 The Chautauqua Circle will meet Fri. day evening at the Methodist church.
 The talk of creamery in Stafford, which has been heard for over a year past, has as yet progressed no further than vague talk. We hear now that parties interested have taken steps to have party address the farmers at an early day, probably at 7 the town hall. So many of our sister towns now have creameries that those interested can learn by the experience of others and so save themselves the cost of experiment. ing. Farmers, of course, understand fully the points we could advance That ours is a good grazing and hay country, none better for dairy purposes. That cream cries Ewith advantages of frequent churn- ings, enforced cleanliness and system turn ont better butter than the average house. wife can make with her lesser advantages. That knowing this the consumers now call for creamery butter, at higher price than they will pay for the average farmers but ter. That the collection of the milk at their. doors ends the farm work, leaving : the farmers wife time for other employ SHaents .or: needed rest. That the farmers are stockholders in the creamery, its profits are theirs, but at the same time a fair fixed price is paid for all milk brought in. These are few matters for consideration. At the meeting fuller explanation will be given by one familiar with the subject Let every farmer, and, if possible, his wife also, go and hear and be prepared, if struck fayorably by the scheme, to pledge on the spot the product of a given number of COWS to the creamery, also, if possible, the taking of portion of stock. It is not an. ticipatedithat there will be any difficulty in gettingsthe stock subscribed for, but it is better that the farmers shall own the creamery, and its-patrons be interested in it's success.
 -Oenterville (Dakota) papers mention at considerabless length the wedding cere- mony at that place, Thanksgiving day, which united Hannibal Alden and Helen H. Dodson. One of these says of the groom ssMr. Alden has been identified with the progress of Centerville to 8 con- siderable extent. Last spring he went to Topeka, Kansas, to take 8 position in a publishing house. While here he made many warm friends, and much more that is complimentary. Of the bride: "A daughter of 0. H. Dodson, and has filled an important place in our post office as assistant postmaster. Her zeal in the cause of temperance was only limited by her physical endurance. She was largely in. strnmental in organizing and keeping up the r. ". c. T, D. of our town. In church and Sunday school work her zeal and pres enee were positive and to be relied on. ," The notices made are at length, and rich in compliments and good wishes for the future, all which are warmly seconded by the eastern friends of MT. Alden.
