1t. Miss Dawkins received the lady'f

The evening was very enjoyable
one.
The new creamery was started
last Monday. The quantity Of milk
received the first day was 5000 pounds
which is very good for this season OF
the year. Before the old creamery
was burned 1000 or 5000 pounds were
usually received. Many of the pa
irons OF the Middletown creamery
have been going to Townsend and
Odessa since the fire, but in a few
weeks they will nearly all return,
especially those who are nearer to
Middletown than to the other places.
Tits not expected by the company
that many Of the old customers will
be lost. The new building is about
35 by 65 feet, is fitted out with the
best machinery to be had and is far
more conviently arranged than was
the old building. The ice machine
which was almost entirely destroyed
In the fire win probably not be re-
placed this year. The insurance on
the old building has been nearly
enough to pay for the new one, and
has been promptly paid. During the
interval between the burning OF the
old creamery and the starting OF the
new, the merchants of Middletown
have suffered from serious falling
OF In sales. Everyone is glad to see
the creamery again in operation.
