Division No. 2 of the Barton academy
gave an entertainment at the high school
room last Wed nesday evening. Tho pro-
gram consisted of reading, speaking and
music and was highly entertaining to those
present. The participants in these enter
tainments receive no training whatever,
but the different parts are executed in
very creditable manner.
The entertainment for the benefit of
Orient Chapter, No IL. o. E. s., next Fri
day evening promises to be worthy of pat
ronage. Mr.. A. H. Adams of Newport
comes highly recommended, and with
''stars" and their satellites for the rest of
the program bright evening is in pros
pect. Tickets will be sold this week at
your door. See program later.
The backsmiths in town are united in
the opinion that they should agree to
somewhat higher scale of prices for shoelng
etc., as the price of iron and steel is higher,
but they are not certain that a concerted
action can be reached the same as has been
done at Newport, Derby, Charleston and
other places in the county. All the black
smiths of Caledonia county are practically
united on high scale.
Andrew Walcott, having sold his Glover
property, has bought the Gertrude Skinner
block which he has rented for his grain
business since January and Contractor
WEIGH is finishing off a tenement overhead
for Mr. Walcott, who will move his family
here from Glover. Then the hustling
dealer will be able to supply his customers
with grain at night as well as day. He has
Just received four carloads of grain. AS
Mr.. Walcott intends putting in hydrau-
lie elevator. All these changes show that
his business is not at standstill.
Last Friday evening the boys gathered
at various points in the village to celebrate
| Halloween. 1t is need less to say that they
were successful, for the boys never fail in
such an undertaking and on the following
morning there was every indication that
several auction sales were to be held about
the village. However no harm was done
and those who participated enjoyed the
fun. While it was some work for the own
ers to gather their property in, they must
remember that they were boys once and
the older ones of that time probably had
to suffer more from the FRANKS of the
boys than does the present generation.
The plastering and plum bling are finishe
in Frank Jutras' new house, which is in
the hands of the capable contractors, M.
d. Scott g. Son. 1t is contracted to be
finished by February, but Mr.. Scott says
he is liable to finish it much earlier. The
house being 30x40 feet in size and two
stories high, is very conveniently arranged
for two tenements. The first floor COM
poses one tenement of seven rooms. On
the second floor there is a six-room tene-
ment, with three good chambers to be
finished off in he attic. The shed in the
rear for the upper tenement can be
reached from the bank and wood be de-
livered without carrying up stairs.
The little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
NJ. Porter, Mildred May, died yesterday
from accidental poisoning. While pa
log about the house in the forenoon
the little girl, who was but two and one
half years old, found some strychnine pill!
among some seeds with which she was
amusing herself. A little later the parents
noticed that the little one was sick an6
sent for a physician but the child dice
before the doctor reached there, living
only about thirty minutes after her condi-
ton was noticed. The funeral will b.
, held at the house tomorrow at O'Clock
, Mr.. and Mrs. Porter have the sympathy o
the entire community in their bereave
ment.
