husbands and fathers
and brothers were made ready for war
and given woman's blessing, and even
had the Confederate conscription acl
been less stringent, the able bodied man
who shrked military service could not
have lived ut home for the taunts of the
women.

The young man then stated his point in
plain and condensed English. The idea
then struck me when would it be posi-

nent to look for II speedy reform; ON
he contrary he irrcverenlly said that
he verbiage of the law was as necessary
o the existence of Il lawyer us the
lummery of some religions was to the
nccess Of its advocates and ministers.
