When the blood is loaded with im- purities, the whole system becomes dis ordered. This condition of things can not last long without serious results. In such cases, a powerful alterative is needed, such as Ayers Sarsaparilla. It never fails, and has no equal.
 "The awards granted at the Worlds Columbian Exposition, compared to the number of exhibitors, present the smallest number ever granted on the occasion of a Worlds Fair. This re- suit distinctly shows that unusual care and precaution were taken by the ex- pert judges, who, because of the rule requiring them to declare over their own signatures the reasons for their judgment, fully realized the great re- sponsibility thrown upon them. The exhibitor, therefore, may be assured that his award will have value such as the award granted at previous Ex- positions never gave" This state ment, from the official circular of the Worlds Columbian Commission, as ap- piled to Ayers Sarsaparilla, the only medicine of the kind admitted at the Worlds Fair, and which also received the highest possible awards, must con vince the most sceptical mind that this well-known blood-purifier stands far in advance of all other similar preparations in existence. It has cured others. it will cure you

In central and southern Arizona two crops or more of nearly everything is produced each year. This being true it is not wonderful that one should need two or more crops of some kinds of wearing apparel per year in this same locality. This is particularly noticeable in straw hats. No one can expect to make one straw hat do him through an Arizona summer. It is just about time now for the second crop and Alkire's have them, white for the harvest as it were, in fact the har- vest has already begun and the very low prices at which Alkire's straw hats are marked will make this second crop go even faster than the first crop. Styles and colors change somewhat with each crop and as Alkire's are au- thority there is no danger of getting last years hat at this years sale.

the Lowell Manufacturing Carpet works
and, with his father, invented, built and
jointly patented the world-famous Murk-
land Carpet Power Loom, which has been
most extensively used in the United States.
England, France and Belgium. Mr.. MurB-
land came to Barton in 1876, land purchased
the site of his present esta blishment. He
erected machine shop 35x70 it,, three sto-
ries, and foundry 40x72 it,, and put in
the best modern machinery adapted to his
business. During recent years the opera
tions have been mainly in the line of agri-
cultural machinery and repairs, with plows
and sugar arches speciality. He makes
about twenty different sizes and styles of
plows, and carries the greatest variety
of pillow repairs to be found in New Eng
land. He was the first to introduce the
Ionglever clevis pillow, some three or four
years before any competitor. He builds
saw benches, cider presses, buzz planners,
granite polishing machines, bobbin and
spool machines; in fact almost everything
made from steel and iron. The Murkland
furnaces are among the best wood burn
ing furnaces, and are made in nine differ
ent styles, adapted to use in the smallest
house, or the largest store or church. Mr..
Murkland makes a sugar arch that is sec
ond to none, and is in very general use in
this section. He employs from ten to
twenty hands and conducts business that
is highly conducive to the prosperity of
Barton, as the money is earned here, and
paid out here, and his business calls in
trade from wide circuit of country.

Pearson who, the next year, was installed
pastor of the two churches. In 1872,
another church edifice was built, again
largely through the liberality of Col. Ellis
Cobb. The location of the church was
cause of much controversy, and it was built
on the land near where the new depot
stands. Subsequent pastors were l.. ID.

the oldest child of the family. His only
brother, Albert B. Blake, is a pastor in
good standing in the Methodist church,
his sisters are Mrs. Henry F. Pillsbury and
Mrs. A. g. Jewell of Barton. Mr.. Blake
has had busy life His father went to
California when he was but fourteen years,
and as a boy the responsibility of help
ing care for and support a family fell to his
lot. For three years he worked hard with
his mother to care for the family. On the
return of his father, who had been fairly
successful in his gold hunting, the boy
learned the millwright's trade at which he
worked for some years, picking up his
education in select schools, at Newbury
Academy, Orleans Liberal Institute and
elsewhere. He began to teach when II

the war he came to Barton, where he
spent about year in the law office of Gen.

numbering partnership, The Orleans and
Caledonia Steam Mill Co., in Sutton. His
health failing he came to Barton, accept

the Thetford and Lyme depot as agent.
His services proved so satisfactory that he
was offered the depot at Barton, the third
in business on this division, and entered
his Office in April, '93. The new depot was
built the same summer. His duties in this
position very responsible, he has
charge of the passenger, freight, and ex-
press departments, and they are discharged
in manner satisfactory to the public and
the company. Mr.. Blood is a member of

