YEARS WORK SURVEYED.
Barre Evening Drawing School Exhibi
ton Now Being Held

Once again the work of the Barre free
evening drawing school is placed before
the public for inspection. The seventh
year in the existence of school that
has come to be regarded as an important
adjunct of the granite industry closed
this week. Last evening the school
rooms in the Mathewson building were
thrown open for those who cared to look
over the work of students in the three
departments of the school The exhibit
ton will continue this afternoon, and
again this evening, closing Monday even
ing. -Four sessions weekly have been
held since the school reopened last Sep
TENDER. There has been total enroll
ment of l27, of whom % were listed as
regular students.
The war has affected the attendance
in a measure, as the percentage of older
students has shrunk perceptibly. Never
theless, with an efficient corps of instruc-
tors, the work has gone forward among
the younger students, and the results
have been gratifying. Much of the ele-
mentary work, as disclosed by an inspec
ton of the specimen drawings, enables
one to make an adequate comparison be-
tween the evening drawing school studies
school as it is followed BY the students
from the eighth grade TO the last year in
the high school. In most respects the
work is not at all dissimilar, and at
many points the courses run parallel.

ually borne down and defeated. That
was the fate of Ensign Stephen Potter
of Detroit, Mich. However, the reports
go to show that Potter was not gutter
by any means and that he was ready TO
put up the fight even against those great
odds. The enemy, even though they all
may have escaped destruction, knew that
they had been in a fight ,and hard one
at that, although their numerical supe-
riority left little doubt of the outcome.
Ensign Stephen Potter was of the right
stuff and he fought till his machine was
completely incapacitated All honor to
Ensign Stephen Potter, brave man! The
American fighting forces, let it be added,
are full of men of his stamp whether
they be in the aviation service. the in
fantry, the navy or any other branch of
the service Time will bring them to
light; and their opportunity will serve
their country well.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Music Appropriation.

Editor, The Times: Upon inquiry re-
Gently ! was panied to learn that the
Barre pipe band and the Christoforo Co
lombo band, those two worthy organiza-
tions which are furnishing music for our
patriotic gatherings when so many Of
our musicians of military age are with
the colors, do not share alike the rela.
lively small appropriation which the city
council has made for amusements this
year. Indeed, as a friend of both bands
and an admirer of the fine spirit in which
they have given freely of their services
whenever they were solicited, | dislike
to believe that our city council inten.
tionally Disseminated against the young
Italian musicians and their leader in the
matter of apportioning money for band
concerts this season. 1t seems that none
of the players is paid for his services,
and that the money received from the
city, had the band secured part of the
concert appropriation, would have been
expended entirely for new music and
other supplies. In these days when the
success of our manifold
public gatherings depends so much on the
lively music the local bands can furnish,
is it fair to appropriate all of the CON
cert money to one band to the exclusion
of the other? MY knowledge of the pipe
band and its friendly relations with the
Italian musicians whenever the two have
appeared in public together leads me TO
believe that the pipers would be perfectly |
willing to share the $3.50 provided by the
council with the juvenile band. Perhaps
the city council viii explain the apparent
Fair Play.

MEETING THUGS WITH THEIR OWN
WEAPONS.

We Americans were among the first to
shudder against the act of the Germans
in utilizing poison gas as a weapon in
warfare, and the most of us are still in
clined to believe that the eventual Hague
conference ought to make an effort to
eliminate the use of gas for all time.
However, we are forced to admit that
safety of the world depends at the pres
ent time upon the utilization of all the
methods of waging war on a wholesale
scale. Self representation demands that
the thug be treated with the same sort
of weapon which he yields himself, pro-
viding such a weapon can be obtained.
Self preservation of nations--large and
Embellishments that the weapons.
brought to bear by the thug nations be
turned on the thugs whenever practic-
able. Germany is a thug. Therefore,
Germany with her bloody hand at the
throat of many peace-loving nations
must be dealt with as the call for life
necessitates. Then, when this terrible
affair is concluded and the world begins
TO compose itself after the great upheav
al, the conference of the nations should
be directed to the duty of adopting some
international rules which shall prohibit
the use of such fendish weapons as pois
on gas and, coupled with those rules, the
strong hand for enforcement of them.
Americans, and, no doubt, the peoples of
our allies in large part, are opposed TO
the use of poison gas as battle weapon.

