Great crops of potatoes are pelng
harvested in Barnard. 1t is the first time
in my remembrance that ours were aug
in August. A fine lot, not one snecteu
with rot and they have every appearance
OF keeping we'll. No doubt IT'S the pest
policy to dig early for they are tully ripe
and II il not halt the work. Oats heaVy
and good are well in and thresheIs are
busy Great crops of corn, should thlnk
more than an average yield. Sllos are pe
ing filed, requiring all the help IN toWh.
Much complaint from other towns s s,s
the drouth, but Barnard mas not suhereu
to any great extent.

BARNARD's ARMY OFFICER.
Lieut.. Ed A. Shuttleworth OF the regn-

He is a graduate OF Norwich University

severe competitive examination, IN which
Ed acquitted himself in fine form. he has
since been promoted to first lieutenant
and next year will be captain, unless some
unforeseen event comes to pass. Lieut..
Shuttleworth is Barnard born boy and
bred in the wilds OF Chatuaguay, but in
herited good blue blood which has stimu-
lated him from poor youth TO his present
success. He has been stationed at dlner-
ent forts in the West until this war with
Spain w hen he was ordered to Porto Rico,
where he has been for the last year. de
speaks very highly of the climate and fu-
ture prospects of this island and thinks
Il great acquisition TO our country .Lieut
Shuttleworth married granddaughter OF
DIR. Bradford OF Mortified, who has &C
companied him in all his travels and du-
ties. They are now spending portion OF
the furlough in Barnard, visiting scenes
OF early boyhood and friends OF his dis
trict school days. They will soon return
to Porto Rico, but we hope tn meet him
next year as Capt. Shuttleworth.
THE CADY FARM.
On the stage road leading from Barnard
to Woodstock, one and one-half miles
from Barnard village, is a turn to the
right, and going on this road a short hall
mile we come to one of the most produc-
tive farms in town.
This place is owned and occupied by
Chester Z. Cady, a young and progressive
farmer. Mr.. Cady was the Democratic
candidate for town representative la
1898 and drew more than the strength oil
his party but lacked some votes OF an
election.
This land was bought in rough state
more than seventy years ago by the late
Captain Alvan Wood and by him worked
up to as fine farm as there is in the
town OF Barnard.
Mr.. Wood was a good farmer and very
prominent man both in town and church
affairs, and on the products OF this land
he raised a large family, laying bg sur
plus TO be divided at his death, which oc.
CURED in 1877. Fifty years he owned anc
occupied this farm, making a name which
is still held in bright remembrance by the
towns people. His surviving children
are Dr. Norman p. Wood, practicinl
physician in Mortified, Mass, Henry A.
present road commissioner of Barnard
Herbert A., farmer in the West, Mrs
Rosie r., widow of the late Paul d. Dean
