The MONITOR is in receipt of letter
from California, containing an account OF
the death of Jera NJ. Mansfield, who died
recently in Napa, in that state. He will
be remembered by some of the older citi-
zens as having resided in this town during
his youth and early manhood. He left
this town about 1916, going to Boston,
thence to California at the time of the
discovery of gold. He made permanent
residence there, married, raised three sons,
all we'll established in business, grew rich
and died at the age of II.
Miss Effie Hager, daughter of J. F.
Hager, who resided on the Bemis farm

illness of several years. Her death at last
was unexpected and sudden. She has
been great sufferer. Her funeral was at
tended by Rev. Mr.. Douglass. The re-
mains were carried to Morrisville for
| burial.

CT. West, special agent for the New
England Telephone and Telegraph Co. of
Boston, was in town last week to see
about putting in a telephone exchange
here, including the district of Glover, So.
Barton and Barton Landing, with a small
fee for speaking outside the district. They
will charge $40 for use of telephone in
dwelling houses, and ga in business
blocks. They have canvasser, Mr.. Red
field, who will visit the people this week
and as soon as twelve subscribers are Sc
cured the work will be commenced. AS
we have a long distance telephone here
this will enable those who put it in to
speak to distant towns from their own
homes.
We are sending out our Centennial"
edition to our subscribers gratis, which /
they will accept as our Christmas gift. We
are sure it will prove of interest TO all, and
be of much value to all who are interested |
in Barton, or in Orleans county. 1t has
been prepared with much labor and ex |
pense by US and we are sure it will be ac-
ceptable. Mr.. j. I'll. Walbrdge, who wrote
up most of the historical part and the |
longer sketches, did his work well and is |
entitled to credit. The publishers under
took to make the paper practically cover
the whole ground and added two pages
extra to afford room, finding themselves /
then short about one page. Quite large
amount of matter was written and set,
which was left out for want OF. room In
the end. We have quite a large number of
for six cents They will also be on sale at
the post-office in Barton Landing for the
same price. We shall deliver ali copies
now sold this week.
