Tbe Dixie Creamery
By E E. West.
Dear Editob ;
! I promised to write an article thin
I week ou the D.xie Creamery; so here it
j,e.
Bit first I want to correct an error 1
made in Jn#t week’# letter, I #aid there
wire tuo Devon cows at the Station,
ilicy mtc not Devon but Durham.
The Dixie Creamery i* a model build
ing of it# cIuHH, though the equipment#
not entirely up-to date, yet thoroughly
efficient. It in a neat building and ha#
the appearance of ft cottage, and won id
bo mistaken for one* were it not for the
engine’# #raok< -.stack.
I'* equipment consists A a 15 horse
power boiler and aueugiu** of less pow
r, milk and cream vats, a Del-rival sep
arator, 200-jallon churn, power butter
worker, ice machinery and refrigerating
room.
A# to the ownership T am not inform
ed ; Mr. Wallace, its manager, and Mr.
Wing, the Btaiion dairyman, probably
owning the gr atey inter
Toe labor required consist# of two
men, Mr. Welsh, the butter maker, who
get# a good salary, and Bam, the negro
all-service trfta. This i# all the labor re
quired, and at preHMit they don’t get
enough milk to keep them busy half the
day.
About an aveinge < f 1200 pound# of
mi k is brought to the Creamery every
day, and tbi# would turn out about 70
pound# of butter each flay if it were alt
made into butter, but a great part of the
milk in poatemieed and #oid a# poatem
ized milk and cream.
The order# for butter, milk and cream
can not*be filled, and people nro waiting
with pitcher#, Cftiir, etc., to buy llie but
termilk as noon as it i* churned at 5 cent#
per gallon.
The plant i# capacitated to handle 0,000
o 7,000 pound# of milk per day And get#
only 1200 pounds. No obceve i# made—
indeed they hnvo no cheese im{ 1 uuentp.
Mr. Wing ho# Hiioeecded in getting ex*
Governor Northen to apply to the rail
road# for transportation for a party of
reprcß ntative dairymen and bimiue##
men of Thomson to Griffin to inspect tlm
Dixie Creamery, and the pause# will no
doubt be scoured. A.l person# engaged
in tho dairy bUHimsi or interested there
in, men end women, who want to join
this party of inspection should givo their
name# to Mr. E. B. Wiisou no that he
cau Bond them to ex-Governor Northen
for the pafSi H.
In my next letter I intend to write an
article on Griffin, tlii# plucky, progress
ive little city that can boi#t,of four cot
ton factories, an oil mill, pant# factory,
chaii factory, hose factory and creamery.

IH MEMORY
—CP
Mbs. Kora Dcbibb Gabdnkr.
Casting no Hhadow before as do many mid !
event*, this bright young life went sudden j
Jy out having a loving circle overwhelmed
by the shock und inteimity of their sorrow.
It Wan like the hl.istiug of a beautiful
garden iu Spring by the breath of a Hi moon
But ns the flowers will unfold again in
their beauty and fiagrnnce even so this j
pure spirit wtll live again und be more per-'
fcctly developed by the light nud warmth
permeating Paradise.
In the frouhnoH'i of grief it is difficult to
understand why alio should bn called in the
morning of life to come up higher und rest |
from her Jabots when tin* duties of mother ;
hood were pro sing cloaley on her heart m.d !
ciiUiug for the beat c(Torts of her entire na
ture; hut aoino sweet day we shall son clear,
ly that God's plans are wiser than our
plans.
’Tie true that live little hearts will hunger
evermore for the emh r mother love and
five littlo souls will miss the wise, watchful
care they have received, but they will not
be forgotten. God who cutes even for the
little sparrows will remember them tender
ly nnd supply their needs. These little
children have a rich legacy in the record of
their Mviet yo ng mother’s life nml chaiuc
ter for she was good nud true, unselfish und *
bravo.
With a hopeful, sunny nature that o ndd !
see the silver liuiug to every cl >ud, slie was !
ever cheerful and patient, bearing bravely
whatever of disappoiutuicut life, brought
her.
Unselfishness, however, was the moat :
prominent characteristic of her nature and 1
it was this that made her lift* luminous with {
words and deed* that were kind nu l help
ful. She counted uo sacrifice of self in her
< ff<>rts to minister to others Truly “kind
hearts are more than coronets” and Mis
Gardner hail a realization of this fact in the
joy that came to her from deeds that wore
kind, noble and true, making her “.ife one
gaud sweet song. ' Q. H. Jv,
