About twenty couples from this
place attended the reception last eve
ming given by Mr.. and Mrs. Doolittle,
of the Mt. Mansfield House, Stowe.
The guests, as they passed into the
large parlor, were presented by Hon.
L. S. Thompson and very cordially
received by Mr.. and Mrs. Doolittle,
who, we are happy to say, created a
most favorable impression with all.
About 800 plates were laid and the
large dining room filed to overflow
ing and an excellent supper served.
We think Stowe people are to be con-
graduated on the change in the own
ership Of the house, and that the once
resort may again take It's
place among the best in the country,
is the earnest hope of many friends
this way, and with the new manage
ment we see no reason why the result |
may not be brought about. Our Stowe
correspondent will give a full report |
ofthe occasion next week.
Remember the G.. A. r. camp fire |
