Our people are naturally quite 1ubilant over
the starting w Of such an industry, and well
they may be, for flour mill is something long
needed in this section OF country. At present
there is no mill nearer than Mayvil!e. dist
ancc Of thirty-two miles. and our ,nili will

town which hasheretofore gone to other towns
at even further distance. and will fill a long
felt want.
The Hope Roller Mills arc particularly
adopted to custom grinding, and will make

with the best improved machinery known as

men did the best stroke Of business in tiei
lives when by patient effort and untirin!