The entente world, and presumably
the Germanic world too, will await with
great interest the developments which
will show the meaning of the announce
ment that military plans are now under
way to prevent German encroachment in
the far east. That Japan, and perhaps
China, will figure in the movement is to
be taken for granted because Japan and
China are most vitality interested in that
section of the globe. 1t is to be hoped
that the vast spotentialities of the two
Oriental countries are about to be util-
lied in the purpose to rid the world of
Prussianism. Up to the present time
neither one of those nominal allies of
Great Britain, France, the United States
and Italy has done anything particularly
worthy of itself or of the cause which
they are supposed to represent. Wheth
er that is due to prohibition on the part
Of the ruling countries of the allies or to
reluctance on the part of the two nations
themselves has never been revealed. 1t
is certain that Japan at least can exert
powerful influence when once directed
to the task.

CARLTON-L LIVINGSTON
REUNION

The annual reunion Of the Living
stone and the Carlton families was
held at Lebanon church Tuesday, Aug
ust 13.
About two hundred members of the
two families were present.
The exercises, held in the church,
consisted in perfecting the constitu-
ton and carrying out it's provisions by
electng and formally installing the va
rious bodies provided for, and in his
torical work.
Mrs. Ella Jarratt, Livingstone his,
torian, gave history of the Living
stone family as far as she had been
able to complete to the present time
Miss Marion Anderson, historian for
the Carlton family read the genealog-
zeal record of the family, as she had
gathered it from various sources and
gave some correspondence from sew
eral members of other Carleton fami-
lies in various parts Of the south.
These histories were very interest
ing and gave promise of much fuller
and more satisfactory research in the
near future.
The memorial section Of the exercise
brought out life sketches Of Anthony
Carlton and wife; Thos. P. Livingston
and wife and of several parent couples
Of the next succeeding generation.
These life sketches were given from
actual memories of the writer's and
impaired a real interest to the occa-
sion.
The dedication of the joint family
service flag, conducted by Mrs. A. w.
Livingston, with Mrs. VIM. Thomas
calling the roll of honor as the stars
were pinned on by members Of the sol
der boys families deeply touched the
patriotic emotion of the audience.
Fourteen stars were placed on the
flag. The audience sang America"
with much spirit. Mrs. J. A. Crowder
was elected custodian of the flag.
After a bountiful and most enjoy
able basket dinner, Rev. j.. A. Ander-
son of Arkansas, and John c. Anderson
Of Oklahoma, made interesting talks,
and a good letter from Jasper Carl
ton of Arkansas was read by G. L.
Carlton.
The election resulted in the choice
Of DR.. A. w. Livingston as president
of the Livingston family, with Mrs.
E. W. Wills vice-president; Miss Ma
ry Livingstone, secretary; Mrs. w. l..
Rice of Ripley corresponding secreta-
1y; Mrs. Ella Jarratt, historian.
The Carleton family elected G. w.
Anderson president; Mrs. T. C. Sim
mons of Jackson vice-president; Mrs.
Sue Dupree, recording secretary; c.
G. Carleton, corresponding secretary;
Miss Marion Anderson historian.
There was general regret that Pres
ident Howell Livingstone and wife of
Texas and Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. L.
Rice and wife of Ripley were unable
tc be present. Rev. j. A. Anderson,
end Messrs. Walter and Charlie Mar
tin of Arkansas, with their families;
John C. Anderson of Oklahoma; Mrs.
Josephine Lowe Lieut.. Dixon and wife
Of Bolivar; Mrs. 7. C. Simmons and
William Lowe of jackson were present
and added much to the general pleas
ure.
All those who were present and en-
joyed this first officially appointed re-
union very much and will look to the
annual return of the occasion with
pleasant anticipation. C. w. A.

well as the most diversified that ever
Travelled, and judging from the hearty
encomiums bestowed upon it by the
press wherever it has appeared, record
breaking crowds will be attracted to
jackson on the day of its appearance
in that city.
The equipment is practically all new
this year, the parade the most gor-
geous ever given in connection with a
circus.
There are forty special featurs
programmed together with every con-
eomitant that make circus attractive
and well worth while.
The marvellous pageant produced as
an inaugural to the great exhibition
entitled Golden Days and Olden
Ways" with its hundreds of people,
gorgeous costumes, animal accompani-
ments and allegorical floats is reputed
to be one of the most beautiful specta-
cles ever projected.
There are said to be more exclu-
sive and sensational acts than were
ever before presented on single pro-
gram in the past. There are sixty
five acrobats and gymnasts. Number
ed among these are the famous Nelson
family, the Shanghai Chinese troops,
then first American appearance; the
Rayduff Zouaves, displaying marvel
Gus executions of dexterity and pre-
cision, demonstrating the intricate and
numerous military evolutions of the va
rious armies.
The equestrians include such famous
