paws the demand of the milkman from

Rain and rest last week gave us an op-
portunity to shake the hands Of many of
The farmers around Bolton. They are
making up lost time this week. Hardly

fellow, "mumps." My! what fat time

brs. Harris, Holcomb and Todd are

The Directors of the Oil Mill met with
special commission of three experienced
mill men invited here to aid the Bolton
Directors in perfecting some important
portion Of their plans for building and
operating. These gentlemen, experts,
from North Carolina, Georgia and South
Carolina, soon reviewed the plans; and,
among other valuable suggestions in con-
nection with their decisions on points
referred to thom, set forth the practical adj
yantages Of changing the location from
the site first selected to that now occupied
by the mill of Rice Bros, and further ad-
vised purchasing the mill property at
price that the Company could afford to
give, and Rice Bros. to take. The Direc-
tors purpose in having this commission
was to become so we'll posted as to be
able to guard against mistakes that might
be detrimental to the interests of the mill.
The commission so strongly advising the
change Of site and purchase, the Directors,
after duly considering the matter, decided
to adopt the suggestions; and later agreed
with Rice Bros. on terms for the purchase.
The transaction will be fully settled when
ratified by the stockholders, which, no
doubt, will be done at the meeting called
for that purpose next Saturday.
