the local organization and the hust-

be able to put this big job over so
successfully in so short time speaks
well for the spirit that is now fully

Are Heaviest Stockholders.

One Of the biggest business deals
that has taken place in this city in
some months, which has been pend
ing for some little time will proba-
bly, be closed before the week is
over, according TO the best available
information, this being the taking
over of the Alma Roller Mills by a
new company, to which stock was
subscribed some few months ago.
Just previous to the time that the
stock was subscribed, an option was
secured on the Roller Mills property
by Messrs. John Hicks Of st. Johns,
James Gibbs of Ithaca, James Craw-
ford of Ithaca and A. f. Crawford
of Breckenridge. At that time AL
ma business men were asked to sub
scribe to 1000 shares of the stock
of the company, to show that they
were willing to back the new enter
prise. This was done in a few hours
The option, which was secured al
that time is now being closed and
it is expected that within the next
few days the stock will be trans
ferred to the new ownership.-
