Charles J. Ufford, one of the oldeRl and most widely known residents of Barton, died on the morning of July 4th, aged 82 years. Mr. Ufford was born in Glover in April, 1837. He was the son of Thomas Jefferson and Sophia (Cutler) Ufford, who in their turn were children of original settlers of Glover, Michael Ufford and Nathan Cutler.

Michael Ufford was a descendant of Thomas Ufford, the first of the family, who came to this country from England presumably from the township of Ufford in the county of Suffolk and landed at Boston in the year 1632. The Uffords were originally Earls of Suffolk, and one of the family, Thomas de Ufford, was governor general of Ireland in the 12th century. Charles J. Ufford was a self-made man. He left home at the age of 17 years, with only such education as the local school at West Glover afforded, and went to Charleston, where he lived for a time in the family of Daniel Parlin, who ran a blacksmith and carriage shop there.

It was at Charleston with Mr. Parlin that he learned his trade and laid the foundations of his business career. At the outbreak of the Civil war he enlisted with his brother, Edward, in Co. of the 6th regiment of Vermont Volunteers and saw active service with the Union army for three years. After the war Mr.

Ufford "married Mary L. Wiggin, a daughter of Parker Wiggin, and located in the town of Barton, where he founded the carriage manufacturing business by which he was most widely known. He was a pioneer in this field and from small beginnings built up and maintained for 30 years the largest business of the kind in the state. It was always his pride to make his work the best that sound materials and intelligent and conscientious labor could produce. As conditions changed anothe cheaper products of the western factories came into the field, Mr.

Ufford closed up his carriage business and in partnership with Robert Ritchie, went into the lumber business at Greensboro. The mill having burned, Mr. Ufford sold his interest to Mr. Ritchie and went West to join his son, W. C.

Ufford, who was engaged in the same business on a large scale in Spokane, Wash. During the next few years Mr. Ufford made several trips back and forth to and from the West, but finally returned to Barton and spent his last years here. Blindness and deafness came upon him as he approached four score but he maintained his pristine vigor and cheerful Booklet, "The Green Mountains of Vermont," Tells of Local Scenery. The Vermont Publicity Bureau, under direction of the secretary of state has issued another handsome booklet, in which the mountains, of the state are exploited in word and picture.

The book is a handsome one containing 75 pages and 50 pictures of Vermont mountain scenery, and is for free distribution to those persons interested in the state by addressing the secretary of state, Harry A. Black, at Montpelier. The section of the book speaking of the scenery in this part of the state reads as follows: "The most conspicuous mountain in northern Vermont is Jay peak which may be seen from a considerable portion of northern Vermont and from southern Quebec. It is situated in two counties, Orleans and Franklin; and four towns, Montgomery, Jay, Richford and Westfield, meet near its summit. The town of Jay, named in honor of a distinguished statesman, John Jay, has given its name to the mountain.

Its altitude is 3,861 feet, and its location six miles south of the Canadian border. The view from the summit of Jay peak is magnificent and is one of the most extensive to be found in eastern America. Owing to the comparatively level area of the eastern part of Canada, on a clear day one may see the Montreal and Ottawa valleys, thes highest Canadian peaks of the East, the mountains beyond the St. Lawrence, the mountains around the headwaters of the Connecticut river, the Chaudiere and Androscoggin valleys, the Presidential range of the White Mountains, the northern Green Mountain peaks, almost the entire length of Lake Cham-plain with the Adirondacks beyond, the Richelieu river from the point where it receives the waters of Lake Champlain until it empties into the St. Lawrence, Lakes Willoughby and Memphremagog, and a great number of lakes, rivers and villages.

"The region extending south from Jay peak to Mount Mansfield is a mountainous country. Norris mountain in Eden is a rocky and jagged elevation. Belvidere mountain, partly in Eden and partly in Belvidere, contains important asbestos deposits and from its summit extensive views of Lake Champlain and the White Mountains are afforded. "The Hogback range, so-called, a part of the Green Mountain system, extends through the towns of Elmore and Worcester. Mt.

