but the heSn is weak. we ndu lulen'
ded to write a communication to the
Chronicle last week, as much as we ever
intended to write one, but were knocked
out until too late for us to obtain the
necessary material. AS the reader knows
we had no letter, for which we are heart
ily sorry. And this week we have but a
meagre account to give of the happening
of events in Milton; unless something
startling should occur before we have
finished The weather of late has been
responsible for much sickness, and has
kept the doctors busy. We appreciate
the desires of our readers to be informed
of the happenings in Milton and it is a
well-known fact that we seldom neglect
to give them something each week; yet,
should we miss an issue of the Chronicle
it is annoying to be hailed while passing
along the street, and inquiries made as
to why we did not have letter last
week" But while it is annoying, we
cheerfully submit to the annoyance, be-
lieving as we do, in the inquirer's good
intentions.
Since the beginning of the year with
short intervals. there has been a general
stagnation in all outside work. During
these intervals, however, the creamery
building has been inclosed, and most of
the material for the concrete floor is on
the ground. 1t is the intention to put
the floor in this week, as the weather
will hardly prevent this Mr., Binga-
man, the promoter, is very anxious to
get the work done and the machinery in,
that the plant may begin operating; and
so are the stockholders of the concern.
AS this is a new experiment in Milton,
much interest is manifested in the out
come. The farmers appear anxious to
see the working of this new, to them,
miracle Mr. Bingaman thinks that with
everything favorable, he can have the
plant in working order within month,
or by the last of February at the farthest.
It is hoped that this latest venture of
Milton's capitalists may be more success
full than some others that have preceded
it. There is an adage: Nothing sue
ceeds like success" and when success
crowns ones efforts he is encouraged,
and is in dead earnest to begin some
thing else.
