Almost every man you meet, says

people can make living here grow
ing other things yet the fact cannot
be disputed that the orange will al
ways be the leading money crop in
this section, just as cotton is in some
portions of Georgia. The truckers,
some of them, have had considera-
BILE trouble in getting a stand in
their seed beds of cabbage plants.
The extremely dry weather, together
with the warm rays of the sun, has
caused good many of them to die,
and this is the case to such an ex-
tent that most of the truckers have
had to replant seed. The whole year
has been an unusually dry one in

To Attract Summer VISITORS.

This is the seed time for the coming
summer visitor harvest to Vermont
and the passenger department of the
Central Vermont railroad announces
that preparations are being made for
the publication of its book "Summer
Homes" for 1896. This publication
shares with the book on Vermont's re-
sources, published under the auspices
of the state board of agriculture, the
credit of advertising in a methodical
way the attractions of Vermont for its
summer tourists and residents. 1t is
announced that letters from persons
indicating their desire to take sum
mer boarders show that nearly all had
more boarders in 1895 than during
the previous summer, and it is proba-
BILE that the number will be still fur
ther increased the coming summer.
1t is to be hoped that residents will CO.
operate in this effort to spread the
fame Of Vermont's attractions and
that all desiring to take boarders this
season will communicate that fact to
the passenger department Of the Cen
trail Vermont at st. Adams. Vermont
cannot have too many summer visit
ors, and the secret of success in this as
in many other directions is to adver-

as seriously injured as Daley,who may
not recover. The boiler house is a COM
plete wreck. The force of the explo-
sion was so great that one of the boil

The damage to the plant is much
worse than was at first supposed.
There is an insurance of s., 900 on each
