of the Association is now in charge of
its affairs and will do the best they
can to get as much out of the re-
sources as possible so as to reduce
the liability on each stockholder.
H. A. Grubb, who for a number of
years was secretary of the

affairs, was in Bellefonte, on Mon-
day, and took exception to the ar-
ward; Mrs. J, C. Krumrine and Mrs. here was not exactly political he did ticle publishea in the Watchman last
| week in regard to the Association,
| which was based entirely on infor-
‘mation furnished by members of the
| Association, According to his state-
| ment the Association is not in as
|bad a financial condition as pictured
| last week,
Mr. Grubb stated that at the or-
ganization of the Association mem-
bers were required to give their note
for only $100 as collateral to the
for operating capital instead
{of $200 as given in the Watchman,
|and that the annual dues were only
$1.00 instead of $8.00, as we stated.

present obligation to the bank Mr.
Grubb gave as $11,000. Outstand-
ing merchandise accounts amount to
almost §7,000, but it is probable
that not over $5,000 of this amount
is collectible. The stock on hand
in the warehouse at Lemont has
been appraised at $2,300, and at
public sale will probably realize $1,-

(of binder twine, feeds of various
kinds, oyster shells, egg mash, ete.
The lot and building at Lemont cost
1 $1500 and ought to bring from $800
to $1000 at public sale. The lots
at Millbrook were taken in on a
‘debt and just how much they will
bring is problematical. As Mr.
