HOOD’S NEW MILLS.
Machinery that Will Do as Good Work as
the Best of Western Mills.
Last Wednesday, in company with Mr.
A. 11. Brock (and Charlie), we had the pleasure
of visiting and looking through the old Burns’
mills, situated ou the North Oconee river.
The property was purchased several years
ago by Mr. C. W. Hood, of Harmony Grove.
We suppose from the surroundings, that it
was at one time the best merchants’ mills in
the county, and one amongst the first built in
this section. At the time Mr. Hood bought
it the property was considered to be in very
fair condition, but it was far from the standard
that it 9 owner desired, who realized the fact
that, in order to make it pay a profit on the
investment, he must put it in first-class order
in every respect. Securing the services of
Mr. T. A. Panel, of Gainesville, who is known
as the best millwright in this section of
country, Mr. Hood went to work, and has
rc-built the mill over from top to bottom.
Nothing remains of the old machinery except
a few iron wheels. To commence at the
bottom, Mr. Panel has put in four new turbine
wheels, of his own pattern, each one running
a separate set of rocks, two for wheat and
two for corn. Mr. Panel claims that he can
get better, work when each set of rocks is
geared separately. The husk frame is a
splendcd picco of workmanship, and is as
steady when the mills are in motion as it is
possible to get them. He has introduced
several new improvements in the adjustment
of the spindles, so that the best and most
perfect balance can be obtained in the running
of the rocks. In the management and handling
ofthe grain the arrangements are complete,
andfleaves nothing to be desired. Everything
is made so as to avoid the heavy lifts that the
miller usually has to undergo from the time
the grain gets into the mill house.
•In this mill the ground floor is on a level
with a wagon body, the grain is carried in on
a truck, weighed, and, minus the toll, is
empted into a hole in the floor, from whence
it is carried, by elevators, either to the wheat
or corn mills. After undergoing the necessary
cleaning in the upper stories, it is by the
same means carried to the rocks. From the
tims it leaves the sack until it comes back it
Is under the most perfect control of the miller,
who, by the mechanical arrangements, can
stop its progress should ho so desire. The
mill hoppers and their foeding arrangements
are simple, yet the most efficient we ever saw,
and enables the attendant to adjust the flow
of grain to a nicety.
As before stated, there are four sets of
splendid rocks, two sets being entirely new.
Each set is entirely independent from the
other, and so arranged that they can bo put
in operation with the greatest ease imagin
able. The meal from the corn rocks is car
ried by elevators to a chute, over the mouth
of which the “ mill bag” has been placed, so
that it is not handled except to tie the sack.
Each set of wheat rocks has a separate and
entirely distinot arrangement for bolting the
flour. Upon this part of the machinery Mr.
Panel has bestowed especial pains, and
brought to bear all of his skill and knowl
edge. He claims that lie has succeeded in
securing most successful results, and that the"
mills can turn out the best grade of flour that
it is possible to get out of the wheat; that
they will turn out a fancy grade of flour if
desired, or the best of family flour; in fact,
the miller can do most anything with the
wheat that the customer desires.
Wo noticed that in every part of the con
struction especial care was given to prevent
tbe least possible degree of waste, and, as far
as wo are able to judge, the end has been at
tained. So that any one can, with safety,
send to Hood’s mill witli the positive knowl
edge that they will get back all they send
(of course minus the toll, as we presume he
will want a little pay ; if he don’t, he will be
the first man that ever ground without taking
toll.)
All of the gearing that runs the elevators,
bolters, smuUers, &c., is entirely new and
works like a charm, securing better results in
every way. It is all run by a turbine wheel
of Mr. Panel’* construction, doing the work
more satisfactorily than the three old ones,
and making at the same time a great saving
in water*
On the second floor a large granary has
been constructed, so that wheat or corn can
be placed in the elevators and carried up to
it and emptied out each day, without any la
bor whatever, thus preventing its heating, and
at the same time securing it from exposure.
Upon the whole, we must 83y that but lit
tle has been left to be desired, cither as to
quality of the workmanship or iu facilities
for making first-class meal and flour. It
seems that nothing has been overlooked, even
to the smallest detail, and the result is, in
every respect, almost a perfect mill, and an
inspection of its machinery will make any
honest miller’s mouth water and canse him to
long to be the boss of one like it.
With the improvements made, Mr. Hood
has increased the value of his property at
least fifty per cent., and we expect it has cost
him every dollar of it, but he has the conso
lation of knowing that he has the best mill in
the county, and we expect in several adjoin
ing ones; that it is capacitated to keep at
least one-half of Jackson county in meal and
flour with case and despatch, and we trust
that the increased custom, by reason of its
superiority, will amply repay him for the in
vestment.

