"A PRETTY BIO MILL. ]
" Proposition to Put In a
Whopper on Camas
Prairie"

Parties, whose names were not
learned, but who purport to rep
resent a company OF capitalists
having in view the establishment
of 200-barrel roller process
flour mill at a point on the prai-
RE not yet determined, were in
Denver this week interviewing a
number of our business men.
Their proposition is to get guar
antee donation of 100000 bushels
of wheat from the farmers of the
prairie, then by vote determine
the location of the mill; in other
words, the farmers are asked to
build the mill and give $4,000
bushels Of wheat additional, when
said company of capitalists will
kindly take hold and run the
mill for them. It is proposed to
freight the immense amount of
flour annually ground by this
mill by teams to railroad points
where it will be put on the mar
ket at competitive prices along
with the product Of other mills.
Denver seldom misses a chance
to secure big enterprises, but the
proportions Of this gigantic
scheme are too far skyward for
her humble OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Tribune.
At the public meeting in Cot
tonwood one of the gentlemen of
the syndicate above referred TO,
complimented Denver by the lib
eral proposition made by that
townsite company if the propos-
ed mill could be located there,
and will enable our farmers (tak-
ing the report made by the Tri-
bune as being correct) to see how
readily the people of that berg
would attempt to gull the farm
ers providing they found it to
their interests. A, T. Spotswood
OF the Denver Townsite Company
made the following proposition
to the mill men in question
when they visited the town at
the time above referred to:
owe (Denver) will give you a
site Of forty acres Of land, $4,000
in cash, guarantee to deliver to
you the 40 gallons per minute of
water that yon desire, and fur
Their, you need do nothing toward
raising the subsidy, but sit in our
office and WE WILL GET OUT AND
RAISE THE SUBSIDY FOR YOU"
The gentlemen thanking them
for their offer, reported that they
were unable to accept same as
there was not only no guaranteed
water in sight, but fuel would
cost too much to be delivered at
Denver. Brother editor, bear in
mind the fable of "The fox and
the grapes and remember that
Consistency, thou art a virtue"
The gentlemen referred to, have
set no amount of the subsidy de-
sired. but have simply asked the
farmers to plant sufficient wheat
to guarantee them 100000 bush
els to grind and to give what
they feel justified in giving to-
ward the subsidy, in wheat, land,
cash, lumber, wood, ETC., etc. All
who have heard their proposition
do not hesitate to recognize the
fairness of the same, and are
subscribing accordingly,

90" With sincere sorrow we announce
the sad and sudden death, on Monday last,
of little Eugene Flynn, aged years, an
interesting son Of our friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
d. c. Flynn, now of Augusta.
Mrs. Flynn and her five sweet children
were visiting her relatives here, and all in
perfect health until about midnight Sunday,
when Eugene was suddenly taken i'll with
cholera iufantum. Medical skill was prompt
ly called. and every effort that mothers
love could prompt was devoted TO the little
sufferer, but all of no avail; the dread
archer had marked him for his own, and at
o'clock Monday evening his spirit mounted
to its everlasting home among the angels in
heaven.
Mr.. Flynn arrived here Sunday evening,
on his way North, on business, intending TO
leave the next day, but finding the child
so sick, he remained and had the sad conso-
lation Of being present at the death of his
dearly loved bsy. May God bless the be-
reayed parents.

Ba5- The report of the Presiden Of the
Union Oil Mill and Manufacturing Co., at
the annual meeting Of the stockholders last
week was very satisfactory. A handsome
dividend was declared, and the business OF
the company was found to be in q very
healthy condition, with future prospects
fully as bright, if not brighter than at any
time since its organization.
The management of its atfairs tho past
year has been admirable, Consequently all
the old officers, with w. f.. Thomson at the
head, as President were unanimously re-
elected.
In this connection we are pleased to be
able to state with great confidence that the
fertilizer manufactured by the Union Oil and
Fertilizer Co., stands "A No. J." with those
farmers who have used it. IL is honestly
made, therefore, when honestly tested, al
ways gives most satisfactory results, and
grows in favor year after year. The great
fear has been, whether the company would
be able to supply the increased demand for
it next year; but we are glad to see that the
seed warehouse has been gre,tly enlarged,
which will enable it to buy and store nearly
double the quantity Of seed it has here
tofore stored, which means nearly doub,
the quantity of honest, homemade fertilizer
and higher price for cotton seed. for the
farmers Of Union county next year, at the
Union Oil Mill.

FOR The LINES.
Friendly Suggestions to the Council.

MR.. EDIToR:-It must he gratifying 10
the taxpayers Of our town to see the busi-
ncss-like way in which the present Council
have entered upon the discharge Of. their
official duties. Owiag to the low state of
the treasury many needed and contemplated
improvements will, am informed, have TO
wait until the money is in hand to do the
work. 1t is very evident they mean to dis
charge the duties imposed upon them with
out fear or favor, aud they will doubtless
require every citizen to do the same.
We will venture to make o sugges tion,
and hope it will be received in the same
kindly spirit that it is given. We refer to
the manner in which the streets are worked.
1t is not only unsightiy and slovenly, but
most uncomfortable to ride over q number
Of our streets since they have been recently
worked. There is no effort made to gather
up the rank weeds that have been cut dow n,
Ufrr rSuey~PorQeewe IN the street to decay /;
neither are the clods of clay and the stones
smoothed over, but allowed to lie in heaps
as thrown from the shovels Of the laborers.
In number Of instances the streets have
been made more disagreeable than before
they were worked.
That the town has been improved in ap-
pearance Since the heavy growth of weeds
that had sprung up after the rains have
peen cut down none can deny.
Now, gentlemen, remove the decavino
vegetable matter and smooth out the rough
places; and we know no more economical
way Of doing beautiful street work than by
using the road machine and roller, bought
by the Council for that purpose, and which
was worked so satisfactorily few years ago,
by our townsman, James Grant, and YOU
will have the "well done" of every good
citizen. MAoA1.S
