The State Dairymen's Association
holds its annual meeting at Brattle-
bOro next week. This is one of the
most important agricultural gather
ings in our State and is always of
great benefit to the community in
which 1t is held. 1t gets together
some three or four hundred people
and lasts three days. 1t has been
suggested to us that inasmuch as
[ he association has never been held
in Lamoille county, it would be very
proper for Morrisville to make a
move in this direction and invite the
association to meet here neXt year
The only request the association
makes is the use of a suitable hail
and reduced rates at the hotels.
Morrisyille will be every way fitted to
take care of gathering of this kind
next year and it is hoped that our
citizens, especially the business men
who would be greatly benefited, will
move at once in the matter. The in
yitations are always numerous and
it is the early bird that catches the
worm"
