"On the morning of that day a Com-

One of our millers stated in our hear
ing the other day that he had paid out
during the lsat two months over 1320,000.
The other millers- have doubtless paid out
similar amounts. These facts considered,
is it not strange that an improvement for
the better is not noticeable? To our mind
it looks as though somebody was guilty
of hording "greenbacks." Tho man with
debts unpaid who would horde motley at
a time like the present is mean enough to

which expressly subjects to forfeiture any
