Visit Granite Plant and Then the Quar-
ries

Better weather conditions for the auto
tour in the early afternoon could not
have been desired. A large number of
ears assembled at Hotel Barre around
l 80 o'clock and the visiting bankers inn
mediately got aboard and were presently
on their way TO Jones Bros granite
plant in the north end. There they were
shown about the largest monumental
plant in the world, attaches accompany
ing them through every department. To
many of the visitors the multitudinous
details that enter into the manufacture
OF a monument formed a wholly reveal
ing feature of the trip. Returning south
ward, the autos wheeled around the park
and stopped long enough to permit an
inspection of the Burns monument.
Granite plants on Batchelder meadow
were next inspected and the same cour-
tesy which the bankers found in the north
end awaited their arrival in the meadow.
The Quarry street route to the quarries
was chosen, the long line of cars being
piloted by {. +. Millar and c. II. Wishart
and party.
Reaching Websteryille. the tourists
aliehted from the machines and were
shown about the Wctmore a. Morse
quarries. Most Of the bankers walked
over the hill 20 the Smith qusrries and
thence along the Barre Chelsea railroad
track TO the corner OF 81. Sylvester's
church, when the autos were waiting.
The party was given the freedom of the
boutwell,, Milne & Narnum quarries and
before they we're allowed 20 depart for

with Bryan cocktails and other soft
drinks. II may he said that nowhere

SMITH STOCK FARM SOLD.
Charles Gordon and DR.. E. H. Bancroft
the Purchasers.

One of the most important transac-
tions in farm realty of the year was con.
summated to-day when Donald Smith
disposed of the Smith Stock farm, so
called, and known also as the old Gale
place, on the Williamstown road to
Charles Gordon and Dr. f. H. Bancroft
of South Barre. The sale was complet
ed through the d. A. Perry Real Estate
agency and while the price named il
not mentioned, il is known that the farm
was listed in the agency at Sl3,500 In
the deal Mr.. Smith reserves a large
tract of land known as the Gale wood
lot and pasture. In connection with the
farm, tract of pasture land adjoining
the Gale section and owned by DIR. Ban
croft will be used. The sale does not
include the stock and crops and tools,
which Mr.. Smith will sell at public auc-
tion later in the month. DIR. Bancroft
plans to move his family TO the farm
and will occupy apartments on the Sec
ond floor of the farmhouse.
Nearly twenty years ago Mr.. Smith
purchased the Gale farm and trans
formed it into one OF the best pieces of
farming property in this section. The
herd of grade Hostein cattle, with
sprinkling OF Guernsey, is one of the
finest in the county. For more than ten
years Mr.. Gordon, now part owner OF
the property, has been the farmer and
i is due in large measure TO his appli-
ration OF scientific farming principles
hat the property has been brought TO
such a high state of cultivation.

Rome Claims Progress in Sexten Region

Drive on the Bug.

London, Aug. l7.--Activity is increas
| ing along the Austro-ltalian front. Rome
claims progress in the Sexten region IN
the Bacherbach and Bodenbach valleys
and the Monte Nero zone. Vienna de-
clares attacks at various points have
failed. Turkish reports say that at
tacks by newly landed troops on the
Dardanelles have been repulsed.
In land fighting, the crisis has not
been reached in the eastern campaign.
The German drive between the Narew
and Bug rivers is evidently making
some headway. Petrograd claims at
tacks have been repulsed with heavy
fighting. Serbias attitude is now said
to be not irreconcilable. Rumania is be-
coming more determined against the
passage of munitions to Turkey. Turkey
is concerned over the attitude of Bull
