Lewis Nordyke is now in operation, and
turning out about 200 TBS of cheese daily.

LOAN AND BUILDING AssocIATIoN.-A
number of our citizens are organizing a
Loan and Building Association, for the
purpose of furnishing funds on long time
to such as desire to secure homes of their
own. The workings OF the institution are
such that person renting, may build a
house and In few years pay for it with
the very money that would otherwise have
been paid out for rent. The articles of the
Association and such parts of the Bylaws
as are explanatory of its workings will be
published in time, when full information
may be derived. We think it good thing,
and that by availing themselves of its
privileges many poor men will be enabled
to secure homesteads without depriving
them ofany more than rent now costs.
