Al Era Of Prosperity, Evidenced by
Much Building.
There are numerous evidences that
Vermont is enjoying greater degree
Of material prosperity than most OF
her sister states. A traveller by rail
along any Of the iron highways in the
state frequently sees new buildings, OF
additions to old ones, in the larger
towns, as well as in some Of the small.

nearly opposite the depot of the Cen
trail Vermont railroad. The first floor
will be occupied asa postotiice and the
second floor will be used by Deputy
Collector Burleson and the Offices of
the United States custom service.
1t is probable that work on the pro-
posed new town hall will be begun
this summer. The site for the build
ing, however, has not yet been decid-
ed upon by the voters. The prefer
ence of a majority Of the taxpayers to-

question, this location will probably
be selected. The Peoples Trust COM

Lyndonville is rapidly recovering
from the effects of the great fire in

the village will present an attractive
appearance. Webb's hotel building
will be finished and ready for guests

new Masonic Temple at
Lyndonville are ready to submit for
