=, The Warren cheese factory closed its season
saturday, the 18th inst. much to the disap-
pointment of some of its patrons, who hoped
tnat 1t would be continued as had been intended
at least to the close of the present month. The
reason OF closing was the decline in the price
OF cheese, the directors fearing that they could
not manufacture their milk at the price they
nave advertised to pay without loss. They
were receiving about 1400 lbs. per day at the
time OF closing. Quite an amount Of cheese
mas been sold, all of it proving of excellent
quality.

1t having been stated that the State Liouor
Commissioners allowed the city of Bath to pur.
chase their liquors in Boston, ON condition that
he should receive the commission allowed by
law, the Bath Times says this is mistake.
The Commissioner simply said that if the
liquors kept by him were not considered salts
factory by the Bath Agent, he would buy such
as may be wanted in case the State Assayer
found them suitable for medicinal purposes.
The State Commissioner says that he sells no
liquors until the State Assayer has examined
them and pronounced them pure, and that in
every case thus far his prices have been less
than liquors of the same quality could be pur-
chased elsewhere.
