Titz CHEESE FACTORY. —A meeting of . the share -holders and rations of the, cheese_ factory was held here on Friday of loft week. There was an unuseally large number of people at the patroils .meeting. The season's business was fully explained'and seemed to give all satisfaction. Theoutput of thikfaotory was unusually small thia year on amount of the small delivery of milk. The reason for this was that a very large number of the cows within the limitar of the factory were not giving milk last season not having been got in calf. On - :tome Of. the best routes there were only few ems giving milk. Thisis a mitt- fOrtiinelO both the factory and the own- ers; which it is hoped will not soon occur again. The average price received for the cheese made was about 6 cents per 10 lbs. of milk. Mr. Papinean, who has been assistant in the factory for several years was engaged as cheese - 1 -maker and Bir. George Stephenson was appointedto assist him in the manage- - ment. Mr. A. Leach, of Walton, was e appointed salesman. The patrons also passed a unanimous vote of thanks to r. J. R. Murray, the late manager', for the efficient and satisfactory way in which he has conducted the business of the factory for so many years.- At the . shareholders' meeting the following directors and officers were appointed, viz.: George Stephenson, John Britton, John McGregor; J. B. Henderson and ,aehrt. McDowell. Mr. J. Be Henderson Wae elected President and Mr. Robert J• amieson, of Seaforth was re appointed Secretary and Treasurer.
