Girls or women who can work in
factory are sure to find employment
in Barton.
The John Heating building, long oc-
cupied by James Cassidy and others,
is being moved by Joseph Heath and
Charles Boswell to its site on Brown
street. The old Graves, of late,
NJ. J. Smith shop, will be taken down
and moved elsewhere. These two
buildings have long been landmarks"
in the village. When we first knew
the town, and for many years after
wards, William Graves was keeping
the town records and repairing watch
es in one one Of them; John Jones was
doing blacksmithing in the other, and
since his day it has been used for al
most everything.
There was considerable local inter-
est in the races at White River juno
ton last week. Some of the Coventry
horses were there, the Ell. A. Folsom
mare, and we understand, the Burt
Blake horse. The Folsom horse made
one very fast heat, but lost the race,
being beaten by "Sankey," in 2:191a.
She won second money, however. Hell
en- M, the noted w. E. Bailey mare,
from the Maplewood stock farm, Hard
wick, was beaten by "Alcander," best
time, 2:17. 'sMack," the gamey Rut-
land stallion, trotted an exhibition
mile in 2:1715, and '"Martha Wilkes"
mile in 2:141a.
r. S. Twombly took us up to his
realms in the north part of the vii
lage, where he is planning to have a
lot of houses erected ere long. He
has bargained several lots already,
and is offering them at reasonable
rates. The lots are not farther from
the village center than many others
on which buildings have been put up,
and most of them are so situated as to
be easily built upon. There is plenty
of stone near by for ground founda-
tions, and earth for filling where it is
needed. AS buildings are put up nee
essary streets will be built. By the
way this section is at present largely
devoted to gardening. Mr.. Twombly,
Mr.. Randall, Mr.. Rowen and Mr.. Bel
KNAPP are each trying to get first veg
etables on to the market. We doubt
if there are more advanced crops in
the whole town. This section ought
to have name, and we suggest that
it be called "Garden HILL" this can
easily be changed to Garden City"
when it develops.
