NUNOA- EIDTOB "LAIHDKALER:--The event of the season was the commencement exercises of our High School, on Thursday evening last, The Congregational Cburch was most beauti fully decorated with evergreens and flowers. Over the center of the rostrum was the <-Uss motto, •'labor conquers all tnings," and on the one side thereof was the name of Miss Nina Darby, and on the other that of Miss, Louise Evangeline Wilbur, tbe two graduates of the c ass of 1888, At an early hour the seats were filled and still the people, came, Seats were improvised aleng the side aisles and were quickly filled, and every available corner of space was oecupied as standing room On the restrum was seated tbe School Board, the Choir and the Faculty. The en tertainmetn was opened with prsyer by the Bev. Mr, Kay. Then the chnlr, a double quar­ tette song, next Miss Daiby delivered her salutory. Miss Wilbur then delivered her essay "Shylock." the orchestra delivered a very fine selection from "Mikado." Miss Daruy delived her essay • The Newspaper." Miss Mamie M nroe gave us tbe "Ota«s His­ tory," Miss Fannie Crow sang a seautiful solo, "Gem," in a sweet cultured voice, with line expression. Bennle Ford gave us tbe "Class Prophecy" followed by Miss Wilburs Valedictory." Mr. Paul .then in a neat and forr.iable *peech full of grand thoughts pre­ sented the Diplomas, After which tbe Or* cnestra rendered the waltses. "Life is a Dream," and Be/. Kay dismissed the audi ence with a benediction. In summing cp the whole matter, the Orchestra, composed of Kred Ingersol, with Violin, Clarence Beckley Clarionet, Will Beckley, Cornet, Tyler ttuff man. Tenor Horn, and the Piano by Leroy Beckley rendered beautiful music, in a man­ ner that showed they had a true appreciation of music, and were thoroughly conversant with the yrmy to produce it in sweet unison with the instruments they severally used -- The Essays were a series or surprises, to your correspondent, at leasi, they show! ig more ability, thorough study and patieiit pams-taking than we had given the young ladles credit Car. We remember, too, that M'Ss Darby has proseeuted her studies ir lie teaching as Mr, Pauls assistant. Tbe Class History, by Miss Mamie Munroe, demonstrat­ ed the fact tbat she has ability ol no mean order. Bennle Ford's "Class Prophecy," we thought was not quite up to what we expect- edot him. Had it been «elivered by almost any other young man of his age it would have been eonsldereu first elass. But Bennie has established such a reputation among us for great ability in that direetion, tbat we do mand at bis hands--the best be can do. Re­ member, Bennie, one Car greater than yo r critit said "Genius is tbe faculty for Infinite pams-taking." Altogether then, |and after having enjoyed the exercises at Woodstock, we say our people are Juatly pro ad of the aehieveraects of our school In the past two and a half years, Childrens* Day was observed here on Sun­ day last, la the M. B. Church, with appropri­ ate exercises. In the morning the Pastor, Bev. Mr. Cesna, preached a sermon to tbe children, and in the evening there was a most agreeable programme rendered by the chil­ dren of tbe Sabuatti school. And Miss Kittie Bichards, (who was a stranger lo moat of ns,) gave us two Kecitations in a manner that showed that she was no novice in the busi­ ness; and those alene would have paid one tor going any reasonable distance. Tbe church was beautifully decorated with flow- era aad eages of singing birds. Ladles and Gentlemen's Summer Underwear at Bonslett A StofleFa. '•'•".feyl :.. _ 1 . "1* . • RINQWOOD.

