Stockholders of the Kindred
Creamery association held their
annual meeting in the town hall
Wednesday afternoon. There
was a good attendance and sever
al important matters were dis
custed. Secretary Porderud's
report was read, and it made a
splendid showing for the institu-
ton. The creamery commenced
making butter July 18th and up
to Jan. LIST according to the sec
retary's report in the neighbour
hood of 81, ZOO had been paid to
patrons for cream, the month of
August running the highest
when S557,S5 was paid for cream.
The expenses of the creamery
have averaged about 500 a
month. When it is considered
. a#
that the creamery was started in
a poor time of the year and up to
Jan. 1st has run but five and one
half months in a community
which before had paid but little
attention to dairYing. the fact
that nearly $4,000 has been dis
tributed among our farmers for
cream, is fairly good showing.
It means with only the same run
Of patrons for twelve months of
the present year nearly $4,000
will be distributed to the farmers
for their dairy product.--Kin-
dred Tribune.

IN A BUSY RAILWAY YARD.
Respons ibility That Rests on a New
York Tower Director.

Standing on any Of the bridges
that cross the New York Central
yard, says Everybody's Magazine,
# is difficult to realize that each
apparently wandering drill-en.
CINE, each car standing empty and
idle, has some good reason for
being there; that it's location is
known to the tower director as
we'll as he knows where his ears
are, and that he also knows just
where those drill and passenger
engines will be Is minutes later
and why. At his desk, in the
aorth end of the tower, the train
dispatcher first receives word of
an incoming train. When it ar,
rives at Ninety-sixth street, he
receives another message to that
effect, and when the train gets to
Seventy-second street a buzzer
rings in the tower, at which the
tower director proceeds forthwith
to clear the way with a whirlwind
of orders. In the Mott-Haven
message to the train-dispatcher,
he is advised as to the class of the
Grain approaching, the time and
the number of cars. This informa-
ton is passed on to the director
and he prepares himself accord
ingly. But the fact that perhaps
q dozen trains have passed Mott
Haven before the first train has
coached Seyenty.second street
Gears eloquent testimony to his
memory.

at the close of the war as a newspaper
correspondent, later accompanied the
British army through Abyssinia as the

mean small children. We can find some useful
way in which to give them a rest and a pleasure,
in the evening, which will do them more good
than to keep their minds on the same thing which
they have been ON all dav. Let them invite their
friends. their little associates, and let them have
music of some kind, and if they have no other, let
some one lead and sing a few pieces. Let the chill

How to Spend the Winter Evenings.

days is spent.

rest and family conversation.
Tboro aro others who spend the day in quite a
different way, say bookkeeping, type-writing, or

there is no physical exercise. They, OF course
should spend the evening in some way to receive

City Life and Country Life.

Dear Aunt Jennie The winter evenings, that
are being discussed just now, are passing rapidly
away, and how are they really being spent! If
one could be induced to leave the quiet. around
the glowing tireside. for a brief tigurative tour,
and with wings of imagination, floating out on
breezcs of the night season, make a brief survey,
and note the different ways in which they are
perhaps being spent, and peep through the win
dows, into a few of the many homes, all over the
Old North State, what would he see!
The first beaming light that attracts attention,
is the brightness of electricity as it streams
through the windows and glisten> on the snow,
and in its brightness we discern a lofty, and
stately mansion. Its surroundings, show a luxu-
rious home, and as we peep in through a commo-
dious window, we see so much magniticence, we
are almost dazzled by its splendor. As our eyes
wander about the rooms, we see in everything,
exorbitant luxury and SO much, that afford JOY,
happiness, and comfort. But a lonely stiffness
pervades the air, for the occupants are away.
Only the servants are at home sitting up, and
going their rounds of obsequiouS duties. But
where are the inmates? Away, Judging from
what we can gather, some are in attendance at the
grand opera, and from the recesses Of one of the
opera boxes, they are enjoying the stage charac-
tiers, as they spin the skirt-dance or perform the
Skln-uSntS. SOlnc are reVellng III the night
dance Of the most fashionable new year ball.
Others of the household have ben invited to spend
the evening around a wine-drinking, card playing
table, at some home sociable, while others are en-
gaging in the latest gossip, and drinking toasts
together with friends and chums at the club.
And as they are all away, We will not disturb
the servants in their duties, but will again per
nit the stiff winds to bear us upon their pinions
and far, far away, in the distance, we descry an
other beacon light, not so respondent in spark
ling Brightness, but we are attracted to it by its
soft beams and glow of comfort. AS we are near
ing it, through it's brightness we can plainly see
the surroundings of a home nestled among tall
trees and shrubbery, that seem to nod us a vel
come as the winds sweep over them, and we enter
through the gate and pass up the quiet walk. The
faithful watch dog, too, seems to understand that
our mission is only to see how the evenings are
being spent, as he raises himself up, scrutinizing-
ly at the clicking OF the gate. We halt for his
decision, but he does not even sound an alarm,
