It 1ms been known among the mill promoters in this city for some time that the Erwin Mill property in Cen terville Township waa an ideal place for a cotton mili. Up to last winter Mr. W. J. Erwin has been operating a flour mill ac this place, and along in January this property was sold to Mr. J. H. Bowden, a wealthy planter of Centerville Township, and who owns about a thousand acres adjoining the Erwin place.

Besides owning this big tract of land and a ginnery and the Erwin Mill property, Mr. Bowden has a tremen dous fruit farm and creamery in Cali fornia, which yields him a handsome income.
