50 tons of hay, 10 acres corn, 100 bushels potatoes and 1/2 acre fruit comprises an

Cheese Board for twenty-one years, ships daily 300 pounds of milk. He has had
a life's experience of farming. Mrs. Vallance's grandfather settled here seventy-seven
years ago, coming from Glasgow, Scotland.
A. A. FOURNELLE
A. FOURNELLE was born in
North Augusta, Ont., in 1875,
where, thirty-three years ago, he
started to serve an apprenticeship as a
cabinet-maker, latterly establishing himself
independently in business there.
Twenty-five years ago he came to Cornwall
where he has resided ever since.
Mr. Fournelle first assumed the managership
of the old established firm of Farlinger
& Auty, and then became manager for
the late Jerry Buckley. This latter position
he held for seven years. He was
for a time salesman for the well-known
furniture firm of Alex. McDonald & Co.
He subsequently embarked independently
in the furniture repairing and cabinet
making, and latterly in the furniture
business. Mr. Fournelle, who has made
a splendid success of this last venture,
has his store located in the Adams Block,
first door north of A. F. Mulhern's Coal
Office, Pitt Street. He carries a full line of all kinds of furniture, window shades,
pictures and picture framing. He particularly features bedroom sets, parlor
sets, dining room sets, and in fact all furniture used in connection with housekeeping.
He also handles antique furniture, and is well equipped to supply the
public in any of these lines. His services as a repairer and upholsterer are in general
demand. Mr. Fournelle is a believer in moderate prices consistent with good value.
