ty of the Missionary addresses given
last Sabbath evening in the Methodist

and intelligently to the people. The
bright pointed and hearty addresses
of J. Pearson, J. McDonald, A. Mc-
Kee, 13, Jackson, R. McKay and S.

and a credit to themselves.

ers ship their own grein as great
satisfaction exists in some quarters
over the unfair grading that is often
practised by the grain men. Mr. and
Mrs. Aures stand the passing years
well and have changed en appearance
very little since they lived here. Mrs.

Last Saturday afternoon the annual
meeting of Ethel cheese factory
was held in the Township Hall, a fair
attendance being present. Councillor
Brown was chairman. The business
was transacted and the report for the
past year was quite satisfactory, near-
ly 50 tons of•cheeso being turned out
by J. K. Brown the web known pro-
prietor of the factory. He will make
next season at the same rate as in 1908
viz 015 per cwt. which will include
boxing, salesman and Treasureship.
It is intended to send the whey home
as usual and the probability is it will
lee heated in the supply tank which
improves its feeding qualities. The .
managing committee consists of J. K.
Baker, War. Stemmata and Hartwell
Speiran. Prospects for 11X09 are of a
favorable character and we wish the
factory continued success.
