THE BENNINGTON BANNER, FRIDAY MARCH II, 1892

Il
that many farmer would find it vastly
to his profit to look closer to the i'm
provements of his cultivated land. He
wants such class of stock as will be
salable, and yet not beyond his means
to raise, in order that it may be used to
balance failure in crops; and he also
wants his land to be able to produce
crops enough to balance IA dull market
for stock. His motto is work the land
and breed variety of salable stock. g..
LET THE BOOMER KICK HIMSELF.
The Brattleboro Reformer says; The
lugubrious citizen who has seen his
thousands vanish in boom town invest
mentS in the South and West ought care
| fully to read Victor /. Spears report of
the progress and development of the
past year in Vermont, and then kick
himself that he didn't have sense and
foresight enough to do his duty by the
community in which he gathered his
wealth by investing it in home enter
prises. The simple fact is the day of
of croakers and decryers of Vermont has
passed. The men who are going to ''get
there" in business sense the next 10
years are the men who are going to their
business at home where they have some
chance of looking after it themselves.
THE MAPLE SUGAR EXCHANGE.
The Vermont maple sugar exchange,
with headquarters at Brattleboro, is a
vigorous four-year-old, and will cele-
brate its, birthday soon, having been or
ganized in March, 1888. 1t was formed
by Vermont sugar makers to market
their goods comparatively and to pre-
serve the reputation of Vermont Maple

movement has been proved by the sue
cess of the enterprise, its business ex-
ceeding all expectations. 1t sends goods
all over the United States, to California
and the South.
A NOTABLE GROUP.
The Montpelier H'dtchmdn says:
Four lawyers gathered around an Office
table is not a remarkable sight ordinarily,
but quartette which we noticed last
Saturday impressed the scribe as being
rather noticeable. They were Hiram S.
Huse, Hiram A, Huse, Joseph A. Wing
and George W. Wing The elder Huse
is IS and the elder Wing 81, while their
sons are each 40 years old. If the sons
are as hale as their parents when they
have reached their advanced age they
may well felicitate themselves.
@. A. II. MEN PREPARING FOR TIE Ma
TIoNAL ENCAMPMENT.
Vermont Grand Army men are already
making preparations for attending the
NotiOnal Encampment to be held in
Washington next September, and it is
probable that fully 200) Union veterans
from this State will march down Penn
sylvania avenue in line in the big par
ade.
Department Commander Hugh Henry,
will soon issue an order giving informa-
ton concerning the coming encampment
and the arrangements made, and propose
ed for the trip to the capitol. Com
mander Henry has received communi-
cation from Col. w. g. Veazey of Wash
ington, ex-Commander-in-C Chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, saying
that the Vermont veterans resident at
the capital had held meeting and
adopted measures for the reception and
entertainment of visiting veterans from
Vermont. A temporary association was
formed to carry out the plans decided
upon, and fund of $1,000 has been rails
ed for this purpose. Judge Veazey is
chairman and Col F. G. Butterfeld
secretary of the organization.
The association has got four parlors at
the Metropolitan hotel fronting on Penn
sylvania avenue, which it offers for head
quarters encampment week for the De-
partment of Vermont WOman's Relief
Corps and veterans and their friends. A
committee was appointed to assist Posts
to secure quarters, and committees on
reception and entertainment were also
appointed. 1t is probable that several
PosUs will attend the encampment in
body, accompanied by several bands.
