turned colonial granite pillars at the
entrance are in. They are white, or
very light Barre, granite, and from the
highway look like marble. A stone,
one foot thick, 13 ft.4 in. long and TT.
7 in. broad with the inscription "Bar-
ton Academy and Graded School," is
to be placed just above the front en-
trance. The worR on the house is
progressing quite rapidly at present,
and the white brick and light granite |

The benefits Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings given by Prescelle and
Mrs. Edna May Magoon to our base
ball team were bowling success. The
bows netted a handsome profit for
which the organization is truly CRATE
,, full. Prescelle has on three engage
ments played to some the of largest
| crowds ever in Seaver's opera
house and has given general satlsfac-
! ton, he is withou: doubt the greatest
drawing card in the history of the
house. Barton may we'll be proud Of
him as an entertainer and citizen.
Prescelle and Mrs. Magoon were re-
ceived with rounds of applause. Eacn
was presented with beautiful bou-
ouet of fioweas by the ball team. Mrs.
Magoon agreeably surprised the large
audiences that hardly expected to see
the wonderful exhibition of hypno-
tism which she gave. Mrs. Magoon is
finished performer with rare per-
sonality that is sure to please, We
predict brilliant future for her in
her chosen field. Prescelle'5 mental
telepathy kept the audience in breath
less silence. The tests were mysitfy-
ing and pleasing. The hypnotic dem
l opstrations created roars of laughter
and fun of the funniest kind. In al
it was more than satisfactory. Mad
am Brock furnished music for the en-
tertainment and dance; about Il
, couples remained each night after the
a show. Mr.. McCauley of Newpor
kindly furnished new McPhail plano
from Bailey's booth exhibit on the
. fair ground.
