The Glover band gave an open air con-
cert at Barton last Wednesday evening,
assisted by the small boys of the town,
who circled about with wild whoops varied
| with numerous whacks on the iron railing
surrounding the park. If that is the usual
custom during band concerts, it is hardly
to be wondered at that the Barton band
didn't feel like starting up this season.
What came near being a serious accident
occurred last Wednesday evening as Myra
Carpenter was driving home from Green's
boro. When within about a mile from
home the king bolt broke, and she was
thrown out. This frightened the horse
which ran, dragging her some distance,
but with rare presence of mind she held on
to the reins and although badly bruised,
escaped without serious injury.
Mr.. Will Phillips of Boston, who has
been ill all summer at the home of his
sister, Mrs. Annette Randall, died early
Thursday morning. He was an only son
of the late Hiram and Lucy Ann Cook
Phillips, old-tim residents of Glover.
When quite young he went to Boston,
Mass, where the greater part of his life has
been spent, following the natural inclina
tion of his talents artist, his speciality
being pOrtraiture. Dec. IA, 1892, he was
united in marriage to Miss Fannie Stratton
of Boston and their home was at Jamaica
Plain. Soon after this event, failing health
compelled him to abandon his profession
and for the last six years. he has been a
confirmed invalid. About three months
into the country, added to his intense
desire to die in his native town, he came
to the home of his sister, Mrs. A. M. Ran
dali, where his last days were made as COM
fortab BILE and easy as the nature of his dis
ease would permit. His wife was his con-
slant attendant the last six weeks of his
illness. The funeral was held at the home
of his sister on Friday p. M, Rev. George
Mcdonald offering a terse and appropriate
service in accordance with the previously
and often expressed wish of the deceased. /
He leaves a wife and two sisters, Mrs. Ran
dali and Mrs. Andrew &. Atherton of Du-
buque, Iowa. His friends and relatives
have many cherished mementoes of his
skill which will ever keep his memory fresh.
