New Barn at Aims House.

The Board of Chosen Freeholders met at
the Aims House last Monday, and without
division directed the Aims House Com
smittee to proceed and rebuild she barn de-
sstroyed By fire on Monday night Of last
week The only change in the new over the
|old structure is that the basement wall will
be q feet high instead Of 6, and the posts
"a feet instead Of Is. The barn is 44x62
feet II will cost about $4,000 to erect
the new building, which is just 500 less
than the insurance on the old barn and con-
tents. Henee this FIRE has cost the county
whatever the value of stock, hay, wheat,
implements may be. We wonder if the
Aims House have schedule OF the con-
tents of that barn so that fairly accurate
statement Of the loss can be made.
At the meeting Of the Freeholders held
Monday 9th instant. it was decided to ar,
range for fire protection for the county
buildings 50 that outside help would be IN
necessary.
HydEants with proper piping are to bt
placed about the buildings, so that all con
yeniences for lighting fire will be on chi
county property.
In regard to the lumber for rebuilding
the barn, il was decided that proposals fol
same should be offered
The building viii be constructed BY ths
days work, under competent supervision

E. s Bateman, Vice President, were also
at home and extended welcome hand to
the visitors
In blocks Of fifteen these enterprising
farmers and truckers, accompanied by wives
and daughters, were taken through the
works and were greatly pleased with what
they saw. They were given an object les
son in manufacturing and everything pos
sible was done TO make she occasion one
long to be remembered. After an inspec-
tion Of the plant, Mr.. F. H Bateman, who
led the first company Of sight see
ers, returned to the Office building and in :
vited his guests TO the second floor where
they were joined by the whole party. Re-
freshments were then served, consisting of
a bountiful supply Of cream and cake.
Water was supplied from the famous Gren-
looh spring, located on the Gloucester side
of Big Timber creek. After refreshments

celving a beautiful badge on which was

Dangling on the end Of the ribbon (the
colors Of which were in harmony with the
degree in which the Grange was workiDg)
could be seen the ever-popular metallic po-
tato, now worn as watch fob by thous-
ands es the hest farmers and truckers
throughout the land, who own and use
'sIron Age' Potato Machinery.
After the distribution Of the souvenir
badges. member arose to suggest that
Worthy Master Gaunt, Of the New jersey
State Grange, be requested to express the
appreciation Of the Grange for the reception
and entertainment given in their honor.
Mr.. Gaunt spoke eloquently and this
brought Mr.. F. II. Bateman to the front
again to make reply and TO tell the ladies
that he now had present for them, and for
the ladies only. He then had his assistants
distribute some choice apples. These were
made Of some waxen-iike material but were
surely splendid imitation. The core of
the apple was box OF choice candy. The
men folks seemed to be rather disappointed
but their counsenances were enlivened
again when some choice cigars were passed
around.
