What delightful road from Greenfield
to North Adams. with its mountains inter
spersed with long meadows like those i'm
Deeriield. which you can reach by car or
a carriage drive of three miles from Green
field, going under Cheapside bridge which
crosses the Deeriield river. a drive made
very enjoyable by its variety of scenery.
One of these meadows could easily be cut
into 10 farms Of 30 acres each of excellent
land. just beyond this long fiat, and at
the extreme end OF the village, stands
large, irregular farmhouse, owned and oc-
cupied by Ebert Amidon. man of II,
and his family. His brother Solomon, who
lives with him. is 50. and there are two
brothers living in this vicinity still older,
one over 80, men well known here for their
integrity and good example. Mr.. Amidon
sent us back after his family horse, which
is 30 years old, and which took us the three
miles in 30 minutes without breaking its
trot from home to Sanborn block in Green
field, without word Of urging.
Deerfield, Rowe. and these mountain vii
lagos are filled with summer boarders. Then
comes the novel ride through Hoosac Tun-
mel and then on to North Adams, where
you take the electric car for Adams. a dis
lance of six miles. travelled in - minutes.
At this season the car is open. and one
feels that not even flying could exceed in
pleasure this mode of travel Surely we
need not cross the ocean to see beauties of
nature when we have so many i'm our own

The following Chicago despatch to the

interest to many in this vicinity in cOnnec-

rangements have been made for the sale of
the Chicago Times to L. ii. II. Green. son
of the famous Hetty Green. and three
prominent newspaper men. The details of
the method of conducting the newspaper
will be formed at a meeting TO be held in the
city next Saturday. The paper is to be
called the Times-World. Mr.. Green abso-
lutely refuses to name the gentlemen with
whom he is connected. Two of my asso-
ciateS in this venture, he said. ARE at
the heads of powerful New York dailies,
while the third is occupying a responsible
position upon Chicago newspaper Con-
sequently they object to having their
names known. We probably shall pur-
chase the Chicago Times and transform il
into triple city paper. That is, We shall
devote one page to New York news. tele-
graphed verbatim from one of the principal
metropolitan papers. and one page to Bos-
ton news, obtained by telegraph in the
same manner. We shall build up the sub
scriptiOn of the paper by the aid of the
Fasteners who visit Chicago during the
worlds exposition. / think we can pub
lish the first paper for about S400, 600.
That much will pay for the building and
the plant. Then We shall have upon our
staff the very best editors. writers and re-
pOrteTs We can obtain. We shall not try
to get the circulation away from the other
Chicago papers. We are of the opinion
that triple city paper is something the
public will support, and we can sell the
paper for five cents. The paper will not
