Locke Makes Statement.

The statement has been circulated
that .. w. Locke, one of Barton 8
candidates for representative, would
support the progressive state ticket
in the Legislature should occasion oc-
cur for such test. The editor of
this paper. believing that the best in
terests of the state are fostered by
continuing the republican party in
power in Vermont, asked Mr.. Locke
for his position upon this matter and
received this reply:
Wallace H. Gilpin, Barton, Vt.
Dear Sir :
In reply to your inquiry as to what
my attitude would be, if elected town
representative, in the event that
there should be no election of stat e
officers September 3rd and the ques-
tion came before the legislature for
settlement; will say very frankly
that l believe no representative could
honorably do otherwise than voice the
sentiment of his town as expressed at
the polls. In other words I woulC
regard the vote of September 3rd on
the state ticket as a direct expression
of Barton's wish.
-. Yours very truly.

ORLEANS COUNTY FAIR
One of the Most Successful Fairs Ever
Held Beachey
Marvel.

"The best Csc fair in New Eng
land" was held at Barton last week
and was an unconditional success.
Favorable weather prevailed and
large crowds attended, the total at
tendance reaching about 20, 900.
The cattle show and other exhibits
were about an average. Some de-
partments showed a marked i'm
provement over last year and pc
rusal of the premium awards given in
this issue will give. an idea of this
part of the fair.
A glance at the summary of the
horse races will show that the races
were good.
TIE ball games between a picked
Barton team and the Montreal Stars
were good games but lacked the snap
usually shown in fair games. Bar
ton lost the series to Montreal, win
ming on Wednesday to 2. but losing
on Tuesday to and Thursday Z to
z. The Monitor is unable to use the
itemized score.
On Thursday C. E. Smith of Nor
risvllle. prohibition candidate for gov
ernOr of Vermont, addressed the crowd
in the grand stand for a short time.
He complimented the management Of
the association On the success Of their
fair and referred briefly to politics by
touching upon the taxation problem.
Allen M. Fletcher, republican nominee
for governor, also spoke for few
minutes, referring to the fact that
Mr.. Smith endorsed him. Mr.. Fletch

F. 7. Holder Dead.

News was received in Barton We'd
nesday of the death of Hon. F. I.
Holder of Yonkers, N. Y. Mr.. Hold
er was known in and about Barton for
his generosity in making the local
fair grounds what they are. When
they were in run down. condition
he purchased them and expended over
$50, 900 on them. Mr.. Holder was an
uncle of Geo. H. Davis and Mrs. E.
L. Gaskell of this place and the faith
er of Mrs. Peene who spends her sum-
mers at Fox Hall, Weslm7re. In
honor Of the deceased the fair
grounds were drsDed with black
Grape and the flag was flown at half
daily speaks Of him as follows:
"Yonkers lost one of its best known
residents and a man who had been
cnnspicuously identified with the in
dustrial life of the city when Francis
T. Holder, a retired carpet man ufac-
turer. and formerly president of the
Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet
Company. died at his home. 40 Locust
Hill avenue. about half-past O'Clock
this morning "wednesday, August
2D. His death was sudden and came
as shock to the family and his busi-
ness associates. It was due to acute
indigestion. He had returned to the
city, yesterday afternoon, from a va
cation sojourn at his summer home in
| Massachusetts,.
"Mr. Holder was born in Lancaster,
now Clinton, Mass, August Is, 1888.
In 1870 he came to the Smith manu-
factory from the Bigelow Mills in
Clinton Eventually he became sup
| erintendent of the Yonkers plant, and
continued as such until bis election to
the presidency of the company, in
1894. Jan. 25, 1902, he relinquished
! the Presidency and retired from &C.
tive business pursuits. He remained
member of the board of directors
He had acquired wealth.
"Mr. Holder was a man of very
large experience in his line, having a
practical knowledge of every process
in the manufacture of carpets. He
was a self-made man, having begun
life in humble way as watchman in
a mill by close application and in
dustry he not only mastered all the
intricate details of the many depart
ments of the mills, but became head
of the whole enterprise. He owned a
residence in Pasadena, CAL, as well
as in Massachusetts.
"News of his demise will come as a
surprise to the general public. for,
despite his years, he looked rugged
and in good health. Most persons
would have thought he was much
younger than 79 years.
"Mr. Holder was married twice.
His first wife was Miss Arabella P.
Davis, who died Feb. 25. 1898. Their
daughter, Ava L.. is the widow OF
former Mayor John Garrison Peene of
Yonkers. Mr.. Holders second wife
who survives him, was Miss Elizabeth
W. Woodbury. of Bolton, Mass.
"He had served as a member of the
Yonkers board of education. In -1S9:
he was the Democratic candidate fol
mayor, but was defeated by Jane:
H. Weller, Republican.
ga number of years ago Mr. HoIde,
gave a library and public hall to Clin
I ton, Mass, his birthplace, as a. memo
rial to the Holder family"

Fair Notes.

The best of reports from all quar-
ters are heard about the fair.
Sec. Baldwin is to be compliment
ed upon his management of the fair.
The Orleans band furnished music
on Wednesday and the Glover band on
Thursday.
New Hampshire and Quebec auto
mobiles were quite common on the
grounds and Vermont cars came from
a wide radius.
A follower of fairs said he seldom
had seen in so large a crowd so lit
tie evidence of liquor as was appar-
ent Wednesday,.
Beachey in his flights covered a
much wider territory than many
imagine. In one of his flights he
passed over West Glover village.
Pike did his usually good job in
starting the races. He also took ad-
vantage of his position in announc-
ing the Morrisville fair to boom
"Teddy" little.
Three articles were lost or taken
by mistake from the art department
in Floral hall during the fair, namely,
No. 148, Irish crochet andkerchief
with embroidered initial "M." Nos.
263 and 264. crocheted mats. 1t
would be great favor to the Orlean
County Fair association if the finder
of said articles will kindly return
them to Mrs. c. A. Barrows. Barton.

Mrs. E. II. Webster.

Mrs. Ellery H. Webster died after a
long and painful illness at her late
residence on Park street, Friday night.

common schools and at the village
school of Coventry. Later she taught
several terms of district school and
was employed for a time Nashua.

Webster, who died July 6. 1909. The
greater part of Mrs. Webster's life
was spent in Barton. She was a
member of the Methodist church, the
Afternoon Study cl0b and the
Woman's Relief corps, in all of which
organizations she took a deep inter-
est. She always cared great deal
for her relatives, friends and neigh

that her interests were chiefly CEN
tered. Besides many other relatives.
she leaves three brothers. Oscar P.
and Will o. Wright Of Westfeld, and
Edgar P. Wright Of Newport, also
three sons, Clarence S., and Carroll B.
of this place and Elmer E. Of Quebec,
missed. The funeral was held Sun
