There being nothing of the kind in this section, caused many tocrit icise thim utto eny they j referred the old burr gn und flour etc. How ever when this mill was started up and w s making the best flour that this country had ever seen the fact spread like wildfire aud in a few w» eks the farmers of six or eight counties were gatherng tlier* with their*wh*nt ( and the like wa? never seen before. This demon* •tatoin decided the farmer for all time and the next season saw sev¬ eral times as much wheat sowed as ever before. Thenext year about eight new mill went up in the ter¬ ritory that this ‘.The pioneer” mill had ground wheat thi year be fores. The building of so many new mill in so email a radius cans -ed conjecture as to whether this mill would do uoarly so flouaish ing a business as the season before when it had no competition. In answer to this, we are reliably in¬ formed, that this mill has ground 25 per cent more custom wheat tha past .season than the preceding *ne. This fact speaks well for Meurs. DeLoach & Bel!, and we attribute their success mainly to two very essential qualifications these gen¬ tlemen posg ss : 1st, geniality and 2nd. they ar* mill men and under rstand as few men do, how to opt - at* a roller mill. These gentle¬ men ar* very grat*ful for your p ut patronage aud are desirous of re¬ taining it. The mill set a high pace, when they started up, by giving 88 lbs flour and 12 lbs bran to the bushel. This did not suit some people because they thought they should have 40 II s flour. Thi fact that none of the other mill* have ever been abl* to give any more, goes to allow that DeLoach & Bell were holiest and game the farmers all they were entitled to. This amount they have contineo to give ever since. They further wish it *tated that the bad wheat o.' last season mad* it necessary for them to have th»iriolla re-dressed and purchase new bolting cloths. This has all b9en done and they are now ready to give you *ome more of that 1899 flour. Letters xVdminimti-ntion. GEORGIA, Rockdale county. To wnotn it may concern.

He was n city chan, new¬ ly graduated and thoroughly out of toneh with everything mountainous. He was a bright fellow, however, aud Amply capable, only the mountainn were not the field for bis development. As time elapsed his distaste grew, and It was all he could do not to expresn his opinion of the mountain people, their- manners, customs, homes, tnorala and everything connected with them. He was wise enough to confide in m» •lone and bided his time to get away to some more congenial clinic. And he got away sooner than lie expected. It happened that there was a public meeting one night nt the sawmill shed, •i»d lie was called onto make a few remarks. Every other man at th* meeting except myself, who acted at chairman, was of the mountains, and their illiterate talk had roused tha young college fellow to the limit. lie aaw a chance to get even, in his own mind at least, and when the call earao for him he responded promptly. Ills Speech, quite brief, but to the point, was as follows, copied from his own manuscript, eveu the [applause] part: “My friends, I ntrt glad to meet you an tills oeeaslon, for I have wished to day to you publicly what I think of you, though our nctjunlntawr has not been long. ■ Coming ns a stranger among you.
