ter of Mr.. and Mrs. o. B. Willard,

peritonitis following an operation for
appendicitis a week or ten days be-

some few. days before submitting to

Miss Frances was born in town,
was graduate of Barton academy,
10, and was a student at the Univer-
sity of Vermont. member of the
Congregational church and had been
active in young peoples work and IN
the Sunday school. She was bril-
liant young lady of charming person
ality, sweet disposition and was a
general favorite among wide circle
of acquaintances, both here and at
college.
The entire community mourns with
her father, mother, brother, Richard,
and grandmother, Mrs. Mary Dan
forth, and other relatives.
Funeral services were held from
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Hunt
on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock
and interment was in Welcome o.
Brown cemetery. Rev. j. j. Hutch1n-
son oficiated.

County Fair Auditors Report.

The call for the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Orleans Coun-
ty Fair at Hotel Barton, Tuesday:
January I'd, has been issued by the
secretary, III. r. Barron, of Barton.
With the call is submitted the re-
port of the auditors for the year 1922,
which makes a splendid showing. Re-
ceipts for the year have been over
$4,000, and disbursements have been
over $4,000, the balance on hand be-
ing some over $1,000. According to
this report the Fourth. of July .cele-
bration did not quite pay expenses
but the annual fair showed a profit of
about $1,000. Many permanent i'm
provements have been made on the
grounds, including paint, repairs,
roofing and electric wiring, the ex-
penditures being something like $500.
The Fair association has had two
prosperous years and have put much
into ground improvements which put
the association in splendid shape for
the future There are no debts of
any kind whatsoever, the grounds are
in the best condition for many years
and there is working surplus of
about $500.

EXCHANGE SELLS 262 CARS
Barton Auto Concern Sells More
Cars than any Other Yer
mont Dealer.

The Barton Auto Exchange, with
sales rooms in Barton and Newport
has sold more cars during the past
year than any other automobile deal
er in Vermont, according to informa-
tion just received.
Up to the time of this writing this
concern has sold 262 automobiles in
1922, a record of which the concern
may be proud. The gross business
these sales represents places the Bar
ton concern among the very largest
retail concerns in the country, if not
the largest. Both the Newport and
Barton ends of the business handle
tires, gas. oil and accessories and the
total sales aggregate a sum not far
from $25O,OOO. Probably no other
retail business in the entire county
does a business of a quarter of a
million dollars annually.
Ray P. Webster of Barton is the
business genius behind the Barton
Auto Exchange, but he is ably as
sisted by Fred J. Jarvis of Barton and
Howard Pudvah of Newport. Other
men who have contributed to the
splendid record made by this business
are F. B. Tower of Barton, "ChuOby
Briggs of Newport, and Bert Gee of
Charleston.
The line of cars handled consist of
Chevrolets and Paige-J ewetts prin-
cipally, Though Oaklands and
Nashes were sold to some extent and
nearly every make of car was repre-
sented in sales OF cars taken IN eX-
change. This concern believes that
they have two leading lines in the
Chevrolet and the Paige-Jewett and
they intend to push them more than
ever during the coming year. Chew
rolet territory is Orleans county and
Island Pond while the Paige-Jewett
territory is Orleans and Caledonia
counties and Island Pond.
F. B. Tower leads in sales at Bar
ton with about rs cars, amounting to
around $65,0OO, while H. L. Pudvah
leads at Newport with practically the
same record.
For 1928, Guy S. Albee of East
Hardwick will handle the Paige-Jew-
ett line for the Barton Auto Exchange
in Hardwick and vicinity and plan.
are under way for representation in
st. Johnsbury and Lyndonville
Bert Gee of West Charleston will
look after Island Pond, Charleston
Holland and Morgan, and H. L. Pud-
van Will CIIc 4NSWpOII cIlu DIS
usual with several assistants.
F. j. Jarvis and F. B. Tower will
take care of Barton and vicinity, the
same as during the past season.
The Barton Auto Exchange started
business only four or five years ago
but \ Immediately took first rank
among dealers in this part of Yer
mont and has steadily increased its
business until it ranks first in the
state in the number of cars sold. Ser
vice has been the motto of this con-
Germ and in that one word is told
much of the reason for it's success.

ANIMALS AND NEW YEARS DAY
Oxen, Cows, Sheep, Goats and Plgs
Blessed in Churches of Italy,
Spain and France.

TN ITALY, Spain and France more IL
= made Of New Years day than
Christmas and on st. Sylvester's eve an
the last day Of the year is called the
utmost joyousness prevails. Even the
animals are blessed In the churches
A correspondent who attended one or
these quaint ceremonies, writes:
The priest lifted high the host and
said some words of benediction at
which the people fell on their knees
with q response. An acolyte with q
holy-water sprinkler passed through
the columns Of animals deftly throw
ing the sacred water upon them. The
oxen and COWS were thus blessed first
then the sheep and goats and lastly
the pigs. A moon nearly full gl1ttered
high above the mountain stones and
combined with the light from the can
dies revealed the long, polished horns
and heaving sides and sleek coats or
the oxen and cows and the whits
woolly skins of the sheep. The acolyte
passing among them, incensed them
and their believing, bleating and
squealing arose to tumult. But, high
above all, the voice of the priest was
heard as he chanted these words:
my children, God in his goodness
sends me, his unworthy servant, here
to bless your flocks, according to an
ancient custom Of our mountains, SO
that these animals by whose aid you
live may join In our religious cere-
monies which usher in the New Year.
Let us then sing a loud hosanna OF
praise to the ever-merciful Lord so
lenient to sinners"

Winter Sports for Barton.

What has become of the winter
sports program for Barton? Last year
Barton was one of the pioneer towns
in the state to put across a program
and this year many places are enter
ing into the scheme with enthusiasm
and Barton has been talking Time
for action has arrived, however, and
further postponements must not take
place.
May it be suggested that Winter
Sports Association be formed with a
small membership fee as the associa-
tion have the program in charge. This
would have a tendency to make the
scheme permanent and responsible
officers and committees whereas now
the matter is somewhat loosely nc
organizations business.
Barton has the place and the spirit
for good winter sports program and
there ought to be no further delay
in Starting something"
