A PRIVATE letter to John Ii. Kelso
from David E. Moore gives an encouras-

| bered Mr.. Moore recently located. He
writes that he still retains his interest in
the express and trucking business Of
which we spoke at the time he went
| South, has all he can do in that and the
venture is success. Like any other
| Yankee he starts into other lines of
business. He writes that he has taken
a One-fourth interest in the Tallapoosa
| Cabinet Company. and is manager of
the same at a good salary. 1t is com
paratively a small concern now, but
those interested in it with him, the
Mayor of the city, and two others, are
from the N9Gt99 GnHa 5+hhf fa gYGg''A Already
they employ fifteen men and will in
crease the force. soon. They now manu-
facture from Is to 100 suits per month,
mostly oak. We congratulate our friend

writes also that he Is much pleased with
the sanitary condition of TallapOosa, the
water is excellent and the climate de-
lightful.
THE Troy Press has this item: "After
having been closed for ten years the
hotel in the pleasant village of Walling-
ford, on the line of the Bennington and
Rutland railway, whose route passes
through many of the pleasantest and
best equipped summer resorts in Yer

llngford is the home of industry, and at
the same time of rural quiet and of the
Clarendon springs, celebrated for medic

No line of railway in Vermont passes
through such rural and historic scenery
as the Bennington and Rutland railway,
whose passenger business and quiet
summer resorts are being worked up
and cared for by its courteous general
passenger agent, II. w. Spafford, whom
1T is pleasure to meet on all occasions.
His programme for the coming summer
can but promote the local interest and
travel ON this great route to the north,
the Adirondacks and Canadian lakes.
The distinguished railway magnate, cele-
brated jurst and friend of Vermont and
promoter of all its varied interests, Gen.
John G. Mccullough, is president of the
corporation. He is gentleman Yer
mont ever delights to honor" 1t seems
strange to us that Bennington as a sum-
mer resort and Camp Comfort in
WoOdford, is not included in the above.

merits of any of our neighbors we can
claim that Bennington with its Walloom-
sac house crowded year after year is at
least as National as Manchester.
