! left in good old Vermont Yet III our
Vermonters who have gone away could
let their friends remain at home, it would
not be TO our disadvantage, to say the
! least.
Somebody sends us paper from the
West which copies an article from an
Eastern paper, which speaks of ''aban-
doDed FARMS and the western journal
seems to exult in the fact that there are
abandoned farms in the East. We have
in our possession another paper from the
West, one page of which is almost COM
pletely filled with notices of mortgage
| sales of farms and real estate. Some
/ large farms are up at auction on which
/ there is claimed to be less than 800 due
on the mortgage We will let one Yves
tern paper Offset the other. We regret
however, that there is an abandoned
! farm in Vermont whose former occupant,
! perchance, is away out West somewhere,
struggling to relieve himself from a
mortgage debt on his prairie home.

many of Miss Phelps periods were elo-

hearty reception Waterloo, p. g., o.
