the counterpart of his costume lived
as new being for the time being
Doc Stearns was over Tuesday to
attend the meeting of the board of
directors of the Ross creamery, of
which he is the secretary. His foot
is rapidly improving. The "box"
was removed from 1t Monday and he
now hops easily about with the aid
of his crutches.
The share holders of the creamery
were busy the first of the week put
ting up ice for their summers use.
They have contracted for 40 loads of
ice from Mr.. Switzer, Of Audubon, or
about $4,000 pounds at 30 cts per ton.
Many of the patrons were kindly
lending hand in the storing away,
thus showing their appreciation OF
the plant.
Last Saturday night number of
those who love to chase the mystic
phantom of pleasure, gathered at the
pleasant home OF Everett Bates for
social dance. Revelry, the arch
enemy of melancholy, with mirth
and joy, led the young folks to go far
toward morning, and the cocks shrlll
clarion echoed ere they departed to
seek their beds. All unite in saying
they had good time.
The lecture given by Corporal
Krell at the church Monday and
Tuesday night were given to crowd
ed houses and were of such an instruc-
tive and interesting nature that all
felt they knew more of the Philip
pines than they did before Corporal
Krell was we'll known ere he left here
and is deserving of the success in this,
line that merit alone can bring.

The directors of the creamery held
meeting Tuesday to determine ON
plans OF procedure for the coming
year. This creamery is one of the
best institutions for the farmer that
there is in the country. Its interests
should be guarded with a jealous care,
and the patronage assured. The
stockholders so far have received no
interest on their investment as they
have given their profits to keep the
industry on its feet. They should
now be rewarded by liberal patron
age.
f. b. Fenton, the postmaster. bust
ness manager Of the general store and
head of the creamery at Viola Center,
was down to attend the meeting of
the directors of the Ross Creamery
Tuesday. Mr.. Fenton has just lately
assumed the management of the
creamery and was down to make ar
engagements with the Ross Creamery to
receive the cream from his point. He
thinks the arrangements can be com
pleted at an early date. He has gone
to this new work with his usual vim
and already has five teams on as MANY
routes and hopes to add three or four
more ere long. We wish him success
in this work as the creamery is the
best friend of the farmer.
