LONDON, October 25.-The armies
of the Austro-Germans are showing the
same aggressive tactics in the Bul-

played in the others which they have
waged. They are pushing forward ov.

are straddling the Belgrade.

The allies are keeping the closest scr-

thought thai their armies are planning
the checking of this movement at the
very earliest possible moment, and
the press dispatches OF the next few
days will doubtless tell OF the bitter at.

ports and books were in excellent

The commissioners also made
seme investigation of the condition
of the north end of the lot adioin-
ing the county Jail, where the dirt is
caving in terribly. While no order
was passed regarding same it was
the opinion of the members that
retention wall should be erected to
prevent further caving.
While in that vicinity the COM
missioners paid a visit to the Jail
and made most careful inspection.
'fhey found the Jail in exceptional
~ good condition for a building of
that character. 1t was said that
Sheriff Dearborn and Jailer Rogers
are keeping jail better than It has
been kept in years. The county jail
is not as conveniently arranged

WICHITA MILLING co.
TAKES PROPERTY LEASE
WILL, OPERATE Tile & /. MILL
INC. PLANT HERE IN
FUTURE.
Connection Gives WaNaiachic
Branch Mil Of One of Largest
Companies Now in state.

\ deal has been closed whereby
the Wichita Mill & Elevator COM
pany takes ever the G. {. Milling
Company property under lease con-
tract, and will operate same in fu-
ture under the management of d.
f. Dodge, who has had charge of
the Wichita company agency here
for some time. The c. c. Milling
Company property was sold some
time ago by B r. Moffett to T. f.
Hill of Cleburne, and has not been
in operation in about three months.
Under this new arrangement a COM
petent milling company takes over
the property, and when it begins
operation it will be on a permanent
basis. 1t is the purpose Of Mr..
Dodge to start up the plant some
time this week.
The Wichita Mill < Elevator
company is managed by Messrs. Kell
ard Kemp of Wichita Falls, and is
one of the largest mill and elevator
companies doing business in Texas.
They have already earned replta-
ton for handling good products at
their other mills and branch houses
and it will be an easy matter to
make good that reputation here. Mr..
Dodge said it was the purpose of the
company at present to make all
corn products here, but the flour
will be shipped in for time. In
order TO keep the mill in operation
it will be necessary to ship in grain
for there is no surplus of grain Of
any description in the county at
the present. These gentlemen hope,
however, that by fall they will be
able to get grain In this county for
home manufacture. 1t is their pur-
pose to establish a permanent mar
ket here for all kinds of small grain
so farmers may dispose of one bush
81 or an hundred cars and get as
good Il price for same as they could
by shipping their products to other
markets and enjoy the privilege OF
marketing their grain in any quaint
ties.
While the mill will not manufac-
ture all the products manufactured
by the company at first, the machin
cry is such that it will only be a 4
matter OF creating a market for
same and in that event the various !
products will be manufactured here,
A full line OF the products will be
carried in stock at all times. The
corn products will consist largely OF
corn. chops and corn meal.
Mr.. Greer, who has long been with
the mill, Will continue in the ca
pacity of miller. 1t is their hope to
build a trade that will keep the
pant iii constant operation.
