We had the pleasure of having a
social chat with our old friends,
John Carrow and wife, last week,
both of whom maintain the same
social and hospitable dispositions as
of yore.
Farmers are busily engaged in
planting corn, the most Of whom
predict good crop. The rains Of
last Saturday and Sunday, have
helped the vegetation wonderfully.
While at Edmund last week, we
hung up our hat and took dinner
with George Bartle, proprietor of the
Edmund hotel, and Judging from
the layout set before us we belie"e
George is fast gaining the reputation
of a landlord.

A great many old settlers attend
ed the funeral of Christopher Gag
gill, last week.
We were entertained over night
last week in the eastern part of the
town, by Mr. w. II, Penhallegon,
his wife and amiable daughter, (Mil-
la), who entertained us with some
very fine selections of vocal and in
strumental music. Mr.. P. has a
splendid stock; and judging from
the beautiful fields and pastures OF
grass he has under cultivation, he
does not intend for his fine soil to be
washed down the valley. He also
has large barn for the protection
of his stock in winter, besides num-
erous out houses for the protection
of machinery, etc. But what at
tracted our attention the most was
his beautiful residence, which is
large, and built on the most approx
ed plan; all of which goes to show
how tasteful MIR. P. is in that direc-
ton. We are exceedingly sorry to
note however that Mr.. P. has had
most of his fruit trees girdled, by
means of some pest during the past
winter, which he thinks is the mole.
To the happy family, we would say,
we shall ever remember and cherish
the kindest recollections for them !;
and wish there were more such
! homes.
Lewis Bros of Linden are doing a
fair business, considering the busy
season of the wear with the farmers.
Why shouldn't they ? They sell
goods at bedrock prices, and adver-

Christopher Caggill passed to his
heavenly home from Linden, on
May y, 1885; aged II. He was
born at Askrigg, in the county Of
Yorkshire, England, where he lived
until he arrived at young manhood
when he came to this country and
settled in Wisconsin. After a few
years Of residence in other parts Of
the state he came to the town oil
Linden, and bought the farm which
he occupied when he died. By
carefulness and economy he acquir-
ed a competence, which shared with

failed greatly, and on the above

still. His funeral was attended by
