was an interested locker on and ]
listener during the session OF the
Farmyille Board of Trade on last Mon
day evening, and was so impressed /
with the novelty of some Gifts features |
that respectfully ask for space in I
which TO remark upon them, not for
the benefit Of those present, for they I
must have been impressed with them, /.
as was, but for those of your readers
who were not there, and who have
lively interest in all that was said or
done
The creamery was matter OF first
concern, and about it the novelty
gathered close. It is well known that
some two weeks ago Messrs Jones and
Bancroft. expert creamery builders,
came to our town and at once began
an active campaign in the interest OF
a new industry for Farmville, and one
in which the surrounding country has
; genuine interest. Since the work be-
gan they have pressed it with vigor
and earnestness, and victory is just
:. now in sight The stock has been
taken by number of progressive
business men and they are ready to
p begin the erection of a building.
i When these things were reported to
the meeting, and just then, a stranger
:, who was present was accorded the
Il privileges Of the floor, and introducing
himself as one Of the industrial agents
= of the Norfolk and Western, and then
lie proceeded to say that he came as
Y friend Of this people to warn them
against paying too much for what they
=. were about to buy. He disclaimec
a any and all personal interest in th'
re- matter, was no mans agent, and tina
the great Norfolk and Western wa
=, not behind HIM, nor engaged in selling
!, machinery, old or new, to be used II
- a creamery.
. Was ever friendship so unselish
Was ever stranger so interested II
ei the affairs of others in which he nat
d. no pressing interest? Was ever guar
IS dian angel so near to respond to IN
d. distress call Of innocent people? wa
az ever guardian so in touch to ward o
's- danger from ward for whom 4
had not qualified? What eXpl'
AT nation can be found for conduC
nm so like that Of an Angel of Mercy, an
he SO unlike that of mercinary man
zee this mercinary age? The novelty
to the whole thing grows upon Us
he we think about il.
The reply Of Mr.. Jones, Of the fri
OF Jones n Bancroft, was "hot stuff
nc from start to finish. He has been
!" years engaged in building cfeamer
w. i'm various sections of the country, an
VI for the first time in aNaried eXperien'
' was confronted by railroad corpor
''o ton who offered opposition To Il
building of a new industry on Il
lie lines Of H. road. And did he not al
on add that The gentleman who "buti'
ID in" here had invited his firm to "a
ne derlake the same work at Aprons
he tox which they were about consuI
IN mating here?
Is the projected Farmville c~eame
-, being fought 10y some other propo-'
-, on perfected creamery? or have \
.od one enemy in our camp?
