of People.

promising beautiful September dav, aud
fine days have leen SO rare this month that
we all appreciate them when we are favor
ed with one. About eight o'clock We left
I the city, with enc of Tilson & klinghcltz
4 fine rigs for the Fair at Clarks Mills.
| Taking the Calumet road, we passed load
after load of grain which the farmers were
| bringing to market. The drive over this
! road is delightful, through a fae country
with many we'll cultivated farms, which
/ show evidence of thrift and ENTERPRISE
/ Frequently, as We passed along, We heard
/ the noise Of the tire shing machine and saw
! busy crowd Of men, boys and horses on
duty as threshers, and all along the road
We saw farmers improving the fine day in
| plOwiag; but aside from the welcome sight
of the busy tanners disposing of the
beau iful fruit of this seasons labor, nature
mas done much TO make TIE drive in that
direction very pleasant, as some of the
scenery is very fine. Silver Lake is deser-
wing of its beautiful name, nestled as it Is
among hills that slope gradually from the
water on ell sides, while their tops are
covered with fine trees that almost hide it
from view. Ii seems well chosen spot
for the Nupnery located there on high
bluff verlooking the lake; as the beauty
of the place might almost tempt one to
live there "A life of seclusior.
Upon approaching the Fair Grounds we
find CROWDS Of people in carriages. omui-
busses, wagons and many pedestrians, all
Eurrying to the Fair. catering the gate
