Fred \. Whitney, recently business
manager of the Brattleboro Reformer, has
purchased the Northtield News and takes
immediate possession OF the property.
Beginning his journalistic career on that
paper, which he put on paying basis, he
has, in turn, made success of the Bur-
lington Clipper and won fresh laurels on
the Reformer. Mr.. L. b. Johnson, late
publisher OF the News, goes to Burlington,
having bargained for the Clipper. He,too,
is one OF the bright and successful news
paper men OF the state. Both deserve, and
will no doubt achieve, success under their

Horse Notes.

A. B. Manchester & Sons have Just re-
ceived an inquiry from New York for a
pair of Solicitors from four to seven years
old. 4 he order comes from man who
knew Solicitor before he came to Vermont
and is familiar with his stock. lie SAYS:
"It is the elegant finish, the lofty and
magnificent style, together with the fine
spirit (besides speed common to many
families) that Solicitor gives his get, that
l want. Price is not so material if they
are well mated and resemble the old horse
in as many ways as do most of his get"
Unfortunately, the order cannot be filed,
the oldest of Solicitors get IN Vermont
being only three years OLD. The number
of prizes that Solicitor and his produce
have taken home from the State fair, Ver-
mont Horse Breeders association and To-
cal fairs during the past three years, would
indicate that the standard of his family
nad not been lowered since coming here.
Although the market for common, average
horses is now in a state OF practical ruin,
so far as prices are concerned, the rich,
who want something elegant and extra
fine and of the right age. are as willing as
ever to pay big prices, provided they can
be suited.
