him to be examining the huckle-

amazed, for, although we knew
he is a stockholder in the Union
sawmill on Granville Kings
farm, we had no idea Of his
working in the interest Of the
mill. We asked him if he was
trying to get a square bait Of
berries, and his quick response
was; "No sir; | am thinking Of
buying this timber for our big
sawmill." Wo hope the mill will
prove a success and gain many
customers, as saWmill is badly
needed in this community, but
we think it best to let Ponder
wheel sawdust and employ an
other man to do the buying Of
the timber.
