The event of the season so far, was
the millinery opening of Miss Kittie a.
Carroll On Thursday last we stepped
into the store lately vacated by NJ. T.
Grandy, but now occupied by Miss Car
roll, and were surprised at finding such
nice stock of millinery all beautifully
and tastily arranged. We commend
her OH being enterprising, courteous
and obliging and bespeak for her pros
porous business during her sojourn in
this village.
On Sunday our friend Samuel Gray,
of Peck, invited us to take drive with
him to the farm of Daniel Foley in En-
met to look over his thoroughbred stock
where we arrived at about ten o'clock.
We found Mr.. Foley at home, who, with
his brother. kindly escorted us around
the place and showed us his pure bred
Berkshire pigs, which are well worth
seeing, also his thoroughbred Short
Horn bull, a model of beauty, some fine
calves and his thoroughbred Percheron
mare and colt 1t then being noon we
were invited in and partoOk of an excel
lent dinner after which we took a strole
to the back part of his farm, and in
| looking over his fields we failed to see
a stump, and can say he has one of the
finest farms of over 200 acres in En-
met township, and is continually i'm
proving it. He is making an addition
to his barns and joining them together
and believes in having convenient shell
ter for his stock, and implements during
the winter months-a very sensible idea
While at the rear of this farm we saw
some fine 1-year-old and 2-year-old colts
also some thoroughbred cotswold
sheep. We then retuned to the house
and after Mr.. Foley's obliging brother
hitched up our horse we drove over tc
see some of Mr.. Foley's fine cattle ant
sheep on another farm and from there
we went to Mr., Byrne's where we tool
a look at a fine Percheron owned b!
Messrs. Byme q Foley beauty in built
and superior in action. From there W,
went to Emmett and in company will
DR.. Abbot, the genial secretary of TIN
Agricultural Society, and David Dono
hue we inspected the fair grounds ant
found the entire arrangement of tn
same complete. We then took to on
rig and meandered towards home feel
ing well repaid for our journey.
