''B 4autiful Barton" is a more pre-
tentious book of so pages dedicated
''to the memory of Col. William Bar
ton, Hon, Ira Allen, Hon. Daniel
Owen and the redoubtable father of
our navy, John Paul Jones, all of
whom were the original proprietors
and charter parties for the town of
Barton, VT" Printed in rich brown
ink, the handsome brochure con-
tains numerous lake and brook scenes,
| as well as pictures of the homes,
churches and other institutions of
this village. The cover has colored
view of Willoughby Lake, "the Lu
cerne of America" while inside are
other pictures of this fart famed lake.
The explanatory text is intended to
attract the summer visitor as well
as the settler, and the views of
| the sports and fishing on Crystal Lake
give one what Mark Twain has SO
aptly termed "the spring fever
| These booklets have been widely Cir
| culated throughout the United States
and have already attracted visitors
and settlers TO Barton.

town can do if they have the "get
together" spirit and loyalty to the

asso citation. The secret of the vii
lage's growth and prosperity is truly
stated in the acknowledgements IN
Barton is loyal to the interests of the
town. When the other towns aoan-
don their petty factional fight ng, their
alleged grievances, and their Jealous
les they can do what Barton has done
and join her in developing not only
their own community but inaugural
ing the coming of ''the new Yer
mont"
