A New Roller MIN at Cedar Greek.

The famous old "Cedar Creek Mills, "
once the property Of Governor Hazlett,
have just been improved by the putting
in of an entirely new roller flour mill OF
the latest improved type, including the
first gyratiug scalper aud sitter on the
whole Delaware and Maryland Peninsula.
This system is claimed to be a great i'm
provement in boiling over the old reel
method in that it makes a cleaner and
better flour and more of it. The -four

THERE is not much doubt about the
greater part, at least, of the peach crop
being sold aud bought at this station.
One local buyer that we know of has
arrangements already to buy from five
to eight cars day and this same agent
is now in correspondence with at least a
dozen others who NAV become buyers at
this depot. Growers must put their fruit
up nicely with their names upon the
packag and if the fruit is offered at
che depot ia this manner buyers will take
it al ssT prices that will satisfy growers.
The men Tho pack their fruit in the most
attractive mani er are the ones who will
find ready sales'for the same. The best
way to make fruit attr active is to put it
up in carriers aud we hope growers will
arrange 10 do this, and if they do there is
not any question about finding q market
for all that is offered at paying prices.
These carriers can be found on sale with
the agents right here in Milford, and NJ,
Joseph E. Holland is now showing sam
pies and taking orders for half dozen
different carriers, all of which are good.
There promises to be a scarcity of pack
ages of all kinds and those who are wise
will place their orders now before the rise
in price.
