BARTON

Have you seer and read the Harley c..
Wheeler pamphlets and circulars on
his homestead plan? If you have not
you ought to. They are unique, out
extraordinary, something-new-kind.
The change to summer trains and
schedule takes place Monday, June 20.
Don't get left. Important changes
will be made but the exact time table
has not been published at this writing.
The village is building a plank walk
IN School street, connecting Main and
Church streets. The walk will be only
partly completed now but will be fin
ished clear through before fall. Nine
people out of ten wonder why this step
backward from concrete to plank walk?
The grand list of the town is COM
pleted and is S14, PAP. s5, practically the
same as last year. The number of
polls is S27, a very few less than the
number in 1907. Taking into con-
sideration the depression in times and
lack of work this would show a healthy
condition of Barton's population and
valuations.
1.-The Convict's Daughter" one of
the solid melodramatic successes of
last season, will be the attraction at
Seaver's hall tonight. The secret of
the success of 1.-The Convict's Daugh-
ter is that it touches the heart-strings
of it's auditors. 1t is also filed with
comedy Of the higher order and does
not depend upon buffoonery or vulgari-
ty to amuse the public.

probably the largest attended caucus
ever held in Barton there being over
400 voters present and fully 100 specta-
tors The meeting was called to order
by c.. A. Barrows and passed very
tremendously in spite of the fact that
great enthusiasm and interest was dis
