TOM THUMB WEDDING.
Fifty of Barton's Tiny Folks in
NIidget's Wedding Friday Eve
ming.

Seaver's hall will be the scene of
the greatest "society" wedding Bar
ton has ever seen, Friday evening,
when two of Barton's tiny tots will
be married" on the stage. The brid-
al party will be surrounded by the
usual wedding retinue of maids, best
man, ushers, etc, all Barton s little
folks dressed in ''grown up'' clothes.
It is said that the midgets' wedding
is always a great laugh producer. 1t
is staged by a professional who is
here for the purpose with the cos
tunes for the little ones. There will
be songs, a wedding breakfast and
all that goes with a swell wedding
and every participant in it will be
one of Barton's children who are not
over ten years of age.
You better get your tickets now,
but the event is not until Friday eve
ming.
The proceeds of this entertainment
will go for the benefit of the building
fund of the Woman's Literary club.
The entertainment and the cause both
deserve the hearty support Of the
people.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.
Ben Greet Players to Stage "The
Merchant of Venice" in Barton.

Not in years has a Barton audience

enduring play as will appear in Sea-
ver's opera house Saturday evening,

provement Club Entertainment
course , the proceeds for which go to
the local branch of the Red Cross.
AS announced last week, this num-
ber takes place of John Ratio who
was to have been here earlier in the
winter, but this number is far and
above the Ratio number, as the Ben
Greets in their Shakespearean plays
are known and hailed the country over
as perhaps the best interpreters of
that famous playwright. This is
why the Monitor says it is a rare op-
portunity.
The cast includes some IL actors.
The company is unique in that it is
the only company that has been able
to successfully play the works of the
Bard of Avon" night after night,
summer and winter for nearly four
teen years.
Those who miss this number will
miss the best thing the lecture
course has brought to Barton in sew
eral years. Holders of course tickets
will welcome this number, and those
who must secure single admissions
should do so at once at Pierce's, price

Creamery Meeting.
The state department of agricul-
ture in cooperation with the Orleans
County Agricultural association is
planning a series of creamery meet
ings in Orleans county. On the af-
ternoon Of Feb. 21st at 13O p. m.
there will be a meeting at Irasburg
in the town hall. Lantern slides will
be used to show various activities of
different cooperative creameries in
the state of Vermont. V. R. Jones,
M. R. Tolstrup will speak at these
meetings and it is hoped that either
E. S. Brigham of ST. Albans, COM
missioner of agriculture or J. J. Wat
son of Brandon, field agent of the
Ayrshire Cattle club, will also be
present. The same program will be
repeated at Newport the following
afternoon, Feb. %, at 1.3O p. m.
Every farmer interested in coopera-
tive marketing of dairy products will
do well to attend one of these meet
ings as these men have something to
say about cooperative creameries that
is well worth while.

Owen was appropriate in thought and
received much applause.
