MONEY ORDER BUSINESS.

Or only 52B more than this office. On
the other hand Bennington paid only
545 orders, while Rutland paid 741 or
ders. This shows that money is flowing
into the Marble city and it is going out
of our village. The great bulk of the
orders drawn were on Troy, Albany and
New York, showing that our people are
trading out Of town. No wonder that
the towns growth is slower than its
neighbors. and will continue to be so
until the volume of money stays at
home. In the above statement of Ben
