We are informed by the treasurer of the
Nershire Creamery Co. that the patrons OF
that creamery were paid during the month
OF August, % cents per pound for butter,
instead OF is cents, as we reported last
week. We based our repor. last week up
on the statement OF patron OF the YER
shire creamery who, we supposed, would
know what price he received Tor his but
ter. If we understand it correctly, how
ever, the returns are not made up on the
same basis at Nershire as they are here.
Nershire does not deduct from the price
per pound, the cost per pound for draw
ing, while at the local creamery the draw
ing Is deducted. iuth item Oh AihNAhk
would make difference in price OF very
nearly, or quite three cents per pound.
This should be taken into consideration in
comparing the two prices.
WANrED.-A young man in my harness
shop. b. BERRY.
The two recent fires in town, coming as
they did, within three days of each other,
and the buildings in both cases being un-
protected by insurance, have had the eff
feet OF arousing those who were carrying
no insurance, to a realizing sense of their
unprotected position. AS result many
people in this vicinity have been taking
out policies and the insurance business
has been rushing for the past week.
CARD.-We wish to thank the many
friends and kind neig abors for so faith
fully and tenderly assisting us in caring
for our little one during her last illness
and for the sympathy shown in our be-
reavement.
MRS. AND MIR. GEO. II. BACON AND
MISSES BACON.
