A good many people are calling to inspect Lieut. Walker's new barn these days. This barn, we are told by those who should know, will be, when completed, the equal if not the superior in finish and modern equipment of any in the state. It is 113 feet long and 36 feet wide, and will have two tie-ups, one on each side, the cows facing each other with a walk for feeding purposes between. There will be steel tracks and carriers for handling both feed and manure; the floors will all be of concrete with steel stanchions. Two large silos of glazed hollow tile are already in place. A system of ventilation is being provided, having numerous air shafts connecting with three large metal ventilators on the roof arranged to turn with the wind. The finish of the building, both inside and outside, is excellent and we are told that the cost will exceed $13,000. This barn is being built on what was formerly the John Payne farm, on the road to South Conway, which Mr. Walker purchased some time ago.

School began Monday with Miss Murphy teaching here again.
