Fishermen in this vicinity this year,
as a general thing, are being pretty well
rewarded for their labors, large strings
of trout and pickerel being brought in
nearly every day. Among the largest
and best looking trout we have seen and
tasted, were some caught the other day
by Osman Dwyre, who knows when and
where to go to "get 'em every time"
Martin Batchelder also had the best of
luck last Saturday.
The house belonging tc Fred Morse
was again set on fire Monday last, by
the sparks flying from the engine. We
must be extremely watchful during this
dry weather in regard to fire. The roof
of every building is dry, and small
sparks will ignite the moss and the dry
stuff that collects upon the roof. Do
we need in Barton village any more fires
before we take some active measures to
provide means to stay the progress of
fire? We have several lines of build
ings in the different parts of the village,
that will all be burned when one build.
ing in the line is burned, and we shall
be extremely fortunate if we escape a
conhagratlon, with the means at oul
command to put out fire. If we are moi
to buy an engine, we can form a fire
company, provide ladders, water buck
cts and means to pull down buildings
so that in case of fire we shall have some
means to stay its progress.
