county starts soon on new venture
the creamery-which it is hoped will
prove a great help to our people In
this time OF stress and struggle, and
lead them out into condition of ease
and prosperity. Like any other new
undertaking, the creamery will not
find entirely smooth sailing; but with
the start that this county made years
ago in the direction of fine dairy cat
tie, 1t should not be so difficult to
launch this industry as would be the
case, were so many Of the countys
farms not already stocked with dairy
Cattle. Barring the difficulties, which
any new enterprise encounters, anu
which no doubt occur in the launching
and operation of a creamery just the
same as In the case of any other kind
of business, we see no reason why the
project should not be great success;
and it will, if 1t receives the hearty
backing and support of the public at
large.....--Rev. c. Frank Pittman, pas
