MILL TO RESUME.
Temporary Structure Is to Be Built By
 Jacksonville oil NH.

Jacksonville, January 1.-(Special.) )-Jo ohn P Burke, general manager of the Jack sonville oil mill, which was recently de- stroyed by fire at a loss of about $l5,00O stated, in a conversation yesterday that the company is making preparations for the rebuilding of a temporary structure, and will soon resume operations for the late winter trade.
 The fire necessitated temporary sus- pension and tho cancellation of a number of orders. but as only the supply house was destroyed, none of the machinery be- in damaged it is thought the mill can soon he put in shape for doing fairly successful business during the latter part of the season.
 The Jacksonville fertilizer factory, which is under the same management as the oil mill, George P. Ide, president, has begun operation, and is running full time, morning and night. A large supply of new and additional machinery has just been installed and it Is said the factory Is en- tering upon the most successful year in it's history.
 A. J. Knight, special government agent, who was recently commissioned to make an examination of the Calhoun county rural delivery postal routes, with a view to the establishment of complete county service, made his final trip from this city today. MT. Knight speaks very enconrag- ingly as to the prospects for the extended service, there being apparently little doubt in his mind as to its realization. Should the extension be secured, 1t would place Calhoun next to Jefferson, which is said to be the only county in the state enjoying delivery of mall over every pub lie road in the county.
