work go ON, increasingly here.

1t is time to ask here, what this new
year of 1902 may likely have in store
for our town. For one thing, and
that no small one, it will see TIL last
payment ON our bonded railroad debit
of $50, 900 With our two new Italian
granite firms, If tho granite business
is good elsewhere, we shall look to see
perhaps more of the kind done here
than ever before And even this
might doubtless be quite largely in
creased if manufacturers were encour-
aged to come here, by more houses
and rentable granite sheds. If. as
many of us hope, Barre and Montpe-
lier can succeed in getting an extern
sion of our railroad to South Roval-
ton, or otherwise put us on new
line of road to Rutland, we shall look
for additional prosperity. But not
until we have railroad from the vii
lage to the quarries shall we be quite
satisfied. And is not that bound to
come some day not very far off?
