Bates. Private Barnes was the first local boy to give his fife for Lis country. He was the son of Mrs. Harriet Barnes of Broad street, and was only 19 years old at the time of his death.

 May Change Cops Hours. There is some talk about town con- corning changing the hours Of the 1 patrolmen. The recent burglary at l Neri's confectionery store on East Main street shows the need of some one to watch the town after the clos ing hours of the stores. It is sug- gested that the hours be changed so that the patroImen will be on duty 1 between the hours of 10 o'clock at night and 6 in the morning. Thus 1t l would include most of the time that 1 the stores are closed.
