The Commercial Club of this city is doing some excellent work for the improvement of the town. In the zeal of the club to do good for the city, if they will take hold of the el- evator and the rock mill, and put the machinery of the two in motion, night and day, we believe the best wishes of the entire city and especi- | ally the farming community, who are extremely anxious for a market for their grain would be with the undertaking and a great amount of good to both town and country would be the result. The capacity of the elevator is sufficient to handle all the grain brought to this market and if the prices were made an ire ducement the farmers would deliv er their grain at this point. On the other hand if the power behind the throne would start the machinery of the mills in motion, we believe the shipment of flour in and the ship- ment of money out would be stopped. The above is a matter of vital im- portance to every merchant and cit- izen of Butler and demands serious eonsideration. Webster’s Indexed Unabridged Dictionaries at Weaver's.
