LOCATING THE STATE FAIR.

The locating committee of the
state fair association and President
George w. Hooker of Brattleboro
came here last Friday afternoon.
The committee consisted of. c. Par
ker of Quechee, H. G. Root of Ben
nington and Henry Chase of Lyndon.
ground company took them to the
fair ground and showed them the
grounds The favorable location of
St. Johnsbury and the chance for
large gate receipts here were pointed
out to the committee. No vote was
taken on the subject, but some of the
committee were frank enough to say
that they considered White River
Junction a better location, and if the
fair did not go there it would un-
doubtedly come here. The Rutland
Herald says there is a scheme to
merge the state fair and state breed
ers' association into one company
with a capital stock of $25, 900. If
this is done the joint society would
probably meet over the other side of
the state every year. AS was an
nOunced i'll these columns last week
there is little enthusiasm for the state
fair here anyway. Most of the citi-
zens feel that county fair and breed
ers' meeting is enough for one town.

A VICTORY MILL BURNED.

Charles Wells lumber mill at Vic
tory was burned to the ground Sat
urday evening. The fire started
about 7 O'Clock and within an hour
the mill was entirely destroyed. The
fire probably caught from a hot box
underneath the building. The lum-
Der around the mill was saved by the
workmen, though this and Mr. Wells
house might have burned had it not
been for the rain. The mill was in
sured for $500 and the machinery
for $500 by Moore & Co of ST.
Johnsbury in the Queen, Granite
State and New England companies
The loss above the insurance will be
$500. Mr.. Wells says he will rebuild

THE WAY 1T STRIKES A SOUTH
AMERICAN.

Walter G. Davis, who went from
Danville IA years ago to the Argen-
tine Republic, gave this office pleas
ant call on Monday last. This is his
second visit to his old home since he
entered the government service in
this progressive South American re-
public. He left here strong protec-
ZIONIST but has since found out that
with our present Chinese wall of high
protection it is next to an impossible
ity for the United States to build up
much trade with the South Ameri-
can States. He thinks the rev olution
in Brazil may not have been so easily
accomplished as the dispatches indi-
cate as all the accounts are sent out
by the revolutionists and probably
colored somewhat The constitution
and many of the laws of Argentine
Republic were copied from the United
States

WHY THE FARMERS SHOULD GIVE
THANKS.

This week issue of the New Eng
land Farmer has comprehensive re-
view of the year among the farmers
of New England, and all the CORES
pOndentS report a cOntented feeling
A Barton Landing correspondent
says the only dissatisfaction there is
the high price of labor, but every
thing considered the season has been
prosperous one to the farmers in
that locality. J. A. Kidder of East
Hardwick gives some good advice on
the forestry question in the following:
I'VE have no lands in this town for
foreign cOlonists at one or three dol
lars an acre, although real estate is
low. The best course to pursue with
a large per cent of the so-called
abandoned lands of Vermont would
be to allow them to return to forests.
In fact as far as my observation ex-
tends they never ought to have been
cleared. Cultivate the valleys and
let the trees grow on the rocky
ridges One feels encouraged to
read such reports as these from all
over New England.
