AN ENCOURAGING SHOWING.

The State board of agriculture has put
out a bulletin containing summaries of
statistics relating to the progress of Yer
mont in an industrial way during the
past year. Farms to the number of 1764
changed hands, and some of these were
of the class called "abandoned'', though
that is scarcely a proper designation; !;
what the board probably means is, that
they had not recently been occupied. The
board say 129 Addison county farms
were sold in the year.
But these chickering's in farms are of
little consequence compared with the in
crease in manufactures. The boards re-
port shows that Sal 900 capital has. been
invested in this direction, that is, in man
ufacturing plants, but no statement is
given of the new capital used in operat-
ing them, which must be quite as much
more. The concerns employ from one
to 100 persons each and all the new ones
give work to 2l97 hands. The largest
increase has been in wOod-w working estab-
lishments, three of which are in this
county, at Lincoln, Bristol and PantOn.
Shoe factories have gone into operation
at Burlington, Bethel, Chelsea and Roy
alton; Hardwick, Calais, Burlington and
Montpelier have new granite works,
Poultney and Fair Haven additional slate
works, Morristown tannery and man
ufactory of boot heels, Stockbridge a
button factory and Newport an overalls
factory. New summer hotels have gone
up at Salisbury, Woodstock, Castleton
and Chester. On the whole the exhibit
is cheering. 1t is becoming evident that
Vermont may yet be a manufacture
ing State, and so prosperous all around.
In conclusion the board calls attention
to one fact that deserves especial con-
sideration, and perhaps as much right
here at home as anywhere. 1t is this:
TO secure manufactures it is first nee
cessary to have some advantages and
then let the fact be known. Probably no
town in the State has done so much to
advertise its advantages as has Burling-
ton and no town has made so great pro-
gress. In the sales of farm property,
Barnard leads all other towns. Last
summer Barnard did some liberal adver-
Using of its advantages. These facts
tend to the conclusion that it is a wise
policy for towns or localities possessed
of natural advantages or attractions to
let the outside world know what they
have. A little judcious advertising is
liable to bring large return.

knowing good thing when he sees it.
Mr.. Brooks has lately become the own
er of Rumor, which he bought of his
owner, Mr.. Stimmets of New jersey.

Apropos of the Rutland Ilerald's clar-

thing practical in this matter it will turn
in and help abolish the "mountaln rule"

why we have small-bore governors

THE STATE FlREMENs ASSOCIATION.

The executive committee of the Yer
mont Firemen's association held meet
ing in the parlors of the Logan House
here at | 80 o'clock yesterday to fix the
date and make other arrangements for the
forthcoming annual meeting and tourn-
ament of the association. The members
of the committee present were Vice-Pres-
ident S. ID. Miner of Nergennes, Treasur-
er l.. c. Grant of Burlington, G. w.
Dunton of Rutland, John j. Shea of Bur-
lington and j. ii Sargent of Mlddlebury
and there were few visiting tiremen not
members of the committee, including
Chief Engineer H. X. Hannum of Rutland
and w. ii. Adams of Vergennes. Presi-
dent f. 4. Allen of Fair Haven was absent
in Florida and Secretary +. ID. Moore of
Bennington was detained until the arrival
of the afternoon mail train by an accident
on the Bennington & Rutland road.
General talk of plans was INDUCED in at
the forenoon SESSION, but nothing was
definitely decided until Secretary Moore
arrived. Then in brief session it was
voted to hold the convention in the town
hall here on Wednesday, June 20, and
the tournament OF the fair ground on
Thursday, June 20. 1t was estimated
that the total expenses would amount to
Sl200, of which 500 was voted for the
prizes, the prize fo' the best st-drilled COM
pany being dispen'ed with for this year
at least. The prizes to be given are :
For the hose race, first, $500; second,
500; third, $50. For hook and ladder
companies, first, S.5; second, SIS, third,
$40. For the hald engine contest, first, =,
$500; second, SlO; third, $50. Some
changes were mide in the rules and
some of these vii make an important
difference with th manner of holding
the hose races, An order of business
for the convention was also arranged
and adopted.

the association-vill be the biggest thing

The st. Johnsbury Caledonan, speak
ing of better roads, says: "Permanent
improvements of this kind cost money,
but they pay in the end" That they
pay will not be disputed, nor will the
proposition that they cost; but such
roads as we do have cost, too. 1t might
be a good idea for some of the lyceums
hereabouts to settle the question wheth-
er money enough is not spent unwisely
on the roads of the county in the course
of ten years to put them all in first-class
shape were it judiciously laid out by
competent persons who sought to get
the most road for the money rather than
the greatest amount of political capital.

Waits River Valley Fair.

The third exhibition of the society was
held on the grounds at East Corinth on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last
week. and was a decided success. The
weather was somewhat threatening on
Wednesday but cleared up before night,
and the two real exhibition DAYS were all
that could be asked for in the line of fine
weather.
The leading feature of the fair was the
exhibit of oxen and steers, which is rarely
equaled at local fair, there being many in
number and large proportion of them fine
animals. There was a close competition
for the prize for the best five pairs of oxen
from one town, there being six entries
The first prize was given to West Fairlee,
second to Corinth, third to Topsham. The
various breeds of dairy stock were more or
less represented, Jerseys being exhibited
by George Prescott Frank Mum and j. p.
Sargent of Corinth, Frank Corliss of New
bury and Mr.. Fisk of Topsham; Devons by
Warren Curtis of Washington; Guernsevs
by G. c. Doe of South Newbury and d. G.
White of Topsham.
In the horse department there were
matched pairs, single drivers. brood mares
and colts, some of them very fine animals.
The exhibit of sheep, hogs, and poultry
was small but good.
carriages and harnesses were shown by
different parties, the prices and elegance of
which were suggestive of the comfort and
cheapness of riding at the present compared
with former times.
The attendance was large and all were
good natured. Those who wanted excitement
found it in the usual "hoss trot " and an
amusing running race between lot of
bronchos, one of which would bolt for the
barn every time around. then take new
start ard get there about as soon as the
rest. On Friday afternoon an address
was delivered by Hon. Victor I. Spear of
Braintree Mr.. Spear is not one of the
spread-eagle orators commonly credited
with making speeches at fairs, but gives
practical suggestions to his brother farmers
calculated to stir up their minds and lead
them to better methods in carrying on their
profession.
