A few households may vet be found where the same kindly and lavish pro- vision is made for friend or stranger, where the essence of the good old days yet lingers, where grace and cheer, culinary art and drawing-room accomplishments, combine to welcome the coming and speed the parting guest. One of the most cheering and hospitable. widely known as such throughout the country, is that of Wilkinson Price, in Barrett township. Monroe county.
