1.-THE crop. He had two and half acres
of very poor looking corn and said he
would not give the snap of his hnger
for il at the time he laid it by. but
from that two and a half acres ne
gathered eighty-fOur bushels of corn.
This looks as if the Williamson plan
was the proper plan. .... .NotWlth-
standing the hard knocks the Chero-
kee Creamery Co, has been receiving
at the hands of some. the business
continues to go on and increase. On
Saturday the first checks were sent
out and several people received very
substantial amounts. On Saturday the
Icreamery turned out about seventy
pounds of as fine butter as one ever
stuck a tooth into. There is no ques-
ton but this enterprise Will prove Il
failure if the people do not supply the
milk, but now that the creamery has
been established we wish to see 1t
succeed and we believe it will if the
proper effort is put forth. Help the
creamery by sending in your milk. Ii
YOU haven't sufficient COWS buy few
more. 1t Will help you IN more ways
than one.
