Among the Green Hills and Along the
Shores of Lake Champlain.
Vermont is State that luckily has
escaped the blighting influence of the
boomer While she has been fortunate
in this respect, she has, perhaps, been
retarded in development by the too con-
sentative spirit heretofore displayed by
her citizens in a lack of judicious adver-
Using. The people of Vermont now see
the necessity of making the resources
and advantages of the State known to
the public. Its physical features are
varied, unique and wonderful. But,
after all, the most striking feature of
this State is the decided abandon with
which nature has lavished her choicest
gifts. No region in the world has re-
ceived equal recognition at her hands.
On mountain, and in vale, on hill and
plain, there flourish in superbundance
those well springs of life-giving, age-re-
newing attributes that can be found
nowhere else.
Emerald pasture lands, where thou
sands of cattle Craze and get themselves
in a sacrificial condition to supply the
people with food, where mobile flocks
supply the woody fleece for mans ap-
parel, where stapel grains that feed the
world spring from the prolific soil at the
waving of labor's wand. And where
does earth reveal a region with a more
abundant variety of vegetation and more
prolific of its fruit and flowers? Wood
ed hills and mountains, the growth of
centuries, deepen the shadow of the
landscape; a combination of fertile land
and waving forest, green pasture and
limpid stream, make delightsome
scenery TO be seen in its perfection no.
where else.
And this is the country that the Cen
trail Vermont railroad has again under
taken to introduce to the public and
convey to the thousands of people of all
classes the information that among the
green hills of Vermont, at points con-
line of railway, they may find rest, recre-
alton and enjoyment, at prices that will
suit the financial status of the banker
and his clerk, the merchant prince and
his saleswoman, the manufacturer and
his workmen. In order so do this the
company has just issued for gratuitous
distribution, a pamphlet of 122 pages,
handsomely printed and attractively
bound, entitled Summer Homes among
the Green Hills of Vermont, and along
the Shores of Lake Champlain."
The work is a literary gem in the
matter of descriptive writing. 1t calls
to the notice of those, into whose hands
it may fall, portion of the innumerable
attractions that Vermont offers the Sum-
mer visitors. 1t is profusely illustrated
with scenes from the garden spot of
New England, as seen from the luxurious
coaches of the Central Vermont railroad.
Not the least commendable portion is
the long list of places where board for
the Summer in hotels and private families
can be obtained from So per week up
ward, also their location and the exact
distance from the Central Vermont rail
road stations. You can obtain copies at
the Office of the General Passenger
Agent, st: Adams, VT, or at the New
England office of the Central Vermont
railroad, 26O Washington street, Boston,
Mass, and at its New York Office 1853
Broadway, New York.
