Durham Brothers began Monday to oc-
cupy the rooms adjoining their store, just
vacated by the Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION, for their wholesale trade. The
firm view with justifiable pride and salts
faction the progress which their business
has made in the ten years since they came
to Brattleboro. At that time one member
of the firm and a clerk were able to attend
to the business OF the store. There has
been steady and solid growth, new clerks
being added from year to year, until at the
present time IL persons are employed in
the stores here and at Bellows Falls. Dur
ing the past year special attention has been
paid to the wholesale trade, and with the
increased room now afforded by the addi-
tional store and basement three men will
in future be kept on the road covering the
territory north from Springfield, Mass,
through Vermont and New Hampshire to
Canada.
The track for the trolley road was com
pleted to West Brattleboro Wednesday,
and work was begun near the Brattleboro
Livery companys Office that day. The
poles are set along the line to West Brat
tleboro, and the work of stringing the wire
begins today One abutment for the new
bridge at West Brattleboro is completed
and about third of the other built. New
timbers were put in the bridge near the
post-office at West Brattleboro. The com
pany has also blasted out the ledge neal
the Centreville bridge, making an easy
grade at that point, and has graded the
highway beyond the Crouch place to con
form to the level of the railroad. A new
timber will be put in the Main street
bridge. The frame of the West Brattle
boro car house is up and the house will
probably be completed this week. The
survey of the southern extension of the
road was completed Friday. The com
pany did not receive sufficient encourage
ment TO warrant their putting the roaC
through to the fair ground this year.

As study of color this is a most charming
picture and attracts great attention on ii

admirers of this artist. Doubtless Mr.
Hardie, as well as many another severely
