In Favor Of a Creamery.


We have assurance from farmers that
they are ready to guarantee three hun
dred cows TO supply creamery with milk.
if one should be started in Milford. A
large majority Of these cows are Alder.
ney, and all are good butter makers. We
are glad to see an interest manifested in
this enterprise by the farmers, because it
means new era for many in farming;
because the grain raised here will be fed;
which in turn strengthens the manure
and increases its quantity, and will cause
land to be used for pasture that in many
instances is unproductive for want Of i'm :
provement.
0There are parties inquiring into the
conditions with a view to start
ting creamery In Milford, and with the
assurance that the cows are ready, we
shall expect to see it in operation before
summer commences.

VIM. Morris departed this life Febru- I

For a number of years he had been frail I
in body, but not in spirit, in this respect
he was strong. He spent his life in and
near the community in which he was
born, aud DO one can say .ught against
him as friend, neighbor and chsistian.
Not even those who knew him from his
boyhood days. As a friend he was true,
as a reighbor he was Accommodating
and kind, and as a christian he was ex- t
When quite young he conse- d
Grated his heart to God. aud his life ever il
after was In strict accord with his early Il
profession. 1t is believed he faithfully n
discharged the duties of life in his home, a
in the church and in his community. Il
To say he was universally respected by n
all his acquaintance, is only expressing b
the truth. OF this one would be con "
vinced, when in his last illness his adj a
miripg friends came from every direction Ia
o show the high regard in which they il
1eld him, and encouraged him in his der p
shining hours. The writer of this notice I
visited him when lie was very near the p

he full assurance of his acceptance with as
Christ was sublimely beautiful. His un- 81
faith and positive hope Of gain 81
