 the store of the secretary and treasurer, Charles w. Hemingway. It was the an-
 nual meeting and also the last meeting, as
 the stockholders voted to wind up the
 company by disposing of the stock. The
 company was formed in 1883, and the
 stockholders consisted of H. H. Strong, l Harvey F. Hemingway, Henry R. Smith,
 way, Charles s. Bray, the estate of Henry
 J. Prudden, William J. -Atwater, E. Henry
 Barnes, George w. Crockett of North Ha-
 ven and George H. Crockett, now of Texas.
 The officers were: H. H. Strong, president; c. w. Hemingway, secretary and treas
 1rer and board of directors consisting of
 H. H. Strong, Henry R. Smith, George
 w. Crockett and Harvey F. Hemingway.
 The company bought 1,200 acres of ranch
 cased for $2 per acre and is now valued
 at $10. But the sellers have come in around
 the ranch so completely that the company
 has not sufficiently extensive range for it's
 $50 head of horses and mules and new
 location must be secured if the business is
 to be continued. The business manager is
 George H. Crockett, who remains on the
 ranch the year round. In view of all the
 conditions, the stockholders decided to sell
 to Manager Crockett. The stock cost
 $8,000 and is now sold for O,O00. The
 dividends from the investment have not
 come as frequently as could be wished
 but the stockholders believe that but for
 the fact that settlers were locating around
 the ranch, the business would have been
 profitable. They now sell $12, ,000 wortE , of land and $50 horses and mules all fol $10,000. The horses put off of the rancf every year were sold to Illinois and the mules were gent to Louisiana.

The mild weather of the past few week - has had the effect to injure the southerl f oyster trades. The mild weather ha made the western country roads so heav. @ that trade with the interior has been con : siderably affected. The decreased demand 7 from the west has depressed prices in tn Q south so that within the pas + few days Fair Haven dealers hay t been enabled to buy few oysters fror . | North Carolina, which were opened an , | shipped in barrels. Fair Haven dealer 7 say that their trade has fallen away con , siderable since New Years, as many c r the buyers in the country deem the pric j. too high for their customers. At th F prices asked, oysters are higher than othe l. | food and are considered luxury. Most C !. the dealers are getting from $1.20 to $1.4 @ per gallon.
