The annual meeting of the mmbere s of this Association was held in Mark- dale on the 17th December. The management was apparently satis- factory to all the members, as also the resalts of the operations of the year just closed, the average return per lb. being a little over ball a cent over that of last. year. One fact is very evident, viz Those who give the factory the mo3t gener- ous patronage are those who are best pleased ^yith the system. It is not too soon to commence making calcula- tions for the coming season. The cheese factory is long enough estab- lished to convince every farmer with- in reach of it that it is the best and most profitable system for the dairy available. If all who live within the "bounds of the territory reached by milk wagons were to give the factory a generous support, all interested would lind the profits materially in- creased, simply because the additional output of the factory would be with- out additional expense, or nearly so, iiud besides, there are often chances «'f making a sale of a lar^e lot and at u higher figure than when only a small lot can he had this has been repeatedly the case in the past to the regret and loss of patrons of Markdale -cheese factor j. As grain faraing is 80 uncertain and unprofitable our ueighbors would do well to give this matter their careful consideration during the winter months. Markdale factory made, the past season, 59,668 lbs. of cheese from 028,922 lbs. milk supplied. The cheese was sold for $5,479.88. The officers and directors appointed for next year, are â€" Thos. Elliott, Pi-esideut; D.R. Elhs, Vice-President; H. D. Irwin, Secretary Edward Eutledge and Henry Hamilton, Audi- tor j. The directors on routes are â€" For No, 1, Wm. McLoughry and David Foster.

Holman, of this village, preached in the Baptist church here Sabbath morning last. Eev. Dr. Burns preached in the Methodist church in the evening. On Christmas eve. a pleasant gath ering assembled at the residence of John Bellamy, Esq., of thia place, when his eldest daughter, Allie, was wedded to Mr. J. Patton, of Proton. Eev.' J. W. Shilton performed the ceremony. The happy young couple have the best wishes of many friends for their prosperity and happiness through life. Mr. J. Alexander, of Owen Sound Collegiate Institute, is this week the guest of M. Eichardsou. G. Holman, Esq., of the Streetsviile Eeview, is enjoying his hohdays with his parents here. I Mrs. W. Wright, of this yillage, ' left a few days ago with her little daughter to pay a visit to members of her family in New York, Chicago and Detroit. Mr. N. VanDusen, of Chicago, who paid his brother and father a visit here on Christmas, returned home again on Thursday last. Frank Van- Dusen, who has been in the employ of J. G. Eassell, jeweller, for some time, accompanied his uncle and in- tends entering up(m his trade in the great western city. The annual School meeting of this section, held in the school house here, was so exceedingly well attended as to manifest a deep interest in school matters by the ratepayers of this sec- tion. M. Eichardsou, Esq., was voted to the chair. The meeting was har monious aud pleasant. Several items ot business interestingly discussed. Mr. S. Damude, after a servitude of 12 years as Trustee, retired from the bard. Isaac Sinclair, Esq., was elected to fill the vacancy, Mr. Da- mude refusing nomination again. Jos. Blackburn was elected ratepayers' auditor. The Presbyterian friends of this place were not favored with sno k or good roads to encourage people to turn out to their S. S. anniversary on Christmas evening, but withal it was a success. The church was very well filled, and the programme was good. The little folk almost all did their parts well. The Cantata by the school was very well rendered. Decorations of garlands and mottos were nicely hung in the ciiurcb aud the Christmas tree well covered with gifts, looked very pretty, ail of which were distri- buted among tbe young folk at the close ot tbe entertainment. Not for many years has the pulse of this township beat so high nor the clamor for municipal honorb so loud aud strong as on nomination day (last Monday). The members of the old council .all appeared but one for re-election, and gave a very good ac- count cf themselves and their condnct for the past year but a number of others who think themselves equally as competent, seek tbe honors now. For Eeeve, Dr. Christoe is again in the field and an old and well tried war horse there now. He may (?) be closely enough followed by the wolf in chase to feel his breath before they reach the goal, for Thorpe Wright, also a worthy man, is lu the field. The Dr. had tendered his resignation and after a very successful reign of 15 years would have quietly retired but lor some fruitless letters wiuch ap- peared in the Advance by Patrick a lew weeks ago anent the Dt. After tbe Dr.'s long and good service, com- ing again before the ratepayers it leaves Mr. Wright with perhaps hard- ly a lair competitor. For CouucillurB â€" ^In ward No. 1 John Boland was returned by acclamation. In all their numbers not a man liad courage enough to strive with John. In ward No. 2, John McArttiur returned, for 7 speais must now spike his soles for a run with Michael Eielly. In ward No. 3 W. Sharp, a young man rather slow of speech but with a level head, had to meet the eloqaence of an Irish* man and the cany cracks and poetry " • Scotchman, for R. J. Bproale R. S.
