town should provide. The attendance at
the meeting will probably be large, as much |
interest is being shown at present.
The concert by Roney's Boys at Seaver's |
hall Wednesday evening, proved to be one
OF the most enjoyable entertainments that
the people of this vicinity have ever been
privileged to attend. Owing to the eb-
sence of one of the boys, who was Ill, the
program had to be changed somewhat, and
duets and trios So bstituted for the quar-
tettes. Notwithstanding this fact an en-
joyable program was rendered and every
number was heartily applauded. The
little fellows have remark ably sweet voices
which showed careful cultivation, and
many of their songs were enthusiastically
encored. The violin playing by Master
Tracy Holbrook showed thorough cultiva-
tion and exquisite Interpretation. The
flute solos by Master Tony Linden were a
most enjoyable feature of the evenings
entertainment. Mr.. Henry B. Roney,
their instructor, has every reason to be
proud of his youthful pupils.
We are informed that there is an under
standing among certain voters in this
village that unless they vote "yes" to-
morrow that liquor will be sold freely in
the village and town and that the NEW law
provides no way to stop it. This is an
error. II you vote "yes" then three
saloons can be opened in addition to the
drug stores which may be licensed. II you
vote 'no" then no licenses can be issued
except licenses which may be issued to
drug stores by petition signed bya GER
tain number of voters and and a majority
of the physicians, in which case liquor can
be sold only on a physicians prescription.
II you vote ''yes" you will get several sa-
looms. II you vote ''no' you will avoid
the saloons and the law provides for the
prosecution of any person who sells or fur
nishes liquor in town which Idoes not
grant licenses. Vote "no" Tomorrow II
you wish to prohibit the sale of liquor in
Barton.
The annual village meeting will be held
Tuesday, Mar. TO- An article in the warning
calls for an appropriation of 5000 to be
expended by the fire wardens in payiD 6
the members of the fire companies for the
time spent in practice. 1t has been found
impossible to get the people out to practice
without paying them for their time and at
the village is greatly in need of organized
companies it has been thought best to pay
| for the work done and this article has beer
made part of the warning to see II th'
people will vote the money for this pur
pose. We have a splendid water system
here and with we'll organized compaDie
an ordinary fire would be quickly ex
| tinguished. Several hundred feet of ney
hose has been purchased during the pas
year and the village now has 2200 feet ol
hand. Two new and expensive nozzl
holders have been purchased. We are wel
provided with short, and extension an
roof ladders, coats, hats, etc. The depart
ment is well fitted for good work and
practice meeting or ce month during tn
summer would give US companies whic
J would be able to do effective work when
ever required.
