It has been the purpose of some parties in Stafford to get up work of this kind, not as money making scheme, but to benefit the town by making known to a wider circle it's beauties of scenery, it's pleasant environments, it's attractions as a summer resort, but more especially as a permanent home for those who would re- tire from business or would seek live town in which to invest capital in busi- ness The parties alluded to, satisfied that MT.
