Rev. f. w. Olmstead has asked va
cation until the first of October, as he is
DESTROYS of going to Rochester, N. Y, to
be treated for neuralgia from which he
has suffered so severely the past few
years.
Our community has been unusually
CAV for the last few weeks on account of
the presence of more than the usual num-
Der of friends from other parts visiting
friends here, and also few summer board
ers, who find the climate and the scenery
so attractive as to benefit aud charm
them. 1t would seem that there is only one
thing to prevent this place becoming as
much of summer resort for those who
annually leave the cities for few weeks
as almost any other town in Vermont
and that is a willingness on the part Of
the people to board them for good pay
Certainly there is no place where the
scenery is more beautiful, and with few
exceptions, more grand, than from hills
and mountains of this town and the i'm
mediate vicinity, The drives are no
surpassed. The roads are fine, especially
on the West River and over the hills
and up and down the valleys views arr
an almost perpetual kaleidoscope.
Many of the farmers are through witt
their haying, while others are rapidly
nearing the desired end. The hay crol
on the whole is very fair. Every othe
kind of farm produce is abundant
though little late.
