The Democrat is pleased to know
that the Henderson county farmers are
giving serious consideration to the
question of a cooperative creamery.
which was discussed in last weeks
issue and concerning which there is
further news in this number. That
creamery project is a fine thing. It's
I'D to the farmers to make it a big bus
mess.
The Washington Star, a
of standing, expresses the belief that !
"G great many of the advocates of pre- !

opinion that most of them are doing l.

with glowing compliments as to the
worth of such men to the community,
