Our annual town meeting passed by
in quiet and harmonious manner
From time immemorial the Republicans
have led the van, and this year was no
exception. Party spirit is not so rife
here as in many localities in our State.
Sectional interests and feelings, how
ever, sometimes render our elections ex-
tremely bitter and unpleasant The
spirit which seems to prevail, is, that
the most competent men, irrespective of
party, shall be the successful nominees.
A town influenced by such motives, will
ling the best men should should hold the
offices of trust and honor; ready to cast
partisanship aside, is deserving of more
than ordinary commentator. For some
years past we have noticed in our yearly
meetings new and attractive feature.
which certainly should receive a mo-
ments attention. The rising generation,
the younger members of the comm unity
are being elected to positions of trust
and Importance. The young must be
trained, must be well disciplined in Or
der to contend successfully with life's
angry pillows, and in our humble Opin-
ion there is no discipline, no training so
good as that OF responsibility.
OuI oClIDC gave us ldSb NtGh, III d
felicitous and transformations style,
purely characteristic of the mana
glowing description of the "Grand Ball
at Downer's. CHANGING over the first
part of the report, we concluded the
gentleman must have been present, but
coming to the dance mo .supertluous
display" our opinion was instantly
changed, and the inference drawn that
the information so graphically protray-
ed, must have come from a second per
son. The one uttering no word of cen
sure 1t was grand party; but would
simply suggest that " honor be given to
whom honor is DUE" in other words
make no inyidiOus distinction in regard
to persons.
Rev S. F. Brown, pastor Of the
Baptist church, was agreeably surprised
on the evening of the 28th Of last
month, by a visit from his numerous
friends and parishers, of this and neigh
boring towns. A bountiful collation. was
furnished at the house of Mr. Bragg.
The guests were in a happy state of
mind, and were kindly received and hos
pitably entertained by the Pastor and
wife, who have the entire respect and
confidence of the community at large
The pleasures of the evening were in

Late Dairy Markets,
CHEESE.

During the past week there has been
! another advance of one cent a pound.
| The receipts have been very light, and
the rapid rise of prices will bring for
ward the cheese that has been lying back
I ill the hands of producers. The receipts
| at New York for the week ending Sat
urday last were 1917 boxes. and the ex-
| ports We're 1851 boxes. The highest
! price paid for cheese was 10 cents For
the corresponding week last year the
receipts were 1898 boxes, and the exports
We're 1855 boxes The highest quota
tons were 165 cents, the price now be
ing . cents better than it was at this
time last year. There are probably less
than $4,000 boxes of cheese in the coun-
try unsOld, which shows an eXtraorii-
nary light stock on hand. This stock is
evidently in the hands of dealers who
are determined to make up some of their
previous losses on cheese. They already
refuse 10 cents. and are confident they
will get 30 cents.
The New Orleans market has been
cleared of cheese, on account of the sus-
pension Of river transportation and in
terrupt1on Of railroad freights. The
New Orleans quotations are 16| and Il
cents.
In the London market the demand for
American cheese is active, even brisk,
because stocks are getting into such
small compass, and prices are 2s. to Is.
per hundred in advance, and still fur
ther improved rates are looked for

There has also been an advance of one
and two cents pound on butter of q,

better feeling in the market, and medi-
nm qualities have been sold. \ coed

so cents. There has beenno great effort
to put up prices, and holders are anxious
to sell The stock of old butter in mar
