| We would call attention to letter else
where in this issue written by our worthy
townsman, Luther M. Waldo, from Talla-
poosa, Georgia. 1t came in response to our
solicitation that he would give his views of
| that section for publication. Mr. Waldo
went from here, with his family, in the fall
Of 1894, on account of i'll health. He had
| long been sufferer from scrofulous, and,
later, from lung trouble, and when he left
here was so poorly that it was feared it
might be too late to get any permanent
good from change of climate. Past midway
Of the 3O's in age, we believe-a most indus
trious, economical, intelligent and thrifty
farmer-we think his letter will possess
much interest for the WATCHMAN readers.
1t is quite natural and common to con-
trast the oftentimes very large pecuniary
success achieved by some who have gone
out from our small Vermont towns with the
smaller wealth of many others, equally
| gifted, who have remained behind in these
towns. In recent conversation with one
OF the former class, he frankly admitted
that had he stayed in his native town The
results of his life, so far as his wealth goes,
would likely have been small, since oppor-
tunity is as essential az the man, perhaps,
| in financial results. But what a comfort IL
ought to be to many Of us that, when the
! final great test of the success or failure of
all lives comes it may prove that the smaller
towns, with their smaller financial oppor-
tunites, have been the theaters of multi
tudes of the very highest, truesJ, conquests
and triumphs.
