FAIRHAvFy.

we mere, WIN most people In THIS latl-
tude, are preparing ourselves to part with
an old friend, one who has at times been
very kind and again has shown us no mercy |
but has beaten us numerically In our face
and eyes. We part with him much rs the |
boy parts with rich uncle when he Is to
get the money with tears of joy. A three |
year old saw some bare ground aud says
Papa, what Is that so black p So you |
must imagine the beautiful snow has been |
with us SO long that 1t is not quite so beau- |
tiful but we are willing to let it CO.
The party lash is being applied here |
without stint and we are instructed not to |
bolt. You must take the whole ticket, |
without why or wherefore. THE GLOBE |
Is a democratic paper, you better take the |
HerdM. BY this | am reminded of an old |
saw, "there should be some honor amongst |
thieves" If The GLOBE is democratic
paper because it proposes to be honest, tell
facts and only facts, / rather that than to
have it on each side, top and bottom, of
every question and settle on the side of the
largest pile of money. 1t appears we have
had too much of this kind of bosh for a
thinking people like Nermonters. 1t is too
thin.
The reduction of freights by the Central
Vermont in our state has already shortened
the faces of our slate men and they begin
to look more cheerful then for the past five
years. The managers of the Central Yer
mont have won themselves honor and us
untold good. We owe debt of gratitude
to Gov. Smith and Mr.. Mills, which we
hope to repay by increasing the income of
the road go much that they may be assured
that in helping us they have helped the
road they have charge of. We will ever
remember them with the llveliest gratitude.
Our graded school closed its first year
last week. The pupils showed such marked
improvement that no one thinks of regret
| ting the expense we have been to in start
! ing this system. We have had a good
school committee and they have given us
| good schools. Give us the same commit
tee another year, with the same teachers,
and we will have another good school year.
! Let me ask the 200 families who weekly
read The GLOBE in this district to think of
| it and be at the next school meeting. and
insist that the same committee be elected
aud be allowed to carry out what they
have so nobly begun.
We expect considerable change in real
estate here this spring.
We have no very large hens here. but
expect some bouncing eggs when old Sol
warns the ground and shows the gravel.
One of your Fairhaven correspondents,
Tuesday evening, went across the line into
New York to help make one out of two.
| shall expect to see very handsome NO
tice of the wedding from his pen, and when
bis time comes will do the best can for
him. ;.