Hunger is partly in Worcester and partly in Middlesex. Much of the famous Woodbury granite is quarried from Robeson mountain in Woodbury. "There are several commanding mountains in Essex county, some of them near the Connecticut river. Mon-adnoc mountain in Lemington, 3,025 feet high and a mass of granite, affords a magnificent view up and down the Connecticut valley with the White Mountains forming an impressive It has ben said that from the summit of Byron mountain in Maidstone, the windings of the Connecticut seem to spell the word Union. Notch mountain in Brunswick is 2.240 feet in height.

"The town of Victory literally is 'girt round with rugged These include Mount Tug and Miles mountain on the eastern and southeastern borders; Round mountain in the northern part on the line between Granby and Victory; Kirby mountain on the southwestern border, partly in Kirby; and Burke mountain, partly in Burke on the western border. A few miles west of the Connecticut river, the Vermont hills attain a considerable altitude and afford wonderful views of the White Mountain range, and the broad river valley in the foreground." Mr. and Mrs. W. S.

McDowell motored to Morrisville and Eden one day last week. Mrs. W. Lamb and children, who have been visiting at F. S.

Foster's for several weeks, have returned to their home in Fassett, Canada. The supper at the church Wednesday evening netted the ladies about $16. Much credit is due the committee, Mrs. Heath and Mrs. Stetson, for the remarkably delicious supper which was served.

T. Crow's Sunday. (Continued on Page Eight). the town of Barton and its various divisions is interesting to show that the material interests of the town are gradually increasing. The figures are as follows 1918 1919 $22,439.35 Total town Town, outside corporations 5,776.65 8,370.80 7,877.55 4,566.90 9,093.40 8,364.70 5,818.35 8,405.05 8,215.95 3,836.55 9,800.40 8,802.40 Barton village Orleans village Town school Barton school Orleans school Polls 947 927 The decrease in the town school grand list is due to taking into the incorporated districts of Barton and Orleans certain territory.

The town district will not pay tuition under the new arrangement on several hieh school pupils which it has had to do heretofore. The slight decrease in polls is un doubtedly due to the fact that many young men were exempt this year on account of military service, who were listed for polls last year. BARTON LOCAL NOTES Mrs. A.

a verv nrpt.r.v nlnrp in but not much to see. Wednesday, May 18th, we were again on our way to Archangel and were making good time until at midnight of the next day we got into an ice pack and couldn't make any headway. The ice was from five to ten feet thick. We turned around and tried several different places to get through, but had to give up. We went out nearly every day to take a look at the ice and it kept us waiting nearly two weeks before we could make a new start.

We reached Russia the last of May, about the 30th, and anchored in a river. Went ashore but did not see much except a large church built by Peter, the Great, also a log cabin he lived in. The American troops were very pleased to see us come into port. They yelled until they were hoarse. Our ship was the first American ship to pull through the We are having fine weather here now, about the same as Vermont, only that the days are longer.

We have the sunshine from 16 to 18 hours every day. The boys went ashore today and had a parade. They looked fine from the ship, all in white. I was on watch, so stayed at home, or all the place we have to call home. I had my first letter from Vermont June 4th.

I had not heard since March. June 4th we had a dance on board ship and the army band furnished the music. There were about 50 Russian girls aboard. They were fair dancers but don't talk much. Why? Maybe they will after they learn to talk The Americans are liked by everyone up here now.

The Bolos will, walk away rather than fight. They even told the Americans at the front in cold weather to build some huts to keep them warm and not to worry, that they would not trouble them. If you think the cost of living is high in America you ought to live here. Milk is 75 cents per quart and flour they can't buy. Sugar is $3.00 a pound and 10c cigars are $1.00 each.

Now I will close. I hope you are all well and happy. Love from Varnum J. Abbott. U.
