About forty-five OF the friends and
neighbors of Mr.. and Mrs P. B. Bailey
made them pleasant visit Saturday even
ing, Jan. 16. Oysters were served and
every one appeared to enjoy the OCCASION
Light as have been the snow storms thus
far this winter there has been more snow
and sleighing up to this date in the winter
than last year. 1t was well into February
before there was good Shedding last win
ter.
A regular meeting of the Barton Teach
ers' Association will be held in the school

ssHistoryn All teachers are cordially in
vited to be present.

Ed. Porter and wife were much surpris-
ed last Friday evening when about fifty of
their neighbors called on them to inspect
their new house. After passing very
pleasant evening the company departed,

We learn of the death, which occurred
recently at her home in Corinth, of Mrs.
Pauline Sophia Corey, widow of John 0.
Sanborn. Mrs. Corey will be remembered
by people here as she formerly lived in
this town and moved to Corinth some
years ago to reside with her daughter.
She has two sons residing in Caledonia
county.
The concert by the Royal English Hand
Bell Ringers will be given next Friday
evening. This is one of the finest things
out and the lecture course association were
fortunate in being able to get them. They
use 131 bells, ranging from 81 ounces to
liz pounds, and they can manipulate
these in truly wonderful manner. You
will be sorry if you miss this.
There will be q Gospel Temperance
meeting at the Fisk school-house next
Sunday afternoon at p. m. 1t is hoped
there will be helpers from Evansville and
Barton Ldg. Christian workers from the
League and Endeavor societies will have
charge. These out services have been
very profitable and it is hoped that the
people in the neighborhood will all turn
out.
We venture the prediction that with
average sugar weather during the month
of April, an unusually large amount
of sugar will be made the coming spring.
The prophecy is based on the faetstha the
fall was wet, soaking the. ground and per-
hitting the fiber roots of the NAPLES to
i bsorb a large amount of water. The cold
weather during the winter has frozen and
locked up the sap in the roots and it will
be held there until the thawing weather of
spring, when it will flow upward through
,he tree to make its growth and its foliage.
This is not guarantee.
CARD.-We wish to express our sincere
hanks to the people of Barton, to the
of the M. E. church and Ladies'
Aid society for their kindness and SYM
oathy during the great sorrow through
which we are passing, The generous con-
ribution of flowers and the many express
'ions of respect and appreciation of our
lear departed, have helped us in this hour
If deep distress. We wish also to thank
