BY Special Train,

The Boston Sunday Herald, New
England's greatest newspaper, is now
brought into Vermont each Sunday by
special newspaper train. The Boston
Sunday Herald needs no introduction
to Vermont readers. For the last half
century its name has been familiar to
every family in the Green Mountain
state and in sending it in by special train
shows very clearly that the Herald is
alive to the appreciation in which it is
held here. At no time in its history
has the Boston Herald done more to
make its title to be New England's
greatest newspaper good than during
the trying times of the past two
months. Besides publishing every
phase of the great conflict before all
other papers, it has editorially support
ed the President in his efforts for the
best interests of the United States. Its
course has been applauded as the high
est type of patriotism and done more
than any paper in America to make an
honorable peace. The Boston Herald
maintains special departments covering
every field within the legitimate prov
ince of a newspaper. It is copiously
illustrated by its own staff of artists,
and merits the distinction of being
New England's greatest newspaper.
Our readers can secure the Boston
Sunday Herald at the nearest news
Dealers.
