to capitalize them by pleasant and
comfortable hotels.
81 have always contended that be-
fore we could expect to attract tourists
in numbers we should be prepared to
entertain them and minister tc their
physical comfort.
81 don't expect to make any money
out of the hotel and will do well if it
pays expenses. am in hopes that it
will serve as a model and stimulate
the building of other resorts in the

and her early life was shent there
and in the vicinity with the exception
OF four years in Holyoke, Mass. She

ago. Since then her home has been
In this town, for the past seven years
on the hill in the home she loved so
well and where among the beauti-
1ul flowers she cultivated she lived a
serene and happy life. The words of
the psalmist, "She looketh we'll to
the ways of her household and eateth
not the bread of idleness," are a fit
response of her quiet life.
On January last she met with an
accident by which she was disabled
and had to be assisted to and from
her chair in which she was Obliged
to remain during the absence of her
husband who, with much patience
waited upon her most faithfully. She

Pageaslt Echoes.

Several persons who have seen many
different pageants in many different
states say the Barton effort was one
of the very best ever witnessed.
The statement that the Owens and
Mays are the only descendants of the
first settlers of Barton to live in town
now must be corrected. G. E. Hamb-
let and son, Carl, and daughter, Ber-
nice, are direct descendants of the or
iginal Browns of whom Welcome O.
Brown and sister were pioneer sett-
lers. If there are others the Monitor
would like to know Of them while the
subject is under discussion.
In a communication received from
Miss Hogle is the following: "Coopera-
ton and earnest effort are large ele-
ments in the success of any undertake
ing and have never seen them dis
played more freely and wholehearted-
ly than in Barton"
In letter to the editor from an Or
leans subscriber is the following post
script: Everyone is proud of the fine
production given"

enough to win but Newport came right
back and made three runs i'm the
sixth on base on balls, an error. a
sacrifice and hit.
In the second game with Lyndonyille
both teams scored one run in the first
inning. Mcmahon started in the box

and won out in the tenth. In this
inning the first man went out, Daley
to Barrows. Kelly then received q

the bag got him in trap. that should
have caught him but he managed to
get back to first. Then followed two
hits and the game was over.
