slaughter but Was Put on

j It will be noted that all numbers in
the course are scheduled for Thurs
day and Friday nights which nights
have been considered best for the
general public.
The Orpheus Four appeared in
Barton in last year's course and was
received with great enthusiasm. This
number as well as the famous Dr.
Conwell need no introduction to a
Barton audience. The other numbers
are equally good, Glenn Frank being
associate editor of "Century Maga
zine" while the other two concert
companies are of the highest order.
The course is one of the most ex
pensive ever brought to Barton and
is certainly one of great merit.
Course tickets will be $2 plus war
tax, single admission 50c plus war
tax.
Humphrey will resume her hospital
work for a time. Congratulations.

Homer M. Leonard.
On Wednesday, Sept. 10, a tele
gram was receive!, telling of the
death of Homer M. Leonard ,at Uno,
Manitoba, from broncho-pneumonia,
the result of German gas.
Homer Maurice Leonard was born
in Barton. July 11, 1887, the second
son of Elmer L. and Leona (Leland)
Leonard, one of a family of- eight
children and this was the first break
in the family circle, the youngest be
ing 16 years of age. He was edu
cated in the public school and took
up farming as an occupation. In
September, 1909, when quite young,
he went to Missouri, and a year later
he went with his brothers, Ralph and
Reid, to the Canadian northwest for
the harvest season. From there he
went to Pasadena, Calif., where he
spent the winter, returning by the
way of the Northwest, where he
spent the second harvest season be
fore coming home. In 1912 he went
to Westmore where he made his home
for nearly four years. While there
he made many friends and united
with the Congregational church and
was superintendent of the Sunday
schooL
When the call came for men to go
to the front, he left his work and
went to Fort Ethan Allen, where he
enlisted June 30, 1917, staying there
until September. He was then trans
erred to Westfield, Mass., where he
was in training until Oct. 3, when he
sailed for France on the R. M. S
Aura nia, with the 26th Division, be
ing a wagoner in the ammunition
train until the armistice was signed.
He was made corporal June 2, 1918,
and was always found ready to to
do his duty, no matter how near the
front nis train was called. He ar
rived in Boston April 23, and partici
pated in the parade of the famous
26th Division in Boston April 25th.
He received his dicsharge April 29th
and arrived home April 30th. Again
when the government called for men
to go to the Northwest for the har
vest season, he left his work and
with his brother, Harvey, left August
12 and worked in the wheat fields un
til the 9th of September. On that
day he was sent to a gravel pit for a
load of sand and not returning as
soon as expected friends went to look
for him. He was found in an uncon
scious condition and taken to a hos
pital where everything was "done for
him that could be, but he died at 4.30
o'clock the next morning. On Thurs
day morning the brother, Harvey,
who was with him, started on the
long trip home with the remains, a
distance of 1700 miles, arriving here
on the L20 train, Sunday, Sept. 14.
Prayer was held at the house Mon
day, and the funeral service was at
the church at Brownington Center
and was largely attended. Many of
his soldier friends from his company
were present. The Rev. Kent, a pro
fessor at Yale college, who has spent
several summers at Willoughby lake
and who was a personal friend of the
deceased, spoke words of comfort to
the relatives and friends, and he was
laid to rest in the family lot at
Brownington Center, the five broth
ers acting as bearers.
Homer leaves to mourn his loss his
parents, five brothers and two sisters,
Lawrence of Sheffeld, Ralph of Wil
loughby, Reid of Derby Center, and
Ruth, Harvey, Roy and Grace,
who are at home, besides many rela
tives and a host of friends, as he al
ways won friends wherever he went.
Card of Thanks We wish to ex
tend our heartfelt thanks to all who
were so kind in rendering aid and
comfort in our great bereavement, for
the beautiful flowers and letters sent
in love for the departed, the singers
from the Westmore church, the
Brownington Center friends for the
work at the church and grave, also to
the people in the Far West who con
tributed so much to the comfort of
the sorrow stricken brother for his
trip home.
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Leonard,
and family.

went down to defeat at the hands of
Newport on the Skinner Athletic field
in Orleans Wednesday afternoon, the
score being 7 to 6, Newport thereby
winning 75i of the $200 purse offer
ed by Orleans.
Many Newport, Orleans and Bar
ton places of business closed for the
afternoon and cars from North Troy,
Derby Lane, Lyndonville. St. John-
bury and as far south as Woodsville,
r. 11 were in evidence, as well as
from most of the towns in this part
of the state, Orleans ticket - men.
state that about 1800 people were
present so that the $200 guaranteed
they made was taken at the gate and
a snug sum cleared for an Orleans
team in 1920.
Rooters for both sides had plenty
of chance to exercise their lungs as
both sides were ahead at different
periods of the game.
Lee pitched a good game for Bar
ton but was hit at critical times and
was rather raggedly supported.
Though it is always easy to play a
lost game differently, and win, af
terwards, many believe a change in
the Barton line-up would have proved
much more effective.
Though losing the" final game to
Newport Barton - has made more
scores against Newport than New
port has made against Barton and is
anxious to meet her again next sea
son. As to cold feet, Newport now ad
mits, after winning- the final game,
that its feet are comfortable, fox
which Barton is thankful, since it has
never suffered from the trouble but
knows such a condition is very un
comfortable for the ailing ones.
Wells never pitched a better game,
keeping the hits well scattered and
fanning Barton men at critical plac
es. .

Peerless Business Booming.
The management of the local fac
tory of the Peerless company states
that business was never so promising
as at present. Ten new hands were
take on last week and many more are
needed to produce the volume of bus
iness necessary to nil orders on nana.
In fact, the factory would find it diffi
cult to turn out the work now booked
in six months time, not to mention
future orders from nine salesmen.
