WE often wonder if the farmers of
this vicinity fully appreciate the BEN
eft that the new roller process mills
are to them, by the increased capacity
for grinding and the consequent home
demand for wheat that they make.
By selling to the mills, they receive
city prices, less the freight, and
thereby save percentage and guaran-
tee, which, on large crops, are no
mean items. Take a glance at the
work now being done by the
Marshall Mills" and it is evident
that their success is a grand thing for
this community. In one day this
week, these mills shipped sixty-three
barrels TO points south of Milford, on
the D. NJ. q V. Railroad, and filled
orders in Milford for their regular
trade. On the following day thirty
one barrels were shipped into Sussex
county and other orders were received
from points north of us, that required
twenty barrels more. The demand
for middlings is nearly up to the
mills capacity, and the bran trade is
far i'm excess. DIR. Marshall has run
the mill eighteen hours per day, and
If his trade increases in the future as
it has in the past three months, it will
necessitate a steady run, from Monday
morning until Saturday night. An
other thing has been clearly demon
strated to the growers, and that is,
that the "fultz " variety must go, and
that the "lopgberry red" will COM
mand at least ten cents per bushel
more. Another item Of no small mo-
ment 10 the farmer also, and that is
the immediate exchange of all his
grain for -four, meal, etc, on delivery,
thus saving time, which to him is
money, and the exchanged product,
far superior in quality and wholesome
ness to the old methods, devoid as it
is ofall dirt and foreign matter, which
in stone grinding is mingled with the
-four.
With a capacity of 65 barrels per
day on full time, or the reduction of
three hundred and twenty-five bushels
of wheat per day, all the wheat raised
in this vicinity can be used at this
mill, and all freights and commissions
saved.

owner insisted, and employed sur
vevor OF his own account, The sur

They Come Our way.

The best evidence of the prosper
ity of any section of country is the
| fact of its being known and hon
ored in other places. The great
caterers to the amusement-loying
public are the first to find success
full and prosperous localities in
which to cast their lines. The
knowledge of this, and the fact that
the very creates: show on earth is
coming to Carson on June 23rd, is
hattering to our people here. The
great show We refer to is S. H. Bar
rett & Co.'S Colossal United Rail-
road Shows. Every wonder, new
and strange, known or conceivable,
from the arenic and geological
world, and the greatest and rarest
curiosities of nature and art. are to
be found in that vast city of canvas.
It is show that compliments us
by coming, and one in every way
worthy Of an unprecedented patron
age. Look out for their advertise
ments in future issues. 1t is the
only big show coming this way
and its name is Barrett.
By special and extraordinary ef
fort the services of Mr.. Jas. Robin
son have been secured for the Bar
rett Confederation for this year,
which will positively be the last
riding year Of Mr.. Robinson, that
gentleman having retired to lux
ury on a princely fortune, His
salary this year is greater than
President Cleyeland's. He leads
the 200 stars, and such names as
Miss Emma Lake, Mr.. Robert
Stickney, Mr.. JAS. Stow, Mr.. VIM
H. German, the Melrose Troupe,
the Macart Family aud nearly 2G0
others comprise that list.
This show is undoubtedly the
largest, greatest, and by all means
the best travelling. 1t combines
with its own vast proportions of
arenic srlendors and its great mem
agerie, a large elevated stage, a
grand racing carnival, an Arabian
circus, the Imperial Circus of
japan, a wonderful museum of rare
and curiosities, and
many features entirely new to the
show world. Our people will do
we'll not to miss it. See advertise

Yesterday morning Jacob Strait
a black smith in the V. & L. foundry
had leg broken by having six iron
frogs fall upon him. 1t appears
that the supports under the frogs
had rotted, and he walked in be-
tween them to pry one off, when
the mass CT iron settled and fell on
him. The iron frogs weigh about
eight hundred pounds apiece, and
as they came down upon his leg he
uttered cry Of pain which brought
his fellow workmen to the spot. 1t
was evident that in few moments
the man might be killed when four
men, Steve Miller, James Denning,
Tory Fredricks and NJ. Farrell
threw themselves under the ends of
the frogs, and by tremendous lift
with their back, raised the mass off
their fellow workman. 1t was the
grandest lift ever recorded in the
shops, and seems to haye been ac-
complished in a moment of supreme
energy, and frenzied excitement.
When Strait was dragged out it was
found that his left leg was crushed
in two, between the knee, and he
was removed to his residence in
wagon. DIR. Lee set the leg.
