IN Defence Of he Creamery.
Mr.. Editor:


I have been carefully reading the
argument of Toby" and Adopt
ed Son." in The Gazette for the last
three OF four weeks. and was just
about to render my verdict In favor
OF the plaintiff. when 10 and behold
another one. claiming to be our own
''kith and kin. appeared upon the
scene in your last weeks issue. and /
publicly. and claim unjustly, de-
nounced the only apparent hope Of
our salvation. the Williamsburg Co
Operative Creamery.
90 not know where this writer
gathered his information; but in
Justice to the creamery I wish to say
that this statement is erroneous and
that the records Of the creamery
viii bear me up in this assertion.
! When the creamery Grst started,
about a year ago this sprirg. there
was not much of a demand for our
butter in Williamsburg and the mer-
chants could handle It ouly in lin
tied quantities. The nan gem, q
was compelled to lock for other
markets and sold much Of the prod

cities. This condition existed until
early last fall. when the local de-
mznd for the butter incress ed unit!
We were unable to supply it. No
cream was shipped from that time
on.
We are still selling the most Of
our butter here and I must state that
if the farmers. as a whole. will only
support this industry as Loyalty as
the merchants and people Of WI
liamsburg we'll make 4 grand sue
cess of It.

Autographs.

tne CINCINNATI 11meS-Star.
The persistent autograph hunter will
find encouragement for continuing his
operations in the reports Of the big
prices realized at q sale Of autographed
letters and manuscripts In London 1t
is quite likely that the publication Of
these prices will stimulate others who
have never before INDUCED in the fad
to pursue the famous and the near
famous with requests for autographs.
There were some interesting develop
ments at that London SALE For ex-
ample, the highest price paid was for
an autograph receipt penned by Henry
Fielding. 1t acknowledged the receipt Of
$1,000 paid him for the copyright Of what
proved to be his masterpiece, Tom
Jones'" It seems the irony of fate that
this bit OF writing. containing but a few
words, should have sold for over 81, COO
more than Fielding was paid for his
entire manuscript. the labor Of years.
Another Fielding relic was a letter ex-
planning why he had not paid a bill Of
$1GO, and even this sold for 81. 665. more
than enough to have squared the author
with his creditors. But at the time that
creditor might not have been able to
realize more than the price Of waste
paper for this apologetic epistle. 1t is
age that makes the autograph, like good
wine. valuable. But the autograph
hunters. to be successful. must be good
guessers and pick out only the ones
penned by men and women whose fame
will grow ~ the years pass by.
