A FARMERS’ ELEVATOR.

To be Built at Monticello by a ' Farmers’ Stock Co. Monticello Herald: A new grain elevator is soon to be erected here by a joint company of farmers. Among the promotors are M. B. Spencer, Harry Lowe, R. D. Roberts, Jas. C. Hutton and David Dilling. Four lots have been purchased from Chas. A. Holladay north of the Cement Tile Works on the Monon, where a switch is already built and only needs a slight extension to meet the needs of the new company. The enterprise will be capitalized at $12,000. The work of building will commence at once, and it is expected to have the elevator in operation by the time the present corn crop is ready to move. A committee went to Rockfield by automobile Monday to insptect the elevator there now in charge of Fred Roberts, with a view to adopting its plan of construction.
