The stone building on the bank of the river, east side of Main street, has been purchased by Wilkerson Brothers, who will fit up therein a first class flouring mill. The elder brother of the same enterprising family has also purchased from A. S. Lathrop, Esq., the building now occupied in part by the county offices. Mr. Wilkerson intends to convert the building into a hotel. The county offices will soon be removed to the jail building.
