The administration of Pinehurst a Hairs is unique, individual and indicative of the master mind conceiving and putting into existence this model village. Situated as Pinehurst is, live miles from the nearest neighboring town and in the very centre' of a 6,000-acre tract of land, it is sutti ciently removed from surrounding inllu euces to give it a distinct individuality which is recognized by the visitor at once. Each department of the work is under the immediate charge of a foreman or manager, who has his quota of men necessary for carrying on his part of the work. For instance, there is the electrical department, the nursery and vegetable garden, the dairy and farm, the livery stable, the trolley road, the house fur nishing, the surveying and grading, the department of streets, walks and town planting, the plumbing, and the forestry force ; each has work in its own particu lar line, as indicated by the name of the department, and each is supervised by a foreman especially adapted to the work laid out. Each of these departments re ports weekly at the general otlice to the town superintendent, who is Mr. Tufts" personal representative upon the grounds. Then there is the Holly Inn, the prin cipal hotel of l'inehurst, managed by At wood & Sise, the Casino managed by Mrs. Upham, the Magnolia house, the Pine Grove house, the Cedars, the Oaks, and so on through the list of hotels and boarding houses each run separately and distinct, yet conducted in harmony and with a view to the general interest of the village. By this method each department is responsible for certain work, which it strives to perform equally satisfactory, if not in a better manner than other departments; yet by con certed action the cost of work accom plished, and friction between the various forces, is reduced to a minimum. The duties in one division varying totally from those of another, causes only friendly rivalry in working out a general end. The town affairs admitting of no politics, bickerings and delays are entirely foreign. If it is advisable to accomplish a certain purpose, instructions are given to the heads of the several departments involved in that especial class of work; all start together, and in an incredibly short time the object is accomplished as a whole. The hotels and cottages are supplied with fresh wholesome milk from the dairy, located at the southeastern ex tremity of the farm. The livery stable supplies teams necessary for pleasure of the guests and work on the estate. The market garden supplies vegetables tli rough the store and delivered directly to the consumer. The dairy and livery supply the market garden and nursery with fertilizer necessary to raise such articles as are in demand. The electrical department supplies lights to all parts of the town, and the power w hich draws the trolley cars from Pinehurst to South ern Pines and return, and pumps water from the purest of springs and driven wells into the village mains and reser voir. The forestry forces supply the fuel used in the open fireplaces and stoves of the villagers, and to the power plant for generating steam used by its engines. The department of streets, walks and town planting, keeps the village walks clean, the streets in repair, the lawns neat, the planting spaces tilled with na tive and foreign shrubbery well culti vated, and the door yards cleared of rubbish, permitting the village to furnish 'a pleasing contrast to the towns one is accustomed to see in passing through many sections of the country. In hurriedly jotting down these im pressions of Pinehurst the writer has no doubt omitted many points of interest to the visitor, but has endeavored to curso rily touch upon the reasons which un derlie facts patent to all.

Bert Couch, fifteen years old, ex hibited at the Kings Daughters fair a jointed double-seated swing of his own make a piece of workmanship that would be a credit to a more experienced artisan. The Kings Daughters held a fair and festival Wednesday afternoon and even ing in their hall. The members col lected a large variety of useful and orna mental articles, and provided nice re freshments for the occasion. The hall was prettily decorated with holly and long-leafed pine, and the walls were tastily hung with beautiful pictures. In the evening there was a silent drill by a bevy of young ladies. The slice of scripture cake (the recipe of which we hope to print next week) sent to The Outlook wraits on a more vigorous di gestion than the editor can now boast of.
