Show President M. W. Merrill is one of that kind of men who build up a country. He has lately made another substantial improvement to the region where he lives, namely a grist mill. The structure is situated on Cub River, about a mile and a half from Richmond. It is of frame and will, when finished; be a first-class mill in every respect, furnished with the latest improved machinery. It is 26 x 54 feet in size and 27 feet high to the square. It will be in operation by or about Nov. (November) 10th. The people of Richmond will greatly appreciate the convenience of a first-class grist mill so near their town. Considerable grain still remains in the fields uncut, in Richmond, and great quantities are standing in the shock, the prolonged bad weather preventing farmers from hauling and thrashing it. Great loss will be the result. The Richmond Co-op is erecting a fine large brick store. The walls are up to the second story. It is the intention to rush it through to completion as soon as possible. |
