Adams & Co.

There are many beautiful things be-
ing shown at the rival fairs, but the
fairest show Of all in the business CEN
ter OF the city is the millinery empor-
ium of Adams & Co., 80 Monroe street.
The regular display of the firm OF mil
linery Is always an attraction, and q
great one too, but this week, beng fair
week, and just to show their hundreds
of visiting friends what they really can
do in the way of high art and lovliness,
they have excelled all previous efforts,
and their exhibit is now really the
event of the week. This they term 3
formal opening OF the early fall styles.
1t embraces bits of lovliness from PARIS
and other fountain-heads of fashion.
Styles in ladies headwear this year
seems TO have centered upon no partlc-
ular idea in shape or color, but COM
bines all past efforts with many new
and beautiful thoughts and suggestions
for the qualification and ornament of
lovers of beauty IN delicate harmony
and light artistic shape. In the shades
of color, green, white and navy blue
seem to predomlnate, although many
beautiful bonnets and hats show most
pleasing combinations of softer shades.
Inc Shapes arc CcTtdlnly very ieICulns,
the small round crowns being in great
est profusiou. They are fashionable,
and although they do not fit the head
they will, SO say the acknowledged au-
thority Of this house, supplant the
toque of last year.
1t is interesting to observe the many
expressions of admiration and hear the
pretty pet names the ladies' bestow up
on the collection as they lInger by the
hour examining them. The display
certainly reflects great credit upon this
most popular of firms.

Berkey g. Cav.

The greatest show of fine furniture
at the West Michigan grounds Is made
by Berkey * Gay. 1t consists of an
elaborate mahogany dining set, an ex-
quislte bed room suite and iRnumer-
able special pieces. The display is one
such as only a great institution could
make. as il is drawn from an infinite
variety of style IN construction and
high quality. The goods are the finest
upon the ground and attract a con
slant throng, who tarry about the ex-
hibit to study and admire. The ma
hogany dining set attracts the greatest
attention, as Its imposing grandeur APP
peals at once 10 every beholder and
compels admiration. The problem with
all observers is the probable cost of it,
and the circumlocution by which each
might become possessor of IL. The
bed room suite is one OF which prince
might be proud 10 possess. Ii is mad e

day to buy more stock. Mr. Bakers
trade continues to boom, and shows the
result of good management and judici-
Gus advertising. Early Monday morn

York, he sold bill of goods for 5000 to
a Fishkill lady and the same day party
of New Haven ladies came up especially
to look at his assortment of baskets. Mr.
Baker also has a furniture wareh ouse at
Washington depot. On account of his
increase in business at Hawleyville, he
has decided to enlarge his warehouse in
the spring, possible putting in the foun-
dations this fall. The reading room
which he opened for the benefit of peo-
pie staying over between trains is very
popular and is often filled with people.
Indirectly it has brought Mr. Baker lot

THE LATE AMOS HARD.

The late Amos Hard of Berkshire, who
died last week, had lived in Newtown all
his life. He was a farmer, the son of
Cyrus Hard, who followed the same call
ing. He was at one time interested in
the comb business, with Samuel Curtis
and others. Beside the two sons, Messrs
William Hard of Berkshire and Chester
Hard of Sandusky, o., there was a
daughter who died at the age of six or
seven. Mr. Hard never took an active
interest in political affairs, preferring the
peace and contentment of his own home.

AFFAIRS ABOUT TOWN.
A FRIEND SPEAKS OUT.

1t was fitting tribute THE BEE paid
to its retiring editor in recent issue.
Much more might have been said, but
THE BEE, always modest in treating OF
its own household, was careful to retain
its popularity in that respect. With
scores of warm personal friends, pleas
ant memories will ever clnster around the
name of r. I'll. Smith, though the width
of a continent may separate him from
them We follow him in thought in his
journey with his load of precious living
freight, wherein centers so much of gold
en- promise for future usefulness, to the
land of orange blossoms, and in the back
bone of whose stock flows so much OF
sterling New England blood. The boy
. is father to the man, and the same in-
domitable energy and perseverance that
characterizes the man, shone forth, when,
as a mere boy he plodded along in the
busy routine of every day farm life. 1t
mattered not how difficult or disagree
able the task, it had only to be told the
boy what to do, and it was done. No
back ache, no blistered hands, no tired
legs, no scorching sun, could turn him
from his work. Ever happy in duty
done, and ever on the alert, for other
tasks to conquer. None other than such
a character could have ever resurrected
TIE BEE, from an almost defunct con-
dition, and placed it upon a plane where
it could, and does command the respect
and confidence of a large and intelligent
1t did not need all of ones
fingers on which to count the few, who
had any faith to believe thss THE BEE
could ever recover itself enough to get a
healthy circulation when Mr. Smith de-
cided to take it up. The writer well re-
members the anxious hours that cluster !
ed around the new departure in its infan !
cy. While some showed disposition to
lend helping hand, more stood aloof,
even to advertise in the thing !

on that the only way to make the paper

But the editor said no, it shall continue

,o-day, no other name could apply so
we'll to a paper whose busy core of work
,rs fit about the hive from which THE
BEE makes its weekly flights. Honest in
lis intentions, true to his convictions,
,earless in his rebuke of sin, acting, not
rom policy, but from duty, the editor
steadily moved along, until THE BEE has
become a welcome guest in $500 homes,
Hinging its way from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from the northern lakes to
he southern gulf. For no descendent of
Newtown feels quite happy unless equip
bed with THE NEwTOwN BEE. With
sorrow we part with valued friend,
