VERMONT'S RESOURCES.
THE CONDITION OF THE FARMING
INTERESTS OF TIE STATE.
Statistics Showing Vermont a Good Stat
to Live In.


Says Col. Forbes in the Boston Jour-
nal, under date of the 25lh, ,ult The CEN
aus of 1890 will undoubtedly show a sub
stantial growth of the industrial inter-
ests of Vermont and marked devel
opement of the material resources of the
State during the last decade, The CEN
sus of 1880 showed that there had been
a decided and general increase il the
number of manufacturing establish
ments, in the amount of manufactured
products and in the value of the annual
product since 1860, which facts are
specific refutatiOn of the assertion fire.
quently made that Vermont has suffered
a decadence in it's material interests since
the war. This statement is untrue even
as to the farming industry of the State,
which is now in much more prosper
Gus condition than in ante bellum days.
The facts ascertaIned and published in
regard to the undeveloped agricultural
resources and unoccupied farming lands
of the State by the Commissioner of Ag-
ricultural and Manufacturing Interests
have called public attention to Vermont
and it's natural resources to an extent
never before known.
Inc STATISTICS OF agricultural ana In
dustrial production of Vermont in 1860
and 1880 show that there has been no
such era of material prosperity for the
people of Vermont in the history of the
State. 1t is true that many small hill
farms In the smaller towns have been
abandoned by their original occupants,
their owners having died or removed
with their children to the West. or tp
Eastern cities in search of more profit
able occupations. These so.caled
abandoned" farms are in most instances
in the possession of men of means whose
farms adjoin, or are adjacent to these
deserted farms. There are over so such
farms in both the towns of Wilmington
and Vershire, while other towns SINH.
larly located have greater or less num-
ber. While these unoccupied hill farms
have been depreciating in value from
year to year the valley farms and those
near the larger towns and the railroads
have been increasing in value, On the
whole there has been an increase in
farms, in farm values, in stock and in
the products of the farm since 1860, az
will be seen by the following statistics,
taken from the census of 1860 and 1880

For Christmas and New Year.

We will commence this day and
continue to sell out our entire stock
at cost to close business. We call
special attention to our large stock
of Ladies', Misses, Mems and Boys
Winter Underwear. We want to
turn the stock into cash as soon as
possible. Those looking for bargains,
will do well to call and examine the
stock, for this will be the cheapest
place in town to secure bargains.
This is no penny trick, as we have
positively made up our minds to
quit the business, or we viii sell the
entire stock to a person with the
ready cash. Here ise chance seldom
met with, as this is an old estab-
lished stand, doing a good business
since 1856. Good and sufficient
reasons given for selling.
