The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1894-11-14

OF Montpelier, who gave his lecture on THE
Human Paradox" The lecture was pro-
nounced by all competent judges to bs one
of the finest things that Bradford audience
ever listened to. The next lecture will oc-
cur December 14th, and will be given by
Professor William L. Smith of Dartmouth
College. The Epworth League is entitled
to much credit for securing these lectures
and giving them to the public.
At village meeting held last week it
was voted to instruct the trustees to light
part of the village with oil lamps. Well,
oil is better than nothing, and half system
IL better than N system. But seriously, 1t
Is too late in century of improvements to
light town like Bradford with oil lamps
and hideous lampposts. A town which can
boast $40, 900 school building and 900
public library building and superb system
of concrete walks ought not to spend fl We
minutes time in deciding to have electric
lights. Get the voters together again and
do it, and see how quickly the people will
put in inc ,ndescent lamps.
Bradford now has hourishing bakery, by
which a long felt want is met. Now, If
somebody starts laundry, as is not i'm
probable, the village will be able locally to
do the work for which it sends money
abroad. Too much money which ought to
remain in our own Golfers now goes to en-
rich the pockets of the stranger. With gran
tie quarries, brick yards and unsurpassed
water power within our own midst, 1t is too
bad to buy GRAM 5e bricks and lumber for
our expensive buildings from distant towns.
Capital for the manufacturer, employment
for the laborer and profits for the trades
man, could be more certain at home by
little industry and sagacity. Why don't
our people do 1t?
