Last week we made mention that Mr. Carnes and associates contem- plated the erection of a roller flouring mill the Butler elevator at the depot. This week it gives us pleasure to state that the gentiemen composing the company are making arrangements to at once commence work. They have sub- mitted their plans and specifications to several ditterent mill-wrights who are now making an estimate tor the the construction of the building. Mr. Carnes informed us that the builcing would be of frame lined on the out- side with iron, and will be put up in the latest and most improved style. The machmerv will all be first-class and they expect to run it on the high presure. in connection with The Nevada Mail gives a dotetul account of a young man named Geo. Welch, of that city. The young man and his mother came to that county from Illinois and purchased a tarm, and about three years ago the mother died, leaving the son $12,000. Soon after her death he began to drink, and to-day is penniless. ragged and dirty, and a total wreck both in mina and health. The other day a gentleman passing him on the street noticed his condition and asked him if he neede@ help. The poor un- tortunate replied that his monev was all gone and he would like to have ten cents to buy something to eat.

At his home in this city, Thursday of last week, at 11 o’clock, Robert Wade, tather of N. A. Wade,editor ot the Democrat, at the ripe old age of 85, surrounded by his children and friends, quietly and peacefully passed away. The cause of his death was purely from the effects of old age, as he had heen spared to outlive his three score and ten years. He was born in New Jersey, emigrated to Ohio in 1838 and came to Butler in 1880, In politics he was a strong democrat, and during his residence in Ohio held several positions of honor and trust.
