| "Boone County. Walton: Work is
progressing finely on the new mill of Rouse Brothers. They
expect to raise the frame in a few days. Dimensions of mill 75
feet long by 56 feet wide. They will run two wheat mills and
one of corn, also, a large circular saw. "Our town has a business appearance since the weather had moderated. A good chance of tobacco receiving each day at the warehouse of Capt. A. I. Whipps. The captain expects to handle a good deal of "the noxious weed" this season. from the Newport Local, February 6, 1879. |
