ONE GOOD ACT AT LEAST.
Something which Is as True in Wind
ham County as It Is in New York.
From Harper's Weekly

Whether Gov. Hill resigns or retains the
governorship, there is one act of his ad-
ministration which will be regarded with
favor by good citizens of all parties. IL is
his interest IN road making, and his urgent
recommendation that the state of New
York take action 20 secure roads worthy of
her greatness and prosperity. No public
works enhance the reputation and conse-
quently the prosperity, of a neighborhood
sorrromptly and so largely as good roads.
They are the first necessity of civilization
and the surest signs of its advance. Good
roads, good schools, and good government
are closely related, and the proof of saving
public spirit in any community is its will
ingness TO make its local communication as
convenient and easy as possible. There is
no surer sign of intelligence in such a com
munity than the resolution that its local
taxes, which are largely devoted To road
making, shall be spent only by men who
understand that good roads are not made
by ignorance and carelessness, but by in
telligence and experience.

CRETE PA March I6 1891
Dear sir see by The Vermont Phoenix that
you had INV letter of inquiry in regard to "aban-
doned' lands in Vermont published. AS a result,
have letters from farmers all over the state Of
Vermont, holding ont hatterng inducements for
farms TO rent and to settle IN your state, without
solicitation on my part. As the result of what In
formation we have, Mr. Luther Roof and wife
will leave for your state next week to settle in
Windsor county. the first one to emigrate to your
state from this county Indiana hope the good
people Of Perkinsville, Windsor county, will give
them royal reception as they 60 among strang-
ers. ! hope that their going may be the open
door to many of our farmers who are straininR
to make a living. Suffice IL to say Mr.. Roof Is
one of our best citizens, industrious and honest.
Mrs Roof Is a native of New York city, and for
the past year has been the founder and superln-
tendent Of a mission Sunday school IN this county
in one Of our rural districts. Yours truly,
W. H. MCMULLER.
Dear Sir. Twill explain. have some
friends who. like myself are farmers sons. and
u
and little money TO start with. Have read the
report and looked the map Of the state over.
Would like to gain information concerning the
cheap portions, the prices asked by the respective
owners of the abandoned farms which would
come within our means, for instance. ! and two
friends, who are brothers. would like to get farms
adjoining, or nearly so. in the neighbOrhOOd of,
say, IS 10 100 acres of land apiece, with buildings
which could be- made tenable with a small outlay
of money, each place to have as much as % or 30
acres of fair work land, the balance in pasture
and wood land. We are all in favor of this part
of the state tWindham county from the report,
but are willing TO 20 anywhere that offers
chance to work out a home of our own where we
can enjoy the pure country air and the freedom
you could give me information as TO the names Of

An enquiry like this latter one should not
be allowed TO go unanswered 1t is made

tailed information could be furnished in
every such case.
