Barton.

Mr.. Farrant will be in town on the

also large tomato plants.

and tasty fence around his front yard.
1t is the prettiest fence in the village.
Cassidy & Elliott renew and repair
rollers to wringers at prices much lower
than this work has been done heretofore
$3.50 will put in new roller.
Mr.. Stratton, who received the severe
injury to his wrist by the planer-knife
two weeks ago, has had very hard time
with the wound, but it is considerably
better now.
Prof. W. X. Annis is here again
breaking lot Of colts. He is about as
happy a man as you need to find, when
he can get a good colt strapped up with a
saw horse on his back.
A brakeman by the name of Bathro
fell from the cars near West Burke
Wednesday evening, having leg and
an arm severed. He survived only a
short time. He leaves family.
1t is probable that the Republican
Co. Convention will not be called till Au-
gust, perhaps August IL. The month Of
June will be full of conventions and
other public meetings, and haying will be
of more Importance to most Orleans
county men than politics.
The weather during the early part Of
last week was decidedly hot for May,
the thermometer showing go degrees
and over. In some places it climbed up
to 100. On Friday cooler wave came
on from the northwest and a slight
frost was seen on Saturday morning.
The Newport Express. from an occa-
sional correspondent, closes an account
of scrimmage at Spalding's hotel. a
few nights since, by the following pa
thetic language:
'Our blood curdles as we read thrilling
and tragic variations of western desper

This tragic narrative is not true il
the assertion that authority" is mute il

Williams. The only stigma that can res

is that which rests in every place wher,
liquor is sold unlawfully. The row al
