Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1879-12-08

This is very enterprising, reliable

cts and typographical appearance it is
equal to the best in New England.
There is change of time in the run
ming of the Passumpsic trains, commenc-

Time table next week.
The MONITOR changed its moorings
from the Twombly to the Robinson block
last week. We have very pleasant and
convenient rooms in our new quarters.
and hope to make our paper little bet
ter than it has been before. We were
compelled to take down our press and
have not got it in perfect working order
yet, but expect to be able soon to make
paper, whether it has any other good
qualities or not, that will be equal to
the best in typographical appearance.
Drop in and see US.
