The Manchester JoDrnol complains
that TIE HERALD gobbled up Mr. Til
don'- letter, addressed to the recent Milk
Convention at Bennington. THE HERALD
did no such thing. 1t was handed to
us by the Secretary after the Conycn-
ton. The Convention was held Feb
21th, the letter of Mr. Tildcn was pub
lishtd in the daily and weekly edition Of
Feb. Goth, copy of which the editor of
the Manchester JOugHaL had the same
day, but it was not published in that paper
until the issue of March 21st. This is
slim apology for its non-publication in
the J0urnaJ, or on which to found a
charge Of bad faith against THE HERALD
for ''gobbling it up" in its enterprise.
Its publication under the circumstances.
a month late shows a want of enterprise
on the part of the JournaL Further
more THE HERALD did not boast " that
more milk is sent over the Harlem Ex-
tension from Rutland county, than from
the remainder Of the road, but THE
HERALD did say - if we mistake not,
Rutland county furnishes as much milk
as Bennington county. There is some
difference between much and more.
DR. Lorenzo Sheldon, President of
the Milk Producers Association, and J.
E. McNaughton, Esq, of Manchester,
have gone to New York to ascertain
what can be done to increase the price
paid farmers for milk, and the Manches-
ter Journa1 hopes they may be equally
successful in their efforts to break up
the milk ring. ..
We are glad to learn that Mr.. S. ].
Loop, who has established himself and
has his Office over Landon & Huntoon's
store, on the corner of Freight and Eve
lyn streets, is succeeding well in his un
dertaking of establishing an importing
and wholesale house in Rutland. He
receives Japan and China teas directly
from China under his personal supervi-
sion, and guaranteed free from adulter-
alton. This is an important enterprise
for our town, and should be sustained
by our merchants who buy in large
quantities, and in encouraging Mr..
Loop they encourage Rutland Dealers
in teas in Vermont and northern New
York can get at lower prices and get
better article in Rutland than can be
procured in the city market and save
freight as he receives his stock direct
from San Francisco. Give him a trial
and fully test our assurance on this
point.
