CHEESE FACTORY1MEETING.-The annual
meeting of the patrons and shareholders of
the'Censtance cheese and butter manufactur-
ing company was held here on Monday last.
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. If he means by
