ufacture of sorghum from sugar cane.
He has a sorghum mill with a capac-

or eighteen hundred gallons per day.
He has three hundred acres of sugar
cane and one hundred acres Of corn
now in the ground undergoing cult
walton, besides which he expects to
have a thousand bushels Of cane seed
that will market at from 81. 80 to $500
per bushel; thus Mr.. Berry is a pub

Donald Mcdonald, Of this place,
says a sugar mill at Phillipsburg
would be nearly as great a benefit to
our town and county as a college.
