THE CITY MILLS.
An Enterprise That is Of Mul /
Value to Clarksville.
The Mills Running Both Day and Might
and Turning Out o Fine Quality
Of Flour.

| Very few people have any idea Of
the extent and magnitude of one of
Clarksville's most extensive enter
prises and one which the city and
the tributary country could scarcely
do without.
The LEAF-CHRoNICLE has often
spokel of Clarksville's advantages
and c.' the ease with which 1t could
be made most extensive grain
market, almost to rival its enviable
reputation as a tobacco market.
Mes srs. Rabbeth q Dunlop are
working with this end in view and
are doing their utmost to make
Clarxsville the grain market for this
section. Since the 10Th of July this
enterprising firm have received by
rail alone one hundred cars. OF wheat,
and this represents only portion Of
their purchase already made. In.ad-
dition TO this a great deal of wheat
has been received by wagons from
the near vicinity of Clarksville and
from points remote from the rail-
roads. 1t is no uncommon thing to
see from fifteen to twenty wagons
standing on Front street, all loaded
with wheat. All this represents
money which is to be expended here
among the merchants.
Messrs. Rabbeth & Dunlop, as
many of our readers know, have Just
completed the erection of new and
larger plant, situated on the railroad,
but or account of being so far behind
in their orders they cannot afford TO
stop s'inning long enough to move to
their new quarters. They are now
running night and day from Monday
morning till Saturday midnight, and
cannot begin to fill their orders for
-four. Their daily output Is
over zoo barrels Of -four. They ship
from one to three cars per day to
southern markets, where they have
met with much encouragement, their
flour taking high grade and giving
perfect satisfaction. They now have
over 5000 barrels sold for August and
September delivery
Their home trade is also very large
and steadily increasing. Every
grocery merchant In the city and
suburbs, both wholesale and retail,
handle, their -four in large or small
quantities and 1t is giving much sat-
isfaction and growing more popular.
There is no -four sold In Clarksville
which, excels their Patent Flour in
any way.
They buy only the best and driest
wheat, have all the latest improved
machinery and one of the most com.
petent millers in the South, which
enable them to make and sustain
this high reputation for their flour.
They only ask from the house-keep-
ers ard cooks fair trial for them to
be convinced.
Besides flour they make and have
fJr sale at all times the best
boltcd corn-meal, which, as they
grind every day, Is always pure and
fresh.
Their COW food, or chop, a mixture
Of bran, corn, oats and cotton seed
meal In proper proportion, is the
finest food for stock OF all kinds. All
the large livery stables in the city
'eed this l,rgely, and find 1t the best
and cheapest food they can use.
Every one Who has cow should feed
IN this, rs II produces not only flesh,
but Increases the amount OF milk
more than any other feed.
Another and more direct way In
which Messrs. Rabbeth & Dunlop
benefit the city and community Is
with their weekly payroll. At pres.
ent this Is $3.50 per week, every cent
OF W aich is spent right here In Clarks-
Vile, This, of itself, is no small item.
Our people should patronize and
foster this enterprise in every way
possible, and contribute by every way
In their power to their already as
surel success.
With few more such enterprises,
aud conducted by such men, the
future " Clarksville MS steadily
growing, Important city, will soon
ha a souraI
