MAY Mantra GODant011.—It is very un- likely that the Grand Tenni( elevator at Goderieh, whioh was recently destroyed by fire, will be rebuilt by the company. While no official announoemeut is made by the eilluials of the Greed Trunk them• selves, it is pretty well understood diet they do not favor the rebuilding of the elevator, and it statement to this effeot may shortly be expeeted. The elevator at Goderioh teas a very old one, built when the old Goderioh and Buffalo Rail• road was running between those two points, and before the Grand Trunk had the oonueotions the toad now enjoys. The preaent polioy of the company is to centre the grain businese either at Col. lingwood, Midland or Sarnia, and Gode. rich le bit to be an out-ot-the•way port now. Owen Sound also wants the Grand Trunk to erect an elevator there, but it is ratty certain the railroad will not, do this without a substantial bonus, and the Grand Trunk authorities appear to ques- tion the ability of Owen Sound to grant any more bonuses. General Superinten- dent McGuigan and Superintendent Fitz. lingh, were in Owen Sound on Tuesday inspecting the ground there, and a de. nision in regard to that port may be ex- pected shottly. In reaped to Goderioh the grain bu0inees whieh the Grand Trunk has been securing there will pro• bably be transferred to one of the other points where the company has elevators. C.

The attendance was fairly large considering the bad state of the roads and the short notice given. On motion, David Niohol was voted to the chair, and R. S. Pelton appointed Secretary of the meeting. It was the unanimous feeling of the meeting thee a joint stook grist mill should be built aud the there would be no difficulty what- ever in raising the newt:eery money among the farmers of Elma and business men of Atwood to build the mill. John Blantyre, Geo. Loolibead, R. S. Pelton, D. Niofiol, 0. Vallanoe, W. G. Inglis, Robe Anderson and others bore testi. mony to the unanimity of feeling on the subject and that the work of the pro• meters was largely one of detail. The disouselon brought forth the following motioe, moved by Mr. Auderson, sec- onded by Mr. Inglis : "That a joint stook company be formed to build a roller grist mill in Atwood, and that a stook book be opened to receive subscriptions." Car. teed. It was resolved to hold another nubile meeting on Saterday, Nov. 20th, at 2 p. m., in the Town Hall, Atwood, to take soh further notion ae the wisdom of the meeting determines. It was thought by some of the speakers that mill with a capacity 01 76 barrels a day would be large enough and could be er- sated and thoroughly equipped with the latest and best, modern maobinery for $6,500, and possibly for less, es mill reaohinery can be purchased for less money now than it could ten or a score of yeere ago. An admirable site could be purchased reasonably from Robt. Ander- son, facing the G. T.
