Joshua N. Barton.

One OF Brush Creek Valleys
best citizens died suddenly on the
camp ground at Crystal Springs
last Sunday morning about 5
O'Clock, aged about 20 years.
For some time, Mr.. Barton has
relinquished farming, and his old
home just adjacent to the camp
ground has been occupied by one
of his sons, he and Mrs. Barton
occupying part of the house.
When camp began last week they
moved into tent on the grounds,
and he was enjoying the services
and in his usual health up to Sat
urday when he complained of not
feeling well. A doctor was call
ed, and after giving him some
medicine, left, saying that he
thought Mr.. Barton would be all
right in a short time. He awoke
Sunday morning, talked with his
wife, and seemed to be right
well. After Mrs. Barton had
been down stairs about her morn
ing work awhile, she told her
son-in-law to go up and give Mr..
Barton his medicine. When the
son-in-law reached Mr.. Barton's
bedside, he found him dead.
Funeral took place on the camp
ground Monday, and his remains
were Inferred at McKendree.
Mr.. Barton wss married to
Miss Sarah Hoop, sister of the
late George Hoop of Licking
Greek township.

Never Had u Shoe On.

No person on the South Mount
ain this season has attracted
more attention than Richard Reg
inald Bassett, son of Proprietor
Jesse V. Bassett, of the Hotel
Imperial. He is a little fellow
only 8 years and 8 months old,
but very bright and remarkably
sturdy. The distinguishing char
acteristic of the boy is that he
has never worn a shoe. His pa
rents are long time sufferers with
throat trouble, as is his older
brother. AT the birth of the
youngster the family physician
advised that his parents refrain
from protecting his feet, as he
showed evidence of having inher-
tied the family throat affliction.
The physicians advice was fol
lowed and the boys feet were
never covered with stocking or
shoe. With the beginning of last
winter the physician ordered that
the boy be allowed to run bare
foot on the streets, even in the
severest weather. The parents
did as they were advised, and the
boy has not only been free from
throat trouble but has gained in
physical strength and in general
robustness. He weighs within
10 pounds of his brother, who is
6 years and 3 months the elder.
Mr.. Bassett's home is in Roam
oke, Va.

engaged chiefly in educational
work as city and county superin,

Iowa. He is an active Republican

the winning candidates in the
senatorial deadlock in the Ne

Not Up TO Sample.

A physician, who has been
practicing in York for 46 years,
recently answered a matrimonial,
advertisement andsreceived in re
turn the picture of a handsome
st. Louis woman.
Arrangements were made for
her to come on, which she did
without writing If her coming.
The doctor was not home when
she arrived, but his daughter-in.
law, who resides next door, allow
ed her to put her luggage in the
window. When the Doctors son,
who is practicing attorney and
an ex-chairman of the Republican
county committee, arrived home
he persuaded the old woman, who
did not resemble the photograph
in the least, to return to st.
Louis, and as an inducement paid
her fare and pres ented her with
a small sum of money.
The doctor graduated from the
University of Maryland in 1855,
and has been widower for some
time. Feeling rather lonesome,
he concluded to become a bene-
dict again, but his recent expert
ence has put damper upon his
matrimonial desires.

id foods, subsisting entirely on

Catholic University of Washing
ton. Prof. Robinson has suffer
ed for some years from a severe

Disastrous Storms.

One of the most destructive
floods Bedford county has exper-
fenced for long time occurred
last Friday afternoon. The storm
center appears to have been at
Everett, at which place there
seemed to be cloudburst about
5 o'clock. The water attained a
depth of three feet in Main street
in about twenty minutes. Every
house on Water street was flood
ed. The loss to the tannery, the
planning mill, Touring mills and
stores near the stream known as
Bloody Run, amounts to thous-
ands of dollars. At Bedford
Springs Showers Run overfowed
it's banks and covered the lawn in
front of the hotel to the depth of
several inches. Several fields on
farms adjacent to Everett were
washed bare of every particle of
soil, and will be worthless for
farming purposes.
