aug 7th 1834 to t1ic agriculturists and farmers who inteitfd bringing ti1e1k rve and indian corn to kingston market for several years past the subscriber has carried on the distilling business at this place and where the farmer found ready sale for the above kinds of grain and received his cash this is therefore to give notice that the subscriber is under the disa greeable necessity of saying that he cannot purchase any more grain until the will and power ofihe au thority in this place are known and it appears there is an intention of leading characters hereto stop my distillery and i certainly think they cannot be par tial to put down a part of the distilleries only if they have that power the pica appears to be that piggeries are unhealthy and unpleasant to the smell as to their being unhealthy i assert with out fear of any just contradiction that in all places where 1 have been acquainted it has proved other wise aud at this place where the cholera has pre vailed not a single instance of any person or work man living at or near where the effluvia of the pig gery or a distillery is iias taken the disease and otherwise are as healthy as elsewhere 1 refer par ticularly to mr drummonds and my own distille ries- the time in passing a piggery is short and the effluvia not more disagreeable than most of us cs- ferience daily and without a murmur therefore if cannot take any benefit from the slops of my dis tillery i cannot pursue the business aud my distil leryand premises must lie dormant 1 shall have cause to regret ever commencing the business here as the consequence would be a serious aud ruinous oss in premises and works not calculated for any other business a damage to farmers in the sale ol their grain and to the merchants who expect to get a share from the farmer as the time of year is near at hand when distilling grain might be coming to market 1 wish to give no tice that it will be well for farmers to ascertain what prirecun be obtained and a free csh inaiket for it the perfect good understanding that i have had wiih the farmers generally in the purchasing ol trait is the reason why this timely notice is given kingston august 15th 1834 to let one
