The meeting of the Barton Telephone
exchange at F. w. Baldwin's Office Tues
day evening was adjourned to be called by
the secretary on order from the investigat-
ing committee who wished for little more
time in which to get an experienced tele-
phone man here to figure the exact cost of
putting the entire system in number one
shape, with cable through the principal
streets. 1t was advised by letters read by
the committee from supply houses that an
overhead cable be put in rather than a
buried cable and the census of opinion was
that such system should be installed and
such changes made in the instruments as
would perfect the system.
We desire to express our heartfelt graft

husband and father. We thank the Peer

flowers and other kindnesses rendered us
in our sorrow. May heaven reward you
all:
o, our darling, how we miss thee.
Miss thy sunshine and thy care;
And our home is dark without thee,
For we miss thee ev eryWhere.
Vacant is thy place among US,
And thy cheerful voice is hushed;
But we feel it wrong to murmur,
Though with grief our hearts are crushed.
For the Master called our dear one
Called the one His love had given,
AD6 though earth doth claim his body
His dear soul Is safe in heav en-.

At the meeting OF the Barton DEVELOPMENT
Association Wednesday evening two gran
| ite propositions were laid before the mem
bers. One was by q. L. O'CIair of this
town, an experienced granite man. He
had letters from dealers to whom he had
| sent samples of the stone, stating that it
was q. K. and that they could find mar
ket for it. He made proposition where
| by he would put in gang of men ii the
| association or village would build and
| equip shed and give him the use of it foi
| two years. The other and the most favor
| ble proposition was presented BY s.. e.
| Winslow for Mr.. Frank Emerson OF Hard
wick with whom he had had talk a few
days previous. His proposition was to pui
| in tWosgangs of men, in all about forty
for period of five years if the village OF
| association would build him q shed ane
give him the use OF it for five years, he te
equip the shed with machinery he nov
owns. This would mean a shed to cos
from $1,000 to $500. After the term of five
years he would rent the shed. The terms
OF this contract also included the purchas
ing of the stone at a stated price, which
will without doubt be the only stick, i
any stick comes, in final trade with Mr.
Emerson. He would use twenty y-fiv,
mean the installing of day current. A
this junction of the meeting the fire alarm
at the Pillsbury & Baldwin mills adjourned
the meeting in short order, but present in
dications are that a promising industr.
may be opened up If the stone can be OBJ
tanned at fair figure, and 1t remains witt
those who control the stone to say whethe
they will give the whole town an impetu
and have the praise of the village, o
whether they will put damper on tn
enterprise.