City Wealth.
In looking over the new tax digest, which
has just been completed, to see how our
county is in comparison with the balance of
the world iu the race for wealth and material
advancement, we find some curious figures,
especially in regard to city and town property
in this place, Harmony Grove, Nicholson and
Maysville.
The occasion of our search was from a de
sire on our part to see what effect, or to what'
extent the citizens of Jefferson had raised the
valuation of their town property, in view of
the early advent of the,railroad and its be
coming a railroad metropolis. You can im
agine our surprise ami chagrin when the
figures told U 9 that our citizens considered
that they were poorer by over two thousand
dollars than they were last tax giving in time.
That the prospect of a railroad has im
poverished our town, we cannot and will not
admit, or be convinced even by the logic of
figures that this is true. We deny even the
figures, and contend that they are not a true
index. In support of our proposition, we de
fy any man to come here and buy property
at figures that would have made a sale two
years ago; j’et, in the face of this, they give
in their property at a less valuation than at
that time. In 1880 the taxable town prop,
orty. of this place aggregated $32,405; in
1881 it is $29,424, a difference of $2,981 in
favor of last }’ear.
It may be said that part of this falling off
can be attributed to the fire that burnt out a
block of our town last winter. While this
destroyed some property, yet the increased
appreciation in values that are real should
more than compensate for this loss.
Harmony Grove is also a little behind this
year. From wbat cause we are at a loss to
divine, for we well know that property is ap
preciating in value in that thriving town. In
1880 they gave in that town at $19,065 ; in
1881 at $17,355, a falling off of $1,710.
On the other hand, wo have two thriving
towns that feel that they are worth more than
they were last year, and are not ashamed to
own it. In 1880 Maysville said she was
worth $1,250; Nicholson saw her fifty dol
lars better, making $1,300. This year they
aroused themselves, and felt full grown. So
Nicholson steps up and calls it $4,000 even.
Maysville, not to be outdone (although one
half of her lives in Banks count}’), makes it
$4,220. So the race goes on. We will watch
for the figures from these two thriving towns
in the future with great interest.
A review of the figures, and our knowledge
of the places and the business that each one
of the four towns in this county transacts, we
are safe in estimating them at about one
hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand
dollars. But, you know, we don’t sell prop
erty the way we give it in for taxes.
A Card to the Public.
Athens, Ga„ Aug. Bth, 1881.
Mr. Editor: —We learn that certain par
ties in Jackson county are engaged in the
noble effort of trying to injure our business
by telling the people that the “ Starved
Rooster” Separator which we sold to the
Messrs. Lyle was a failure, and could not be
made to do satisfactory work. And right
here let us say that wo do not charge this
slander to the Messrs. Lyle, for we have had
dealings with them aud known them inti
mately for a long while, and wo feel certain
that they hold themselves above any such
conduct. The facts in the case arc as fol
lows: We sold the machine to the Messrs.
Lyle, and they perhaps did not understand
how to work it (never having run one of that
kind before) and did not get satisfactory
work out of it. We afterwards sold it to
Messrs. J. B. Sc J. G. Dunnahoo, and hero is
what they say about it: *• The * Starved
Rooster’ Separator which wo bought of you
(the same that the Messrs. Lyle tried) has
given perfect satisfaction to us and our pa
trons—doing rapid work and cleaning the
grain perfectly. We had no trouble in get
ting the best results. Asa sample of its
work, we would say that we made with it 100
bushels of toll in one and a half days. While
we were at work, an experienced thresher
man, and the best machinist in the county,
came along and asked the privilege of feed
ing the Separator awhile, to see what it would
do. lie took hold of it and shoved the bun
dles into it head first, butt-end first, side ways,
and every imaginable way, and the machine
took alLhe gave it, cleaned it well without
choking* and called for more. We have no
Itesitancy in saying that with this machine
we can thresh 1,000 bushels per day, and do
the work as well as any machine in the coun
try.”
Messrs. J. 11. Holland and W. H. Ander
son, who bought from us one of the same
machines, and a “ Starved Rooster” Traction
Engine, say: “ The separator and engine
give entire satisfaction to ourselves and cus
tomers—traveling with ease over any ordi
nary roads, and doing the very best work
with great rapidity. We proposed to our
customers that if they would place one tliou
sand bushels of grain where we could get. at
it, we would thresh it in a day, and do it as
well as any thresher in the country, or forfeit
the toll.”
If the above home evidence is not suffici
ent to prove that the Starved Rooster goods
are very superior in every respect, we have
in our office letters from over 500 purchasers
for 1880 alone, ever}' one of whom give these
goods the very highest praise.
We have felt called upon to say this much,
through your valuable columns, to set our
selves right before the people. Our aim has
always been to sell nothing but good goods,
and the machinery all over the country that
we have sold is evidence of our success in
the effort. Yours truly,
Orr & Hunter.
Personal Mention.

