The inside pages of the Phoenix will
scarcely be recognized in their arrange
ment this week. 1t is a time when bust

seventh pages is entirely given up to local
affairs.
There have been received at The Phoenix
Job printing Office this week more than 100
new styles of engraved, Autographed and
embossed folders and cards for invitations,
programs, and similar work for social and
other gatherings. Many of these speci-
mems are choice works of art. 1t is a sur
prise to see the progress made in this di-
rection year by year, and this year the i'm
provement is more marked than ever.
1t is unnecessary to call attention to the
attractive character of our advertising col
nmns this week. \ display of local adver-
tisements, all of them new, and fitted to
the time, like that which we present to-
day, speaks for itself of the enterprise of
Brattleboro merchants. All persons who
come to the Valley fair next week NAV
rest assured that the stocks of goods 10 be
found in the various stores are equal in
every respect to the representations made
in regard to them.
Wonderful are the sights revealed by the

form, in an advanced state of fermenta-
ton.

ed a heavy load OF boards The team was
left standing near Young's store and near
ly in the rear of the Valley Mill company's

The Rutland Herald published on
Wednesday reports from Washington in
regard to the inspection of the post-otiices
in the larger towns in Vermont. The re-
port says of the Brattleboro office: The
well-known success of BrattlebOro's enter
prising postmaster, +. w. Childs, is an en-
couraging illustration of what may be ac-
complished by persistent effort in well do
ing, and now the town rejoices in an en-
tirely new office costing $500, an abund-
Client carrier service, additional mails, new
stamp agencies and many other substan-
tial improvements due alike to the post
master and his valuable corps of fellow
workers.
The g. c.'s brains bagged at his ears so
badly last week that he delivered himself
to the extent of third of a column on the
"A. b. C.'s of journalism for his own per
sonal delectation. The mans self-adula-
ton is something phenomenal. lie forgot,
however, to say anything about that Hins-
dale bridge item, about which we were so
anxious to have information. We pre-
sumo it was in accordance with his idea of
1.-THE ideal country newspaper to refer,
as he did last week, to the address of
President Gates of Amherst college as
1.-THE finest ever heard on an educational
subject without giving a line of it,
while The Phoenix printed the noble and
inspiring effort in full. The e. G. instead
devoted his space to plate matter at l.20
a page. 1t is very well for the c. C., under
its own standard of journalism, to run
personal drivel and alleged local matter. for
count of items, but the Well-edited and
newspapers of today are not do
ing things that way. 1t is amusing to see
how sensitive the e. c. has grown since he
fell to the tail end of the newspaper pro-
cession and began his grand scramble to
keep up.
