1t costs 80 cents hundred to ship
freight from Chicago to Boston, and
only 60 cents to ship it from Barton

Mr.. c. E. Giffin has fully recovered

AS has been previously announced,
both the Woman's Temperance Union
and the county Temperance Society
meet here this week in conventions,
the first to be held during Wednes-
day and Thursday, the latter to be
held ON Wednesday. 1t is hoped
that the friends of temperance will
be present.
The citizens of the village and Vi
cinity are invited to have their ''latch
strings out on Wednesday and
Thursday, when the temperance peo-
pie are expected to meet here. If
they can do anything for the cause of
temperance here, or elsewhere, we
ought to esteem it privilege to in
vite them to our homes.

home and leave one, who, in better
days was a beloved husband and a
kind son.

wishes to do all his cutting before
the heavy SHOWS fall-if they are to
fall this year.
We are glad to learn that nobody
in Barton is responsible for the errors
which appear in the Barton items
furnished the Eapress. Those good
and model people up there are forced
to acknowledge that they are liable to
mistakes the same as ordinary NOR
tails. Try and be little more care
full, neighbors. We can't cry fol
your misfortunes, but we have a fel.
low feeling.
