April q, 1896. Y
Mr.. GoopHuE. Dear Sir-Sometime ago
received letter from you stating that there
were several farmers wishing to put on milk
at Walpole in our Bellows Falls car. AS our
car was overloaded at that time, we have
made arrangements now to take all milk that
wishes to come on. | have instructed nv
agent to come up to see you. We shall carry
out any agreements he makes. II the pro-
ducers wish to come on before he sees you let
me know. | shall send up cans at once.
Please let me hear from you at once.
Respectfully,
VIM. GRAusTEIN.
And now / want to ask all honest and
candid producers which one, if either, of
these statements of President Graustein
will you believe. 1t is a matter Of fact
that f. o. Smalley did 20 to Westminster
and did then and there make an agreement
with the farmers, as they all aver, and did
for the first six months and "a cents for
the last six, delivered at Bellows Falls.
But alas, this honest President Graustein
says they have no agents and they don't
propose to pay the farmers OF Westminster
any more than they pay other producers.
! Tuesday, January 5, has been set apart
for settlement. We are informed that
the farmers have offered to give Mr..
Graustein his way in the matter FIVE months
out of the six if he will settle and give
them full pay according to agreement one
month, qnite a c)ncession on the part of
farmers five to one with good legal agree
ment.
| We regard this milk industry as practi-
cally worthless under the present state of
things; no commodities can be produced
for less than the cost price. There might
be good deal of argument brought up in
favor of returning to the old commodities
Of butter and cheese when the milk is taken
into account for feeding purposes; or in
other words if the producers have got to
} sell their milk at butter price would it not
be far better for them to have it done at
home and manage it themselves.
Now in view of all the circumstances we
believe that if producers want relief they
can have it by simply coming forward and
taking a stand so that contractors will
understand they mean business.
Producers have the goods and they rep
resent very large capital. There is no
possible reason why they shall not say who
/, shall have the goods and find at what price.
t Of course we mean to be understood that
: the disposition of milk and prices should
! be in accordance with equity and justice.
o Now | want to urge every one in the
d meeting to be held in the G.. A. r. hall il
k Bellows Falls, Wednesday January 6, 1897
II at o'clock P. NJ. | also give motto,

v union will be held in Boston, January Is

Lady wemyss' Directions for Her FuneraI.

Lazy "emyss directions Tor Her Funeral.
The Countess of Wemyss, VINO died
recently, was somewhat notable fig
ure in London's fashionable world, not
only for her kindness and hospital
iJy, but for her sound common sense.
A passage in her will relating to the
manner in which she desired her fun
eral service to be conducted is distinct
]y interesting. 1t runs as follows:
i particularly wish that no under
taker should have anything at all to
do with the management beyond pro-
viding the coffin, which desire should
be made as plain as it is possible to
make it. l wish the coffin to be laid
on the frame of farm cart or lorry,
covered with purple or some colored
fabric, not black, so-called pail, and
drawn by four horses, led by their own
drivers, and / should like to be carried
to the grave by such friends, workers
on the estate, as are willing to do So
I hope that blinds will not be drawn
down or Grape worn, and that there
will be as little outward sign of mourn.
ing as possible. 1 hope these wishes
will not be looked upon in any way as
eccentric. They are not so. They are
simply the expression of feeling that
pomp and expenditure in funerals are
unbecoming, and that death at the end
of a long and happy life is more a
matter of thankfulness and rejoicing
than lamentations or woe:
sleep after toyle, port after stormit
seas,
Ease after ware, death after life,
Doe greatly please"
Lady Wemyss's wishes in regard tt
her funeral were carried out, though
in place of the plain coffin one of pol
ished oak, with heavy brass mount
dngs. was provided.

you represent F. o. Smalley as our agent a,
Bellows Falls. We have no agent to repre-
sent us at Bellows Falls or transact any bust
ness whatever. Have several men who dc
manual labor in which capacity f. O. Smalley
was employed. We are using our farmers al
we always have and as our contracts real
from October to April l. The price of mill
has been reduced on account of its reduction

demand and extremely low price of butt l.
We hope every producer will join the New

We do not expect to satisfy all, especial,
those turned off for being dishonest with us

Mr.. Henry Rose the popular
wholesale grocer was the first to
undertake this modern improve
ment on the beginning Of the sea-
son but by some means his has
never proven successful, owing to
the lack of power to run the ma
chinery. But as the cold storage
process has been thoroughly tried
and proven a successful in other
cities. there is no reason why
Shreveport should not keep pace
in the march Of progress.
In an interview this week with
Mr.. Ouebes, the reporter was in

man that he had met with un-
bounded success with his new

plant has been run to its fullest
capacity in order to supply his
