A Great Artists Generous Act.

We wish to call our readers atten-

Verne, the world renowned pianist
who has been spending the summer
months quietly among our beautiful
Vermont hills, storing up energy to
meet the great demands that will be
made upon her during the next season.
Miss Verne. hearing that the Glover
band wished to have concert for the
purpose of raising funds for the support
of the band, very generously volun-
teered to give piano recital, the
whole of the proceeds to be used
towards establishing a permanent
band in this beautiful village among
the green hills of Vermont. To
those who have not been fortunate
enough to have heard Adela Verne
play we may briefly state that she is
acknowledged to be one of the great

BARTON FAKES .PENNANT.
Barton Takes Baseball Championship of
= Vermont. Has Met Worthy Oppo-
nents. Other Baseball Notes.

Barton won the pennant Friday. It
was won fairly and after playing all
the strong teams in the state. Barton
earned it however. every score, and
hardly a game was walk-over. Bar
ton Landing played us to standstill
and it's no dishonor to lose such a
series as they have played. Wood
stock gave us another rub also but no
one protested the raising of the pen
nant after the game Friday. And that
game-it was more than weak heart
ed person could stand with safety. 1t
ran II innings neck and neck, then by
punching hits Barton won. Webster
made the winning hit that brought
Heath home (both home grown. and
purely local men), that won the Sc
ries, the pennant and the everlasting
good hand of fellowship of Barton
baseball enthusiasts. Following is
the score:

PrescelIe's Shows.

Prescelle gave two of his unequalled
hypnotic shows last week for the ben
eft of the baseball team. The result
was tidy little sum for the treasury.
The hall was packed both nights.
Prescelle spoke both evenings of his
love for Barton and it's people, and
said the confidence reposed in him by
them was source of great strength
to him. His shows were par excel
lence as usual and Mrs. Magoon Is
parts were well done. The demon
strations of telepathy and hypnotism
were not only amusing but educative
and convincing. Hypnotic skeptics
are growing fewer, especially in Bar.

greatest hypnotist. Thursday even
ing Manager Pillsbury presented Pre-
scelle and Mrs. Magoon with slight
tokens of appreciation and support
Prescelle spoke feelingly of the gift
and said he would treasure them fol
their memory rather than their in
trinsic worth. The vaudeville par
of the Prescelle company was new t.
Barton but was exceedingly fine ant
received much applause.

Barn, Hay and Tools Burn.

The farm buildings on the place
known as the Eastman place near
Greensboro Bend, owned by W. b.
Richards and occupied by Chauncey
Massey, were burned to the ground
Thursday afternoon. Mr.. Massey s
people were all away from home that
day. The fire was first discovered by
the neighbors when the flames burst
through the roof of the barn. Some
farming tools and 25 tons of hay were
burned in the barn. Most OF the con-
tents of the house were saved. The
El less is estimated at $1,000. The cause
of the fire is unknown.

FORECLOSURE MAKES STIR
New Catholic Church at Newport Is in a
Bad Way Financially. Barton Bank
Is Urgent.

1t is understood that the Barton Saw
ings bank has foreclosed its first mort
gage on the new Catholic church and
stone house erected by Rev. A. P.
Clermont in Newport and the report
ed action has caused a great deal of
excitement among the parish members
and other creditors of Father Cler-
mont. The bank holds mortgage for
$1S, 600 and some interest, and there is
about $1,000 in second mortgages on
the church and house and about $50, 900
IN unsecured debts, held largely by
members of the parish and business
men of Newport. A considerable por.
tion Of the debt is held by people who
will be very much embarrassed if it is
not paid. FIR. Clermont, who built the
church. has spent three years trying
to get the bishops consent that it be
opened for services. He refuses to
speak for publication, but inquiry dis
closes the following facts: The unpaid
debt on the church and house is be-
tween $50, 900 and 100000. Some time
late in 1907, the bishops attorney ad-
vised FIR. Clermont that if he could re-
duce the debt to about $4,000, the
matter of opening the church would be
considered. The committee of the
church, including FIR. Clermont, Sc
cured pledges to little over $4,000 on
condition that the church be opened
tor services, and the proposition was
made by the Sisters of the Sacred
Heart to purchase the old church and
house for $4,000. This would leave a
debt of between $4,000 and S39, 900
and some interest. A friend offered to
donate $1,000 if it could be arranged
satisfactorily to the bishop and the
church opened. The proposition made
looking toward settlement was re-
fused, but the diocese voted to offer
$34, 600 for all the property that FIR.
Clermont owns, with the condition that
he resign. If the bishop and diocese
make no further move and the fore
closure becomes absolute, the unse-
cured creditors to the amount of $50, 600
will have an absolute loss. A large
amount of the debt is held by members
of the parish, some of whom put up
practically all they had, expecting
that when the church was opened they
would get their money back. Some
of the members claim that the last
time the bishop was at Newport he
told few that he gave FIR. Clermont
authority to build the church and asked
the people to assist to the extent of
their ability. Many Of the business
men creditors insist that the bishop and
diocese are liable and rather than lose
all they will contest the matter in court.

