Several letters have come out iu the Char
lottesvlle papers recently in regard to estab-
llsblug a h)uring-mill at Shldwell station,
on the Newport News and Mississippi.N Nal-

expect that this very much.needed improve
ment will shortly be made. The place Is eX-
cellcutly suited for the purpose, situated as
It is on the banks Oi the Rlyauna river, while
the railroad runs through the heart OF the
village. The water-power afforded is all that
couid be desired.
