Yukon district was perhaps not sur-

know it has reached a very high figure
at a certain house some distance north
of Kirkton where our excellent pro-
fessor of music was teaching a pupil.
Having to wait until the young lady
came from school it• was then nearly

by the woman of the house to be ask

fessor having nothing more thaa;n the
seven dollars that had just been paid

that was sufficient to which the party
replied, yes, and took it. We venture

ENCOURAGING ENTERPRISE. -One Of
the most promising and encouraging
enterprises of Centralia is the creamery
It svgs first agitated in January last,
and since then the interest in it has
been gradually increasing So that now
stock is held by some of the most
prominent farmers of Usborne, Step-
hen, McGillivray and Biddulph,; and
most successful business men of •.Exe-
ter, (lrecliton and Centralia. The Di--
rectors
i-rectors in charge are doing all in -their
power to further the -interests of the
Company by making all necessary im-
provements economical and substan-
tial as possible. Last week a cement
floor was put in by•Mr. John Neil and
an .engine room built by Mr. J. Evans,
Exeter, while this week the building
will be equipped with thoroughly up-
to-date machinery so that everything
will be in running order• for May 15th
or 17th. The services of a thoroughly
practical butter -hatter, in the person
of Mr. P. W. Brown, of Winchelsea,
have•been secured, while' Mr. Cadl1'as
has been engaged as assistant. 'Un-
doubtedly this will prove a boom to
fanners' of the surrounding country,
who may see fit to patronize the same.
