John Hicks and family returned to st.
Johnsbury from Minneapolis on Monday.
Mr.. Hicks is one of the few men. who
being satisfied that it was a mistake to
leave comfortable Vermont home for
the West, returns while he can do so
creditably and before he is reduced TO
the last possible extremity. Mr.. Hicks
talks very frankly and sensibly of the
western country, and those who are con-
templating removing to those parts will
do well to hunt him up and talk the mat
ter over. 1t is the old story. His expe-
rience confirms the position we have al
ways maintained. a man with ample
means can get along West as he can any,
where. a man dependent on his own
personal efforts finds as much or greater
competition there than here, expenses of
living much greater there than here and
the general advantages of schools and
society are not for moment to be COM
pared to those enjoyed by the citizen of
st. Johnsbury. When it comes to eli
mate Mr.. Hicks prefers Vermont every
day in the year to Minnesota.-rC aledo-
