The Stone run Newly Refltted.

For some reason unknown, too
much flour is being shipped into this
county from outside points. Our
housekeepers imagine that home
made -four is not, possibly, as good as
that made IN foreign mills. Every
dollar sent out of the county is a dol
lar lost, The situation, however, is
about to be changed, as our local
millers are arranging to keep abreast
OF the new improvements being made
in the manufacture Of flour. The
other day a HERALD reporter was
down in Deer Greek, and while there
made a call at the old stone mill,
and going inside hardly recognized
the place as so much Of the old ma
chlnery had been removed and re-
placed by new that the entire sys-
TEN had been almost entirely re-
newed. Peter Hanson, and who does
not know him, very kindly took us
through the mill and explained what
was going on. The mill is of three
stories. All the old boiling aud sirt-
ing machinery has been torn out and
discarded, and in its place is being
erected an entirely new sitting sys-
tenn Of the latest pattern. New rolls
are also being placed in position, as
it is the purpose Of Mr.. Hansen to
make his mill as good as any in the
state. In order to get the best re.
suits he has formed a partnership
with Mr., Ed. Davis, late Of Conoor-
dIa, who has been miller for years,
the past eleven having been spent in
Ooncordla. Under the firm name of
Hanson q DAVIS the old stone null
gives promise of furnishing TO the
most exacting bread .maker a quality
of flour unequaled in the world.
Phillips county raises wheat that
grades at the top, so there il no rea.
son why, with the best of wheat, the
best of machinery, and a miller of
Mr.. Davis standing, Hanson & Davis
flour should not be found upon every
table in this vicinity. Let the Con-
cordis papers, where Mr.. Davis has
lived, tell more about him:
I'VE regret to learn that we have
lost one OF our oldest and among our
best citizens, together with his Osti-
mable family, Ed Davis, who has for
twelve years been been head miller of
the Ooncordia Roller Mile. Mr.. Dav.
is has leased ine mill 40 Marvin In
Phillips county and is now operating
1t. He had charge Of the Concordla
mills under H. L. Spalding and seven
years under LIngle & Cline, during
which time not word Of complaint
has ever been made Of him, a record
very few can claim. He and wife are
popular lodge members aud besides
from other social gatherings will be
greatly missed by their lodge associ-
ates. COncordia Blade.
I'VE understand that Mr.. Edward
Davis, who so long ran the Concordia
mill, has made arrangements to start
in the milling business near Marvin.
Kan, at the Hanson mill. We sincere
Iy regret to lose Mr.. DAVIS, as be ia
one of our best citizens, a tirst-class
miller and an honest one, too. He has
milled here for the past twelve years,
i've for II. NJ. Spslding and nearly
seven for Jingle IL Cline, and these
gentlemen cannot speak too highly of
him, lie is not only one of the best
Judges Of wheat in this locality, but
s one of the best millers in the state.
We hope the citizens OF Phillips coun-
ty will give Mr.. Davis the patronage
be deserves, He is one OF the kind
who will do to tie to, and he wears
we'll - COnCOTdid KQnSdn.
