We are in receipt of several copies OF the

Several references to the recent contest over
the prohibitory law in this state.
The Barton Academy baseball team
played the Hardwick Academy team at
Hardwick last Saturday and were defeated
by score of to IS. The Barton boys
have some good ball players and would
have put up q sitter game but for the rea-
son of their limited amount OF practice

The story, "Graustark," which has been
given in this paper, finishes in this issue.
This has proven one of the most popular
stories we have ever given. In our ne1t
issue we give another serial story, zine
Gentleman from Indiana" This has hao
a large sale and has been greatly enjoyed
by all classes of readers. 1t will prove fully
as interesting as the one just closed and we
trust that the readers of this paper will fol-
low it closely. Read the opening chapters
next week.
| Beresford Greatbead has trotted through
our town. 1t has been suggested that the
"globe trotter's" name should have been
Greatfeet, but although the physique OF
the celebrated man was exceptionally large
we did not think his feet were out of pro-
norton. The feat he is undertaking is un-
usually large. He lectured before the high
school Wednesday afternoon and in the
evening addressed a fair audience in the
schoolhouse ball. The account of his
varied adventures while tramping through
Europe, Asia, Russia, and Japan on a
wager of $50, 900 was very interesting.
