VALLEY DAIRYMEN's CLUB.-On Wednesday
last in this place, the Valley Dairymen's Club
was organized by the election of the following
officers:
PREsIDENT-David Condor;
SECRETARY.-Absalom Coner
DIRECTORS. David Condor, Samuel Ell. Bell,
Asher w. Hartman, VIM Wilson, Absalom

A committee to prepare Constitution and
By Laws and to secure suitable agent IN Rich
mond was appointed. It consists of the follow
ing:
A. Koiner, D. Condor and S. Ell. Bell. =
It is the object of this club to furnish milk for
Richmond, and will commence sending as soon
as the requisite arrangements can be made It
can be sent on the Railroad at the rate of six
cents per gallon in cars containing ten gallons
EACH We hope this new enterprise will prove
a success
A writer in the Richmond Wing, in reference
to this organization, suggests that, 'instead of
sending milk to Richmond and taking the chan
ces of detentions or losses from railroad acct
dents or otherwise, the VALLEY Dairyman' S
Club will proceed forthwith to establish but
ter factory on large scale, use steam power for
churning, employ the most expert butter makers
in the United States, pack their products in neat
pals or otherwise, and do whatever else may be
required to commend their butter to public IA
vor, and the result will be an influx of profits to
which that expected from the proposed milk
trade will pear no comparison"

cessively hot weather, and the free use OF Ice
water. fruits and vegetables, are most apt to ere
ate disorders of the stomach and bowels which,
if not checked in time. not unfrequently lead to
cholera. diarrhea and dysentery. Whatever
the natural health and vigor of man or woman,
excessive heat is apt to produce languor as well
as inertness in the digestive organs ana II ma
ture is not speedily aided in the performance OF

the system. Dyspepsia one OF the mos1
loathesome and annoying diseases known to the
human family, receives its vitality and gains Its
power from disordered digestion. If taken IN
its incipient stages 1t is easy enough to subdue,
but when it once gets fair hold the patient is
forced to endure much before he can get perma-
nent relief Now, under these circumstances,
we ask if it is not passing strange that persons OF
ordinary capacity become so short-slghted to
their own interests as not to avail themselves OF
certain and sReeay somaehs f becoming
disordered and their digestion growing torpid
And yet such cases may be found IN every nelgn-