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Since the advent of the railroad to this
village there have been quite large num-
Der of Catholic families in the vicinity. OF
late the number has been increased by
French Canadian Catholics who have been
taking up farms in surrounding vicinities
until the number of adherents to this faith
is such that strong church is maintained.
Previous to about 1877 the denomination
had no church, but at the time the Congre-
gationalists gave up their old church
building the Catholics purchased it, and
services have been regularly held. Rev.
Father Michaud, now Bishop Michaud,
followed Father McCauley, who made this
mission point for some time, and
his efficient management brought the
church into good financial standing.
When it was decided to erect new depot
on site near where the church stood,
arrangements were made for the moving
of the building on to a much more eligible
site on East street, some ten rods away.
This was done, the church considerably
repaired and set of horse sheds were put
up. Soon after the Melvin Elliott resi-
dence and lot was purchased for home
of the resident priest and matters were put
in very comfortable condition. Recently
the old Barron & Hamblet store building
has been purchased and moved near the
church and parsonage, where the lower
room is used for parochial school. Under
the ministrations of Rev. FIR. Turcot the
church seems to be both happy and pros
porous. FIR. Turcot looks after the
interests of the Catholic people at Green's
boro Bend and in other localities.
VALLEY BROTHERS.
Oliver and Joseph Valley, two enterpris-
ing and busy men, who for many years
carried on numbering and farming bust
ness east of the village, have recently
moved to this place and started up quite
business in getting out granite and in do
ing bridge and culvert work. They have
purchased a quarry, bought quarry ma
chinery, teams, etc., and employ quite.R
force of help. They are prepared to do all
kinds of rough granite work. During the
present season they have built two large
stone bridges and repaired another bridge
in this village. They have also, during
this season, raised up the old part of the
old DIR. Pierce house, which they own on
High street, built on a large addition
thereto and have lots, of tenement rooms
in the same. Oliver still owns his large
farm where he keeps 80 cows, the same
being rented at present. They are in the
market for any job in the line of stone
work.

Academy and Graded School was organ
lied in 1886. The school is supported from
a small academy tuition and by a tax on
the list of the incorporated school district,
which averages so per cent. The Grad
ed school of five departments provides
an excellent drill in the common school
studies, while the Academy provides good
academical opportunities, fitting for the
work of teaching or for colleges. Special
attention has been given to the High
School and Teachers courses. Good drill
in rhetorical work is given to each pupil.
The location of the school building is con-
venient and pleasant; it's rooms are well
furnished; it is heated by furnaces and
has modern closet arrangements. Every
thing has been done for the comfort and
healthfulness of the scholars. The church
and social privileges are good. FL. j. Stan
nard, present principal, has won deserved
reputation as teacher and manager, and
the school has an excellent standing under
his tuition. He is ably assisted by corps
of experienced teachers. The expenses of
the Academy to outside parties are very.
reasonable. An active and useful Town
Teachers Association is doing good work
for the teachers of the town.
THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
Rev. Elijah Lyman and Rev. Walter Cha
pin of Woodstock organized a Congrega-
tional church of seven or more members in
Barton in 1907, but no attempt to sustain
the services was made and in few years
the church became extinct. The present
church was organized Sept. "a, 1917, by the
Rev. Samuel Goddard of Concord, and Rev.
Luther Leland of Derby. 1t consisted of
seventeen members. The first minister
was Mr.. Leland, who proved worthy of his
charge, and within year the membership
was doubled. Oliver Blodgett was chosen
deacon in 1919. The next year a church
was built, largely through the agency and

SCHOOLS.

The schools of the town have a good
reputation. There are three DISTRICTS The
town proper, which maintains schools in
old Dists., No. 2, 8, 4, 5, 6, 10 and IL; the
Barton Landing High and Graded school
Dist, and the Barton Village Academy
and Graded school Dist. Besides this the
Catholics are maintaining a Parochial
school with from 20 to 35 scholars. The
schools outside the villages are small ex
cept in So. Barton, where the attendance
is good. The number of pupils at the Vii
lage exceeds 200, at Barton Landing, 10.
The present superintendent for all dis
tricts is Rev. w. E. Douglass. Barton

THE MErHoD1sa.aHt RcH.

The first Methodist church was organic
ed in 1907 Or 1908. The membership was
small and belonged partly to Glover.
Meetings were first held in log school
house situated not far west of the fair
ground. Quarterly meetings were held in
William Gould's barn. The Gould fami-
lies constituted a large part of the mem
bership. After the war of 1872 the church
was disbanded for a time, but was re-
organized in 1928. Soon after good brick
church edifice was built in the village; re-
vivals took place and the church became

Sept. 6, 1920. This church was built on the
forks of the road about half a mile north of
the village on the B. M. R. Nelson
farm The first settled pastor was Rev.
Thomas Simpson who was called in 1928.
He was at first diligent and successful, but
owing to various difficulties he was dis
missed after pastorate of five years. Rev.
Otis Curtis supplied the church part of the
time in 1881, and powerful revival took
place. Reverends Bowman, Brown, and
Ora Pearsons were the next pastors in 1884
and '35. In 1889 this church united with

BARTON LECTURE COURSE.
This association was organized in the fall
of 1894 for the purpose of promoting the
literary and musical tastes of the people.
Those buying course tickets become MEM
bers Six entertainments are given each
year, consisting of lectures and concerts.
Only the best talent has been engaged and
the interest has not tagged from the start.
Among some of the more noted lecturers,
wlrg. have been heard here are, Conwell,
Willis, Horn, Vending and De Motto The
concerts have been of high grade. This
year, among others the committee have
secured DR.. Henson, DR.. Macarthur, and
Robarts Harper. While the courses have
been expensive, the sale of tickets and at
tendance have been such that there has
been surplus of money. The success of
the enterprise is due largely to Prof. Stan
nard, Mr.. Cutting and an efficient board of
directors. 1t has been the policy to secure
the best, and the people have appreciated
the effort.
