Mrs Z. E. Coburn's great uncle, Newton

Spencer City, Iowa, called on her one day
last week and asked to see her father, who
has been dead some time. MIR. Gallup has

Two men were arrested at Newport last
Monday night on suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the Sheffield robbery. A third,
who is said to have answered to the de-
scription Of one of the men seen in the
freight car here, escaped. G. E. Hamblet
went to Newport Tuesday morning to see
If he could identify either OF the men.
Failing in this, and as the men apparently
told straight story, they were released.
Geo. n. Tenney died last Tuesday night
of consumption. Mr.. Tenney had been
sick for some time and spent last winter in
California hoping to improve his health.
After his return home he failed gradually
until the end. During the time he lived
in Barton he made many friends. Much
sympathy Is felt for the bereaved family.
Mrs. Tenney and family wish to thank the
neighOors and friends for the assistance
rendered them end for the many kindly
acts which helped to make their burden
| lighter.
The people in this section of the state
have never had better time to purchase
! fur coats than the present. While in Geo.
H. Davis store recently we inspected his
| lire of coats and venture to say that he
has by far the largest line of coats there is
! IN the state. They range in price from $3.50
| down. j. F. Bat;heljer, our other clothier,
also has a very large line and it will pay
! people to come here from distance to
! purchase their coats. Ladies' coats are in
abundance and here may be found just
| what is wanted.
| About thirty of the members and friends
of the Woman's Literary Club were pleas
antly entertained at the home of Mrs.
| Cutting last Wednss lay evening. At a
business session the club voted to extend
| the limit of membership to fifty. Miss
! Colburne gave an interesting sketch OF the
| White Mountains, and poem from Whit
| tier was read by Miss Webster, after which
! the company had the pleasure of hearing
Rev. A. s. Bole of Coventry describe his
visit through Yellowstone Park. This
lecture by Mr.. Bole was highly appreciated
and all present extend their thanks. Light
refreshments were served by the hostess.
On another page of this paper there is an
advertisement of the Montpelier Seminary
/ to which we wish to call the attention of
our readers. This is an excellent school
aud the attendance at the present time is
the largest it has been for many years. The
number of instructors has been increased
and the school affords an opportunity fol-
young people to get an education at 9
small expense Montpelier Seminary ranks
as one of the best schools of the kind in
the state and graduates OF the high schools
find it 20 their advantage to take year OIL
two at this school before entering college
A stranger enga ged board with Mrs. r
E. Bailey last Thursday stating that hc

noise about the house at any time of nigh
as he should be out late. Mrs. Bailey i'm
mediately notified Officers Parker anC
Ham Diet and they proceeded to keep al
eye on the detective" They followed hin
to various points over the village and OF
Friday thought it best to interview him
Accordingly they notified that they wanted
to see him for a time. He accompanied
them without trouble to a point wher
they could engage in conversation withou
interruption. When asked what he wa
doing he stated that he was there for hi
health He soon lead the conversation t.
"Jack- the Slugger," with whose work b
seemed very familiar and over whom b

1 denly decided that it would be better 70
l his health to leave town and &C cordingl
t told the officers that he intended to G

q the same at the bank unless perchance the
have an account at this Office in whic
case it will be proper to leave it here.
