NICE IMpRovEMENr.-By the time this
issue of the Home Journal shall reach our
subscribers in Winchester, VT suppose
that Messrs. NJ. {. Whipplc and G. G.
Phillips will be cnsconced in their lately
purchased new house. on the southeast
corner Of the Square, and Il street when
has no name, albeit We have tllhe-aho-
again urged our corporate authorities 10
fake some action in this regard, and have
The streets designated in an appropriate
manner. However, the building was tor
mcrly used by C.. NJ. Farmer. deceased. as
a Cabinet Shop. 1t is two storleSin height,
with Il commOdious cellar, and measures
about 35XGO. Since it was purchased by
the present owners it has been thoroughly
reilttcd, and makes Il most pleasing APP
%uearunce. The room in which MesSrs.
Whipplc d Phillips will have their Drug
Store and the Post-ofice j. 2OXGO, ana Is
finished in II style superior, perhaps 10
any other room in Winchester. The car
p%entcr's work is certainly worthy or
praise, and reflects gLcat credit upon the
mechanics who executed it-Mcssrs. NJ +.
Bos well and Il. A. 5. Farmer. The faith
fulness they have manifested in doing 50
well their undertaking will insure them
the custom Of many others who may need
work in their line.
The plastering has been executed in Il
manner most creditable, and will compare
~favorably with the best workmanship in
this line we have ever seen. The contract
was awarded to Mr.. Michael CLAUS, who
deserves this notice.
The painting is most elaborate, and
worthy Of commentator, and we are
pleased to accord the praise to Messrs. An
derson & Johnson. Mr.. j. II. Anderson.
assisted by Mr.. j. c. LettOn, did most Of
the work. And if you will go and see how
well they have done it, you will know to
whom you ,hould apply for any work in
the painting line.
And now as to Messrs Whipple 4 Phil
lips: MIR. Whipple has been with us for
several years. A more quiet gentleman
never lived in this community. A more
efficient Postmaster we never had. and
this last encomium will be awarded him
by all who know anything of his eminent
qualifications. As a chirOgraplist he has
very few superiors, if any, and us Il book
keeper he could command alarge salary,
we suppose, in any mercantile house of
importance. AS an honorable, h%igh-toned
gentleman we have ever found him fair
in the South" As a%druggist he certainly
must possess eminent qualifications, hay
ing had long experience, both in "A pri waite
capacity and in the army Of the United
States. And under his tuitionour exemplary
and promising young friend, Mr.. Gray
Phillips, has made most rapid advancement
in the art of compromising. Take them
together and 'all in ALL they deserve the
patronage which we hope will be given
them. OF one thing we teel sure, to-wit:
That the public spirit manifested in the
tiXing-up of the building alluded to is
most commendable, and deserves more
comments of praise than we have room to
make in this issue of the journal.
En- pdSSant ne would record that our cN-
ccllent friend Geo. Il. Martin the Jewclcr,
will occupy the adjoining room under the
same roof Of the building in discussion. 1t
is being elegantly fitted up, and will ac-
cord with the elegant jcwcliy, silver and
plated ware winch GEORGE has on hand,
and which, in his new rende%cOaS. will
show to much better advantage, and
mayhap secure the custom lie 50 richly
merits.