- Mr. Willie Brock has returned from Texas.
He says that he saw better crops between
Jefferson and Harmony Grove than on any
other portion of his journej' from Texas here.
John Brooks, of Athens, has changed his
base. He is now with Parker & Camp Bros.,
on Broad street, lie requests us to state
that be will take pleasure in waiting on all
of his old customers, and that lie i9 just as
able to give them the lowest cash prices as
ever.
Tom Harrison has severed his connection

If all the judicial circuits of the State had
such men as Alex. S. Erwin for Judges, it
would not be necessary to attend Court at

excuse the rich from the punishment of mis
demeanors any more than the poor. As long
as the fashionable joung men know that their
parents will pay them out, we will never get
our criminal dockets cleared.
A great many improvements are going on
ip this section of the country. Mr. T. A.
Mauldin is improving his house, yard and
garden. Mr. D. B. Oliver also anticipates
building anew house this fall.
Mr. F. Muller is running Messrs. DcLr

the workings of machinery thoroughly.
Prof. is teaching school at

Dr. G. W. DeLaperriere and lady will leave
for Meriwether county immediately after the
camp meeting. We hesitate not to say that
Dr. George is a high-toned gentleman—pos
sessed of moral habits, well informed, kind
and generous hearted.
An old time minister, preaching in a tight
church, in which, by some means, a window
was left open, a good brother during the ser
mon closed it, when the preacher stopped and,
turning to the brother, said in solemn tones,
" If I were preaching in a jug, I believe you
would put the cork in.”
Rev. Mr. Hudson is teaching a prosperous
school at Bethlehem church. He is a gentle
man of whom any community ought to feel
proud, and is rapidly climbing the ladder of
eminence in his profession. He is assisted
by Mr. Frank Sell, a young man of integrity.
Success to our young brothers.
But enough.

In Memoriam.
Died, at Nicholson, Ga., on the 6th day of
August, 1881, John Barleycorn. His health
was thought to be failing early last spring by
his friends, but he was anti stimulated and
encouraged till the crisis was passed, and
high hopes were entertained for his perma
nent recovery. But some thirty days before
his death symptoms presented themselves
that put his intimate friends on the alert.
Those symptoms seemed to pass and return,
causing hope and alarm, until the evening
before his death, when it was found by some
of that his disease was malignant;
that he wa? slowly but surely sinking. Early
on the morning of the 6th he seemed to rally
and be gaining strength. But
imaginary, for at 10 o’clock the grim
mobster seized him for his own, and he strug
gled and fought until three o’clock P. M. f
jwh£n he breathed hfs last in the presence of
a few devoted friends. But why should his
friepds mourn his death? His loss is their
etefbal gain. The bereaved family have the
sympathy of the coiurminity. *#*

My darling I no moro caa 1 hear thy cheerful*
voice, but it makes me glad to know that I shall
meet thee in a day to come. Thy memory I shall;
ever cherish with that burning spark that lays
deep within my breast.. All of my earthly joys,
arc past and gone, never to return.

HOW TO TREAT YOUR WATCH.
Wind it up at the same time every day. Keep,
it in as even a temperature as possible. Sudden,
transition from heat to cold may cause the main
spring to break. If you would keep it clean nev-r.
er put it in any pocket except one of leather.
Those pockets which are 1 ned with cloth, cotton'
or calico, give by the constant friction a certain
fluff, which enters most Watch Cases and makes
its way to the delicate parts of the watch. See
that the pocket is turned and cleaned often, and’
take an old linen handkerchief and wipe carefully
all the dust from under the hacks, bezel and cap,
of the case. But above all you must be sure that
the Case fits firmly, and to be sure of this, select
one where the parts (center backs, cap, Ac.) are.
each made from one piece of inetal.
The JAMES BOSS’ Patent Stiffened or
filled Cold W atch Case is so made, and not
only does such a Watch Case become stronger
and fit more perfectl}', but it enables the manu
facturer to turn and form three pieces of metali
(the outer ones being gold and the inner one of an
inferior metal) into shape for the round parts,
making to all appearaces and practical purposes
just as good a Watch Case as the solid gold, at
about one-half the cost to the purchaser.
There are nearly one hundred thousand of theso
Watch Cases now carried, and their good qualities
are acknowledged by the same number of happy
possessors.
All Jewelers keep them, also illustrated cat%*
logues for gratuitous distribution.
