Rockwell.
Messrs w. H welch and Francis
Ducharme, of Gowrie. were here last
Wednesday locking over the business
of the Farmers Society. The farm
ers living near Gowrie have taken
the initiatory steps looking toward
the organization of a society and these
gentlemen were selected as a COM
mittee to visit Rockwell and report the
success or failure of cooperation. They
found the Rockwell Society in a flour
ishiny condition and We're much pleased
with its successful management. The
Gowrie farmers have already raised
$4,000 and a society will doubtless be
very much after the plan
of the one here, says the Phonograph
