Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1882-04-05

We and our better half had the pleasure
recently of spending day with W. q. 6
d. Carleton and their estimable ladies.
We venture TO say there Is no place in our
town, or in the adjoining towns where the |
whole household would do more to make
ones stay pleasant and agreeable than
these people. We find tho elder Mr.. and
Mrs. Carleton very social andl agreeable,
being well posted upon the general news
of the day, rs well as the many minor |
items of interest connected with their
home and its surroundings. while the
younger members of tho family are wide
awake, iovial sort of people, ready 10 do
any and everything to make one feel at
home in their midst. If you want good
time, if you want to see good oxen and
cows, or fine horses, or n nice flock of
sheep; if you want a good feast of the
very incest honey, or a feast from the
sugar orchard. or the test old fashioned
boiled dinner you ever sat down to-one
that will remind you of your mother or
the days you spent upon the farm-give
these people call, should you by chance
pass their way. You will ever find the
latch string out. If you do not find all
and moro than we have enumerated it will
not BIO tho fault of the household. These
people arc not altogether unlike others in
our midst, some of whom we may sneak
of at some future time.
