FLOUR IS MOVING
UPWARD WITH Other
NECESSITIES OF LIFE
Has Reached $11 Per Barrel and
Some Dealers Expect It to Go
to SIP - Interesting List of
Prices Kept by Former Angus
ia Merchant During Years of
Civil War and for Several
Years After

With the advance in the price Of food
stuffs flour is keeping pace and bids
fair to be higher than it has been for
years, according to the opinion ex-
pressed by one of Augustus grocers a
few days ago. In speaking on the sub
ject of flour he said that it had al
ready advanced from IS to $40, which
was higher than it had been since he
had been in business, that yeast bread
flour had advanced from SO to $11, and
that he expected to see it advance to
$12 before the winter was over.
And speaking of the advance of the
price of flour, the writer has in his pos
session a list Of prices which was Civ
en- him by the late A. T. Fuller, which
list was given him by his father. who
kept a record of the price of flour per
barrel by the carload during es->...
month of the years of the Civil W;iY
and for number of years following
the war. 1t will be noticed that the
highest price reached by flour during
that time was $50 per barrel, during
the months of August and September,
1866. although it was almost up to that
price several times during the next two
years. The list, which will be of gen.
eral interest, follows:

"Rotarians are men who are learn

continued Mr.. Albert. We Rotarians
have made the amazing discovery that
men don't have to be half drunk to
have q good time and there is no room
on any Rotarian table for a single drop
of intoxicating liquor. 1t is impossible
in Rotary not to have a mans vision
broadened. There is no place for
drones in Rotary. We are a company
of busy men. In all the field of Rotary
there is not a single failure. In bus
mess sense Rotary is productive. The
field of obligation of Rotary is through
your business to the community. Ro-
tary trains every one of you to be more
