Attlca Advocate THE sugar mill is
still running on seconds" We have
tried to find out what the outlook for
the reorganization of the old company
or the formation of a new one is, but
can elicit nothing satisfactory. That
the mill will be operated next season,
we have little doubt, but by whom we
annOt tell"
The coming season, the sugarworks
will probably experiment on what can
be done with the cane pulp. 1t is known
that it will make pGpier mGche, and from
this can be manufactured lumber, bar
rels, buckets, and thousand things.
1t is possible that the company may de-
eide to make its own sugar and syrup
barrels and, maybe, experiment in pa
per making.

ces, conducted by Rev. North, of the

day, when the body was moved to South

Though the freight books at the de-
pot show that there were but twenty
three car loads of flour shipped in here
during the year 1889, well posted gen.
tleman this week told the INDEX that
this did not represent the entire ship
ment, for it is the custom to ship flour
with bran and other cheap feed, the rate
being less than for flour. 1t is proba-
BILE that this town ships in three car
loads, or $4,000 pounds of flour every
month. A good mill here would supply
that demand, and, besides, ship out
hundreds of car loads to the Territory,
Texas, and other places.

it more than any other man in the state.
He is very firm and unyielding In his
