Barton Is. Lyndon Institute 8.

Barton Academy defeated Lyndon
Institute Saturday afternoon in a very
exciting game, 13 to 9. Lyndonville
led at the end of the fifth inning, 9
to 3. but Barton steadily forged ahead
by consistent hitting. Barton played
an erratic game for the first five
innings, but did much better in the
closing innings.
Lyndonville was blanked in it's half
of the first, while Barton scored three
runs in its half of the first on two
errors by Nelson, triple by Pike and
single by johnson. Lyndonville tied
the score in the second. Nelson
walked and scored on an error by M.
Leland. III. Leland reached first on a
fielder's choice, stole second and came
home on an error by M. Leland Carr
singled and after stealing second came
home on a fielder's choice
Barton went out in order until the
sixth. Lvndonville annexed two runs
in the third, fourth and fifth on a
combination Of hits and errors. Bar
ton seemed to find Clarke in the sixth
inning and put two ilns across the
plate after Pike, R. jewell, and A.
Jewell had singled. Bart5n added six
more in the seventh and Two in the
eighth M. Leland frightened up after
the fifth inning end did not allow a hit.

FIRST MEETING TONIGHT.

Evangelist Lewis E. Smith, opens
the series of services under the
auspices of the Methodist and Congre-
gational churches Of this place with a
service at the Methodist church at
Z 30 O'Clock this evening. They will
continue every evening. the rest of
this week and all of next, except
Saturday evenings. Everyone is most
cordially invited. The services are all
free. Mr.. Smith is a fine speaker and
singer and all will want to hear him.
When he left East Burke, where he
recently held services, the Lyndonville
Journal said: ''The evangelistic serv.
ices, which have been in progress
here for the last ten days under the
auspices of the Congregational and
Methodist churches, closed Thursday
night with one of the largest
audiences ever in the town. The
interest in these meetings has been
phenomenal and it is safe to say that a
genuine revival of religion in this
community has been experienced.
Evangelist Lewis E. Smith has won
the confidence of all and many who
had little faith in the success of the
effort are loudest in their expressions
of approval of the man and his
message. The results are not to be

SOUTHALBANY FIRESWEPT
Eighteen Buildings Bum, Los. Probably
$25,OCO. Starts from B, r.h Fire.
No Fire Protection.

Fire yesterday afternoon destroyed
more than half the village of South
Albany, sweeping away 18 different
buildings and most of their contents
and causing a loss estimated at from
$25, 900 to 100000. Probably $12, 900
insurance was carried but this is an
estimate only.
The fire started about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon on the A. A. Webster
barn, taking from brush fire nearby
built by Nelson Rash, and in two
hours the entire village east of the
river and north of where the fire
started was in ruins except one house
which marvelously escaped. There
was strong south wind and every
thing was very dry and burned like
tinder. The fire literally leaped from
one building to another and scarcely
anything in the line of personal and
household effects was saved. In some
instances people escaped with only the
clothes they wore.

barn and automobile; E. j. Douglas,

barns; Will Ames, house. barn and

barn; church property and number
of other smaller outbuildIngs. Some
of the other losses include horse by
Mr.. Webster, several hogs by Mr..
Anderson and 1900 pounds Of sugar by
Mr. Ames. The central telephone of
fee of the Mcclure lines was burned
but is being replaced.
The church building had just been
repaired at an expense of about $500.
Only 16 buildings remain standing in
the village, while 18 were burned.
The fire is a great blow to South
Albany and it is doubtful if the place
is ever rebuilt, at least all the build
ings replaced. and once more demon.

at South Albany and its efficiency is
told in the sad story of the fire. One
man stated that his loss alone in this
fire would have built water system
for the place that would have beer
ample for fre-fighting.
