Mrs. Carpenter arrived from st. Paul
yesterday
/ Certain gentlemen OF this city, who al
present do SOt desire their names pub
lished, are contemplating the erection Of
a 30-barrel Touring mill in this town, in
the near future. That this scheme will
materialize, is the wish OF all. A mill
located in our midst will be of incalcul-
able advantage to the town. It will
bring the farmers in from miles around
and give them an opportunity to sci
their grain ct the regular market price
Our merchaats will reap great beaeftl
from it, as well. Let the good work g.
on.
