buildings. The spring painting fever
has surely taken the town, and it's
good kind of fever for town to get.
A healthy robust looking man of
about 40 years called on several resi-
dents here Saturday morning begging
for food. Surely there is no call for a
mans begging now who is at all able
to work. If people would turn down
such tramps and refuse to help them
the fad would soon die out.
Geo. r. Scott has decided to buy a
concrete block making machine for the
spring and summer trade in and about
this town. No doubt this method of
building is the coming method and

If one of Barton's former residents
could be blindfolded and placed in the
square facing the Owen block and sud.
denly made to see, he would not recog-
nlze where he was. The plate glass |

light inside is much better and the
display of goods in the windows is
much more attractive. Let the good I
work go on.