Talks With Subscribers
October l is the limit

Still some people think the publisher
is talking" for his own benefit when
he says the government has made it
necessary for us to go onto the ad-
vance system. People need not
believe the publisher unless they want
to. they can write to postal headquar-
ters at Washington and find out for
themselves, or they may call at this
office and read our instructions from
A. L. Lawshee, third assistant post
master general, or they may go to any
postmaster where a publication is
mailed at second class rates and find
out the truth.
The Express and Standard said in its
last issue: "This is the last month
given to delinquent subscribers OF the
Express and Standard to settle thei,
accounts.
We have often thought of trying Mr..
Hildreth's plan of printing few names
of our delinquents where they woulC
be seen in the paper. It's an awfu
temptation and may some day over
come US.

Fair Notes.
Did you see the canary birds?

Did you see the canary birds?
Governor-elect Prouty was a visitor
at the fair on Thursday.
Phillips taxidermy exhibit excited
the usual amount of praise.
A. R. Cowles had large exhibit of
pianos and Free sewing machines.
There were more hacks running to
and from the trains and village than
ever before.
F. S. Whitcher had large exhibit of
farm implements and D. l. Grapes an
exhibit of gasoline engines.
Did you ever see a balloonist who
would fill balloon and make an as
cension as quickly as Prof. Flower?
E. D. Harpin was the starter this
year. L. w. Morris, H. E. Channell
and c. E. Hamblet timers and judges.
The cement block exhibits were
interesting and instructive. Concrete
promises to be the future building
material.
Probably the largest out of town
exhibit was that of True & Blanchard
of Newport, who displayed sugar
utensils of all kinds
John Keir and Mr. Chase of Crafts
bury both had exhibits of sugar max
ing utensils on the grounds. The
Lightning evaporator was also there.
Not mishap or an accident occurred
during the whole four days. A
record that shows care on the part of
the management and all that have to
do with the fair.
Did you notice in the ladies' driving
exhibit Gladys Cameron, the Is year
old daughter of William Cameron of
Glover, who drove a fine exhibit and
won second prize?
Honey bees were so numerous about
the candy booth of Aunt Abby the
last two days that all the sweets had
to be kept covered. Bees know good
thing when they see it.
Did you see woman about the floral
hall with large grip that appeared
to be heavy? Well, it was full of other
peoples jellies and preserves. She
helped herself to what she wanted of
the best.
The side shows were good. The
writer visited most of them and not a
real fake was found. The manage
ment took particular pains to keep
fakes and bunco games off the grounds
this year.
It was pity that Ecstatic was sick
on Friday. If she had been in fighting
trim she would probably have taken
first money in the free-for-all or the
state record would have been lower
than it is.
HIT. Seaver's bread cooking exhibit
attracted some attention. The Ster-
ling range was used and $50 loaves of
bread were baked with one bod of coal
and given away. The -four used is a
brand sold by D. l. Grapes.
Piano exhibits are aways interest
ing. A special feature of MIR. Cowles'
exhibit was clarinet solos by Slayton
Lang and songs by Miss Marion Bick
ford, accompanied by Mrs. Wells, who
played for Mr.. Cowles.
Our readers will, we are sure, be
lenient with us this week if not as
many locals as usual appear. A glance
at the IL columns of premium awards
at the fair will show that the reason
for less local matter than common is
not because we have been 'sloafing. 4. !.
