CLOSED FOR THE WINTER.

The Montague creamery after a
successful season has closed for the
winter. During the summer daily
average of about 5000 quarts of milk
was received. Farmers were paid
the price obtained for butter less the
cost of manufacture, this netted them
an average Of about % cents a pound
and on an average twelve quarts Of
milk were required for a pound Of
butter They were also given back
the skim milk which Is of considera-
BILE value for calves and pigs. Itmay
be safe to calculate therefore that the
milk has netted them over two cents
quart for the summer months.
This Is profitable for that season and
if the creamery could be kept run
ming during the winter, as no doubt
in time it will be, farmers will find
that keeping cows will pay better than
other any farm industry. We hope
the effort to establish a creamery in
this section will be successfully agi-
tated and that by another season it
will be in operation. Nothing would
afford so much relief to many farm
ers here who are now obliged to come
in competition with creamery butter
and with the result that that product
is preferred to theirs at higher price.
Whele cattle are kept farms increase
In value and fertility. in fact they are
Indispensable for manure which is
the life of land. The creamery re-
lieves of vast amount of drudging
labor, for which thel e is no compen
sation, and makes farm life far more
pleasant especially for the females of
the household. They have become a
necessity in the economy of Aglicul-
ture and any community which does
not recognize this fact and advance
on this line is doomed TO fall behind
in the race for piogl ess and plospeli-
ty. Let us have a Creamery in this
section.

All Preoedents Broken.

All precedents have been broken.
The election of Mckinley has made
a new record in American politics.
For one hundred and four years the
loser in every Presidential contest
has defeated his opponent the next
time he ran against him. In 1895
John Adams defeated Thomas JEFF
ferson. Iu 1900 jefferson defeated
Adams. in 1919. Quincy Adams
defeated Andrew jackson. In 1928
jackson defeated Adams. In 1888
Benjamin Harrison defeated Grover
Cleveland. In 1898 Cleveland defeat
cd Harrison. In 1895 VIM. Mckinley
defeated VIM. Jennings Bryan, and
in 1900 broke all precedents by de-
feating his former opponent again.
Another precedent broken by Nc
Rinley's election is that sincetIrant's g
second electionodn 1872 no other
President has been chosen for a Sec
ond term. Still another precedent
is that in the same period New York
state had not been carried by the
same party In two consecutive Pres
idential elections.

N. c. CHURCH ORGAN RECITAL

Monday evening a large and APP
preciative audience filled the M. Il.
church TO listen 10 the new Mason q
Hamlin organ which has lust been
purchased by that congregation.
Several selections, showing its power
and beauty of tone, were rendered by
Mr.. Gale, which he brought out with
an artists touch and expression. A
prayer was offered by Rev. Thomas
Nichols and an appropriate selection
of Scripture read by Rev. G. B. Car
penter. Rev. and Mrs. Scudder sung
Duet, The Lords Prayer, with fer
vency and power, their eSeellentvoi
ces binding finely and in excellent
taste. The choir rendered two an
thems with spirit and Mrs. Won der
Heyde, as usual, charmed her hear
ers with a solo 81 will lay me down
In peace" A quartet by Rev. and
Mrs. Scudder and Albert Garville
and wife was well given and their
cultivated voices expressed with fine
effect the sentiment of the sacred
song. Mr.. Scudder made a short
dedicatory address and gave as part
OF 1t the verses which follow:
We dedicate to thee, Oh God,
This instrument Of praise.
'Tis in thy house and for thy house,
To worship thee always.
As David PLAYED stringed instruments
And organs praising thee,
So may we praise thy holy name
With heavenly harmony.
But who can sing redemptions song
The song Of him, God givon,
And who can keep IN bacmony,
With sainted ones in heaven
Can mortals struggling here below,
Beset on every handp
Can earth born creatures rise and sing
With heavens chorus sraDdP
Yes, harmony has been restored,
And peace has banished fear,
In Jesus Christ our advocate,
Our God Is ever neal.
coal Of fire the altar gives,
To purge from every sin,
To put new song in our mouth,
A spirit new within.
The same rekindled from on high,
Made beautiful in God,
viii sing the same song,
| With this claf beneath the sod.
Grant us thy quickening spirit Lord,
To use what thou has given,
That we may ever harmonize,
With the chorus choir Of heaven.
The organ is Of superior quality, Of
sufficient volume Of tone to fill the
room and will be great addition to
the musical part of the worship. The
congregation may well be proud ol
this acquisition, and return hearty
thanks to the pastor who has labored
assiduously and successfully to ac.
complish the happy result.

