Death of One of GriHn's Best

Griffin, Ca, Jan. I.-There IS now no
doubt about the establishing Of a creamery
in Griffin for the enthusiasm displayed at
the court house to-day by a large number
of farmers, is sufficient proof that they
have determined to devote their energies
10 other things than the raising Of cotton.
The farmers met for the purpose Of dis
cussing the creamery and learning what
progress had been made toward securing
the 400 COWS which are necessary 10 run
the plant; Mr.. John Wallace OF Iowa, who
proposed TO build and operate. the cream
cry, said tina. great many farmers had
promised 10 sign the contracts to furnish
cows. and ne was confident the enterprise
would be carried to success
The sentiment was very strong for the
establishment OF the creamery. but the
farmers were mistaken in thinking each
man must carry his own milk to the
creamery. That would not prove profit
able but the better way would be TO have
milk routes over every road in the county
and let the farmers along each route pay
some one to call for and deliver their milk
every morning BY this arrangement the
farmers could get their milk 10 the cream
cry al "A very small cost with no trouble
Mr.. Wallace said the great trouble with
creameries in the South was the difficulty
OF obtaining ice, but in his plant this
would rot be the case. as he would have
an ice machine and if the farmers would
furnish sufficient milk he would have a
creamery here that would be the equal of
any In the country
There VIII BE Money In 1t.
A committee was appointed from each
district in the county to work up enthusi-
assn among their ncighbors. and induce
them to 90 into the enterprise. Upon mo-
ton of S. NJ Wayman, =. +. Carey. route
agent foI the Southern Express Company.
was added to the committee. Mr. Carey
said he saw notice in the papers Of the ef-
fort 10 establish a creamery in Griffin, and
as his business VS. 10 draw up patronage
for the express company, he came TO Grlf-
fin to attend the meeting and see what was
Gone. He was glad TO assist them in any
way, and promised liberal rates to an
persons shipping milk to the creamery.
Col Redding made a short talk which
was listened to with interest by all present.
He said the creamery was the best thing
for the farmers he knew Of. He said they
could make butter fat a cost not exceed /
tng Y TO Il cents per pound, and sell the
creamery an they could produce for 20
cents. which certainly beats raising cotton
at present prices.

Dorothy. the S-year-old baby of Alder
man B. b. Davis of this city, while plav-
