This Company have now over $4,000 uncon-
dtionaI SUBJ cIiptIon to their capital stock. They
also have offers from large towns to take 90 to
$50, 900 more if they can thereby secure the Com
pany's farm within their town. The present cap
ital Of the Company is enough to ensure the
farm and four or five best stations ready for use
by the LIST OF April 1871. Bus sl00 900 to 900 600
is needed to start and continue to make the en-
terpriss what it should be, viz. the leading horse
breeding farm in America and every way d credit
to Vermont
To raise this amount of capital we must get
from $500 to $500 stock taken in each and every
town. Canvassers are now at work for this pur-
pose. They will call on all who raise horses or
take an interest in them. Farmers and Horse
men think of this enterprise carefully and be
ready to do your share toward it. You stand in
need Of such an establishment, and a little help
from all Is necessary that the enterprise may be
every way successful.
Remember that stakeholder is in no danger
of an assessment and for 800 stock he gets best
stallion, for string colt free, that be had
in the whole land, better than be had else
where for 800 by the season. RecOlect too that
the farm is not bought or located, yet one an
imal. Ii you become a stakeholder now, you have
a voice in all this.
Inc Qeslgn OF Ile movers Is 10 nave the 5tOck
scattered over the entire State.
The stations will stand in different localities to
accommodate the stockholders. None will have
to make long journeys with their mares. Do not
get the idea that if the farm is not you that
you may have to travel long distance to reach
the stations Neither should you entertain the
notion that 800 stockholder can have no infu-
ence, for nine out of ten will own but 500 stock
each.
Again we say think the matter over thoroughly
to be prepared to act. A little from all and there
will be capital enough, aud the movement will be
strong and efficient.
MORE IMPROVEMENTS We, under
the head of improvements, would notice
those which Mr. John n. Baxter has been
making on his premises on Cottage street
His residence, formerly a fine one, has
had the old fat roof torn off, and is now
surmounted by stylish one Of the Man
sard pattern, ornamental in appearance
and adding one story in height to its size
Besides this the residence has undergone
a general remodeling in it's interior ar
rangements, and what in this respect
with the numerous coats of paint applied
to it's exterior, and the manner in which
he has improved his grounds and out
buildings, Mr.. Baxter has one of the
finest residences in our village.
AS to the improvements being made
by Gen. II. H. Baxter, none are more
commendable than that undertaken and
nearly completed by him of raising the
bridge of "tan-yard brook" north of hi:
premises, and raising and grading the
highway on either side of this bridge
Hitherto, in high water, the bridge has
been in danger of destruction, and the
road thereabouts at all times sloppy il
times of heavy rains and sometimes al
most impossible. But there is an end tc
such state of affairs, aud those who have
to pass over the road will at least thank
Gen. Baxter for his public spirit il thil
connection.
