A Big Industry for Staunton.

The organization Of the Staunton Steam
Roller Mill Company has been noticed.
The company has purchased from Mr.. Jas.
II. Blackley his two buildings opposite the
Chesapeake & Ohio freight depot, and will
fit up the rear one of the two for the mill,
while the front one will be used as the COM
panys business and storage house. The
house will be run up a story with man.
sard front and a regular mill roof on it.
! The roller-process machinery which has
been purchased for $4,000 will be driven
by 1O1 n. P engine, and it is expected
that the mill will be in operation by the
18th of February and will turn out 200 bar
rels Of -four day.
This is one of the most solid business en-
terprises that has been inaugurated in this
section, and is not at all in the speculative
line The capital which has a minimum of
100000 and maximum of $50, 900, is made
in shares of $500 each, so that it may be
held by solid business men and by solid
farmers only. Every man engaged in run
ming the business of the company will be a
shareholder. When it is remembered that
| there is not roller-mill in Rockbridge and
only one in Rockingham, it will be seen
| that the field from which this mill will
draw it's wheat is an extensive and certain
one The company will secure as manager
MI. w. H. Hill, now manager of the Dan
vile mills, who has had large experience
and is widely known to Southern flour

holder.
| The character of the gentlemen who COM
pose the company aid the wide field
for the operation of it's mill, has given
the stock such high standing that
but a few shares are yet lacking to
make the maximum. The fact that nearly
every man in the company is familiar with
the business, either as a practical miller
Oh wheat and flour merchant, with their
| high standing in the commercial cOmmu-
nifty, has made the stock popular from the
| first. DR.. J. I. Triplett of Mt. Jackson,
the President of the company, has three
mills in operation in Shenandoah-one at
| Woodstock, one at Edinburg and one at
| Mt. Jackson. He is also President Of the
| Mt. Jackson bank. Mr.. J. A. Fauver, the
| Vice President, is Staunton merchant OF
the highest standing and widest ex-
perience and large dealer in flour. MI.
P. B. Sublett, the Secretary, is the senior
partner Of the well known wheat and -four
dealing firm of P. B. Sublett & Son, a house
that has a large trade in the South and
West. MI. Reeves Gait, the Treasurer is
the President of the Staunton Improvement
Co., and the founder and owner of one of
the largest fertilizer factories in Virginia.
MI. ]. H. Picker is retired merchant of
large experience and with unbounded ener-
gy in any enterprise he may become con-
nected with.
| The enterprise is not only one for profita-

great benefit to Staunton.

quick SALE but there has been no material
advance in prices The offerings have been
very light; indeed it is noticeable this year
that the offerings in this county are all
light is to say, there are very few farm
ers who have as much as car load to sell.
1t takes usually two or more crops to make
out car load-a very unusual state of affairs
for this county.
There is no change in the condition of the
market for hay, corn or oats.

near Gas House Alley, Grover Cleveland
Trumbo, the five year old son of MI. It. J.

mules and was run over. The car wheels
dragged against his leg and breast killing him
instantly. His parents had arrived here from

ker, the coroner, held an inquest and the
verdict OF the jury composed of Messrs. 1.
R. Hartman, Ed. Hail. w. A. Gushing, j.
w. Splitter, c. A. Grafton and w. II. Dor
min, exhonerated the driver from all blame,
as the evidence showed he used every effort
and even threw his CAL off the track trying
to save the child S life.
