The 21st annual meeting of White- church Cheese and Butter Co. was held in the Foresters' Hall on Monday last. At 2 o'clock Mr. F. Henry, the President, called the meeting to order, and on motion of H. D. Henderson, J. T. Currie was unanimously elected' to the chair. Mr. Simpson was then called on to read the minutes of last meeting, which were adopted. Dir. H. 1). Henderson then read the Auditors' report, which showed a good year's work, although, owing to the poor pasture, there was. •14,000 lbs, of butter less made* this year than last year. When the report was read, it was moved and seconded that it lie adopt- ed, but this motion was never put to the vote of the meeting, so we do not know whether it was adopted or not, but we presume that no one had. any objections to make.. The next busi- ness was the election of .a Board of Di- rectors. Messrs. F. Henry, J. Gilles- pie, Wm, Martin and Gavin Wilson were unanimously elected. I.t was then moved that Robt.. Purdon be the other Director. Moved in amendment that J. Leggatt be the other Director. A vote was taken, resulting in the election of Mr. Pardon by a majority of one. But here again; the proceed- ings were ,not properly conducted, as the vote was taken by shote of hands, and some who are not shareholders at all may have voted, and those who have two or more shares had only one vote, whereas if we understand aright each shtere means a vote. Wm. Mar- tin, who has been a Director for a number of years, said, among other things, that he did not care a snap of his Iger whether he was xe-elected 'Or not. It is our humble opinion that the meeting made a great mistake to elect es man who had no more interest in the business than that. But we hope Mr. lfartin did not mean just what he said, and• that he will take the same interest in the business in the future as he has done in the past. We would like to take this o ortu-. nits to say a word) for the *Id Board of Directors—Messrs. Henry. Gillespie. Martin, Wilson and Pettypiece---who have conducted the business for nearly lobio,1/4, _ - , twenty years. We think they deserve -''-, the sincerest thanks of the sharehold- ers and patrons for the energetic way in ,which they have carried on the business,and for the strong position l which the factory now occupies, being one of the foremost in the Province. Thanks are also due to Mr, ,Sperling, i the butter maker, for the easeful and r satisfactory manner in which he has handled the cream, producing a first- class article. There is one suggestion/ we' should Iike to make to the new Beard, and that is, that before the next annual meeting a number of o itis c of the Auditors' i rs report be print- ed for distribution at the opening of the meeting. We are sure this would be- very satisfactory as no one can re- member, for any length of time, the array of figures which the Treasurer gives when he reads the report. ,. . .4- IL Brown, Ragand Metal Co., bayy- ing all kinds of hides, wool and pielc- ings, rubber, copper, and feathers of all kinds. highest price in cash if brought to bourse, five cents a hundred extra: 50e a 100, cash, for old iron.

The excellent manner itt which the pupils acquitted themselves, loth hi the classes and program, is a credit to the training given by the teacher, Mr. Mc- Gregor.

Judge Bolt of Goderich, Walter Wilson of Luck - now and Morgan Dalton of Ashfield were the arbitrators. There being five school sections in the scheme, the attendance of the farmers was very large. They were all opposed to any interference with their respective sec- tions. The petitioners being ;about one half of the citizens of Belgrave, and the other half opposed, unade it a difficult task for the arbitrators, in the face of such strong opposition. The farmer as a rule and the retired citizens of the village looked at the scheme from a financial standpoint ; having gone to the expense of baild- ing their own school houses, they strongly objected to the building of another in Belgrave, especially when considering Belgrave is only the same distance from a school as any other outlying corner of the respective sec- tions which are asked to contribute, This is the fourth time Belgravehas rnade application for it school in the last twenty years. The number of school children is less now than at other times, and seeing they are op- posed so bitterly by the surrounding country by which the village derives its support, it would have been well to have abandoned the idea of a school until the village itself has grown con- siderably larger. The arbitrators ap- pear to have made up their minds to grant a school to the petitioners in Belgrave in the face of all opposition, though the award is not yet made public. Holyrood.
