The building has been reftted and the room
formerly occupied as dining hall arranged fol
the meetings of the farmers club. The grounds
have also been put in good order and every
| thing done in advance that was thought to be
conducive to the interests of the association and
the people generally. Entering the building the,
first object striking the eye on the
| FIRST FLOOR
is the fountain, which has been rearranged and
| reftted by Mr. f. S. GunteIt. The base of the
| fountain has been arranged with imitation OF
| natural rock, in whose cliffs are seen ferns and
grasses which glisten with every hue of the en-
erald as the water falls back into the basin be-
low, casting Its spray on each leaf and petal like
fairy cascade in some elfn scene. The space
within the railing has been freshly turfed and
tastefully ranged with rare flowers from his
own green ouse and that of the Crouch broth
ers, Mrs. Sneed and Messrs. Dickinson, Baum
gardner and others. The posts are feStoomed
with evergreens, while rustic hanging baskets
and flower stands between add to the beauty of
the whole. Opposite the western door is a sum l..
mer house in rustic style, also the work of Mr..
Guntert, with seats made of cedar. Th, entire
