The j. G. Turnbull Co. have added to
their creamery business the wholesale and
retail grain, flour and feed business, for
merly owned and carried on by Brown &
Skinner. Brown & Skinner will still own
an interest in the business, and Mr..
Skinner will be general manager OF the
grain, feed and -four department, while
Mr.. Brown will do lighter work than
handling grain in the future. Extensive
alterations will be made in the mill. A
dynamo will be installed and power con-
veyed to the creamery for doing the work
there, also power will be furnished to do
grinding after modern methods a. their
feed depot by the track. The cold storage
plant will also be located at the gristmill
This cold storage will meet demand OF
of the community which has been felt for
a long time, and will doubtless be well
patronized. We are fortunate to have
| men of means in the community who have
SO much enterprise and public spirit, who,
while bettering their own circumstances,
are at the same time benefting the public
and building up the village.
Barton Landing has become known
throughout Orleans county as a conven-
tion town, but never in the history OF the
village, SO the old timers tell us, has there
been a more successful convention than
that which occurred during the past week.
The weather for the first few days was
such as has heretofore characterized con-
vention week, but OH Thursday the condi-
tions were more favora BILE and large crowds
were in attendance. That the convention
was grand success is shown by the fact
that not dissenting voice is heard among
the many sounding praises. Rehearsals
were held through the earlier part OF the
week. The first public entertainment
was the home talent matinee on Wednes-
day afternoon, at which there was a large
attendance The program included songs
by the chorus, vocal solos by Miss Alice
|, Hutchinson of Lyndonviile, Miss Florence
Stur tevant of st. Johnsbury, MIR. Wilson
and Mr.. Hutchins of Lyndonville, Mr.
, Fred Wheeler of Barton, piano duets by
Prof. Hall and Miss Sadie Lothrop of Bar
J, ton Landing, songs by ladies' chorus OF
Barton Landing and readings by Mr.
Erwin A. Wiley of Barton Landing. The
program was carried out to perfection and
each participant seemed determined te
eclipse all previous efforts. The manner
in which they succeeded was manifest
by hearty applause and repeated encores
Any attempt to name the most popular
number on the program would but start
strife among the listeners. The granG
promenade and dance of Wednesday even
[. ing was largely attended and fine socia
. time was had. The artists concert OF
! Thursday afternoon brought out larg'

j St. Johnsbury. While the entire program
- WAS of fine order and was received Will
much favor, the work of the ladies' quar-
tet is being cited as one OF the mos
% pleasing features of the convention. Th
