Er..-eter Grist Brill. •
• A movement is on foot to secure for
Exeter a new grist mill. On Monday
of this week.some of the most energet-
ic of our citizens put their heads to
gether in a projeet to procureVor this
vilhige, that which we have so long
stood in need of, a good local custom
grist mill. The erectthn of this mill
will in no way interfere with the one
to be erected by Messrs. Brown atd
Emery, whese business is largely cone
mercial. The two wills will be just
what this place wants and the trades
will harmonize to a dot. The benefit
Shat must result to Exeter is incalcul-
able. It hkis been truly said by some
that the removal of the foundry was
not one half the loss to the town that
the burning of our grist nuil was. It
begins, however, to look as if the re
novel of the fouudry and the burning
of the mill were after all blessings hi
disguise (to Exeter at any rate), as we
are now almOSt certain of two •grist
mills to replace the one burned, and
we are quite pleasesi with the prospect
of securing a Repairing Foundry,where
repairing can be had at a figure with-
in the reaeh of our manufacturers and
farmers. As it was in the • Verity re-
gime the prices charged for repair
work were so unreasouable that people
wanting repaire were often compelled
to go to St. Marys, London, Staferth
• and other points. What we want is to
attract the people here and to unite
kr' this purpose. No more of those
miserable little local squabbles; no
more North agaiast South and centre
against the two. Let 1101 join hands pf
we went to make a prosperous town of
this. The new mill will, we under
stand, be eesicted in the south end of
She village, thus giving oath end a
mill. Sueely this will suit all parties!
