As the question of dairying is 1
ing discussed daily, it may Ixj of in
terest to the readers of this jniperto
know how much cream was shipped
from Eddy$i!le during the year
1010. Wells Fargo & Company's
express hooks show that there were
(UG4 gallons of cream shipped din
ing the year. Taking the weight of
cream at seven and one half poimds
per gallon, it would make 18,480
pounds, the average test for the year
was about 3.5 per cent, and the av
erage price paid for butterfat during
the year was .".2 cents, this brings
the neat sum of $5,42!). 7(5. We
think the foregoing is a good show
ing, taking into consideration that
dairying in jthia vicinity is Mill in its
infancy- We doubt whether there
is any other industry carried on here
that will make a better showing ac
cording to capital invested.

ment, and yet desire to find some
way of expressing our condolence,
therefore, !o it
Resolved, That we tender to them
the hand of franternity, and assure
them that the bond that is between
us will help to strengthen and as
sist in giving them the fortitude to
bear up under the load of sorrow that
they are now burdened with, and
while we mourn wbith them, wo
urge them to seek comforts in tho
hopes of a happy reunion in tbo
blessed hereafter; le it
Further Resolved, That they bo
sent a copy of these resolutions, a
copy spread Upon our minutes, and
