Fair Will be rs Cents.

Rumor had it that the Barton fair
would be so cents this year because
of the air ship feature, which has
never before been given as an at
traction at a Is cent fair, but the
directors net Friday and voted to
keep the price at rs cents, and the
Monitor believes it can truthfully say
that the Orleans County fair this
year, August 22, %, and "a will be
the best 25 cent fair in New England.
Certainly no other fair, even of the 5O
cent variety, is giving its patrons
finer feature. If Aviator Martin was
to fly but once on one day it would be
a feature no other fair or show ever
gave for 25 cents, but he will make
one or more flights on both Wednes.
day and Thursday. There will be all
the other usual features also, such as
ball games. horse racing, cattle show,
etc. and don't forget that the price Is
E5 cents and tell your friends.

SHOOTING In HOLLAND.
Mrs. A. M. Place Alleged to Have
Wounded Husband by Hitting
Him near Nose.

Mr. and Mrs. A M. Place of Hol-
land were the principals in shooting
affair at their home Sunday evening
1t seems that Mr.. and Mrs. Place had
been imbibing too freely of lntoxl-
cants and fell to disputing. Mrs.
Place in fit of anger is said to have
seized revolver and fred at her hus-
band. The bullet entered at the right
of Mr. Places nose and lodged in the
upper jaw. Mrs. Place was little
sobered by what had happened and
had the presence of mind to telephone
for doctor. During the interval be-
tween the sending for the doctor and
his arrival, Mr.. Place took their
young child and carried it to a place
of safety.
The doctor upon arriving found no
one present and in company with two
others entered the house. They
found blood stains all over the house
and evidences of severe struggle.
Later Mr.. Place presented himself at
the doctors for treatment and was
found to be suffering intense pain.
| The patient was taken to hospital.
No arrests have been made as yet
pending an Investigate tion by State s
Attorney Wright, but Mrs. Place is
being kept under surveillance.

The Orleans County Veterans asso-
citation held its 31st annual reunion at
Glover on June zSth., After hearing

read, the question arose where should

ing invited they decided to come to
Barton and hold their reunion on Flag
Day, June IA, 1912. The following
comrades were chosen as officers to
serve the ensuing year. President,

address was delivered by Rev. w. A.
long be remembered by the old boys.
We do feel highly in praise of the
speaker, for the sympathy he has for
the old veterans, his talk was on the
'Sunny Side of Life" wondered how
the old boys could be so jovial when
they meet on these occasions after
experiencing what they did during
war. The speaker held the boys
spellbound, first he would have his
audience stirred with laughter, ther
one could have seen the tears cours
ing down the cheeks of the old sol
diers, as the speaker rehearsed the
scenes of SO years ago. Remark:
were made by Col. Mansur. c. c.
Wheeler, VIM. Williams and Simeor
Clark. We would also speak of tn,
talk Mrs. A. C. Sleeper gave, in he
kind-hearted way for the sympath!
she had for the old soldiers.
