From the st. Johnsbury Caedonianl
The Bratt1eboro Phoenix has donned "A
complete new dress of type and has been
enlarged by the addition Of column to
each page with proportionate increase in
the length Of the columns. We join in the
congratulations that are being showered
upon French & Stedman. It is something
of a distinction to be the editor of one of
the best papers in the state and Mr.. French
earned this distinction long since. More
over, the editorial columns of the Phoenix
voice the opinions Of IA man who has the
courage Of his convictions and this en-
forced enlargement may be considered an
evidence of successful independent journal
ism.
