There is a revolution taking place in the milling business of the country which will consign to the rubbish h cap the mills now in operation for making flour. It involves a total loss of the present ma chinery burr mill stones and all. Of course reference is had to the new sys tem of making flour by crushing the wheat between steel or iron rolls i n- stcad of grinding it between stones. There is a great difference between the results. The flour from the roller mills is far superior and sells freely at $ 3 and $3.25, when that from the common mills of the country is refused at $2 and $2.25. A merchant of this place who keeps both kinds says he sells ten bags of roller mill flour to one of the other, notwithstand ing the difference of $1 to the bag. It is apparent, therefore, that the time for rSurrstonc mills is out, so far as making flour for the market is concerned. The revolution will necessarily be slow, for the cost of the roller system is much greater and beyond the means of the large majority of country millers. A strictly neighborhood business will be the limit of the mills now in use for a number of years, but the roller system will evi dently supercede them in the end. a dollar by reading the " Dixie." -AND A Vain Conceit "When whiskey is in, wit is out," is an old proverb, and it was verified some nights ago by a crowd of five jovial men returning from a corn shucking. They had been beaten in a race at the corn heap and they wanted to get even with the world or above it, but how"? that was the question. The strong arm of a blacksmith, was nervous to do something powerful; the cunning hand of a shoe maker was itching to perpetrate a fraud: the muddled brain of a whiskey drinker couldn't even tinker: Hero are rails, said one, as they survey ed Frieze's feu ce rails light and dry let build a pen high as the sky; and at i they went, for what or why. not one could tell. Kail after rail was brought, by willing hands caught to build a pen. Up it rose, why, no one knows, thirty-three rounds and more. Hurra boys, but make no noise. Let's lift it higher, to the sky much higher and we'll have a pen "boh h hki" A dreadful sound rang all around from wood or ground they never found.

ABOUT METEORITES. Mr. W. E. Hidden wishes it known among the miner and fanners, that he would be glad to purchase for cash, spec imens of meteoric stones, "native iron" and eerolites that have either been seen to fall or have been discovered in the surface soil. Any mass of silvery white metals, found in the soil, having a rusty or black sur face, can be taken for granted to be of meteoric origin and as such demands careful preservation. These masses should be donated to or sold to the scientific men who can give them careful study. Very properly they are the property of i scientific men and should not be allowed to lay around idle doing no one auy good. Only lately a mass found in this State which was used to keep a barn door open, the owner not dreaming that the rusty mass of heavy metal was worth twenty dollars to him as proved to be the case.
