EDITORIAL INK ROPS.

In one home where the Editor is sometimes a guest he was interested to note that his hosts never made a practice of locking a door in the house, night or day. And they stated that they had never been molested or had articles stolen. Recently they went away for a period of three weeks, and on their return found everything safe and sound. They never spend time worrying about doors being locked, after they have started of for church or on a jour- ney. And what do locks amount to The average housebreaker can force an entrance into your dwelling, locks or no locks, if he really starts out.

It was Halloween and Sam and Peggy went out to call on their friends. Sam had intended to take Peggy for an auto ride but his chauffeur had run the auto into a pair of bars and was stranded, so they decided to walk. The kids had to go along too, although they did present forlorn appearance, one had broKen nose, two were so sleepy they had to keep winking and blinking their eyes to keep awake, another was a real Indian kid in all his war paint. Nevertheless Sam and Peggy had a good time. Peggy wore a handsome black skirt and lavender colored waist with auto hat to match. Her bright hair set off the hat to perfection, which was tied on with ribbons and a bow under her chin. Sam had fine black suit, but his hat and coat seemed to cause him quite a little trouble. His hat was all the time in the way, not mite as large as a cart wheel but very tall and decidedly top heavy: Their costumes were so unique and win their shiny black faces their friends did not recognize then and one of the kids took it upon himself act as informant.

F. A. Barnes, a popular and well
 liked representative of Stoddard &
 Gilbert, wholesale grocers, has the sympathy of his many local friends
 in the death of his father at Bristol. Since 1902 Seth Barnes had carried
 on a real estate business and a suc- cessful pension agency. His judg-
 ment was often sought for in proper ty valuations. A4e took much inter-
 est in public affairs and faithfully served the town in a number of ca
 pacities. He was tax collector for a time, and a trial justice from 1884 until the town court was established, and tried nearly all of the cases during that period. He served one term as deputy judge of the town court, from 1904 to 1906. He was a member of the board of assessors from 1906 to 1909, and registrar of the third voting district from the time it was formed to 19OS He had at times done jury duty in the Su- perior court. MT Barnes was a trust ee of the Bristol Savings bank, a po- sition that he held for a long time and up to his death, and had also served as member and secretary of the High School committee. Seth Barnes was man whom it was good to know. During all the years of his life in bristol he took an active intelligent interest in it's affairs, the interest of a loyal citizen inspired with desire to do mans part and help in the struggle for betterment and clean living and progress. He was a man of positive convictions, and earnestly maintained what he believed to be the right. But while he unfinchingly upheld his honest convictions, he did so without malice or bitterness, and conceded to others the same right that he asked for him. self. He wss identified with the re- publican party and always worked consistently and faithfully for its success. The same admirable traits that characterized him as man, a des're to be fair, considerats. courte- ous, kindly, and just, made his work as a trial justice distinctive Above all else he sought to be just, while also exercising mercy and sympathy. Those who knew Mir Barnes inti- mately, loved him much. They thor oughly understood and appreciated the earnestness of his character, his ideals, great kindliness and human sympathy, his tenderness toward the weak and suffering, his untlinching honesty, square dealing, uprightness and integrity. They will miss him much, mourn for him sincerely, and cherish his memory as long as they live.

BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES.

The Halloween social given on-l londay eveninga the home of Jerome Nichols was as unique and enjoyable affair as one could imagine. Alice's Wonderland was not more wonderful. Queerer figures were never seen. There were ghosts as white as sheets. There were witches, masculine and feminine. Horrid shapes fitted here and there. Little old women sat primly against the wall. Little old men were as noisy as Hendrix Hudson s rollicking crew. A family of colored friends were present. A wandering min strel, an adept with the violin, furnished untold amusement. A handsome colored bridegroom with his beaming bride ap- peared last of all. The prizes for the most ridiculous costume worn by the ladies was awarded to Mrs hoyal Curtiss and for the most ridiculous garb among the gentlemen to Harry Powell. A short program was rendered consist ing of a sketch by MT Trail and Jer- ome Nichols, a reading by Miss Tstper !iustafson and Instrumental music by Messrs Powell and Nichols. A collation. was served, which was both dainty and satisfying. As a result of the evening good fellowship was promoted and a small sum added to the organ fund.
