and large part of his stock; he then sold
out the business to his clerk and son-in-
law, Horace G. Pierce. Having amassed a
competence, he erected in 1888 his present
beautiful residence and has retired from
active business. From comparative lei
sure his neighbors and townsmen have
called him to the discharge of many du-
ties of trust and responsibility. He has
been several years selectman and town
treasurer, and nine years lister, and has as
sisted in the settlement of several estates.
He has been one of the leading men in Sc
curing the various enterprises and i'm
provements that have wrought such
change in Barton village during the past
few years. Mr.. Dutton possesses the in
sight and moral courage for taking the
iniative in new business enterprises, bal
anced by calm and conservative judgment.
He was one of the ten who bought the
chair factory, one of the six who were
pledged for the electric light plant, and
one of the eleven who erected the Hotel
Barton He was one of the trustees, and
in factTthe management devolved largely
on him sof putting. in the electric light
plant. He was onesof the weter commits
sioners that procured the water supply for
the village. It will be seen that Mr.. Dut-
ton retireds from his mercantile business
at just the right time to liberate him for
public functions, which he has discharged
with ability andMa@6lity. He passed all

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.
The recent development in Barton Vii
lage seemed to warrant the &stallation of
an electric light plant. An act permitting
the erection of plant ardsthe bonding of
the village was procured IL 1894. Early
the next year a committee al investigation
was appointed at village meeting, con-
sisting of @. F. Percival, Geo. III Davis
and j. w. Murkland. After careful in
vestigation the committee decided to pur-
chase as source of power what is known
as the sPlunkett'' waterfalls in the Clyde
river near West Charleston. At later
village meeting it was decided to put In
power plant at that place, and the village
trustees, E. @. Collision, E. F. button and
III. T. Seaver, were empowered to go Tor
ward and put in the works. The water
power site is one of the best in the county;
the river is quite large; the flow OF water
comparatively steady; it is free from Ice,
and the dam, hume and power house are
on the solid rock. The head is rs feet.
The capacity of the wheel 500 horse pow
er, the two dynamos developing 4,ooo
lamp capacity. A new stone dam was
built, strong fume, large and convent

s. r. BIcKFoRD.
Selden Bickford, who runs n carriage
and job shop on the river is one OF the
busiest men in town. He does a large
amount OF planning, dressing and match
ing, carrying on meanwhile, carriage re-
pairing and the manufacture OF farm
wagons, single and double. His wagons
are thoroughly built OF good material,
and are largely used in this section. G. j.

RESTAURANT.
Mrs. Harvey, who has had long expe-
rience in the business, is running a good
restaurant and boarding table in the j. b.
Cassidy building, where good meals can
be had at any reasonable hour.
SOME OF THE OLDER CITIZENS.
James f. Gould, resident OF this VIII
lage, is probably the oldest native born
citizen in town. He was born about a
half a mile from where he resides on Park
street, in the old house near Geo. Norton's,
in 1921, and has been a resident OF the
town nearly all his life. His father was
Nathan Gould, one OF the first settlers I'm
town. Mr.. Gould has been industrious,
neighborly, honest and respected all his
life time.

good livery connected. The livery is run
by N. D. Martin, an old livery man, who
knows his business throughout. They
have fine coach which is used for sum-
mer guests on their short outing trips.
The house during it's first season was over
flowing with guests. If the house was en-
larged to twice the present number of
rooms, it could be filled in the summer sea-
son. There is talk already of charging it.
It's best advertisement is the praise of the
many guests who have already visited the
house.
E. F. BUTTON.
Mr.. Dutton has not only been resident
of Barton more than a third of century,
but during this entire time has been an
active factor in the business life of the viii
lage. He was born in Royalton in 1882,
and enjoyed only scanty advantages for
of that town, and came to Barton in 1860.
He engaged in the lumber business ten
years owning a mill where the Percival
factory is now located, and having success
sively as partners, l.. N. Chandler, broth
er-in-law, late of Barton Landing, and the
late j. P. Baldwin of Barton. He then be-
came familiar with the drug business, for
three years acting as clerk for VIM. JOS
lyn & Sons, and then bought out their
drug store, the only one in town. He con-
Quoted this business very successfully un-
til 1885, when fire destroyed his store

Mr.. Joslyn, who carried on bushes on
Church St., some years, bought residence
with land on the hill above the Peerless fac
tory where he devotes some time to farm
ing, doing meanwhile, quite business in
the sale of agricultural machinery, the
Wood moving machine and rake, being
his specialties. He has sold many machines

/ whole power works are most thoroughly
built The village of Island Pond, IL
miles distant, has leased. 100 horse power,
and its wires are run to the power plant.
The electric machinery was purchased of
| the General Electric Co., the work super
intended by their agent, F. M. Kimball of
Boston. The system is what is known as
the alternating. The electrical work is
done in the best manner known to sci
ence, all the material being frst-class.
The wiring is done with reference to
using the works for the use of power dy
namos in this village. Both arc and in
candescent lamps are used on the streets.
The cost of the entire plant is, in round
bers, $4,000. The capacity, for lights
and power, is largely in excess of present
needs.
BARTON WATER WORKS.
By an act of the legislature in 1886, the
village was authorized to put in a system
of water works, and to issue bonds for the
expense of the same. On the 26th of June,
1889, at a village meeting called for the
purpose, the village decided to put in
water system, not to exceed $4,000 in
cost. At the same meeting, it was voted |
to bond the village in a sum not exceeding
49, 600. T. w. Drew, E. F. Dutton and
Geo. I'll. Blake were chosen water commits
sioners. The commissioners procured the
services of Joel Foster, Esq, of Montpelier,
an experienced engineer and counsellor.
They sent water for examination and
from four sources, examined diff
ferent supplies and finally decided to take
the water from May Pond brook. The !
Boswell mill property, situated II miles |
east of the village, was purchased for 5000 |
for the purpose of reservoir. To insure a |
larger supply of water in dry times, a site
for stone dam with f1owage rights of four
feet was purchased at May Pond, a stone

being examined at this time for the full
rank of Major. The two daughters, Po-
mona and Helen, reside here and occupy
the pleasant Joslyn residence on Church
street. They are very helpful members of
the Cong. church.
JOHN ARKLEY.
The oldest blacksmith, both in years and
in the time he has done business in this
village, is Mr.. Arkley. He is an ingenious
man and natural mechanic. His handi-
work is hard to beat. Well posted in the
science of horse shoeing, he has a large
custom in his line. He has water motor
and runs several machines by power, and
can do almost any sort of job that is car
ried to him. He is at his old stand near
the new depot and can be relied on to do
any job well.
