DIR. j. d. Neel was in town Monday. The
Doctor represented this county in the Legis-
lature some years ago, but politics were
never congenial to his tastes and he soon
abandoned political life and returned to his
first love. that OF healing the sick and cult,
waiting his many broad acres. He is too hon
est and too outspoken to till the requirements
of the average politician. He uses his tongue
in laying bare the diseases on the body poll
tic with the same skill that he handles his
scalpel in anatomical diseases, and we hope
that he will be as successful in the one case
as he Is, always, In the other.

THE CORN CANNING FACTORY.
A New Proposition Submitted 60 ROsen-
stein Observation-Disclosures Meeting Dec.

A New Proposition Submitted 90 Rosen-
stein Brothers---Another Meeting Dee.
~.
The prospects for the establishment of a
corn canning factory in Brattleboro are
bright. The number of acres of corn
needed, 200, can be secured without doubt,
the only question being in regard to the
capital needed TO build the plant. The in
dustry being one that would use the prod
uct of the soil of the towns hereabouts, and
that would pay out large sum each year
in wages to the hands employed, it ought
to receive encouragement in the way of
subscriptions of stock.
The report of the committee appointed
TO determine the ACCESSIBILITY of the project
was made at the adjourned meeting held
in Grange hall Saturday afternoon. Hins-
dale had subscribed about 80 acres and
small amount in stock. Vernon has de-
cided not 10 engage in the enterprise, but
few acres of corn will be taken there. Yer
non farmers may attempt to get the factory
there in case the movement here is unsuc-
cessful. At West Brattleboro about 50
acres would surely be planted and a small
amount in stock would be taken. Ches-
terfield has taken no definite action, al
though there is considerable interest there
in the project. Dummerston and Guilford
will no doubt support the enterprise, but to
what extent is not known.
George W. Pierce offered proposition
modifying the one made by the representa-
tives of Rosenstein Brothers at the pre-
vious meeting. 1t was 10 the effect that
the farmers and citizens of Brattleboro
own the factory, and that Rosenstein
Brothers, or whoever rents 1t own all the
machinery, that the value of the factory
not exceed 5000, that the building be
rented so as to yield seven per cent interest
TO the owners. The firm at the end of the
first five years could have the privilege of
renting for another similar term. The
farmers are TO agree to plant not less than
200 acres of sweet corn, to be sold at S12 a
ton, one-half the amount to be paid upon
the delivery of the corn, and the other half
at the end of 45 days. The secretary was
instructed 10 communicate with Rosenstein
Brothers in regard TO the terms named by
Mr.. Pierce.
The meeting was adjourned until Satur-
day, Dec. rs, at i A. NJ, at Grange hall.
1t is hoped that the cost of the factory
building will not exceed $500 or $4,000.
The committee will canvass Brattleboro
and adjoining towns during the next two
weeks and they are hopeful that the amount
required to build the factory may be Sc
cured.
