An Ohio Blaze.

From the st. Paris Ohio Era
Dispatch, we get the following
account Of q fire which occurred
in ST. Paris, Ohio on the 30th ult.
The Mr.. Kline is Elijah, former
ly of Belfast township, but now a
successful business man in the
Buckeye State.
"Mr. Kline has two poultry
packing houses, here, one on the
south side and one on the north
side OF the railroad. The older
one on the north side has been
used this winter for drying feath-
ers, and this is the building that
was on fire. Just how the fires
started is not known. When the
fire department reached the place
the roof and the whole interior
was in flames, therefore there
was not much chance for saving
the building.
"The main building across the
railroad was also in grave danger
of destruction, but the firemen
went heroically to work and it
was saved. At one time the heat
became so intense that snow had
to be thrown on the men who
were directing the nozzel between
the two buildings. This was a
comical sight, but too serious to be
laughed at. The boys loked like
they were snow-balling one an
other.
"Most all of the furniture, pa.
pers, books, etc. in the small Office
just north of the burned building
were saved. This office was
pulled out piece at time there
by saving the adjoining buildings.
The featherdrying house was a
two-story frame and was totally
destroyed, together with its con
tents. The loss will reach $1,000
and was partly covered by insur
ance."

Death OF Philip Barton.

Philip, the last mem ber of a
large family of the Bartons of
generation ago, died suddenly on
the 26th ult. at the home of a
neighbor in Bedford county,
where he had stopped for a few
minutes friendly call.
From the History of Bedford
County, says the Rays Hill cor
respondent of the Everett Repub-
lican, we get the following facts;
Among the early settlers of
what is now Fulton county, was
Elijah Barton, grandfather of
Philip Barton). He was native
of New Jersey, from which state
he came to Fulton county, where
he purchased a large tract of land
and on which some of his descend
ants now reside. He was the
father of six children. George
Barton Gather of Philip Barton)
was born in Fulton county, and
died about 1926. He married
Catharine Morgart. She was
born in Bedford county. By this
union there were eleven children,
as follows:-John, David, Morgan,
Mary Ann, Peter M. Eliza, Phil
ip, Balser, George, and two who
died in infancy.
Philip Barton was the last
member of this large family. He
was born October 26, 1920, and
was aged so years and three
months. He was married on Feb
ruary Z, 1865, to Mary Greenland
of Fulton county. They lived in
that county until September, 1886,
when he purchased and moved to
the farm where he has lived since
then. Mr.. Barton was honest,
upright and Industrious. In
business his word was never
questioned. He was a kind and
obliging neighbor and will be
greatly missed in the community
in which he lived. His friends
have the heartfelt sympathy of all
to whom he was known.

Fort Littleton Lodge No. 1884, l.
O. O. T.. the oldest and wealthiest
organization of Odd Fellows in
the county, sent invitations to all
the lodges in the county to be-
their guests on Friday evening of
last week; and, taking it for grant
that the brethren would know a
good thing when they heard of it,
turned Landlord Barnett loose to
get up the supper. That was
enough. Mr.. Barnet's house al
ready has an enviable reputation
for the inviting bill of fare one
strikes on ordinary occasions;but
last Friday evening he just eclips-
ed himself, and every one that
did not attend would feel hungry
the balance of his days, if he
knew just what he missed.
At $3.50 o'clock, the bell at the
M. E. church gave the signal that
soon brought together most of
the members of Fort Littleton
lodge, their families, the visiting
brethren, and the general public
of the village.
Hon. S. L. Buckley, made an
excellent address of welcome
which was responded to by DR..
A. d. Dalbey, of McConnellsburg
Lodge. The Doctor is astluent
speaker, and represented the Wis
itors most creditably.
Rev. Geo. w. McIlnay, of Burnt
Cabins, conducted the devotional
part of the exercises, and. Mr..
Frank Bare who is as full of music
as a topper on circus day, had
charge of the musical part of the
entertainment, and that part OF
the program was very enjoyable
indeed.
After all the oddfellows and
their wives and friends had been
feasted, there was, owing to the
absence of those who now feel
like kicking themselves, muchleft;
and following an example given in
very good book, they went out
into the highways and byways
and compelled them to come in.
(They didn't have to hurt any
body.)
McConnellsburg, Wells Valley,
and Harrisonville Lodges were
represented among the visitors.
In addition to the above, there
were other short addresses made
. during the evening.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. d. Berkstres-

friends of this place one night
last week. After a number of
plays had been iudulged in the
crowd was taken to the dining
room where awaited table laden
with good things and toothsome.
Well, 1 guess. 1t would have
tempted the most delicate appe-
tite. After each one did justice
to the feast, the crowd resumed
their amusements and were very
sorry when the time for depart
ure came. May the jolly host
and hostess see many more years
of prosperity, The attendants
from New Grenada were Martha
Mills, Mae Cunningham, Maude
McClain, Alice Grissinger, Sam
uel Alloway, Arthur Cunningham,
John Mills and j. A. McDonough.
