HosPIrALlrY. We believe Rutland has The
reputation Of being hospilable in all days except
those Of the State Fair The people Of ' ermon'
do not ask us to giee them all they may "an'
for necessity and comfort, they want far play
and are willing to pay fair prices. show o.
generosity and slight sprinkling of Hospitality
will give our citizens no injury. "Ihe s'ian-
gers heart, o wound it not" means when m
ierpreied, "The strangers purse, o. goage
not" You are Genties and no, Jews =
You live in Rutland and not in "Cha'ham
Street" The people of Vermont do not come
here to speculate and TO make money out ofyou'
Why should you tax your wits to empty 'heH
pocketsl They expend time and money ia
coming to this place to exhibit the products Of
their skill and industry They come on STATE
Holiday, and can fully appreciate fair usage
kindness, and hospitality. Rutland can accom-
modaie and yet lose no money. Our village
will lose nothing in reputation by selling pea
nuts, candy, and small beer, at the usual rates
IL is in the power of few iradesmen, yictnaers'
and hucksiers, to hurt the good name Of WI
lage by their exlorionale meanness. Let all
operations at extorion and overreachlng DO
frowned upon aud put down. Friends from a,
broad must expect to find some ''small potatoes
at the Fair, aud they may also expect that Ros-
land "a large majority cfour citizens ve mean,
will be ready to treat them fairly, kindly, and
HALF Fans. All the Railroads in Vermont
will convey goods and animals 10 the State Far
without charge. They will also convey pas
Iengers, to and from the Fair, for half fare
Remember that.-RutlaHd Herald.
