has issued two suggestive circulars.

large number will be present in Aug.
They truly say that ''Vermonters can
not visit too often the old Green Noun
tain hills Of their childhood, and this
occasion is the opportunity of life
time and the event of century" This
is followed by the historic poetry, "Ho
all to the borders" etc., not forget
ting the ''Deerskin" and '.brown," so
familiar to our ears. The annual meet
ing was held June 2nd. Forty-one
new members had been added during
the year. An excursion to Bennington
