May 22, 1926.

The 730th meeting of the Enterprise Club was entertained
by Harwood Owings on Saturday May 22, 1926.

The absent members were Newton Stabler, Samuel Thomas,
T. Lamar Jackson and George Wilson.

The Guests included Francis Miller, Douglas Farquhar, J. W.
Jones, Tom Hyde, Roderick Adams and C. B. Cole of New Jersey.

C. L. Gilpin called the meeting to ordern and after reading
the old minutes, we took a walk about the place, with Harry
Stabler as foreman. We were all interested in looing over the
new barn which was built last winter, replacing one which was
destroyed by fire.

The barn is 40x50 and well planned, and was built to accomodate
both horses and cows, in addition to a very large storage
space for crops.

Our walk took us to the dairy, which with it's wonderful
Spring, is a great asset to a farm; close by was a ram which
was busy pumping water to the house and had been for about fifty
years.

After looking over the stock, garden and poultry yards, we
returned to the house where a wonderful roast-beef dinner was
awaiting us.

On resuming business the April minutes were read.
