BRATTLEBoRo q WHITEHALL.


Seventeen years ago the 18th day of
last November the Brattelboro II White
hall railroad was first opened To the gener-
a public for business. and. despite all pre-
dIc,ions to the contrary at that time 10y
those untriendly TO the enterprise, the lit
tie road has more than exceeded the eX-
pectations of its most sanguine supporters.
Since then various improvements have
been made from year to year, until the
road Is in a better condition today than
ever before New rolling stock, new ties,
new rails and new bridges have been add
ed, trestes rebuilt or filled in, etc, etc.
During the past season steel rails have
been laid from south of Newtane station TO
a point two miles south of TownShend sta
ton: and it may bee authorilatively stated
that the management will complete the re-
mainder to South Londonderry this year,
which will give a nearly continuous steel
rail from BrattlcbOro here.
-Four standard gauge iron bridges, enc
at the mouth of West river, one al West
Dummerston, one at WiIiamsyilie and one
south of Winhal station. now take the
place of the wooden ones formerly used
tor that purpose,
Long ties have been substituted for short
ones between BrattlebOrO and the quarrie,,
and, in all probability, a third rail viii bee
laid next summer, at least that is the in-
tention, provided certain contracts, now
under consideration by the Granite com
pany, are consummated.

If you only knew what thousands
of people have learned you would
suffer no longer. Surgery has been
the only radical help for hemorrhoids

troubles, makes it easy to do what

positively cures every form of piles
