NEW BUSINESS IN VERMONT.
(From the Mortified News.


A particularly hopeful sign is the dis
position manifested in many Vermont
towns to encourage new business. The
citizens of Randolph has set good ex-
ample in getting together and forming an
organization for the promotion of new
manufacturing enterprises. Several en-
terprising citizens OF Northfeld few years
since invested little capital In getting
In new industries and II has realized n
healthy business growth ever since. A
little more enterprise and a little moro
organization this year would undoubtedly
push the growth along at more rapid
pace. Every town of any size could do
something of the kind and with little
money might easily set forth the advan-
tages which 1t has to offer for new indus
tries. 1t might not bring immediate re-
turns but II would be sure to have q bon
efcial effect With such an organization
citizens would be ready to meet and prop
erly encourage any new enterprise while
1t could not fail to have a .salutary effect
on the present business OF such towns.
The matter is worthy of serious consider
alton.
