Members of the Barton union wrote
essays that were read at the county meet
ing and the Barton union took the banner
for putting the largest amount of temper
ance literature into circulation.
pretty wedding took place at st. PauPs
church Tuesday, May 21, at 9 a. M, when
Miss Emily Esther France of Irasburg and
Mr.. r. Peter Lacroix of Island Pond were
uuited in marriage by Rev. ]. E. Leblanc.
Miss France was attended by her father
and the marriage ceremony took place
within the sanctuary railing. The bride
was gowned in white silk and carried
white carnations. Mrs. Lacroix was for
many years organist in the Catholic church
here and at East Albany also and her many
friends extend best wishes.
a special meeting of the Barton Tele-
phone Exchange company is called for
| Tuesday evening, June 4, at 7:30 O'Clock at
| the schoolhouse, to see what action will be
taken in regard to the reconstruction of its
| lines and telephones. The time has come
not forget the time and place of this meet
ing. Let every person owning a phone on
| this line be present. This means business.
and no one can afford to neglect to be pres
ent at the meeting. The placing of more
electric light wires on the poles and the in
stalling Of day system means that there
must be something done. This is the legal
notice of the meeting, called in accordance
with the by laws of the association. Don't
forget it. j. A. PEARSON, Sec.
Edgar Carrick and several stone cutters
are here and work is progressing satisfac-
torily on the schoolhouse. The columns
and pilasters are being cut at Quincy, Mass,
out OF Quincy granite. The arch to the
front entrance is being cut at st. Johns
bury, the window stools and base course
are being cut of native stone which works
we'll. It is expected that in two weeks the
foundation, which is being laid by Valley
Brothers, will be ready for the brick work.
The wall is without doubt the most sub
stantial wall ever laid in Barton and Is a
credit to all concerned. If the building is
as thoroughly built as the wall, as Mr..
Drew says it will be, the building will be
model of durability. Mr.. Carrick has
leased the John Barnard quarry for year
with the privilege OF bnying.
The Three Villages-Rock Island, Stan
stead, and Derby L1ne-have organized q
baseball association, raised considerable
money, and, the management report, al
ready contracted for players to make 9
very strong team, to be called the From
!. .ttsIs. Our northern neighbors evidently
do not intend that Barton shall get away
with their series this year; but then, they
missed their intention last year. Lyndon
vile will stick to its home talent team that
gave so good an account Of themselves al
Barton fair last September. Hardwick
has not been heard from, but may be relied
upon to put its usually winning team il
the field. West Burke is reported in base
ball in earnest this year, under the abls
direction of DR.. Ell. A. Suitor, with funds
subscribed to insure bringing together
good aggregation of ball players. So it be
gins to look as if Barton's work were cut
out it its supremacy in the real thing of al
field sports is to be maintained. In th
meantime Barton opens the real contest o
the season with a double header agains
! Lyndonville Thursday, May 80, the morn
ing game at 10 O'Clock at Roaring Brool
Park, Barton, and the afternoon game a
LyndonviIle. Heath and Lewis are to b
home from Goddard to play in thes
games, and Barton will have in the field
stronger team than has represented tn
J town in any opening game for severe
}, years.
