S Among the enterprises boasted by Rensselaer there is none of more importance to the town and country than its grist mill. It is ■the only one in tbs county we believe that grinds wbeat; there may be others where people can have their corn and buckwheat ground, but this one grinds wheat in addition to the other grain and does its work well. This year there was no good wheat grown in our county,, and it one buys a good article ot flour it must come fromi abroad. Messrs. C. D. A J. M. Hopkins, who now run the mill, not only grind oorn, buckwheat, and wheat brought to them by neighboring farmers, but they also keep an excellent quality of foreign flour, whioh is warranted to be first olasa. Prices at the mill are as follows: Best quality of flour, from old crop wheat, 18.60 per barrel; buckwheat flour $3 per hundred pound?; corn pjeal 50 cents a bushel.
