young man, Mr.. Barlow is well known
throughout the state and, his friends be-
lieve, has the qualities which fully warrant
his selection for this important office. lie
is the moving spirit in the Farrar q Barlow
advertising agency, and his position has
brought him into close relations with the
advertisers and newspaper men OF the
state; he is young man of ability, integ-
rity and push and better than all, is loyal
Vermonter. His administration OF the Of
flee of secretary should rebound to the
credit OF the association and the good OF
the state.
The president OF the association, the
Hon. G. S. Page, is too well known to the
people of Vermont to need any introduce

lected to grace the office. 4
ADDRESS OF L. e. CHITTENDEN.
The address given by l.. E. Chittenden
was an admirable effort replete with sensi-
BILE ideas and thoughtful suggestions. S Some
interesting extracts follow:
While the states on either side OF her are
prospering, while great crowds Of men of
wealth with their families annually fill the
great hotels and boarding houses Of the
White Mountains and the Adirondacks,
making markets for all that is raised ard
scattering money with liberal hand, Ver-
mont with greater attractions than either
has not one frst-class summer hotel, is
standing still if nor growing poorer every
year.
He is hard to please, who cannot find
real pleasure in the rural population of
Vermont farmers and their families. They
have their faults, their pronunciation is
nasal, their speech is ungrammatical, they
DO not wear store clothes, and in trading
with them the city resident will be like clay
In the hands of the potter. But let sick
ness or misfortune come to the stranger
and he will very soon find out what being
Vermont neighbor means. For nowhere
under the sun can be found such helpful
sympathy as among these people. The.
boys go barefoot and the girls do not spend
much time over dressing their hair, but they
will be In much greater danger of getting
bad habits from city children, then the lat
ter will from them. Vermonters have their
faults, but to say that they are as civil, ac-
commodating and worthy as any country
people In the Union ,and much above the
avsrage,is but to give them their due.
The Vermonter goes to church or meet
ing with much greater regularity than his
city cousin.
He will not tolerate any interference by
anybody with his duty or his relations to
the Almighty. On this subject the visitor
will do well to let him very much alone
lie believes in keeping the Sabbath and in
some kind Of religious ~or.hirs,.
and that is quite enough religion to make a
good citizen.
