A PROSPEROUS CREAMERY.

The Marketable creamery continues to grow in popularity with it's patrons, ,judg-
 ing by the increasing amount of butter being made. John Milton Ford, the pro- prietor, during the last season has built very complete creamery building. It is equipped with the latest labor saving machinery, and everything is so arrang- ed as to save steps. The building is 40x24. MT Ford is now turning out from 1900 to 1900 pounds of butter week, and he could sell much more if he had the cream to make it. His butter maker, Nicholas Glennon, manufactures as fine all article as can be found. Mir Ford has one customer who uses 16 cases week, and who would take more. He has be- tween 40 and 50 patrons, and one farmers cheek footed up total of $147 for one month. Although MT Ford is \ man along in the seventies, he is ' gentleman Of tremendoua energ mn there sre feu men uho eonld as seeo ld l.at 2!

PROGRESSIVELY.

The chief point of interest to the farmers at the present time is the possi- bilities of the organization of a co-opera- tive creamery. With only the interested farmers as share holders and under good management it cannot be otherwise than success, affordng as it will good and accessible market for the cream, having at the same time the the skim milk to be disposed of as any individual producer may see fit, which as a rule can be put to good profit.
 It is a sslf-evident fact that there are men sufficiently interested in the we'll fare of our town and in the happiness of our homes to carry no-license ticket. Now that election is over we sincerely hope there are men and women active enough and of sufficient moral courage to see that the law be enforced, and completely exterminate such public menace.

GRANGE ITEMS.

On Wednesday evening, September 26, the question, "How Shall Taxation be Capitalized was discussed. No part of lhe population of our land feels the need If a radical change in taxation so great " as do the tillers of the soil. The prob lem can be solved only by sending bet ter representation of the interests of the farmer to the "General Assembly," of the state. An Assembly composed of professional men and capitalists will not enact laws increasing their own taxes. If the farmer pays S5 per cent of the taxes, is he not entitled to an S5 per cent representation among the framers of the law? Can he hope that taxation will ever be equalzed if he sends Representatives
 who do not represent his interests? The discussion was followed by humorous re citations by Brothers Kilborn and Clark The Worthy Lecturer announced tha

THE ANNUAL TOWN MEETING.

THE ANNUAL TOWN MEETING.
 The annual town meeting on Monday was the most largely attended for some years. Judge Guy c. Ford, as usual, was called on to act as moderator, and he performed his duties to the satisfac- tion of all. Deputy Collector of Reve- nue Hermann Hoffman set the ball roll ing by an attack on the town report, He said he had no idea to impugn the honesty of any one of the honored board of selectmen. He called attention to the fact that the entire amount paid for road work in the town of Washing ton had exceeded $S0l3.9S. "Its stag gering; it's atrocious," exclaimed MT Hoffman. He said further that his idea was to call d halt in this extravagance on the road business, and exclaimed with eloquence, 'I stand ready to oppose 1t to the bitter end" Mir Hoffman had figured out that the town had expended $2050,3I for road work in the New Pres ton district alone. He stated that he had travelled through 2S towns and the roads were fully as good as Washing tons, and they didn't keep at work on lem all the while. There was some talk about the sum carried over from last year by Selectmen Kilborn and Averill. Frank Hallock also participated in this discussion. The selectmen's report was accepted also the school visitors and a l3 mill tax was laid. It was voted to adopt the report of the selectmen in changing the location of the road from the foot of Long Hill and leading across the railroad track, doing away with two grade crossings. The new road will bt placed on the east side of the track The Shepaug railroad pays the entire OK pense. A change in the roadway wa voted to be made near the residence o Elanthan Mitchell, moving the road

MT Meramble was thrown down the bank with the velocipede, and marvelously escaped death. Although lame and sore he went to his home, wher he missed the watch.

It was so the last week with one of the famous shots of our place. c. T.

In good position his unerring rife brought down the animal shot through the head. Upon going up to 1t we found 1t to be squir- rel that measured 9 inches long. had met 1t once before and since then have been miles and miles to see it again, but was not successful until now.

Said He Got His Wounds in a Fight
With Abe Small and His Friends.
There was a rumor circulated through
the city yesterday that Abe Small had
been shot and captured by Detective
HUMPHREYS. Everybody seemed to be
talking about it, but definite information
on the subject was scarce.
1t was soon learned that it was not De-
tective HUMPHREYS, but William Prenty,
who had the reported tussle with the no.
torious criminal. Prenty came into the
city yesterday morning and claimed to
have captured Small He said he was
given information as to his whereabouts,
located him in the woods out on the White
Bluff road, and came upon him yesterday
morning. He says his head was grazed by
a ball from Smalls Winchester. He tells
story about a struggle with the negro
and says he shot Small in the groin and
then turned him over to an officer Small,
however, has never shown up, and the bar
racks and hospital knew nothing about the
case last night.
Prenty was wounded on the head and
face, apparently with some blunt instru-
ment His wounds were dressed by DR..
Stanley on York street. He was appar-
emily badly bruised and beaten, and if he
did not see Small as he said, there is
plenty of evidence that he saw someone
who knew how to use him about as bad as
Small and the two or three friends he is
said to have around him.

others, excepting Screven and bingham,

LOST A PEARL PIN.

It Travelled Around Pawnshops and
Barbershops Before Being Recovered.
A lady living on Hall street, near Bar
nard, lost a pearl pin day or two ago,
and the circumstances seemed to point
to a colored man working in the house as
the thief. So clear a case it seemed that
he was placed under arrest, though he
whereabouts of the pin, or having taken
it, He was held, however, until the mat
ter could be Investigated.
Inquiry at two of the pawnshops brought
out the fact that the pin had been offered
for pawn at them, but the darby who
offered it wanted more than the pawn
brokers were willing to give. This took
place on Tuesday. The man first arrested
was held yesterday morning after police
court and during the day a colored
barber named Rogers, whose shop is on
Habersham street, came in and reported
THAI his place had been robbed, his
money drawer in which was pearl pin,
and several other articles had been stolen
from him. Shortly after one of his
employees showed up, and stated he had
found a pearl pin at Hall and Barnard
streets, that such pin had been ad-
vertised for and that he had turned 1t
over to Rogers, who, the boy said, put up
the claim that he had been robbed in or
der to get the reward, or for some other
purpose. Detective Hanley took the case
in hand and succeeded yesterday after
noon in making Rogers give up the pin,
which will be restored to the owner. The
Tlan first arrested on suspicion was
promptly released, and due amends made.
