Capt. M. Proctor has moved
his family from here to Gold
Hill to beside for awhile.
There will not be any session
of school at the Barger Scheol
House this summer. The work of
overhauling the present building
and adding a wing to it will soon
begin. It is the purpose of the
committee and patrons to have a
better school service in the future
than they have had in the past
It is to be hoped that the patrons
will respond liberally and make a
beautiful well-kept buildiDg, and
thus offer some inducement to the
children to attend and to have
pride for their "center of educa
tion." No doubt after the build
ing is finished, or in the near fu
ture, the Jr. O. U. A. M., will
raise the stars and stripes and
present this school . with a hand
some Bible, " the ownership of
which any school should be proud.
Mrs. .Elizabeth Barger, nee
Brown, was born April 5, .1837
and departed this life July 24
aged 70 years, 3 months and 19
days. Mrs. Barger was the wife
ot Andrew career, ot tnis com
munity, and was one of the old
est ladies in the neighborhord
She was married to Mr. Barger
many years ago and to this happy
union four children were born,
two preceded her to the grave,
when in their infancy, and two
are living, Messrs. Paul and Thos
Barger. Mrs. Barger was baptized
in her infancy in old Union
church, later she connected her
self with St. Peter's church, of
which she has been a regular and
consistent member up to her
death. Her death was caused by
paralysis, of which she has been a
fpp&drer for three years, during
which time she has often prayed
for death to relieve her of her
suffering. Although in feeble
health her death was not looked
for so earlv. Last Wednesday
morning she suffered a stroke
which r3ndered her unconscious
and from which she never rallied,
dying at three o'clock in the af
ternoon. She was laidlio rest on
Thursday at two o'clock in t.
Peter's cemetery, Rev. J. A. Linn
officiating. We mourn, but net
as those who have no hope.

V 1 July 29th
This section wasTvisited; by a
wind storm which blew the corn
down and left it in bad shape.
Henry Kesler is improving and
we he po to see him up and about
in a short time.
Mrs. M. J. Cauble has rented
her farm to Jas. Horah.
It is a bad trait in a man who
wilL abase, curse and accuse a
woman of wronging him out of
his part of a crop when he is t by
and helps divide the crop in the
field. We have such men around
here.
Gee 1 But didn't Bro: Lee spread
himself. He mustrbe an expan
sionist. He startsi a long lecture
and aia, subject selects yours
truly, Bro. Bartlette. Well, he
has hit th ) wrong nail. Of course
Lee can express his views, but
when he quotes us we want him
not to misconstrue our meaning.
We say it again, the farmer will
not stick as a body. How about
the farmers alliance? We' did the
farmer no injustice when we said
he could be the backbone of -the
world. We still say it and more,
if he would only hold together
Ke could be as strong, or stronger,
than any other combine in the
world. Now Bro. Lee has very
grossly insulted every farmer by
savins he is looked upon asa
"weak and ignorant degraded
class" by some people. Anybody
that is anything or has any prin
ciples himself, does not belong to
that class. As far as making corn
and wheat by machinery, from
what we can learn our big farms
are practically run by machinery
in some form. Reapers, mowers,
cultivators, harrows, disc plows
and steam plows in places. As
tor our daily Dread, anyone
knows, Lee and most of us, like
white flour and of course go to
the bsst improved mills. So of
course it takes the farm and ma
chn.ery to get the bread. The
farmer can live in a mansion, he
can wear tha best of clothes, and
have money in the bank. Of al
human beings the farmer could
and should be the strongest body
of men in the worid if he would
only hold together. He could
control the cotton and other farm
produce. As it is, he takes what
he can get for his produce, Bro.
Lee , ;r mistake when he
says that we tried to organize
taresmng men a union we were
not the originator of that scheme,
but can name the parties, if it be
necessary. The farmer should
live honest and all that, and
should fullnil the scriptures. We
too know he earns his breadby
hard work and sweat, and should
not be ashamed to offer thanks,
but how many ever think of this?
There are some who do, and some
who do not. Bartlette.
We
uauc8ribaJb..tbe papers are
giving as in excuse for the farmers
not 'taking ; their blackberries to
town, that they were alarmed
about a false report of a $50 fine
for Belling berries in. Salisbury.
This is a mistake, the farmer has
only ,leajjnedc that it pays best to
eat what he can, and can what he
can't, v. ; . '
