Barnard had PAGERS a hundred years
ago, according to records made at that
time, One advertises that his horse trots |
altogether, another that he trots SO ne |
and PAGES some. One advertising today |
would say he trots some and PAGES good
deal. How popular PAGERS have grown!
A young colt that PAGES smooth and easy |
with fast clip will bring large price
and quick sale. Those that have horses
to sell two or three years hence will reap /
a reward for the raising.
On Monday OF last week occurred
lively runaway in the yard OF g. e. Will
son. As Scott Ryder of Bethel sat in bis
carriage talking the launch, Mary e,
came putting into the harbor and the
the carriage and its occupant and drag
ging the former in and out among the
trees at tremendous pace until finally 1t
freed itself and made an attempt to reach
the road by breaking through picKet
fence. 1t then dashed down the street
paying no attention to the shouts OF the
bystanders but was finally stopped by
Pearl Chamberlin, who was loading lum.
Der below the mill. Fortuna ely no one
was injured and, though the carriage was
somewhat demolished, no serious damage
was done.
The check list Of voters in Barnard is
hung up for inspection and will be re-
vissd by the civil authority Saturday,
Aug 20, and on the same day the Republic
can tOWu committees uhNt chlltu u CAUCUS
to put in nomination candidate for rep
resentative to the general assembly. We
understand that quite number of enthu-
siasts are willing TO go, provided the town
shall so decide, but as only one can, five
out of the six will be disappointed. A
rumor is elso in circulation that the Dem
ocrats will hold no caucus but we are in
clined to think they are not quite ready
to swallow any such claptrap theory
as high license and will hold their party
organization intact even IL in minority.
Probably an attempt will be made in the
legislature to repeal the scent highway
tax as 1t is pretty generally understood
that the sum raised under this act has not
been expended as the law points out. We
hope Barnard will send a representative
instructed tolvote to retain this act and
make it compulsory to expend the amount
as directed, for we can i'll afford to lose
this sum which the state pays in support
of our highways.
