manner. Not only is 1t found difficult to
satisfy the local demand for flour, but
large orders from outside points are

crease their quarters and add to their
capital stock. The enterprise was
made Mt time when considerable
chances had to be taken, and its legiti-
mate success will be a source of gratiti-
cation TO all who wish our town well.
