Albany Man Loses Life in Fire.

Fire destroyed the farm buildings
of Robert Baird on the Cerek Road in
East Albany Wednesday, Oct. 10th,
and John Coolbeth, who had horse in
the barn was burned to death in try
ing to rescue the animal.
Services were being held in the
Catholic church and a large crowd
from the church gathered quickly and
saved most of the household effects.
All the small tools, three horses and
about As tons of nice hay and grain
were lost, and both house and barn
were totally destroyed.
1t is thought that the fire caught
from sparks from the kitchen CHM
ney. Insurance practically covers
the buildings but only small amount
was carried on the personal property.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baird bought the
place about year ago and had work
ed hard improving the property. They
had just finished papering and paint
ing inside the house.

Large Seat Sale, Good Concert.

The entertainment course for 1917
IS, under the auspices of the I'M
provenent club and conducted this
season for the benefit of the Red
Cross, started off well last week when
the sale of season tickets, as shown
by the seat drawing, was as large as
last year.
The first entertainment of the
course came Friday evening and drew
large audience. The talent was the
"Filipino Singers and Players" and
the program they gave was highly
of very large majority. The sing
ing part of the program was almost
entirely minus as a"result of colds
which every member of the troupe of
five suffered, but the instrumental
selections on the stringed instru-
ments was very acceptable.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

A. Allyn Bishop of Newport has
recently purchased the Curtis Studio
in Barton. The studio has been put
in thorough repair and the operating
room entirely changed, a large side
window taking the place of the old
fashioned skylight. A dressing room
has also been added. The high-grade
of Mr.. Bishops pictures is well
known, and he expects to work up a
large patronage by the eXcellency of
his work. At present Mr.. Bishop
will only be in Barton on Fridays.
The studio will be open all the time,
however, and those wishing to make
appointments, can do SO at any time.
The slogan, Everyone can buy what
you give them but your photograph"
has made photographs more and more
popular as Christmas presents.
Those who intend to have photo
graphs for Christmas are advised to
sit as early as possible. AS all the
old negatives which have no CONNER
cia1 value will be soon disposed of,
Mr.. Bishop calls attention to the fact
that any negative will be retained if
the interested parties will notify the
studio. Do not neglect this. ANA
teur work will be well and promptly
done, and may be left at the studio
at any time. Framing will also be a
speciality. Frames of all sizes and
styles will be carried in stock includ-
ing the large oval frames with bev-
eled glass for enlargements. 4l-42
