BARTON CATHOLIC HISTORY.

The recent dedication and occupa-
ton of the Catholic church by
the Catholic denomination nat
urally calls for a short history of
the society in Barton. On account of
the records of the early Mission being
lost we are unable to obtain exact in
formation concerning the first years
of the existence of the society. 1t APP
pears that about the year 1854 Mis-
sion was organized in this village, and
from that time until the present Cath
Ollie meetings have been held here.
The first mass was held at Moses Val
ley's home, in tenement under the
Kimball store, in the year 81 or '52.
AT first, services were conducted in
private houses, and about once in four
weeks, or perhaps until 1858 longer
intervals elapsed between regular
services. But the building of the
railroad, which was completed to Bar
ton in the autumn of 1857 brought
several additional families who were
members of the church and strength
ened the society. Previous to the or
gsnization of the mission the few
Catholics who resided in this vicinity
attended church at Albany, or at
Stanstead, P. @ but when this mis-
zion was started it was more conven-
lent for the people of Glover and
WestTor and some adjoining towns
to attend here. Among the first
members we may mention were Peter
Paquette and his SONS Joseph, Prudie,
and Dustie, Charles Leclare, Moses
Valley, Antoine Valley, Moses Damon,
Belnay Damon, John Spring, Joseph
Brooks, and James Dilley, together
with their families. Meetings were
held at Charles Leclare's, Joseph
Paquett's, Moses Valleys, Antoine

ing occasionally to hold services
somewhere in the mission. The
church continued to grow, and the
need of cemetery was keenly felt, as
all who died had to be carried either
to Stanstesd or to Albany for burial.
BY reason of this, Oliver Valley and
his brother Joseph in 1878 bought and
donated to the church the cemetery
located on the road toward May Pond,
where many have since found last
resting place. In 1878, church hav-
ing been erected at Newport and
Father Michaud, now Bishop being
stationed at that place he with his as
sistant, Father Coathud, took charge
of the work here and Catholic meet
ings were held in the school house
hall. Later Fathers Kerlidou, Proul,
Yvince, and Clearmont officiated until
1898.
In the year 1875 the society
purchased the Congregational church
which stood near where the B. & NJ.
passer ger station now stands. Here
they worshipped for fourteen years
when in 1892 the church was moved
across the railroad and located on
land bought ofJames Cassidy just east
of Mr.. Cassidy's residence. 1t might
be well Just here to state that largely
through the efforts of James Cassidy
the land upon which ell the buildings
now owned by the Catholic denomina-
ton was secured. In 1894 the beaui-
ful residence of Melvin Elliott was
bought for parsonage by the society.
and two years later the store former

GOLSON BROTHERS
 EASILY CAPTURED
ARE CHARGED WITH MURDERlNe JESSE BRANTLEY AT PRATT vILLE-A LYNcHING THREAT FINED AND CROWD GATHERS.

Prattville, June 2s.-(special. )-James Golson and Dee Golson, brothers. who shot and killed Jesse Brantley last Sat urday morning and made good their es- cape at the time were captured yesterday. James Golson was captured at Maplesville in Chiffon county and the sheriff of this country received telegram that the pris- oner would be held awaiting instructions. Deputy Sheriff w. J. Bozeman went up to Maplesville yesterday morning and on boarding the train yesterday afternoon the first man he saw was Dee Golson, who had purchased ticket to Montgom- cry. The deputy immediately arrested Dee Golson and brought both the men to the Autauga jail last night
 James Golson appeared to be about 19 or 20 years old, and Dee appears to be II or IS. They are mere boys. They were to have had a preliminary hearing before Justices of the Peace J. J. L. Stewart and H. S. Doster this morning, but on account of the absence of several witnesses for both the state and the defendants the case was by agreement of counsel continued until next Tuesday.
 John Brantley, brother to the dead man, and his brother have removed from King ston to this place. There were rumors yesterday afternoon as soon as 1t was as- certained that the Golsons had been caught and were coming In on the after noon, train that the Brantleys and their friends were collecting to take the pris- | oners from the authorities and lynch them | last night. They were hunted mp and seen by the sheriff and they assured him that they had no intention of disturbing the | peaceable proceedings of the law, and off, Tered as a show of good faith to their words to permit the sheriff to lock them up till the train came in and the pris- oners were safely lodged in jail They were not locked up. A large crowd gath cred to meet the belated train. The pris- oners were carried to the county jail and safely lodged till their preliminary trial.
 So far nothing can be learned of the cause or the trouble. All persons concern ed refuse to talk of the matter. From some of the rumors there has been trou- Die brewing between the two families for several months, and the continuation fol- lowed on the heels of stinging rebuke gwen by John Brantley to a member of the other family last Friday.

EXTENSION CONSIDERED.
Southern Railway to Build Line From
 Stevenson to Chattanooga.

scottsboro, June s.-(special.)-It Is given out on good authority that the Southern railway Is again seriously con- sdering the building of the extension from Stevenson in this county to Chat tanooga, a distance of 3S miles. The traffic over the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway tracks. which the Southern uses, from Stevenson to Chat tanooga, is so heavy that 1t Is with dif- ficulty that trains of the two roads are operated between these points.
 The Southern has had several surveys made, and If it decides to build the ex- tension it Is probable that the survey providing for the paralleling of the tracks of the Nashville road from Stevenson to Chattanooga with a tunnel through Lookout mountain will be adopted.
