ed. II is by far the best OF the many ex-
cellent numbers ofthis popular magazine,
in which all true Vermonters have a deep
interest. The leading subject treated
/ Randolph-is itself a frutfulthem and it
has been fully worked out. Effort and ex-

Randolph is the very large and complete
array OF illustrations, treating the nat

public buildings and private resi-
denees OF Randolph village and its
sister on the bill. In all there are 81
different views, none OF them being of
a personsl nature, that feature being
carefully kept out. The sketch by Rev.
Homer White gives a brief and interest
ing history of the town and brings out
what the views fail to entirely portray in
regard to the living present.
The most striking view is the panoramic
one Of the village OF Randolph taken
from the hillside of Mari Castle Park. 1t

nice view of Randolph Center and one of
the distant Green Mountains as seen from
the Center.

ONE measure of its deserving"
