EDITORIAL. We acknowledge the receipt of an in vitation to attend the Commencement Exercises of the State University at Eu gene, to be held June 13-20, 1896. Also a copy of the program of Commence ment week. Words of praise are heard from all sides for the Memorial Address deliver- bv Prof. C. A. Hitchcock. Manv say: “It was the best speech I ever heard.” Strangers say: “With such a principal, it is no wonder that you have such good public scheols.” For a long time, Ashland has not seen as much excitement as was manifested at the election this year. The Populists are happy over their victory in the county, while the other parties are try ing to accept their defeat with the best possible grace and the belief that “what is good for the Populist majority ought not to be ‘very bad’ for the Republican and the Democratic minorities.” With the knowledge that the creamery at Edgewood is a paying investment, it is only a question of a short time when a creamery will be established in this vicinity. Where it will be established will be determined by the locality that show’s the most push and enterprise. Thus is placed before the citizens of Ashland an opportunity to establish at this place a profitable industry that they cannot afford to miss. Ashland is the leading tow’n in the valley and must have the creamery. News of further de velopments in another column. The Creamery Out-Look. I Central Point Pointers.
