Proceedings Of = Meeting held by the r A.
irons of the Farmsrs' Cheese Factory,
March 3lst. 1877.
Esquire Hinchliffe was called to the
chair, and Thos. Griffith chosen Sec'y.
The object of the meeting having
been briefly stated by the Chairman,
the Patrons proceeded to the cOnside-
ration of different subjects presented,
the first being the price of making
cheese. Several gentlemen spoke on
the subject, and the general tendency
was toward u re.lucti OH in the usual
price of the factory.
The proprietor w. Thomas
made two propositions, as follows /:
lst, To make the cheese, guarantee
and sell the same, and do the figuring
for twelve per C. mt. of the amount OF
sales. End, TO make the cheese, guar
antee and sell them, and do the figur-
ing for t$l.l5) one dollar and fifteen
cents per hundred lbs. cheese. The
latter proposition was adopted.
The next question of Importance
was, How to secure a better protection
against the imposition of sending bad
milk to the factory. Different patrons
expressed their opinions rs to the best
course TO pursue, and it was finally
agreed that the Secretary draft reso-
luton to that effect.
The next thing introduced was, how
the patrons were to obtain their money.
After some discussion, proposition
was offered, that the proprietor deposit
the money and issue checks to the
patrons for their respective apportioir-
ments. The vote being tie, the Chair
rendered his decision sin the negative.
Another proposition was ADOPTED,
that the proprietor strike a dividend
and make out statements for every
sale, the time for settlement not to
exceed thirty days from the time the
last cheese of each sale he delivered.
There being nothing before the house
at this instant, the Secretary submit
ted the aforesaid resolution for con-
sideratiOn. The same was amended,
and afterwards accepted unanimously,
and reads as follows:
RESOLVED, That we, the undersign-
ed, patrons of the Farmers Cheese
Factory, pledge ourselves to comply
with the rules of the factory; and we
agree that any patron or patrons who
will knowingly violote any rule or
rules of said factory, shall forfeit his
or their whole interest in the dividend
fOrthe month or months in which such
violation may occur. And we agree,
further, that such fOrfeitures shall be
apportioned among the other patrons.
All the patrons who were present
attached their names to the resolution,
evidently satisfied that such q policy,
cannot prove otherwise than promo
tive of the interest of dairymen. and
help raise the standard of Western
Reserve Chez Sc Factories.
The proprietor announced that the
factory would open April End. and a
resolution was passed that the proceed
ings of the meeting be published in
each OF the County papers.
The meeting then adjourned.
Signed: URIAH HINCHLIFFE,
Chairman.

affirmative reply to that question was
afforded last week at the residence OF

pearance OF a score or more of those

most convincing tests of their power

Cores pondence.
Mr.. EDITOR Politically we oil feel
as Ben Butler expressed it-as happy
as we can. The Southern Policy is
being carried out about as near the
Democratic idea as could be expected.
How those who have bargained and
sold. and pledged, and promised. and
lied about the Southern question to
clear up their record is question for
those to look after wh1 are badly
mixed up in the bargain and sale of
the expressed will of the American
people. The financial question which
won't down at anybody's bidding, is
again looming up in fearful proper
tions. The people are getting uneasy
under this fearful state of depression
of business, and they are going to ask
Of Congress some relief. The law for
the return to specie payments in 70
must be repealed.
The beautiful weather since April
came in has been well improved by
the farmers, and many of them have
their oats sowed, and their spring
work we'll advanced for the season.
Preparations are being made for put
ting out more than the usual amount
of spring crops.
Wheat stands well and bids fair for
a good crop.
Stock of all kinds has come through
The winter looking well and we here
but few complaining of scarcity of
feed
We hear much complaint from me-
chanics about dull times. The out
look for them is not encouraging; but
little building and few improvements
this season.
The Temperance question which ia
agitating the public mind to large
extent at the present time is receiving
it's proper amount of attention here.
Several speakers have been here from
RavenDa, who have infused something
ef their enthusiasm into the people
here. The churches are coming up
grandly to the work, and large num-
bers are signing the pledge many
who never drank, and many who were
in the habit OF drinking. Our pledge
includes all classes and all ages, from
eight or ten years old, to persons over
eighty. The Dumber of signatures at
each meeting ranges from twenty
three, the lowest number, to eighty
five the highest We have now over
three hundred signaturs, and the in.
terest seems to be on the increase. We
still have many who have no faith in
this Temperance movement. AS yet
we have heard no argument against
temperance and none in favor of in.
temperance. The inference we draw
from this is that it is good work and
should enlist the support of every
good citizen, and especially every
Christian man and woman in our com
munity. IL.

FIRE IL DRERrIELn.-The two-stoIy
frame dwelling of Mrs. Earnest, ona
mile East of Deerfield center was de-
stroyed by fire between nine and ten
o'clock OH Monday morning, the 9th
inst. The fire is supposed to have
caught from sparks falling upon the
roof from the chimney. Most of the
furniture and household goods in the
lower part of the house were saved.
The Toss is estimated at from $1,000 to
$500, with no insurance.
