At q Meeting OF the Stockholders
This Morning a Site Was Selec-
ted and Other Important

1t is no longer a question as to
whether or not Mexico will have a
creamery. A meeting of the stock
holders was held in the County Court
room, at eleven O'Clock Wednesday
morning, which was well attended
and at which some important BUSH
ness was transacted.
The meeting was called to order by
ID. G. Williams, vice-president of the
Creamery Manufacturing and Building
Company of Chicago, who is the gem
tleman that started the ~projectin this
city. B. II. Cauthorn was made chair
man and j. \. Cross secretary. On
motion it was decided to appoint a
| committee of five to act as a locating
and building committee and the fol-
lowing gentlemen were appointed: Il.
r. Cauthorn, j. N. Cross, William
Fecht. V. o. p. King and l.. :. Hop
kins. Propositions for a location
were then considered ami the ttrst and
only one read was entered by Il. Il.
Cauthorn and read as follows:
"MFXICo, Mo-, November l2.-To
the Stockholders in the Locating and
Building Committee of the Mexico
! Creamery: If You will locate the
creamery on my farm, near town, |

plant; the use of a good pond for wa
ter and all the clear water needed
from our drilled well. We also have
up q large lot of rock, which, If need
ed,you can have for the cost of setting
up"
tSigned) b. r. CAUTHoRN.
After the proposition had been read
Mr.. Cauthorn rose and stated that he
was willing to give, entirely free, all
the land that was~needed for their
plant, be it a half or whole acre, or
more. He also said that whenever
extra horses were needed, he would
gladly tender the use of some of his.
MIR. King then said that he thought no
better offer could be made and moved
that it be accepted and that Mr.. eau
thorn be rendered the thanks of the
stockholders. This motion was unani-
mously carried, and the Mexico cream
cry will be located on Mr.. Cauthorn's
farm, northwest of this city. The work
of erecting the Buildings and putting
in the machinery will be commenced
in a short time. In so generously
Offering a location, Mr.. Cauthorn
showed the deep interest he takes in
doing good for his city and county and
every person in Audrain county will
appreciate his generosity. Mr.. Will
liam5, of Chicago, was much pleased
with the selection and said he had not
expected such an unusual offer. The
stockholders in the Mexico Creamery
are among the best men in the county
and no doubt twill be a grand success.
