Mr.. and Mrs. John Kelly, with their
youngest son, Charley, from Horton, Kan
sas, are visiting old friends In Barnard.
Johns appearance indicates( what is true)
that be II a very successful western farm
er and his many friends In Barnard are
sincere in their congratulations. Less
than forty years ago Mr.. Kelly was
a common farm hand, working for $40 or
s12 per month, and it is the one sad
thought OF this visit that his old employ
ers have left for the shining shore. and
men who were In active business when
he left town are now tottering on the
brink OF departure, only awaiting till the
5 shadows are little longer grown" before
they take the outgoing train. And men
who were children thirty years ago are
now doing the business OF the day. After
ALL the same old hills, brooks and pond
are here, with little or no change, and Mr..
Kelly enjoys tramps through the paths OF
bis childhood.
Lem and George wheelock have been
some of the roads with one pair
Of oxen. pillow and scraper in the old fash
Toned way, making waterbars on the hills
and bitches to keep the water from run
ming in the road. What they have done
Is worth more dollars to the town than
" hat the whole gang with a road machine
did in the spring. A former resident of
who has been away thirty years
says that almost the first change he no.
iced was how narrow the roads are. Sure
enough, they have been made narrow by
The way OF working the road machine, so
hat il makes It uncomfortable to meet
other teams and keep within the shout
iers. II the next legislature would upset
the present highway law and return to the
Did way OF repairing roads by highway
