Tice's barn yards.—Lamont Cor. Over the Hills To County Home John H. Rathbun Writes Enter tainingly of Trip to Varyabura> Last Thursday afternoon Chas. O. Locke and Henry A. Pierce had business at the County Home at Varysburg and invited the writer to accompany them. The trip was made through the Middle Reserva tion to Perry, Warsaw and over the Orangeville hills. On our arrival we were met by Edward C. Stan ley, the keeper, who accompanied Mr. Pierce to the party he wished to see, while Mr. Locke acted as guide for Clarence E. Jones and myself for a trip about the build- ings aud grounds. The taxpayers of Wyoming County may feel proud of the man ner in which the Superintendents of tbe Poor and their assistants provide for tbe people in the differ ent towns who apply to them for assistance. It is surprising to leara of so few who arc familiar with the situation. With most people it seems a horror to mention the County Home, but as we looked into the faces of the inmates of both the men's and women's de partments there was not one who did not appear to be perfectly satis fied with their surroundings. Seat ed in easy chairs on the wide ver andas or out on the shaded lawng, everyone seemed contented. The men's building was the first visit ed, here everything was aa clean and tidy as the house of the most exacting housekeeper. William Wilcox of this place, who was run over by the cars sev eral weeks ago, and lost both legs, has been removed from the Warsaw hospital, and was found running his wheel chair about iu the main part of the room. He is the only man inmate from Castile in the in stitution. We were then shown about the barns and other buildings. The large grain barn Is filled to tbe roof and large stacks outside, which shows that the gratnery, as large as some houses, will again be filled when the grain is threshed. The same order and cleanliness was noted in the cow barn, which is the pride of Superintendent Wing. A record is kept of each cow, and if is said that the first thing Mr. Wing docs when he arrives is to inspect this record, and If there is a cow that does not meet with his approval, she is led down the road and another one comes to take her, place. The main building is tbe home of the keepers, Mr. and Mrs. Stan ley, and back of their quarters are the dining rooms for the inmates, the kitchens, bakery and laundry. Out on the lawn on the west side, the womens' department, we found' Mrs. Holllday of Castile, who has been \ stopping here oa business,\ as the remarked, for several years. For as long as we can remember, this woman sold backs and numerous articles, not only in Castilebut nearly every town in the county, until her mind fail ed. She appeared to be in tbe beat of health and was as lively as •. school girl, but cannot remember any of her friends. After Mr. Pierce and Mr. Locke had finished their business the sua had passed down behind the'west ern hills, and as we stood besido the car we looked over the faces of Mr. Stanley's guests as they sot there with eyes fastened on the picturesque Tonawanda Valley, and each one seemed to be perfect ly contented, and watching anst waiting. Lombard Plums. They are all ready, 50c per bushai and you pick them.—Geo. T. Monro?. -T i }
