| Mr. and Mrs Chas. Fl. Jones returned
last Friday from two weeks stay at the
| Isle of Shoals and Saratoga Springs. From
the reviewing stand they saw the parade
| of the Grand Army, in pouring rain. 1t
was stated that there were nine deaths as
result. Mr.. Jones says that during this trip
| through New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
| New York and Western Vermont they
found no village of a similar size with the
| evidences of enterprise and growth seen in
| the villages of Barton and Barton Landin e.
E. R. Baraw has his goods moved into
block. He occupies the south and west
rooms, giving him plenty OF room for his
| optical, jewelry and barber business. The
north room fronting the street will be
occupied by w. E. Sawyer for his job
| printing business. The job printing busi-
| ness esta blished last December has in
| creased to such an extent that Dir.
| Sawyer has decided to close out his gro
| cery business and give his entire attention
| TO the printing business. This gives him
a fine location and with added facilities
| should bring an increased business. He
| will move this week to his new quarters.
The all day meeting held at the Meth
| odist church Friday was most profitable
| and interesting. The topics discussed
were as follows: "The Midweek Prayer
| Meeting Revival Agency" J. H. Whee
lock, Coventry; "The Supreme Opportu-
nifty of the Church" Miss Merry Knapp,
Irasburg; "The Highway and Hedges"
Rev. Geo. Mcdonald, Albany; ga Con-
| quertng Faith" Rev. H. E. Howard,
Evansville; ''Phe Preacher for the Tinles,'
Mrs R j.. Christie. Newport; SIS the
Country Church Spent Force?" Rev. E.
| E. Wells, Irss burg; ''The Church q Field
or Force-Which?' Rev. w. 3. Duke
shire, Barton; "Positive Doctrines" Rev.
r. j. Christie, New port. Ali these friends
were present and filed positions assigned
in most satisfactory manner. They are
conscientious workers who came together
not for entertainment solely but for an
inspiration that would help them in their
work. Several Iaymen from different
towns were present, ana the evening meet
ing especially was well attended notwith-
standing the other entertainments in the
village.
The entertainments given by PresceIle
and Mrs. Edna May Magoon, hypnotists,
Thursday and Friday evenings were well
attended and were successful entertain=
ments from the scientific as well as the
amusement standpoint. Prescelle said in
his talk before the mind reading and hyp-
motto acts that no man had q right to say
that ther- was nothing in bypnotism be-
cause he did not understand il. When
the greatest scientists of the ege believe
and teach it, when medical schools are
teaching it, when nurses are taught the
+ art, man who has not given it though and
study is Ieboring under difficulties when
he says there is nothing Of it and tries
, to convince others that hypnotism is a
fake. There are fakes in elI things but
that does not prove that all things are
fakes. In the mind reading tests no, one
could stand unconvinced that there was
true transmission of thought and the hyp-
motto performances were equally convinc-
r ing. The one-ring circus by PrescelIe and
the ballroom scene by Mrs. Msgoon we're
= the principal features Of the entertainment.
