Al the last term of the Superior Court

company was secured. Under it a gen
seral trading business will be carried on,
the ipeorporators having no intention of
oorining themselves TO the one feature of
rnrchasing syrup from farmers and con-
yerring it into sugar ready for the market.

The officers of the company calculate
that they can operate the refinery at q

from whom they obtain the syrup fol

that can be done. Last season throughout

The demand for syrup will be sure Il
increase with refinery at hand for III
