Woman's Literary Club Entertain.

The event of last week took place
at the Odd Fellows hall on Thursday
evening when the Woman's Literary
club entertained the Afternoon Study
club and gentlemen. About $50 mem
bers and invited guests were present.
The program consisted of music by
Powell's orchestra, a cello solo by
Karl Webster of Orleans, and the
"Drum Corps" and Japanese song''
from the opera "Winsome Winnie''
were finely rendered ny six ladies, Mrs.
F. d. Pierce, Mrs. r. P. Webster, Mrs.
F. I'll. Pillsbury, Mrs, E. M. Nichols,
Miss Marion Redfeld and Miss Ruth
Ellis. The main feature of the enter
tainment was the one act comedy en-
titled mo Men Wanted" by Walter
Baker. This was very prettily enact
ed by Mrs. Ruth Webster as Eliza
beth, Miss Marion Redfeld as Isabelle,
and Mrs. A. T. Buswell as Prinnilla,
the negro servant. Each act was well
carried out and much credit is due the
actors. Cake and coffee were served
after the close of the program.

H. W. Allen, cashier of the Woods
vile, N. H., national bank, formerly
of st. JohDsbury, is held on the charge
of misappropriating the funds of that
institution. He has given bail to ap-
pear at the March term of the federal
grand jury and has turned over secu
rity to the amount that will entirely
reimburse the bank so that no one
will lose cent. Much sympathy is
felt for Allen who has always been
considered trustworthy and good
banker. The funds have been invest
ed in timber business and western
land. The shortage has been covered
up for some time by using private
securities taken from deposit vaults
and placing them with the bank secu-
rites when examination was made by
officials.

BARTON BASEBALL TEAM.
A Word About the Past and Future of
Baseball in Barton from Last Y ears
Manager.
Mr.. Editor

Mr.. EDITOR
Since we were able last season to
rightfully claim the honor OF being
State Champions of Vermont, having
beaten every team in it's series with
US, We find this spring a certain apa :
thy, sort of ''we are it'' expression n
and ''we don't care" which means
that we will not be able to hold the
honors we have won. Now as man
ager of the team during the season of
1905 | believe this to be deplorable,
and | thought Barton was made of
sterner stuff, that they had the real
fight in them, and having once won
would stand by their colors and would
if defeated go down fighting, but it
looks as though | was wrong.
Now good people of Barton, if you
don't think our team of last year was
a credit to the town, and that we have
always had team that was credit,
don't help us, on the other hand |
believe that a championship ball
team is credit to any town, and fur
thermore that it is business PROPOSE
ton. I am in position to know the
cost of maintaining last seasons team

J. F. Batchelder Buys Nelson Block.

j. F. Batchelder has bought of the
B. M. r. Nelson estate through E.
w. Barron, administrator, the so-called
Nelson block. The block is generally
conceded to be the best location in
town, although it is not a modern
building in many respects. Besides
the ground on which the block rests
there is a large lot between it and
the Davis store. 1t is generally sup
posed that Mr.. Batchelder will move
in where Mr.. Cowles and Miss Colburne
now are and that they will seek new
quarters. The consideration is report
ed to be $1,000.

day and lodged them in Caledonia
county jail, the mon having been ar
rested on the charge of passing coun

The men were arrested on COM

the local banks and asked if the bill
was good. He was assured that it
was not and he notified the officers.
The men wanted suspected trouble