Washington is full of the usual
after the election gossip about the
make. up of the next Cabinet, but
the subject has really not been con-
sidered by those most interested for
the very good reason that they have
not had time to do 80 and that there
Is no occasion for hurry. The
President is very we'll satisfied with
his present Cabinet, and If nothing
were to be considered but his own
wishes, there would be no changes.
But It is we'll known that a majority
of the present Cabinet hold their
positions not because they sought
them, but because the President de-
sired their assistance in making his
administration a success and prob
able that at least three of them,
possibly, more, will ask to be allow
ed to retire at the close of the pres
ent administration. 1t Is no holiday
job to properly perform the duties
of member Of the Cabinet and 1t is
not surprising that men having the
necessary knowledge and capacity to
make their services desirable as
such are not hankering after the
places.

He said "You shall not toss
Mankind upon a cross
OF shining gold"
"Nor press his brow with thorns,
Nor tread upon his corns
When he is old"
He said "No fires will burn,
No wheels, no spindles turn,
Without my hand
Is at the nations helm;
Dictator of the realm
Chief of the band"
He said "the metal white
Is strictly in the fight
Il lugged it in).
We'er on silver bent,
Without the worlds consent
And it will win"
The voters heard him shout,
Then straightway went about
To give him fits;
They said 1--WE want no stuff
Half money and half bluff,
A dollar worth four bits"
1t took his breath awaw
When the people had their say
in NOV.
But he's got his second wind,
Thinks he'll not again be skinned

The Req ading Room.

Realizing the great benefit TO be
derived from public reading room
where men and boys may have access
to newspapers and magazines or pass
the time in harmless games, and
meet in social way, the Republican
Club has been moved to make an eff
fort to afford such place. The idea
has met with "a cordial response and
its consummation now seems assured.
The purpose is to supply several dali
ly papers and other reading matter,
to have separate room where those
desiring may amuse themselves with
games in conversation, to keep
the place open each evening,
during the winter at least, and
20 have some one i'm charge who
will see that everything is quiet and
orderly. There will be no charge or
dues but those desiling may contri-
butte such sum es they deem proper.
Everyone, however, whether CON
tributor or not will be welcome to en-
joy the hospitality of the club and to
spend as much time as he desires in
the rooms. 1t is 80 benefit the public
by furnishing place where the young
especially, may improve their minds
or be harmlessly occupied during the
evenings with surroundings which
will not vitiate their moral atmos-
phere.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Cotfespundence)
WARRINGTON. d. c., Nov. ~, 1900.
President Mckinley is still receiv-
ing congratulations on one Of the
most remarkable endorsements ever
given President by the American
people and - compelled to hold mn
almost continual levee during office
hours. He does not regard the re-
suit as so much personal and pnr-
ty triumph as it was n triumph Of
right over wrong, and ms involving
new responsibility for himself and
the Republican majority in Con.
gress, in order that the people may
see that their confidence and en-
dorsement was deserved He has
succeeded in conducting his first
administration up to this time
through some very trying circun-
stances without making a single
mistake Of Importance and he pnr.
poses TO do his utmost TO continue
that good record through his second
administration, and If the same
careful consideration, Difference to
the opinions of the party leaders
patriotism which has guided his
every act since he became President
will make success, lie will achieve
it. He win do his best which is all
that any any man can do, aud all
that the patriotic people expect of
any man.
