WANTED-A FLOUR MILL.


WANTED-A FLOUR MILL.
AS far back as there has been
any possible reason why there
should he -four mill in this ValN
ley located at Sequachee, we have
been urging, advising, and cajoling
for its erection. But people are
bound to get wearied sooner or
later, and accordingly when we
cannonaded the theme last, We
laid down our pencil with the idea
that the question was buried III
the past, but here comes Bro. SEQ"
field, of the South Pittsburg Res
publican, and invites us to bonn
bard the question again. Tuesday
evening he sent us advance proofs
of his editorials of this week on the
mOoted question as follows:
"The Sequachee News iavors our
proposition JuAt the farmers OF the Sc
quachee Vallay unite to establish a
Hour mill and suggests Sequachee as a
good location. That's ali right. We
must remember that we have cOmmu-
nifty of interests and any locality in the
Valley to be truly prosperous must
work unselfshly for the upbuilding OF
the entire section. The town that gets
the location Of u -four mill will bo BEN
Gifted incidentally, and there IL be moth
! ing but generous rivalry to secure that
/ location, WHEN the time comes. We
want first to thoroughly arouse our
/ readers to tho importance OF seiZing
this market that is open to us. 1t means
! much for the lettering Of our agricult-
ural interests We believe that the
stock for such a mill could readily be
subscribed and suggest that each paper
| in the valley present the subject to is
readers and get cOnCOnsus OF opinion
on tho subject. The enterprise would
pay from the start 1t should be in OPP
Grafton before cold weather 10 the
farmers We would say, drop US line,
giving US your opinion on the subject
South Pittsburg received 316 barrels
Of Hour and twelve tons OF bran, be-
sides large quantities OF meal, by rail,
during the frst fifteen days OF July.
This does not include -four shipped to
some of the larger dealers who buy in
car load lots. Now, we want to ask the
farmers and merchants If it would not
be better for all hands if local wheat,
, ground in local mills, supplied this
enormous demand"
Now, tue News is working just
as hard for The advancement Of the
Valley as for Sequachee, and acA
cordingly, if we can't get the mill
located here, we are willing to en-
Joy it from distance provided il
is in the Valley. But we do want
I, it here, and our reasons are mani
! fold. 1t is needless to rehsarse al
: of them. Anyone who wishes tC
read the files of our paper for two
years back can find them laid
down there as permanently as cold
type could make them. But look
log at it from a position of loCa'
ton Stquachee Is the centre 0
. the wheat belt Of Marion County
1900 bushels have been raised
here this year, and if We eau hay,
a good mid, our farmers will make
: it $1,000.
= We don't know much about thu
cooperative business out if W
= can't get some ole interested indi
= vidually let US get them collect
lively. We invite cur farme
. friends to come and see us, o
write to ue their ideas upon tn
" subject of building a mill and Op
. Grating it through farmers asso
cation. Now is the time tor aCt
~ ion, and action should be quiC
and decisive. A good flour mi
in this Valley is too good plum
% to be- lost by INDIGESTION. Whateye
, be the outcome, let US all striv
~ the best we can to get payln
- business in operation in town.
