Notwithstanding the very wet and disagree- able weather there 'Iwas a large turnout of those interested in the factory. The state - merit of the season's bugnees seemed to be very satisfactory to the meeting and was approved. of unanimously. The cheese sold netted to the patrons about $4,100. Mr. Papinean the manager and salesman gave exeellent satisfaction to all concerned and was re-enga,ged for next year. He thorough- ly understands the hese-makieg business, turns out a No. I a,rticle and is well liked by the patrons. The following officers and directors were elected for the ensuing year, vie : John McDenald, President, Robert Jainieson, Secretary and Treasurer. Diree - toes. -John McGregor, George Stephenson, John B. Henderson! and John Britton. The directors did not; declare a dividend this year, but they sugceeded in making ends meet. The prospects for a good season's business next year are encouraging. OUR CHEEsE FACTORY. -Dear EX"POSITOE, -I notice in your last issue a communica- tion signed by J. C. Morrison which, in it- self, is nothing unesual, but he takrs excep- tihn to an item which appeared in the pre- vious issue regarding Constance cheese fac- tdry. Now, sir, he admits in the start that Constance, factory ,ariade one sale for a higher figure than he realized for the Winthrop factory, and he also knows, were he honest enough to admit it, that all the other sales (except the last one) realized more than Winthrop, and now if he wants to know how much to whack up he may whack up the five mills that he guaranteed to the pa - trans of VirinthroP factory, and he will then be on the safe side. I also contend that the directors of Constance factory acted wisely in not engaging John C. as salesman, as he undoubtedly attended the annual meeting of 1890 for the purplesse of securing that posi- tion. But, perhaps, our directors were like the members of the County Council, unable to appreciate good looks. He also accuses the officiate of Constance factory of trick- ery. Noss, sir, oar officials are above re- proach and. are gentlemen of sound sense, which is more than can be said of John C., judging by the letters that have from time to time appeared in the local press over his signature. He also accuses our salesman with peddling his cheese.
