The deceased was in her usual health until Friday morning, July 19th, when she took suddenly ill. Doctors were called in who pro- nounced it. a case of acute dyspepsia, and although everything was done for her it was of no use. and on Tuesday at 11 a. m, she passed peace- fully aud quietly away. Deceased was formerly Miss Emma Wise, daughter of Mrs. Geo. Clever, of Orchard. and was at one time a school girl of Durham, where she was well and favorably known, as she was always a favorite of all who knew her. Twelve veIrs ago she was married to Mr. John Prentice, her now sorrowing husband, who with four children. the youngest be- ing only four months old, mourns the loss of akind and loving wife and mother.

VICKERS. oâ€"QO.Q.â€"-§-â€"â€"-â€". GRADING or ROADS AND SWITCHES NOW IN P3003588 HERE. Cement Booming For some weeks we have said tery little on the question, not because we have lost faith, nor yet because we had a shadow of doubt regarding the successful culmination of the scheme, but because we wished to devote our Space more fully to local matters. We are now in a position to report progress as work has actually begun. The surveying is about completed. Three carloads of implements 'are on the ground, and grading the road and switches are now in progress. The stone crusher is on the ground. and hundreds of loads of stone will be prepared during the next two or three weeks for the foundations of the mill and other purposes. Two or three carloads of Cement from Cement City, Michigan, were unload- ed last week, and an eXpert cement block manufacturer is on hand to begin their manufacture just as soon as tm: machine. which was shipped some days ago. arrives from Jackson. Michigan. The fact is we concluded it would be well to give the matter a rest for a time, knowing something of the enor. mous amount of preliminery work necessary before commencing actual operations in a manner that would satisfy the public mind that actual operations had really begun. Though we have said nothing. however, there has been no cessation in the work. The surveying and drafting have been going on incessantly, and the preparation of plans, the framing of tendi rs, and the accurate work of getting out specifications in the thousand and one difl'erent details incident to the inauguration of such a huge undertaking, is no small mat- ter in the initial stages of building a cement mill, such as we are putting in here. ' At a meeting of the Board in the city of Detroit last week, a number of tenders were opened and extensive purchases of heavy machinery were contracted for to be built at once. Let us say also that the machinery purchased is of the most modern type, and what has already been put. chased Will cost more than many cement plants have cost altogether. The Company started out with the intention of building a mill with a capacity of one thousand barrels a day, using as a model the mill now in Operation in Cement City. “ with additions and improvements sug- gested by experience gained in the erection of that plant.” The mill there is now making a thousand bar- rels a day, and in the purchase of machinery made last week. provision was made for a 1200 barrel-a-day capacity in the mill here. Nor will they stop here. Every provision is made in the plans for extending the capacity so that in the course of two or three years we may safely count on having a cement mill in Durham with a capacity of at least 2000 bar- rels a day. “'e tried formerly to give some conception of the magnitude of the Cement City mills. but we knew that we fell far short of the mark. Last week Mr. Gilbert McKechnie was over there. and, though he thought he knew something of it before from what he had heard and read. he is willing now to admit, that it was only after going through the plant from start to finish and observing evervthing in actual process of manu- facture, that he could speak intelli- gently on the subject of a cement mill. We understand that the stock is going fast, and in three or four weeks more it will be all subscribed. 11? THE sunnoaun coun'r or THE COUNTY or GREY.