The Messrs Oatman Brothers Butter and cheese factory, and Its manage­ ment here, is the ceuter of attraction and proud hoaels of its patrons, who have increased In numbers and the quantity of their product far beyond tbe wildest expectations of that little company of farmers, who a little more than three years ago met in the old Depot and discussed the idea of build- a Butter and Cheese Factory in Ring wood. A brief history of the tesult of the!f deliberations may not be unin­ teresting to many Of your readers. An a-soclation was formed of quite a large number of our solid farmers ar.d styled the Rlngwood Butter and Cheese Association. A committee ot live was chosen from their number to confer with different butter and checse manufacturers, or other parties, and obtain what Information they could relative to the business, with a view to making some arrangement for the successful operating of a butler and cheese factory and sale of the product of same, lu case said associa­ tion should decide te build such facto ry. Amoug others E. J, Oatman's Sons of Dundee, Illinois, wore visited and Interviewed bv said committee aud a report of suoh Interview submitted to the association and at length a deci slon was reached to subscribe stock sufficient to purchase a site and build a Factory, to be equipped and ope­ rated by tbe Messrs Oatman froe ot rent until the patrons of said factory should lurnlsh Ave thousand pounds of milk per day betweeu the. months of November tirst and the following May first In any year, when the said Oat mans were to pay the association the first cost of said ouildlng. The con-. tract was signed by both parties and the Messrs Oatman, by way of aiding the association, subscribed 9100 In stock. ,The balance of the stock was subscribed by respoisible far .ers and the Factory built at once, according to plans and specifications submitted by Messrs Oatman. Upon its couiple tlon the Messrs Oat mans took poases- slon ot same and equiped it ready ror the mautifacture of butter and cheese about May firm, 1883. Our farmers at that time being largely, though u»- profitably, engaged In sheep raising, were ot course not prepvfed to deliver large qualities of milk at first and their former success in dairy farming not havi:ig fully met their expectations, they wefe rather slow to adopt Dairy farming to the exclusion of oihe<- branches. But as It became apparent that the factory was being operated and the product d spoiled of by parties who understood th«-ir business and at­ tended to it. to the exclusion of every thing else, aud had abundant capital to insure their patrons against loss, and the monthly dividends *ere fully up to the expectations of the patrotie, Sheep began to disappear and cows to take tlieir pluce, and continued to do so until but very few *lieep are now -eeu here. Yet not until the Messrs Oatman had secured the services of C N. Thouipsou as manager, and Robert Jones, assistant, did the monthly divi­ dends fully meet their expectations or of all the patrons. In this seiect'ou they as wt>li us tbe patrons were tx- oeeJiugly fortunate, as no factory in auy county can boast of more com­ petent thorough and lalihlui service in Its management, or geutleuianiy trentmeut of its patrons, than this Ring wood factory, and as aconse queuce a large and rapid iucrease ol milk delivered to their care. As soon as it became evident that tbe uecessa- ry quantity of milk could be secured in the winter mouths to entitle the Stockholder^ to their money for the actory from the Messrs Oatman, a little extra effort was made to increase lite product for those uiouthsi Aud just here let me say, no efiort, "has ever beeu made In tbe history ot the facto­ ry. by its Stockholders or patro is in the iuterest of tbe stockholder or patrons, which have not beeu heartily endorsed and very ably aasi ted by the Messrs Oatmans in time aud mouey. &ven to loauing mouey in uiany instances to farmers to purchase cows or pay debts Incurred wbile engaged In advancing the Interest of the lac- tory. In paying liberally for hauling milk long dlatauoes tor such as desired to deliver their milk here when dis­ tance prevented. Indeed nothing honoraole or legltimste lias been left undone on tbe part ol tbe Messrs Oat­ man or their manager Thompson, which seemed possible tor them to do to enuauce the interest of the patrons of the factory,and as a result of such mutual effort many thousand pouuds of milk were delivered in the month refered to more than tbe contract re quired. And as all parties had iabored lor this result, checks were promptly forwarded to the several stockholder for the amouut of their subscription by the Messrs Oatman upon receipt of which the Trustees gave them a Deed of the factory. l'hus by the mutual, earnest eflurts of the Trustees and patronp, and the Oatman Brothers aud their workmen, the Kingwood Butter aud Cbee*e factory has been built up from tbat little talk between neigh­ bors in the old Depot, to one of the largest, most profitable, and most sub­ stantial Institutions of tbe kind In Northern Illinois. Ant^so long as It oontinuos under tbe present manage- , ment its prosperity la insured. ALOONOUN- EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--Rev.
