It is understood that the president has -succeeded in getting considerable additional capital and that there are good prospeets of the N. L.F. and P. Company continuing in business. With most of the pre- liminary Work done, equipmeet bought, and two lean years past it ought in future with economical management to be able to declare a dividend. LITTLE LOCALS.

A MODERN MILL. - After being in the hands of the mill-wriehts for four months the Clinton Flour Mill is again running. It was overhauled from top to bottafe, the old machinery thrown out and replaced by ;the most mod- ern equipment that could be obtain- ed. The process cost several thous- and dollars but it has .eonvertede-the mill into one of the most up-to- date in the province. The proarie• tor, Mr. John Shoenhals, who is an experienced and successful miller, will bepersonally in charge, with aali lialtizhauer, Harry Glazier and Pat Reynolds assistants, The lat- ter trio are well and favorably keown by the patrons of the mill. Mr. 'Shoenhals' chief aim is to cetera° the local , manket and with his equipment, experienced skill, and lassistants there is no good reason 1 why the great bulk cif the local de- inand for flour should not be filled from the Clinton Mill instead of froin outside mills, big and little. The loyalty to home institutione which is characteristic of the people of this district, will no doubt be shown by , patronizing the up-to-date Clinton Flour Mill, ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.
