There was nothing at our late county fair that attracted so much attention as the exhibition of some very fine specimens of bread; and the contest for championship was a very strong one, being competed for by a number of Fulton county’s best bread bakers, but was easily carried off in flying colors by Mrs. John C. Rorick of Wauseon. The flour was purchased of John Richard, who takes pride in selling the best flour kept in any store in northern Ohi. We have tried it therefore know whereof we speak.

Mr. John C. Rorick, an intelligent citizen of Wauseon, O., was in Nashville a short time ago prospecting, and left with the remark to an acquaintance that he was pleased with the country and might return next fall to make this his home, being desirous of exchanging a cold for a mild climate. Since he returned he has published a letter in the Northwestern Republican, from which me make the following extract of local interest to us:

I forgot to notice in its proper place an invention by Mr. J.C. Rorick, called “Rorick’s Process” for preparing butter for market. Personally, I know nothing of its merits, but dealers tell me that it adds to the value of marketable butter from three to eight cents a pound.
It has superseded every other process where it has been introduced, and has given entire satisfaction in every case. It would be well enough for butter dealers to give it a trial. It will new hurt them and may possibly get them into a “new pickle” from which they cannot escape without a fullness of joy in the region of the pocket book.
