Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1893-11-06

Barton must be gaming some fepu-
tation abroad, as we'll as about home.
The parties from New York who select
this point for banking purposes must
have some confidence in the place as
we'll as the surrounding localities.
The effort that has been made here IN
the last few years to help ourselves,
is already being rewarded.
Since Nov. 1st, 1892, we have order
ed for our MONITOR subscribers 462
Boston WeeIly Journals. This shows
the standing of that popular and use
full paper in this locality. This year
We hope to increase the number to
500. at least. Now is the time to re-
new your subscription. Send US $500

The attention Of about one thousand
delinquent subscribers is called to the
label on our paper which they have
been reading for the last year or
more. We shall be more than pleased
to write 1 Jan, 1850 the slip if they
will pay up. The publisher Of the
county paper pays out about as much
in making his paper as his subscribers
pay him, and he needs his pay.
The next project in the way Of vii
lage improvements and growth is the
building of all enlarged and first class
hotel on the American House site. The
plan is to move the present hotel
building back and put a large front
building in it's place. Plans have been
drawn and there are negotiations I'M
der way which seem to make 1t safe
to state that the thing will be done.
While we have two small hotels that
are creditable, it is believed that a
large, modern, A 1 hotel would be a
great advantage to the place.
A state bank, organized under the
statutes of Vermont, will be establish
ed in this village and commence bus
mess this week. We understand that
the proper deposits have been made,
the charter granted, and the law fully
the bank reside in New York city,
Burlington and Rutland. They are
said tol be wealthy capitalists, who
come into Vermont to do an honora
bic and legitimate banking business,
this town and locality of the state
having been recommended to them as
a good field for banking operations.
They have hired for the time being
rooms in the Owen block, adjoining
the MONITOR Office, and moved in
furniture, safe and all things required
for the banking business. Mr.. Henie,
cashier, has arrived, and some of the
stockholders will be here this week.

Harding. & Son, manufacturers of
butter tubs, are TO come here from
Lowell, bringing such parts of their
machinery and buildings as can be
moved, to engage in the making of
butter tubs, a business they have been

business. They have good line Of
customers and have sales of 200, 600

several places, offering TO erect a fac
tory, or. to do any reasonable thing

in this village, who are sometimes in
the habit of accomplishing what they
took the matter in hand,

gift, and by the loaning of money five
years without interest, for the cree
