from the leading officers, ETC., and on his

illustrated lectures showing the imp ortant
features of the islands and people. Mr.

1t will be remembered that at the cleo
ton two years ago this town polled the
largest Republican vote of any town IN
the county, thereby giving us the largest
number of delegates to the State and Dis
| trict conventions of any town in Orleans
County. The number of delegates we are
to have at the conventions two years hence
will be decided by the number of votes
polled tomorrow (Tuesday) and every voter
should be at the polls. Having large del
egat1on will give our town more influence
in the conventions and as we are at present
the banner town of the county, we must
keep our reputation good. 1t only takes
short time for the people living outside the
villages to drive down and cast their ballots
and we hope they will all be present, also
our village people.
Mrs. E. w. Barron. in closing her cor
respondence for the Express and Stand
ard, says;'' We have tried to show that our
little village is enterprising, clean, and IN
every way desira BILE place in which to live.
We see no merit or smartness in belittling
the town in which one lives, or rediculing
the people therefore we have avoid ed such
mistakes. We are proud to belong to such
a village as Barton, which we believe to be
above the average in intelligence, morals,
and enterprise. Mrs. Barron has been an
efficient correspondent and the spirit she
has shown in regard to the village is the
right one We believe it is hard to find a
more enterprising village of its size, or
more desira BILE dwelling place among the
villages of the state and the citizens should
all be proud of the place and take pleasure
in doing. all possible to advance its pro-
gress.
