ments which have recently taken
place in our village, we are glad. to
point out the important one made
in our flour mill, which is in a, better
position than ever before to attend to
the wants of the general public. The
capacity of this mill enables it to turn
out 70 barrels of flour daily, to-
gether with fully ten tons of chop.
The proprietors, Messrs. Wray
Hawkshaw, have entirely discarded
the seven ruels formerly in use, ana
placed in their mill instead a pfen-
