Directors. This institution does large
and safe business.
E. r. Burlington, Passmore Bros, and
Mrs. S. r. Kimble keep country stores.
| Haines & Kirk keep hardware store, and
in connection with it C. G. Mcclure carries
on all kinds of roofing and spouting. Jas.
J. Bird and Charles McDougall do general
blacksmithing, and John and Lewis Kirk
do blacksmithing and have machine shop.
Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Buckley and Mrs
Reynolds keep millinery establishments,
and Mrs Fairbank makes dresses and sells
trimmings and patterns, C. r. Kirk deals
in confectionery.
There are three doctors in the Sun-Dare,
lIeston and Kirk. Dare and Kirk dare to
monopolize most of the practice, while
lleSton, having amassed a competency,
sits back in his arm chair and enjoys it.
So our friend Budd Haines told US and
Budd seems to know all about the Sun and
all about pumps and hydraulics and hydro
states too. Another Kirk keeps the drug
store and makes the pills for the other doc
tors to dispense. A. ii. Smith, d. D. S.,
pulls and plugs teeth about as easily and
as quickly as these dsagreeable operations
can be performed by any one.
There is but one church in the Sun, the
the Methodist Episcopal, in charge of Rev.
J. O'Neil, but Mr.. Galley breaches the Sec
ond and fourth Sabbaths of each month IN
the hall.
There is a nice hotel in the Sun kept by
VIM. Grason, and Mrs. Burkins keeps an
other cosy little one.
A. II. Briscoe buys grain and sells fertil-
izers of all kinds at his ware house in the
southern part of the village.
The normal school in this place is under
the auspices of the Society of Friends of
East and West Nottingham, and is con-
Quoted by VIM. #. Overholtz who has a
large and ilourishing school, and, though
he has not got the underhots, can wrestle
very successfully with the difficult pro-
blems of education.
Crosier & House run the foundry, or
rather run the molten metal into the moulds
and make all kinds of castings. Isaac r.
Taylor, Esq, dispenses the law and strikes
terror into the hearts of evil doors.
Jesse A. Kirk, the postmaster, with the
kindness and urbanity for which he is
noted, attends to the post-office and man
ages the mails much better than some fe-
males do that are in like position.
There are many fine farms around the
Sun. Our attention was attracted by those
of Barclay Reynolds and the picturesque
appearance of the residence of the late DR..
Stubbs, now occupied by his widow.
South of the village is the farm of John
keilholtz, who started life poor boy, but
who has amassed a considerable fortune.
He is now building a fine barn, one of the
largest in the county. The main building
is sixty by seventy-two feet, the straw
house attached forty by fifty feet. He has
fine place, and, like the members of the
club to which he does not belong, he is a
good farmer. Robert Harrington is the
architect and builder of this barn, and,
like all the buildings he erects, it is built
in substantial and creditable manner.
We called upon Job Haines and hunted
all round his premises, but could not find
him. We nearly got lost in his fine patch
of rye hunting for him, and saw a nice
blue patch of water from the east end of
his barn, which we afterwards learned was
the mill dam of Edwin Hanes. After
wards at sunset we wandered out to the
picturesque old mill and the quiet valley
where it stands and up the hill beyond,
and heard the vesper bell of the NJ. E.
Church sounding glad chimes on the even
ing air. and thought we had seldom gazed
upon a village where the people were more
prosperous and happy. QUILp.
