BARTON CELEBRATION
AND PAGEANT
July 1 to Big Event in Barton
AerOplane, Pageant, Baseball,
Parades, Etc.

The outstanding feature of the
125th anniversary celebration at Bar
ton, July Ia, will be great outdoor
historical pageant, staged near the
outlet of "May" brook into Crystal
lake.
From early realistic Indian scenes
to the final patriotic World War scene
the high points in Barton's history
will be depicted with a local cast of
800 people in 10 episodes and dance
interludes, the event costing more
than $4,000 to produce. Col. Barton,
Gen. Lafayette, the smugglers of
1912, the Civil war heroes, the merry
makers of the old-time husking bee
and the G. A. r. as they pass the
old flag to the American Legion, all
will take their place in turn upon the
woodland stage, each group and char
acter clothed in special costumes of
the period they represent.
Because Barton possesses a munich
pal electric plant it has been posi-
BILE to obtain the Illuminating spe-
cialist of the General Electric COM
pany to do the evening lighting.
Fountains, fire, smoke torches and
changing rainbow hues upon the
dancers will be special features, while
the historic scenes will be lighted by
immense floods such as were used at
the Panama exposition.
Nothing of like magnitude has
ever been attempted in this part of
the state and all the latest that
science has produced will be combined
to make this lighting a thing of ex-
quisite beauty.
The pageant is written and pro-
duced by Miss Imogene Phipps Hogle
of Boston, with Miss Madeline Ran
dali of st. Johnsbury directing the
dancing and Mr.. Cogan of the General
Electric company as lighting mana
ger.
The pageant will be staged Friday,
Saturday and Monday nights, July 1,
2 and at 8 o'clock and Monday after
noon at o'clock.
Besides the pageant there will be
a full program Saturday and Mon
day. On Saturday there will be air.
plane exhibits and passenger carrying
by the Burke, Jones, Salisbury Aero
Corporation of Randolph, the only
Vermont flying organization. They
will fly to Barton a new $500 exhibi-
tion plane. There will be band con-
certs, baseball, parades and other
features. The program on Monday
the Fourth, consists of baseball at
10 o'clock, concerts, ,parades, pageant
presentations, ETC.

MUNICIPAL COURT

Judge w. M. Wright of Barton held
a session of the municipal court on
Monday afternoon and the following
cases were heard and disposed of.
Philip Paradis of Irasburg, charged
with the theft of watch, had jury
trial. The case was of special interest
and there were many witnesses from
Irasburg present. During the trial
information for receiving stolen goods
was also furnished. The jury brought
in verdict of guilty of receiving and
disposing of stolen goods. The SEN
tence being not less than five or over
six months at the house of correction
with costs of prosecution. The exc
cCtion of the prison sentence was sus-
pended and Paradis was placed in the
hands of the probation officer. States
attorney Albert Farman prosecuted
the case and Judge E. j. Smith was
Paradis' attorney.
: Adhema Choquette of Newport
Center received a fine of $500 and
costs for intoxication.
T. III. Savaria of Troy was given
fine of $500 and costs for intoxi-
cation. He also was fined $1OO. 100
and costs for operating an automobile
while under the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquor.
This paper of last week reported
Wesley Chase as receiving a fine of
$500 and costs for operating a car
while intoxicated. This was an error
as Judge Wright is not letting such
offenders of the law off with less
than 500 fine. The sentence of
Chase was with held for the time
being.
