We called on Nels Berlin one day
this week. Mr. I, was not at home, but
we examined his new house as well as
we could by peering into windows and
looking at the outside. Mr. Berlin has
a nice little house, though unlike any
other we ever saw. His grounds are
artistically planned, and when occupied
and his idea Hilly carried out, his tine
farm will l excelled by no other iu this
lieairtiful LookingghvM valley. When
Mrs. Berlin cobjes we will call on her.
who ever Hie fortunate lady may be.
