AT THE CREAMERY.

John Leavenworth is at work at the creamery. He has determined to work for two years or more, and thoroughly master the butter makers trade. It.is an excellent opening for an ambitious and energetic young man free from tobacco and other bad habits. Three other young men have been refused the place because they did not fill the requirements. MT Williams, graduate of Lebanon cream cry, nearly the largest creamery in the state, is at the head of the practical works and intends to retain this position at the larger creamery, now nearly co9- pleted at South Britain.
 There is general sentiment expressed by the patrons of the creamery that MT Agnew should buy and run it. He has many friends and could doubtless gain an increasing patronage.
