Judge Searle came to Joslin FRIDAY
morning last and staid over night
with c. NJ. Hubbart. 1t is always a
great luxury to have talk with the
Judge. He is a man with a well
stored mind and wide experience.
and is always ready primed to talk
tariff, silver, liquor traffic, or any
subject that may be broached. He
is equally at home with sacred and
profane history, and seems just as
familiar with Moses and the prophets
as If they had all been school bows
together.
Daley & Coffee have made a
unique arrangement with the cream
cry company, which may be termed
a treaty of reciprocity-that is, the
creamery furnishes the steam to run
the engine in the blacksmith shop
and in return DALEY & Coffee pump
water into the creamery boiler, car
rying out the idea that one good
turn deserves another. Or in other
words it is a free trade arrangement,
which is benefit to both. Do YOU
see?
