rett, popularity known as Sam Bar
rett, passed away at his home on the
old wire road two miles southwest of
town Tuesday morning, Nov. 2. Mr..
Barrett had only been ill a few days,
having called for doctor the Sunday
evening previous, and his sudden de-
mise has caused a feeling of sadness
to spread over the entire community,
as his friends were numbered by the
hundreds. His cheerful disposition
was proverbial. To mourn his loss,
devoted wife and exceedingly bright
boy and girl and an aged father re-
main. The burial services which
were very largely attended, were held
in the Methodist church Wednesday
afternoon.

tainty of again having reliable auto
service to and from town; incidental
| ~ with their arrival things will take
a start in the social line.

Spooks walked the streets of Belle
view by the light of the stars last
Saturday night and in a stealthy
manner cut up all kinds of pranks
and capers too numerous to mention
| Some Of the acts were looked upon
in the light of pokes, while some OF
them provoked thoughts that the hon,
orees preferred to think, with the ex.
ception of some who were honored
! who spoke their minds in real oper
/ manner that was cheerful to listen to
However, boys will be boys, and il
will not happen again for another
year. AS an after thought, haw adj
Imirable it would have been if all OF
this misspent energy had been direct
ed against a good sized woodpi1e.
