This reference to Exeter's Roller Mills si ti cos to gime a general view of its operations and to call the attention of the ADvo0ATi1 readers to the fact of its being established here and of the intention of its proprietors to male of it a central depot where the entire farming gommunity may always cal- culate upon being mot in a courteous and liberal manner, and where the highest prices for their products : will be continuously offered with a view alike of securing their regular trade and of providing for the people of this section a'leeal'market which cannot be equalled "elsewhere.

F there is one business • feature of IExeter of which, snore than any .. other, her citizens are unanimously proud, it is the Exeter Roller Mills, situated in the veryheart of the town and sure to attract the attention of all by its loftiness and striking. appearance, This grand industry has been in run- ning order just two weeks and is well worthy of inspection. The company was organized last winter, being com- posed 'of Messrs, A. J. Rollins and John Williams, and it can be safely said that they have ono of the best equipped. mills in Western Ontario. With this fact m view we feel confident' that their manufacture of flour etc, will meet with uniyersal satisfaction. 'Their motto of business is, "Not how much, but how fine," and with this principle strictly adhered to theirs will prose undoubtedly an undeviated course of success. The season le now neon us which arouses renewed interest iu that par- ticular class of manufacturing which ecmes nearest home to the heart of agriculturists, the final handling of the grain that has so abundantly awarded the farmer this season for his labor, before it is shipped away in the forte of flour to points at varying distances, or finds a place of repose in the flour bins ar,d pantries nearer home. A visit to the Exeter Roller mills here suggests itself therefore naturally to the Anvo- CATn at this juncture in the coarse of its effects to brim the various indus- tries of this town and vicinity promin- ently before its readers. As may natur- ally be supposed the institution in question presents an animated scene; but will be moreso when the newly harvested cereals begin to pour ill from the beautiful surrounding' coururv. This establishment will be a great benefit to the town as well as to the farming community. The firm intends to keep the mill running steadily day and Tright, and to do this they will con- sume over eight hundred cords of wood yearly, thus enlarging a market for a claae of wood that is not suitable fo. domestic purposes. Then again they will require 750 bushels of wheat daily, or •a total for the year of 234,750 bush- els. A large amount of. coarse grain will also be purchased and in grinding up such quantities of wheat the firm will be able to supply thelarge local track with bran and shorts and other mill offal, which is an advantage to them aS well 1.18 i he farming contni unity It scarcely seems necessary to Perch' in detail to the inner life of the mill. From the time of entering the scene of activity it impresses itself on the mince. Active, cheerful operatives attend the various stages of the mill's operations, and on every side an air of earnest .e! '._:ver ou the part of all hands to for ward the interest of the . establish ment, and to oblige the public reigns supreme, The grain is received upon a scale, of the most approved pattern, and after being classified it sinks out of sight, only, however, to be hurried off by the endless carriersto its own particular. corner in the spacious ele- vator, whose ample bins have an ag- gregate capacity of 20,000 bushels. Aleanwhile the grain runs on from the elevator into the mill proper, passes through several cleaning; machines; next the grain is hustled through a smut machine and thence into the rolls; on through the rolls it rushes along, get- ting a lively moye on from first to last, through breakers and numberless puri- fiers, and finally bearing no marks which may have started with it on its mad career, it pours fourth in a stream of clear, white and beautiful. flour of irreproachable quality: .A glance at the modus opeinncla generally it is easy to understand that the firm is anxious to secure all the grain from the sur- rounding section that they cart get hold of in order to supply material for those innumerable iron teeter to grind at' The machinery throughout the mill is driven by an 85 horse -power engine of modern design which runs with ease and accuracy, An important branch of the business will be the extensive gristing, and in this department the firni will endeavor to give thorough satisfaction to their eustomer's. and to this branch they de- sire to call the attention of the farm- ing community of this section, the real- dents of which can rely . Upon prompt, courteous and liberal dealings in this regard., As stated above, the operations car - tied on in this mill bring to our town many advantages, in the large num her of farmers it attracts here.; in the large amount of money which; it is constantly putting in circulation here,, and in many other ways which will readily suggest themselves to the in- dividual merchants and townsmen. The all-inlpdrtant objects the firm have ifi view is the bringing of the farmers to this point whose trade is, in point of locationa tribttttary to E7teter instead of allowing them to find superior attract - Grand Bench The following were the new arrivals at Grand Bend Park for the week end- ing Aug. 15:-'Alderside' cottage -C.

Cominunication, DEAR EDITOR: -Allow me a small space in the columns of your valuable paper, to discuss in a very brief man- ner, one of the questions that ought to be of the most vital importance to the ratepayers of the village of Exeter, that is, in what way can we best furth- er the interests of our town as regards educational advantages. Now, .I understand it is the intention of the Trustee Board of the public school to open up another room in our school and to engage a lady teacher to teach the same. Bitt instead of en- gaging a lady teacher to teach the lower branebes of education, would it not be infinitely better to engage a teacher legally qualified to teach the higher branches as taught in the High Schools and Collegiate Institutes? I mean by this, a teacher holding (say) a first-class teacher's certificate, and also , qualified to teach Latin and French or German. This may, on first thought, seem im- practicable, but by carefully weighing the advantages and disadvantages, ono would find the advantages far to ex- ceed the disadvantages. True, it Would cost a little more, but that is not the only thing at which to look. This teacher being engaged especially to teach the higher branches, would nat- urally pass quite a number of Seconds, Thirds, Matriculants, and others try- ing the Public Scheel Leaving, besides laying the foundations for many other. professions; and for every pupil who passes the public school leaving, the trustees receive a grant from the gov- ernment, so that, after all, the expense would be but little more. Then again these higher branches :being taught would induce personato remain at school, who otherwise would -not, and others again, who would go away from home for their education. Not only so, but it would be a . great in- centive to the minds of parents tivitig outside the town to move into town to educate their children, and if ei•rctim- stances would not allow of this, they would certainly send their children in- to town, thus helping to defray the ex - pensee of the school.. This plan, also, would not only fulfil the object of opening another depart- ment, that of lightening the work on eaeh teacher, but in addition to this, a better school and a better edueated people would' be the result. Thanking you for your valuable spade, 2 remain PRoGEl0Ss. Clinton..
