How rare it is to see a hale, hearty,
vigorous old man like this, who is ad-
vanced in years but is good for many
years more. Too often we see old men
and aged women weak, broken, sickly,
constantly suffering, miserable most of
the time.
They look back upon their early years
with longing, and they look forward
with dread. And yet no matter how
much their constitution may have been
impaired, there is no reason why they
should not live the rest of their days in
health and comparative strength. This
has been done by many in the past, and
Is being done by more to-day. There is
way for those who care to follow it

Next to the deep abiding interest
which every man has in his individual
possessions is the pride and satisfaction
he feels in seeing his town prosper and
its people happy. Too many men, self
ish, in the extreme, are envious of their
neighbours prosperity, and hence we sec
many who patrOnize foreign establish.
ments for every thing they need rather
than buy at home and help their own
town. Many articles that are bought
elsewhere are no better or cheaper than
those offered by home dealers. This
short-sightednes does not permit them
to see that their interests are identified
with those with whom they are continu.
ally coming in contact IN every day af.
fairs of life.
Now it seems to us that man in the
community in which he lives can get
anything good enough for himself with
out sending away to other places for it,
Every resident should take sufficient in
terest in the town in which he lives tC
do his trading and thus keep the money
in circulation in his own community. In
short, if you want to kill town and in
vite hard times to your door, import
everything you can and export as little
as possible. Patronize your home bust
ness men and mechanics, and see what &
difference it will make.

niocenan Convention

The one hundred and first annual con.
vention of Protestant Episcopal churches
met in Rutland Tuesday evening and
closed yesterday. The first evening
services were devoted to sermon by the
Rev. Geo. II. Bailey followed by com.
mittee meetings. Bishop Bissell being
absent (by reason of illness as noted in
another place., the chairman of the con.
vention was the Rev. j. Isham Bliss, d.
D., of Burlington.
The convention elected Thomas II.
Garfield of Burlington secretary, and E.
L. Temple of Rutland treasurer. Mr.
Garfield appointed Fred L. Smith OF
Montpelier, assistant secretary. The
term of Joseph ID. Dennison of West
Randolph as trustee of the Diocese hav.
ing expired, he was reelected.
The convention elected the following
standing committee: Rev. j. Isham Bliss
Rev. Alonzo b. Flanders, Rev. Francis
w. Smith, Cyrus A. Booth, Jabez W
Ellis and Henry Wells.
The newly elected standing committee
held a meeting and reported to the con
ventiOn later The report included reso
buttons adopted by the committee upor
the death of its chairman, Rev, DR.. All
Bailey, and covered some routine bust
ness, but did not mention the Phillips
Brooks matter. The question of con
firming Dr. Brooks election was brought
up, but dropped without action. Thi,
is regarded as equivalent TO refusing as
sent to the election. The committee held
meeting at Burlington two weeks ago
when the Brooks matter was taken up
but action was deferred because of the
absence of one member of the commit
tee.
The bishops annual address was read
by the Rev. DIR. Bliss, and occupied one
hour. 1t referred to the deaths of bish.
ops in the past year, and an extended
mention of the life and work of Rev. DR.
A. II. Bailey was given. The deaths OF
Rev. George G.. Jones, missionary al
Newport, and Rev. n. +. Putnam of Salt
Lake City were also spoken Of. The i'm.
provements in the churches at Brattle.
boro, Bellows Falls, Rutland and Bethel
were noticed. The bishop said that in
the last year he had preached 81 sermons,
celebrated communion 80 times, con.
firmed 3O4 persons and baptized four and
consecrated one church.
The next convention is tO be held in
BrattlebOrO in June 1892.

The Rutllnd Driving Park Association,
whose races come on tie fair ground,
says the Herald, August 4, and o, has
joined circuit known as the Northern
New York and Vermont circuit There
will be four meetings-Islands Park,
Troy, July Il, 10 and 10; Schaghticoke,
July p, % and %; HOosick Falls, July
2S, 90 and 30, and at Rutland the next
week. The purses amount to 5000, and
the purses of the Rutland races amount
to S2l00-about half the whole amount
of the purses of the other three meet
ings. The local association offers four
purses each to the amount of 800, while
Island Park comes next with six purses
of $500 each. This showing put Rutland
in the lead in the amount of the purses.
The members of the Rutland AssOcia-
ton are much elated over the arrange.
ment and believe it will be the means OF
bringing many horses and horsemen tC
Rutland that would not otherwise come
1t is very likely that the same horses
will be entered in all the meetings of the
circuit. The entries to the Rutland races
close July 10 and of the other meeting

CORRESPONDENCE.
our village improvements

NAaAN@N
To the Editor of the BANNER: The dis
cussion over our street improvements
has, it would seem, brought out one i'm
portant fact, and that is that our people
have been too hasty in determining just
what to do. That our boards of trus-
tees have had the best interests of our
village at heart cannot be denied, but in
the very outset more knowledge of just
what ought to have been done ought to
have been obtained. 1t is fault of the
American that he does not deliberate.
He goes at his work in a hap-haZard
manner, and before he gets half through
finds out that he might have done bet
ter. Now in the first place what we
tneed on our street Improvements is the
services of landscape architect.
We are trying to turn an old style viii
| lage into sort of miniature city. Now
the landscape architect will tell us that the
more we can keep to the country village
and still get in those improvements that
our necessities demand the handsomer
village we shall have. "God made the
country; man made the town." The
town, i. g. the city, where it can, keeps
as much of the GOd-made country in il
as possible Where it can save gras,
plot, it does so; where it can avoid the
mechanical straight lines of curbstones il
does so. Rus IN uwbe, the rural aspect o.
the country inside of the city limits, il
what it strives for. A tree, lot O
grass it guards jealOusly, and keep
something of nature with which to sat
isfy the eye of the unfortunate peopl,
who are compelled to constantly liv,
there.
Washington is said to be the handsom
est city on the continent, and its chic
glory is its numerous parks, its squares
its circles, its triangles and its trees ant
grass plots in nearly all its streets
Travel its miles on miles of wide avenue
and streets and nowhere is nature
green absent from your vision for hardl.
a moment. The work of the landscap
architect is visible at every step. Let u
have him here before we go any further
He will save us money. PROGRESS.

Advices from Washington are to the
effect that the Farmers Alliance in the
South and West is not working harmoni-
ously. The Third party element in the
former section is small and the Southern
members of the Alliance oppose the fiat
money scheme. There is GOODNESS be
tween the Southern and Western wings
of the Alliance. This was clearly eX-
hibited by the absence of the Southern
leaders at the recent Cincinnati conven'
ton. The Southern members of the Al
lance generally appear to be of the opinl'
ion that the Third party movement Is
premature. Senator Pugh and Other
Southern leaders are undoubtedly right
in their opinion that the Alliance in the
South will be absorbed by the Demo
cratic party.
