Remember that DR.. Pierce of Boston

on of the new house erected there by
Methodist church.
It is reported that DR.. s. W. Smyth
Ad q large number of calls while here

bster hotel again on Wednesday.
We are notified by telegraph that DR..
rabtree, who has frequently visited this
ction, will be at Barton July 29d and

me of the visit.
For more than two weeks the weather
as been perfect for hay-making-only
ne small shower in the whole time.
he weather much of the time has been
Exceedingly hot. Rain is badly needed.
The weather having become exceed
ngly dry, there is great danger of fire,
nd every citizen in this village should
careful and vigilant. The danger
rom the sparks of engines is great along
be line of the track.
Albert Emerson, while leading calf,
a Wednesday last, by some means had
9th tines of pitchfork thrust through

from the wound, and will probably

Their papers state that Mr.. L. A. Davis

ow many acres James contains, and
That.is the depth of the soil ?
For obvious reasons, some of the Bar.
ow papers have stated that there are
everal delegates in Orleans county that
prefer Hendee or Barlow to Circuit. We
ave very good reasons for stating that,
With the exception of tho Jay delegates
Who were chosen by squad of Barlow
men from the Franklin county side o.

This is a very healthy season thu
ar, in this vicinity, but it is we'll t.
remember that many of the disease
hat afflict families and communities
ire the result of carelessness and filth
ness on the part of the owners and oc
pupants of buildings. 1t is very cas-
o breed diphtheria, typhoid fever, dys
Pntery and other dangerous diseases, b
leglecting to thoroughly cleanse stables
water closets, sink drains and othe
places where nasty, decaying matter &C
rumulates. This is the time to atten
to this matter. The germs of disease ar
now being sown. Chloride of lime
carbolic acid. and copperas are exceller
eleansers and disinfectants, to be use
% places where the filth cannot be r.
moved. We predict that there will
sickness about that fearfully filthy "bt
hive" unless measures are taken to con
pei the owners or occupants to do som
thing toward cleaning the premises. III
Trustees Of the village are empowere
by the village charter, to compel the o
cupants of this or any other house,
put it in safe sanitary condition, al
we hope they will do it. We urge upc
our citizens the necessity of puttir
their premises in such condition as n
to invite disease and death into the
families.
