John L. Barr
This is the birthday anniversary of John L. Barr, one of the representative citizens of Richland county. Mr. Barr was for several years editor of the Butler Enterprise, which he sold to engage in business in Mansfield. He conducted a tea store on South Main street and later a music store. About two years ago Mr. Barr sold out his interests, since which time he has been devoting himself to the mining and lumber interests. Mr. Barr has extensive lumber and mining interests in Tennessee, where he spends much of his time. He has traveled much and has written of his journeys for the News.
