community. He was a faithful,
hard working man, and Fate might
have provided for him a more
kindly end. A wife, four daught-
ers and other relatives and friends
mourn his demise. Just a week
or so prior to his tragic end Mr..
Bartsch took an insurance policy
for $1,000 in the Knights of the
Maccabees which goes to his fam
lily. The funeral occurred Satur-
day morning and interment was
made in the Fisher cemetery in the
Cove. May he rest in peace.
Cameron G. Marshall, assisted
by Master Virro B. Anderson, will
be here at the Academy of Music,
Tuesday evening, November Both.
Mr.. Marshall belongs to the class
of those artists who are born, but
who cannot be made. IT'S seldom
an artist is found who is so emil
inently successful along SO many
lines. AS a Baritone, he has
marked ability. He not only
renders his selections with ex-
preston but illustrates them with
crayon sketches drawn while he
sings. His repertoire is varied,
thus covering a wide range, and
offering selections that will please
any audience. He is accompanied
by Master Virro B. Anderson.
Master Anderson is a boy pianist
and pronounced by those whe
have heard him to be a "phenom-
email" He is now fifteen years of
age, and is a pupil of Edward
Baxter Perry and Emil Lubling.
The performances of Master An
derson at the piano-forte come as
a surprise to most audiences. He
is an excellent 'Cellist as well as a
pianist. Some of the residents of
Arcadia Valley have already
heard Cameron G. Marshall and
Master Anderson and are looking
forward with pleasure to the n
tertainment Tuesday evening. The
entertainment promises to be
''something~ different" and a guar
anteed attraction.
We are glad to see the farmers
so deeply interested in trying to
keep the hunters off their lands
and thus save the quail and other
insect destroying birds from being
killed. There is no bird known
to the American farmer that de-
stroys so many insects in a year
as the quail, and yet hunters from
the towns with guns and dogs
roam over our farms in a most
disgusting and unwelcome way
and tear our fences down and
tramp over our crops and shoot
Unfortunately in every direction,
often killing or wounding our
stock, as we'll as sometimes wound
ing and killing n another. In
all our acquaintance we know
only one farmer who will deliber-
ately take his gun and shoot quail.
This shows conclusively that it is
not the farmer destroying his
own good friends, the quail, but
that it is a certain class of hunters
from the towns who do not have
the good of the farmer and coun-
try at heart. Millions of dollars
are lost to the farmers every year
on account of hunters strolling
over our farms and killing birds
that keep the insects in check.
Not long ago we read of a hunter
killing a quail and on cutting open
it's crop and counting it's contents
found So cinch bugs, II grasshop-
pers and numerous other insects
he could not name.-Farmington

The following is sent the REG
IsTER from Des Arc: "The social
circle of our town report one of
the most enjoyable evenings they
have spent for a long time last
Friday evening, when the Blue
Ribbon Club gave a tacky party at
the residence of Mr.. P. B. Powers.
The party was we'll attended, there
being al present. The guests
began to come in about 1880 P. NJ,
and from that until 9 P. NJ. the
time was spent viewing the wear
ing apparel of the guests that were
coming in, which kept the party
in a continual laugh, as the guests
were all dressed different and as
tacky as they knew how to dress.
From 9 until 10 P. M, the party
was entertained by music by the
members of the Blue Ribbon Club.
This club or orchestra was or
ganized only two weeks ago, by
Mr.. Oscar 7. Honey, and the
progress they have made was a
surprise to the guests. At 10 P. M,
a flash-light picture was taken Of
the crowd in their tacky costumes.
At 1890 luncheon was served,
which consisted of coffee, COCO and
cake. The boys were to bake the
cakes but only a few complied
with the request. After lunch
judges were elected to decide on
the tackiest boy and girl. The
Judges we're Mr.. Leonard Morris,
Mr.. L. Dawson, and Oscar Honey.
The prizes were awarded to Mrs.
Leonard Morris and Mr.. Artie
Schmidt as being the tackiest con-
testants. The rest of the time was
spent in music and games and at
IL o'clock the party bid one an
other good night and departed
saying they had had one of the
best times Of their lives"
Senator Stone was here last Sat-
urday, al per announcement. He
was met at the station at noon by
a deputation Of leading citizens,
