City Flour Mills, . .*
One of the most prominent indus
tries of Athens is the City Flour
Mills, siuated on the East side of the
river, opposite the Athens Factory,
and owned by W. C. Ivemp & Co.
Mr. Kemp is an Englisman hy
birth, learned the milling business in
t-lie city of I.ondon iu an establish
ment that had in operation CO run of
rocks.
The property now owned hy him
lias been in his possession for a limn
her of years, and by his superior
knowledge as a Mill-right, and the
nsc of improved machinery has not
only one of the pretties and most
conveniently arranged, but one of the
best mills in the South. The capaci
ty of the mills are 70 barrels of flour
per day and 200 bushels meal.
We had the pleasure of a visit to
this mill the other day, and were
kindly shown by Mr. Kemp from
collar to garret. One of the most
striking features is the facility for the
handling and transfer of grain, by
means of elevators, and by turning a
single slide a thousand bushels of
grain can be transferred from one
floor to another in a very short lime.
Another of the most wonderful labor-
saving machims we ever saw is
Wolfs Patent packer, with which by
a simple guage the flour is packed
into whole, half and quarter sacks in
a very short space ot time, and when
the sunk is filled, a drop falls which
cuts off tho supply, giving time for
the sack to be removed aud another
pot in its stead.
That the. public may have some
idea ot the amount of business done
by M r. Kemp we will state that his
freights a ount to about $2,000 a
year. Since the first of September
ho has bought $1700 worth of flour
sacks, and will soon have to buy
mere.
No city or county can be overbnr*
dated with men of Mr. Kemp’s ener
gy and enterprise.

—Who is the best friend of the

or Col. Yancey ? “ By their works

—The fj-ieuds of Col. Yancey said,
a day or two ago, that their candidate
would lead Col. Huggins by three or
lour hundred votes. They now say
it will be nip and tuck. Luck out
that tuck don’t come in ahead.
—Col. Huggins will champion the
cause of the Northeastern Railroad if
you send him to the Legislature. He
has proved his devolin i to the inter
est and prosperity of Athens, aud yon

peopleeis lies within his power.

—As the editor of the extra gave
no excuse for the reproduction ot

that tho-cold snap froze up his vein of
humor, thereby causing him to di*a:
point his many hungry readers. We
have a tender feeling for this journal
ist, but we ask in all kindness, if this I
deception is fair?

D. Beusse’*, given in h"iu*r of the
nuptial ceremonies of t ’> eir beautiful
and accomplished d tiliU r, Miss
Amy, to Mr. George ’V. Calvin, of
Augusta. Tiie nuptials being solemn
ized and the usual congratulations
given on such occasions, the numerous
friend* of the bride and groom were
invited into the dining-roo n to par
take of those nice luxuries of life for
whie.ii Mrs. Beusse is unexcelled in
preparing. After all had partaken
freely of the nice eatables spread so
liouiitifully,before them, they retired
to the parlor and spent a short while
in pleasant conversation; after which,
one by one, we hade them adieu and
departed for oar several homes, each
with a fond recollection of a happy
occasion never to be forgotten.
In conclusion, wc express our best
wishes for their future happiness iu
the new sphere of life upon they have
entered, and as they glide down the
stream of time, may its hanks he
fringed with happiness and prosperity
and that haven at last reached where
