The school at Barton academy will open
next Monday. Several new teachers have
been engaged for the year and they come
very we'll recommended. A large number
of students will be present from out OF
town and the enrolment promises to be
the largest in the history of the school.
This academy affords the young men and
women of Orleans county an opportunity
to secure liberal education at very small
expense. Those who desire can find places
to work in payment for their board and as
the school fits for college they can prepare
for college here at much less expense than
at the average school. Special attention is
given those preparing to teach so that the
graduates of this school are in good de-
mand as teachers. Boys and girls who are
considering going away to school should
write the principal, H. J. Stannard, for a
catalogue end for information regarding
this school.
Every voter in Barton should be present
at the polls tomorrow and vote the state
as well as the town ticket, Our delega-
tion to the state and county conventions
for the next two years is based on the vote
| for governor tomorrow. Four years ago
we got out a very large vote and at that
time we led the county in the delegates to
the conventions, Barton having six dele
gates to the state convention while New
port and Derby had but five each, and the
other towns still smaller delegations. Two
years ago our vote was smaller and our
delegation dropped to five members with
the same number for Newport and Derby.
These two towns are making a special
effort to get large vote this year and un-
less Barton does the same she Will drop to
the rear. We have over 700 voters IN
town and if every one voted we would
have eight delegates to the state conven-
tion and there would then be but few
towns in the state which would lead US.
Every man should take sufficient interest
and pride in his town to come out tomor-
row and cast his vote. In addition to this
the voters must remember that a vote for
Bell and Stearns tomorrow means vote
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Let us give
large republican vote in Barton and in
crease our delegations to the conventions
and help to give encouragement to Yer
monters in other states who are working
hard for Roosevelt and Fairbanks and
looking anxiousIy toward their native state
| to give the national ticket a hearty en-
dorsement at this time.
