The Railroad Co. will put a gang of
men at work soon over on the east
side of Crystal Lake, experimenting
in the granite lodges, to see if they can
find stone suitable for culvert and bridge
purposes. If so, barge will be built, and
stone will be brought across the lake and
| loaded on to the cars near the engine
house. If the stone proves useful large
amount will be quarried. We understand
that the depot will be repaired and put in
a more wholesome and respectable condi-
| ton during the fall
Our esteemed correspondent, w. III.
| Holmes, furnishes US with an interesting
| letter descriptive of his visit to the Vir-
ginia battlefields, which is published to-
day. 1t will be followed by one or more
| letters. 1t will be pertinent to state here
| that we have been making arrangements
! for the publication of quite large num-
Der of war sketches by well-known YER
mont soldiers, some of which we now
have in manuscript. They will be pub
lished during the fall and winter months,
and will be of great interest to our read
| erS.
Our agent, Mr.. King, will be at the fair,
and we hope large number OF our sub
scribers who are in arrears will pay up
and start in anew on the advance plan.
| While we shall not be able to furnish the
Tribune, Journal and some other papers
at give away rates for the coming year,
we shall give our subscribers several club
! papers at very low rates. All who pay
now, or between this and Jan. l, for the
year 1889. will be entitled to the privilege
of having one or more papers through our
clubbing at as low rates as we can
obtain.
There are without doubt about twenty
| persons in this town who knowingly vot-
ed the prohibition ticket. They are not
only temperance men, but they believe in
| the enforcement of the prohibition law.
During this week, while the fair is on us,
there will be opportunity for them to
show that they are not only sincere in
their opinions and pretensions, but that
! they have the courage of their convictions.
If they will lend a helping hand to some
WIN NOGc Will GllC Olu
parties, it will be possible to keep the
bad element of the fair from getting
| drunk. Now, friends, show your hands.
We do not remember a season when the
rainfall in August and September was as
heavy as it has been the present season.
Taking the poor harvest weather with
the killing frosts the injury to crops is
| immense. The streams are high, the
ground is soft with water, and all kinds
of farm work is hindered and behind
hand. The hay crop was good, land those
who struck early and struck hard secured
it in good condition. Potatoes are re-
ported fully up to the average in yield and
good quality. The grains are badly hurt,
and corn, except for fodder, is a failure
beans, and all tender vine vegetables are
a failure.
