At recent meeting of the Barton tele-

| ~ O ACSCht AlCCt1bS VI LIE aSl1AI0AA
phone exchange members It was voted to
| instruct those In charge of the line to re-
build and remodel the present line and
such instruments as are not of modern
pattern and put the whole in first class
shape at such expense as seems necessary
| and assess the members at the next annual
meeting a sufficient amount to cover the
| expense. This is much needed improve
ment and it is hoped the authorities will
| do It at once
| Those voters who live about an equal
distance between the villages OF Barton
| and Barton Landing should hnd out
whether their name is on the Barton or
Barton Landing check list. Both villages
have a polling place this year ana you
are expected to vote in the village where
your name is on the list. And remember
to vote on September 4th. The town Oh
Barton wants to keep good her present
delegation in county and state convention
and gain if possible.
The large number of applications for
lodgings at the hotels for fair week mas
| more than filled them, and the fair assoc1-
tion wish all who have sleeping rooms TO
spare for that week would notify one OF
the two hotels. The prospects are that the
attendance will be the largest ever known,
judging from the applications for rooms
and advance tickets for the grand stand,
and it is hoped the people will avail them
selves of the opportunity to do their pock-
etbook and the fair association good turn.
Under the present system Barton
received from the state in 1905 S404.6O for
schools, more than 1t paid to the state, and
!! the state paid S195 90 to care for the towns
insane patients. Clement would Abolish
I this system. fn 1900 Senator Clement pre-
vented an increased tax on corporations
and fathered the last state tax ever levied
h in Vermont. This saved Mr.. Clements

: $1645 AZ. Vote for your towns interest
!. next week Tuesday.
