to be only 81. so ton after the repairs
of the cruSher have been paid for out
of the extra FIVE cents ton, spoken of
as royalty. Mr., Walker has moved the
crusher to his power at the lime kiln
and will be ready to crush lime tor the
farmers withsn a short time, it is
hoped. rs the necessary repairs are eX-
pected to arrive in few days.
