TO CUR PATRONS

We shall commence our annual tour
through the county, next week, for the
purpose of accommodating those of
our patrons who find it more agreeable
to drop into some convenient place

increased the amount of local news
considerably, and shall endeavor in

ways, all of which we duly appreciate.
Our paper is Lamoille County
institution, and will be devoted to her
interests. Its thriftiness will, of
course, depend largely upon the pat
ronage extended, and we are pleased
to say that thus far, we have no reason
for complaint. We shall be at the Post
